Tom Fry , the Airdrie No 10,was actually lying on top of the ball and the Ref had given us a free kick so I don't know why Robbo had to attempt to play the ball , he did make contact with Fry. Hi Bobsablue, just watched the Airdrie highlights , not wanting an argument and Robertsons challenge was not needed but no whistle and foul had not been given before his challenge , he played the ball with the player lying on top of it , still a needless thing to do but not a red in my opinion .

Car54wherareyou Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Kev,I think Bob is right,playing the ball when the boy had it in his stomach area I think is dangerous play,straight red,I thought it was harsh at the time but looking at that Diamonds tv clip,does look pretty senseless challenge by the big man.

So kicking as hard as you can at a ball underneath a player which he probably couldn't even see is not a red card? Watching the highlights it looks like he just got frustrated and kicked out at him, red card every day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghBlue Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 As clear a red card as you will see all season. Nonsense. Worst refereeing decision I've seen in at least 12 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a red for me , ball is clearly visible , Airdrie player committing a foul by his actions that the ref didn't give until Robertson played the ball, its a foul if you hit the man first then the ball but not the other way round , unnecessary yes but red card no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think Robertson did not need to have made the decision to get involved which made it easy for the Ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
