ICT basically saying that playing this game on Saturday will cost them money given how much of the ticket sales the SPFL hoover up. Why on earth do the SPFL hoover up so much of the money and what exactly does it go towards, pretty sure we would have made a loss last night after seeing how the money is spread out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB1994 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 For the offside goal, can't see why people keep chuntering on about camera angles. You don't need to worry about that when you can see clearly that the scorer is inside the box, and no Ayr player is, when the pass was made. Open and shut case m'lud. No need for discussion really. The officials got it wrong and totally changed the dynamics of the game. Pair of incompetent chancers. It's not them again on Saturday is it ? Still maintain the penalty was incredibly soft. Just hope we get the rub of the green up in Inverness, but I doubt it somehow. Almost got to the stage of getting my tin foil hat out and indulging in a bit of conspiracy theorising. Have always believed our officials might be incompetent but were so in an unbiased way. This game strained that belief to the utmost. Ref obviously thought a 1 goal lead might not be enough for ICT and gave them a clearly offside goal just to be on the safe side. Then when we got one back he shat himself and gave them a soft penalty to restore the 2 goal lead. The fly in the ointment of this half baked theory is that I cant quite work out why the powers that be would rather have Inverness in the top league than us. Am I missing something here ? Regarding ICT style of play , I agree that Robertson has rumbled our weakness against height and strength and rightly got his team to play that way against us. The results speak for themselves. I assume they play more football against bigger and more physical sides than us. For us, only Muirhead and Rose have any real aerial presence, as Rose showed with his goal where he seemed head and shoulders above the defence., Great header.The ICT bias that officials have is one of the biggest problems in Scottish Football right now imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any Killie fan I know want Ayr up, for quite obvious reasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 If we're going with daft conspiracy theories I'll throw one in. McLean hates us because his brother used to play for Ross County. He'll give everything to Ayr. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 The decision only to give a booking at the very end was utterly ludicrous, it was right in front of his eyes! Even worse than the offside goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is getting decisions this weekend it’s Ayr... As for the decisions last night, it looks offside but it’s hard to tell from the video. It’s definitely a penalty and I never saw the supposed red card incident. I did notice Ayr got a free kick for pretty much nothing so I’m not sure where these conspiracy theories are coming from. It's only hard if you want to ignore that big white line that only one player has breached. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Steven McLean being the ref on Saturday looks as if it'll spice things up a bit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 White has one foot over the white line and the rest of his body, including his other leg, looks to be about on the line. There is another Ayr player standing on that white line, between White and the linesman, which would suggest White is marginally offside, but is blocked out from the linesmans view. From the angle in the video it’s obviously inconclusive though, and I think there is some amount of reaching by Ayr fans, given that they are criticising the ref for giving a pretty obvious penalty.Yup. The radio commentary was entirely convinced it was a penalty. The referee has a much better view of that, and the offside, than the camera. You can’t tell a thing about the offside from where the camera is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I haven’t seen a conclusive angle of the offside so I can’t 100% comment on it yet. The penalty though, that’s a clear foul by Kerr (I think) on McCart. An absolutely needlessly stupid one as well. Not sure how anyone can blame the ref for that one.A clear foul? Oh come on. He leans into him, and for me that's not a penalty. I was expecting a push, but there's no way that can be described as a push. Anyway, I'm more concerned by rose's stupid header for the second goal. What kind of centre half does that? He's going to have to improve massively if he's going to make it down south. Also not impressed by the weakness of Smith at the opening goal. He's got to do a bit better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Kerr definitely uses his arm to shove McCart there. It’s not a dreadful foul, but a clear one. Shove? Not using any definition I've ever known. He puts his arm up into the player's back. There is clearly contact. Said player then arches his back and jumps because he knows that he can't keep the header down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Funnily enough, you need a far better angle to judge an offside decision than you do for a foul. Just seems weird that you can’t see that.I think they see in 144p resolution down there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
