19QOS19 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Made a fool of himself again today. Must have a chip on his shoulder Tbf I can understand why. But surely that should be in the direction of James Fowler! From what I recall he was well liked by the fans and we questioned why he wasn't getting more game time when he was with us. I've no issue with ex-players giving it back to the fans but when the fans don't dish it out I find his antics very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The near glory of a player scoring from about 85000 yards, an outstanding save to deny it, desperate attempts from defenders to scramble the loose ball away, the defending team clearing the ball up the park, the entire defence of the attacking team charging up the park to celebrate the goal as their opponents broke, the linesman frantically signalling that play was still ongoing while six players celebrated right in front of him, the team who nearly conceded seconds before charging into the opposition box while fans were still celebrating the goal that hadn't actually happened. If that counter attack had resulted in a Morton goal it would have been all over shite football banter accounts on twitter for decades. A great description of what happened, I thought it was a goal, but saw quickly that play was continuing while I saw 4/5 players surround linesman. I thought we done well not to concede a goal on the break as players celebrated that would have been unbelievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could he not have had some abuse from a section of the crowd which you weren't in?? Could only be a few shouts but enough to stick when he scores....

Hawk Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Missed opportunity for us against our main rivals for the fourth playoff place. Dobbie was Dobbie but thought he was slightly greedy on a couple of occasions ( not that we can really complain). I did say earlier that Harkins was the one we needed to keep quiet, wasn't to be and it cost us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However at the end of the day thats what he is supposed to do. And he almost certainly got it right. I have seen two different angles of footage now along with a series of stills and spoken to photographers who were on the line. It's very very close. Gaston, diving backwards, parries it in mid-air on or close to the line. He then falls back into the net, causing it to ripple before diving back to the line and landing on the ball as it is bouncing on the line. Its impossible even on the footage I have seen to be sure if the ball is in or not but it probably isnt all in. Certainly there is no way the officials can give it. Over the piece I thought we deserved to win. We had much the better of the first half, though Harkins who was Morton's best player by miles, hit the bar with an early free kick. The goal was terrific. There was another move of 1-2's between Dykes and Dobbie that would have been even better if Dykes had been able to finish it. Morton started the second half the better though and we gave Harkins far too much space to create the equaliser. We got back in charge about midway through. Dobbie should have scored when Rankin put him in and then should have squared to Thomas for a tap in soon after instead of going himself and allowing Gaston to make a good save. Then came THAT incident. Morton should probably have scored on the break as most of our team celebrated the "goal". Dykes forced a terrific save from Gaston and then Murray left him grasping thin air last minute only to have his shot cone back off the post. Its a much better point for Morton than for us but there was plenty of encouragement there for the coming weeks. Have you seen the pic from Stephen Lang it looks a goal all day long.This is a game we should have won I just wish we had more goalscorers in the team.It is all Dobbie he almost seems to think that at times only he will no why he never made a simple pass to Thomas to score .

Stephen Lang was behind the other goal 100 yards away. I saw him post a photo an hour or so back but it didnt look in to me. Dont know if he has since posted someone else's photo somewhere.

Rjc-1988 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Overall a good performance but a 15 minute spell immediately after HT ultimately cost us dear. To be fair Gary Harkins had a very good game in a central midfield role.Thomas is clearly a player with ability but his continual deployment on the right seriously limits his effectiveness. He constantly gets himself into dangerous positions but invariably ends up swinging a very weak right foot at the crucial time or he slows down a dangerous attack to work the ball on to his left peg. Personally I think he needs to reinvent himself as a left sided midfielder or as a playmaker in behind a front 2. Shame really because there is a talented player in there but wide right is not maximising his skill.Poor old Lino took pelters and by all accounts made the right call. Must admit it looked a goal but there is nothing like a "sense of total injustice" to waken the home support out of its slumber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Not the best one and it's clearly not over in that one, but the position of the ball there and the fact Gaston has moved the net is what tricked my mind into thinking the ball has touched the net I reckon.

As you say, not conclusive, but it does show that it was certainly extremely close. I wonder if the movement of the net is what swung a lot of people, not least the Queens players who joined the celebrations. If Naysmith was an active participant and the officials got it right, it would have been pretty embarrassing for him if Morton had turned their brief numerical advantage into a goal in the aftermath.

19QOS19 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I'll admit it's what swung me. I saw Gaston fall but at the time never realised he landed in the net. I assumed the movement of the net was because the ball hit it. Clearly that wasn't the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Drifter Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 There is an animation of all the still photos on the official site now. Very good work from Colin J. If the ball is ever in its by fractions and when Gaston first claws it back. It certainly never hits the net, though he does, although it may hit the post.

QoS_1919 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I've got a really decent still picture of when the keeper pushes the ball forward from the goal. But I'm not sure how to upload on here? Says that this does not accept the file type?Looks like It's a cracking save from Gaston! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is pretty good work. It's obviously exceptionally close, but it doesn't look like it was in. I suppose Dobbie benefited when a broadly similar situation was judged in his favour at Kirkcaldy last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
