19QOS19 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Superb from Holt to keep it out. You have to laugh at players/feel sorry for officials. The ball is nowhere near over the line yet two Ayr players* are giving the linesman absolute pelters. * I expect we'd be the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The major incidents have been pretty much cleared up now but a couple of things that havent been talked about were the awful defending for Queens first goal and the fantastic pass by Connor Murray for Dobbies run that led to the penalty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the angle behind the goal he appears to grab Osman's arm and drag him to the ground rather than there being any action from Osman to bring him down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the angle behind the goal he appears to grab Osman's arm and drag him to the ground rather than there being any action from Osman to bring him down. Bell appeared to go down very easily but Osman made it an easy decision for the ref IMO. He has both arms around Bell and the ref has a good view of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fae_the_'briggs Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Aaron Muirhead in today's newspaper reports taking the blame for the first goal failing to mention of course he was also to blame for giving away the penalty, and probably shouldn't have still been on the park to take Ayr's penalty. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think there was an identical incident a few mins before that was more blatant.

Bell appeared to go down very easily but Osman made it an easy decision for the ref IMO. He has both arms around Bell and the ref has a good view of it. Only momentarily, though. He takes his left hand off Bells back long before Bells feet go from under him. Yes, theres contact and yes, Osman is stupid for giving the referee the option to give a penalty but Bell buys it by going down so easily. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're absolutely right, though, there had been far worse incidents at earlier set pieces 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The referee may also have a completely different view to the camera angles and could see incidents differently 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said they wouldnt. What I said is you cant give a penalty for a challenge that isnt a penalty just because you havent given a penalty for other, worse, challenges. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not clear how much pulling is being done by either, but its probably safe to say they are both at it. Having someone pull your arm in front of your chest doesnt make your knees collapse, though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having someone pull your arm in front of your chest doesnt make your knees collapse, though I partly agree with this, while correct, it doesn't allow you to jump and compete for a header from the corner, if you can't go up.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 It's that grey area of cheating that I think is slightly necessary to alert referees. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
