Pie Of The Month Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 ^^Has litterally never watched Jim Goodwin play a match^^ This. Goodwin has been on the end of a couple of bad tackles v Thistle and has just got straight back up and not made a fuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I will be relieved if Goodwin misses our match with St Mirren. I'm not condoning some of his antics but he is a very competitive opponent in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 This. Goodwin has been on the end of a couple of bad tackles v Thistle and has just got straight back up and not made a fuss. He went down holding his face when Kris Boyd had a tiny wee jab at him last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Even if there was no intent involved (there obviously is), repeatedly flailing your elbows/arms into opponents faces is a ridiculous and dangerous habit to get into, and one that he should be discouraged from. The dangerous play bit seems to be the bit that apologist simpletons like Stevie88 fail to grasp. A(nother) deserved suspension for Goodwin.

Drooper Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 He went down holding his face when Kris Boyd had a tiny wee jab at him last season. Aye, but that was Kris Boyd. Mitigating circumstances, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed he dishes it out over the top i'll admit but he's never one to complain when he's on the end of a bad one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nizzy Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 The aforementioned Black & White Army makes for hilarious reading: ran into his elbow i'd say, why was he still going in when the ball was clearly going out Surely tackling a player once a ball is out of play is a sending off offence. We should send the video to the SFA. There was nothing in that at all, if anything it is a booking for the United player for clattering up the back of Goodwin when he isn't within playing distance of the ball. Goodwin was fouled three times and the referee chose to ignore each foul , Goodwin was just brushing off as he is entitled to do . Is it right for an attacker to be so aggressive towards a defender and not expect the defender to look after himself And my personal favourite: Don't see him looking back and his reaction is almost as the boy runs in to him. If it's a taller player then its a complete non issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingscot Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 He went down holding his face when Kris Boyd had a tiny wee jab at him last season. Did he? I think he held his shoulder where Boyd punched him. The sinking to the knees was a nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P45 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I don't think there's much in it but I'm fully behind a ban for him for Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth_Glasgow Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Those three games without Jim should be a laugh considering we have about 4 fit players left anyway. If County are still below us in a few games time, they should be appalled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebonce Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Was the County incident shown in the BBC highlights? Yes. Steven Thompson put it down to Goodwin trying to protect his face. I'm sure Collum gave a bounce ball when Kiss had to go off for the cut to his head. The SFA didn't do anything. Those three games without Jim should be a laugh considering we have about 4 fit players left anyway. If County are still below us in a few games time, they should be appalled. I'm preparing myself to be appalled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby_F Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Both surprised and not at all surprised at this outcome. Ref or linesman spot it and Jim misses a game. Both miss it, and he misses 3. And say what you like, but there really is no way that if that had been John McGinn for example that had done this that it would be being discussed at all. Is it an elbow, yes, is it wild/dangerous/wreckless, is he out to injure an opponent, nope. This is REALLY going to hurt us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casual Bystander Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 It's a deliberate elbow Ah, the implicitness of a classic witch hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nizzy Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 BTW, saying it isn't reckless is about 100 times worse than saying it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggis pakora Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Clearly Scotland's most fouled player just feels that he needs to protect himself since the refs refuse to do so. This is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the ref spotted it he would have been given a red card for violent conduct and would have a 3 match ban for the exact same reason (2 matches for this red + 1 for it being his second red of the season).
