A Believer Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I hope Garden, Cowdenbeath and, vicariously, Berwick and SPFL2 maximise this having gone viral. It's completely bizarre, but brilliant, bring some fun and maybe even a few bob to both clubs at tough times. Pity Irving's meg-nuts on the Cowdenbeath defender earlier didn't get the same attention. So sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre and unorthodox yes but touching the ball then player is the same as a tackle with the foot surely. not that the rules matter to the Cowden hating roasters on here. The video ref has spoken , jeez 'well technically it's not a penalty as he did touch the ball with his pecker just before the blade of grass did', couldn't care less, It really is a classic , like an old you've been tangoed advert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryHill Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 It was a penalty. A fuckin ridiculous one befitting our farce of a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummo Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Penalty made it onto Sport Today on BBC World News TV channel. I have lived in SE Asia for twelve years and to see Scottish League Two feature on EPL besotted BBC is nothing short of miraculous, even if it was just to highlight a weird, comedy moment.

Gordon EF Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 That's absolutely brilliant. Clearly a pen though. He does get a slight touch of the ball but then completely wipes out the Berwick player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcar Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 What makes it a pen is that it hit the BACK of the Cowden player's head. Now, even if that was just before wiping out McKenna, it still means that the defender was totally out of control and had no clue what would happen next. If you close your eyes and leap recklessly into a tackle it is still a foul, even if by a fluke, you get the ball first. Not sure now about the linesman's input. We all know most of them haven't the confidence to give a throw-in, never mind a penalty. I think the ref's delay was due to him being gobsmacked at the Cowden player's impression of an oil drum.

If there is a physical contact, the action becomes a offence punishable with a direct free kick or penalty kick. Given he dived at the guys feet, which would put it in the dangerous bracket, then made contact with the player, it would be fair to say that was a penalty.

Gene Simmons Tongue Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Loving the match report from the Cowdenbeath Facebook page - surely the most tongue in cheek use of "had fallen over" ever. Maybe more Blue Bells than Blue Brazil these days?? I'm Falling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
