I'm not saying this is an inaccurate portrayal of events but I'm very glad I didn't go. It wasnt great although bizarrely your highlights dont include your best effort / Martin's best save. It was as dull a game as I have seen this season. I dont think the pitch or our tactics helped that but to an extent the teams cancelled each other out as they did twice at Palmerston last season. Poor entertainment but a great 3 points for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several players from both sides lost their footing on it first half when trying to change direction, especially around the middle of the park, and it was clearly a factor in Dobbie miscontrolling his late chance just before our goal. Its not meant as a criticism by the way. Any grass pitch with the wet weather we had on the day would have been the same. But it clearly affected the ability of both clubs to play fast passing and change direction at pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingfaetheSooth Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Watching the highlights on the Pars' YouTube, I thought it was actually a decent finish from Todd for the goal. Pitch looked slippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fae_the_'briggs Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I thought they had invented something to help stop players losing their footing on a slippy grass pitch, studded boots I believe they are called. Norman Jnr. seemed to have trouble keeping his feet which is surprising as I thought, coming from Vancouver, he would be used to slippy wintry conditions. I thought the Queens players looked a bit more prone to slipping than the home side actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got to say that it looks like a very clear foul from Dykes in the build up, when he wins possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt it could have been given as a foul. however whilst the ref was a little inconsistent he was generally letting that sort of thing go. Can't blame him for us not adapting to that.

Nice hefty shoulder charge, nothing wrong with that! Having watched Dobbies chance again too, Im not sure he slips either. Just seems to get his feet wrong and knocks the ball with his right foot and swings and misses it with his left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shoulder charge appears to have largely left the game. Whilst I'm not convinced that's actually a foul, I'd accept most referees probably give it as one. I'd also agree with parsforlife though that the referee was allowing that sort of thing from both teams all day so it wasn't anything inconsistent. You can see Dunfermline win the ball from Todd with a similar challenge earlier in the highlights. I also agree from our highlights it's fairly clear Dobbie doesn't slip. He just clips the ball with his standing foot as he's about to shoot and misses the ball as a result. Or he doesn't slip over significantly as I first thought anyway, his standing foot may have moved a little which is what causes the touch. Todd's finish is excellent actually, guided into the bottom corner but helped by Robinson expecting it to go the other way and being off balance and unable to go the right way when he realises it.

19QOS19 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 It infuriates me when refs penalise shoulder barges but in that instance I wouldn't have had too many complaints if he had given it. He sent the boy flying which was pretty amusing actually. Not sure if Todd actually slipped before his shot, it looked like he felt after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
