harry94 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Yeah. Clarkson dived. He realised that he had lost control of the ball and decided to go down. Pretty blatant from the highlights tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrybiy Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Not sure about the first decision. It was the most important moment of the game. I think Clarkson tried to lob the keeper and it was going wide so he either went down or the keeper took him down, it looked like a pen from the main stand. Then harkins got booked for an accidental handball a minute after a st Johnstone player done the same. The boyle incident looked like it came off his head rather than his arm. Stewarts pen looked a stonewaller. If we'd have lost I'd have been a heads gone candidate but in the end we were hanging on. I'll wait to see the replays but we could have won that easily.

harry94 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 McPake fouled Wright in the first half (when Wright charged to the linesman and got booked). Was holding onto his shirt pretty clearly so dodged a penalty there. The penalty was very light (but albeit a penalty) and you see defenders get away with that quite a lot; it was way lighter than the one in the first half anyway. Can't be definite about the Stewart incident but it does seem like he just lost his balance. As much as it pains me to say it, the verdict on the big decisions is that on a first viewing Madden got them right apart from missing a St Johnstone penalty. Anyone feel differently after watching it? His performance was still shite but it was the less significant decisions that he got wrong; we can't really put the result on him McAllister really wasted a chance when he cut the ball back across goal and we had another couple of half chances we could have done better with.

The Real Saints Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I must admit I was almost certain that Clarkson dived at the time, but I didn't see the 'trip' which Kyle mentioned so I don't want to speak too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fife Saint Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Seems like the ref has done us in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrybiy Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Forgot to say the st Johnstone penalty was also a stonewaller. No idea why mcpake done that it looked like bain had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry94 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Can't say Clarkson dived at all. I've sort of changed my mind a bit. Watched it over ten times and I'm now thinking that, by the letter of the law, he was fouled but he went down pretty dramatically and that makes it look a bit cheap. If he had continued but stumbled then it would have looked a lot clearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungo Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 just watched the highlights - very soft penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Wait till you see it on TV. Record Sky Sports news so you don't have to watch Harry Redknapps sagging beanbag pus, and the rest of the pish. The goals have been shown, and the incident, they'll repeat It again soon. When I've not had my hole for a while I like to say my baws are hinging like Harry Redknapp's eyelids. So I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 That's my opinion. Either the camerawork is awful or that is the most bemusing penalty decision I've seen (so far) this season. We got away with one in the first half, no doubt. What do the other incidents look like on the highlight package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Yup, just had a look and haven't changed my mind. Clarkson dived IMO. Mannus reaches out in an effort to retrieve the ball, Clarkson runs into his arm and makes the most of it. Mannus makes no intentional move towards Clarkson in an attempt to obstruct him.

The Real Saints Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 And I agree that the highlights package make the penalty seem a very soft one. Stewart also dives for Dundee, and Frazer Wright is blatantly pulled back in the box at the hands of James McPake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Clarkson dived. When Wright was booked it was a clear penalty after McPake nearly ripped his shirt off Our penalty looked soft but definitely a clear shirt tug from behind goal Easton heads ball Dundee should have had a penalty when Wright clearly trips Dundee player.

The Real Saints Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Yes, on second viewing, it looks like Wright may make contact with Stewart in the box. Hard to say for sure without an alternative angle though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForzaDundee Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Just watched the highlights and can confirm that the Saints support was very small, just over 500 I'd say. Poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Just watched the highlights of the Clarkson incident. Clear penalty. There is contact, no questions about it. ETA: Mannus also lowers his arm and puts it across Clarkson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 It was a definite penalty. From the Bobby Cox you could see the, er, "distortion" of the jersey as it was tugged. I also don't buy into the notion of "soft" penalties. It's either a penalty or it's not. ETA: I should add I mean the St Johnstone penalty that was given.

The Real Saints Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Just watched the highlights of the Clarkson incident. Clear penalty. There is contact, no questions about it. Well, yes, of course there is contact. Clarkson runs into Mannus and then falls over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
