parsforlife Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 1 hour ago, 19QOS19 said: The discussion about driving into the box came about when parsforlife said the initial foul wasn't preventing a promising attack anyway. It absolutely was. If he wasn't held back he could have got a run into a dangerous position. That he fell down is neither here nor there. A referee would have to deem whether a dangerous attack was being prevented or not, he can't very well then think "aye but the attacker might dive anyway". When he was held back he wasn’t in a promising position. Just as you say the ref can’t judge if the attacker would dive or otherwise make an arse of things, you can’t also say that an attacker might get into a promising position sometime after the foul is made, otherwise every single free kick would be a booking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Seriously, this must be the most intensely debated irrelevant decision in football history. Imagine if this had happened at some point other than during the game's dying moments. Edited March 1, 2021 by Monkey Tennis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the relevance rather than its impact on the game itself. Had it been his first booking, probably nobody would have mentioned it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I get that, but Bloody Hell, the subject is getting quite an airing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjc-1988 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 That is the first time I saw the penalty incident - that must be about the most blatant penalty you could ever see. Some people in the early after match comments suggested it wasn’t a penalty - am I missing something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD said this and I'm pretty sure he was there: "It was all Dunfermline for the first half hour and, whilst the penalty award itself was laughable, a lead at the time would have been fully merited." Like rjc, I think it was among the most blatantly obvious penalty awards I've ever seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Flash Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I have watched the penalty incident several times, frame by frame and, on balance, I think he was probably entitled to go down when he felt the contact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hard to imagine a clearer penalty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otis Blue Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Mayo's red card - I like wee Dapo but hate watching players hitting the deck for no reason. That said, the linesman was only 3 or 4 yards away and flagged for a foul almost immediately, so you would have to think he must have seen something. Can't see it on the video though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Mayo got absolutely fucking done, so he deserved to get a second yellow no matter what. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
