bobbycoxblue Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Motherwell fans would be more excited and happy about winning the league cup just as our fans would be more excited than Real Madrid fans if we won the Champions League.

Dons_1988 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Yeah I was saying to my Dad the celebrations were a bit muted because it was a pretty nothing game and the opposition had about one chance. With all due respect too, it's Motherwell, who are more diddyish than Aberdeen, the new team from Glasgow or either of the Edinburgh sides. It's a shame that had Motherwell won it would be like us winning the Europa League, but if these occasions weren't rare for them the celebrations would become more muted. Another thought I had is that half the Motherwell support would have been to Fir Park a couple of times this decade so f**k 'em and their party. I didn't think it was a nothing game.I was actually really enjoying it up until the penalty. Obviously Celtic were fairly dominant but Motherwell were right in it at the same time.I don't want to go into the whole diving debate etc. But it's just shite that a national cup final was ruined on a very soft penalty at best. And it was ruined, let's be honest. I'm not saying Motherwell would have gone onto win but I was genuinely really enjoying it up until that point.

The Master Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Here's a verbatim quote from a Celtic fan on another forum: Quote It's up to the ref to decide what contact is a foul He decided it was a foul Therefore it was a foul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the ref feels there was no attempt to get the ball and the defender was simply trying to take the forward out the game then the red card is the right decision, from the refs point of view. If Kipre had slid in, took the man first and the ball, then a penalty and booking would be right. As it is, the penalty is the debatable part of the decision. I think it was soft but I would also expect to see it given more often than not these days. The one at the other end was similar, though how much the ref seen of that and how much he should have been getting help from his assistant there I don't know. Whatever the case, inconsistent decision making at best and incompetence at worst. I think previous performances would suggest the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I've come back on here to read the comments that 'any contact' is enough for a penalty to be awarded to compare it to Brown's claim that he just brushed Moult off the ball in the lead up to Motherwell's goal in the league. The force Brown used was greater but he wants to be measured against a different standard to Motherwell players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The OP Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 When I saw it I thought the free-kick for the Motherwell goal was fair enough tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I think you are right and it was only raised to deflect attention from the penalty, anyway we move on, Saturday is a new game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
