Wrong. Arms not in a natural position so it is a pen. One of the few things the ref got right.

The unnatural position rubbish ain't part of the rules any more. They simply state:

 

touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger. A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation. By having their hand/arm in such a position, the player takes a risk of their hand/arm being hit by the ball and being penalised;

Eh that’s a bit of contradiction

No it says unnaturally bigger. Doesn't mention unnatural position.  You could have your hands in front of your face . That doesn't make it any bigger but is it a natural position?

The rules state you need to make your body bigger . Hitting you on the arm wrapped in front of your chest isn't doing that in any manner. If his arms are out from his body then yes stonewall but they aren't. So according to the rules it's no a pen.

Deliberate hand ball is deliberate hand ball without the guff around it.

I thought right away it was a penalty, yellow would've been spot on but probably the guidance refs have is red.

Cheeky p***k 😂 You do realising you're doing your team as much of a disservice with that claim as ours? The game looked very much what it was; title-contenders but one a tier up from the other. Falkirk definitely weren't rubbish, play with that effort most weeks against League One teams and you'll be rosy.

Not meaning to be cheeky. Admittedly I have only seen highlights of a couple of your games plus the entirety of the Ayr game. Rather than middling, maybe a “top four Championship side” would have been more accurate.

You don’t look capable of skooshing your way to the title just as we don’t look capable of skooshing L1 either.

Both sides are decent examples of their respective leagues……..capable of winning the league, but on the evidence so far, both capable getting a doing by other sides in our respective leagues. Ayr in your case, Airdrie in ours.

On last nights evidence they won’t be far off winning that league IMO. We were in the game right up to 80 minutes. That encourages me on our chances in L1

M&S will have the Dundee game parked and forgotten about.
We need the same desire, fight and application as our previous two league games, we’ll be a difficult team for anyone in this league if we can reproduce. 

I hope so. Kelty (A) Alloa (H) Pars (A) Clyde (H) will give us a good idea of what lies ahead.

10 pts from those 4 fixtures, and we have every right to be optimistic. Less than 8pts, and the doubts will surface again, but I reckon we have enough about us to do well in those four games.
