Cold Feet Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Highlights are very well put together. Never a pen and a stupid player getting sent off. I do wonder about grounds now being utilised for teams in SPFL - admittedly some are not great that are already there. However there needs to be some criteria. There seems to be a drive in tier 5 football to invest in players and not the ground and indeed we have many clubs renting - thereby being able to focus on players and not so much about facilities. Even in HL there are huge differences in grounds; some good, some not so and some clearly about to fall down. And pitches, well again a mixed bag. Huge slops and even folds in some. I guess that what we get for being in the HL. However back to original point what standards are there for SPFL teams? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Christ that penalty looks worse on video that it didn’t in person. Mental decision. Re grounds. Their is an SFA criteria. Give me a ground like Bonnyrigg that’s absolutely not modern in any way but sits in the heart of the town over some generic garbage like East Fife or Dumbarton any day. It will be absolutely fine to host league 2 football and 3/400 fans a week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree there needs to be a drive to make Tier 5 grounds better, but what's the point when they teams may sit in the HL/LL for eternity. A chance of getting a chance of promotion isn't enough to make these teams improve facilities for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe all three. If that’s a penalty there should be 4 or 5 of them in every single game in the country, plus another dozen fouls for players seeing the ball over the line for throw ins. To be fair it was soft, but at the end of the day he prevented connolly from getting the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berwick-the-unbeatable Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Still find it bizarre how many are glossing over or finding excuses for Swann's stupidity. They couldn't be two clearer yellow cards. You're a forgiving bunch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberdeen Cowden Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 To be fair it was soft, but at the end of the day he prevented connolly from getting the ball.Every corner kick would result in a penalty if that was the case. Even just standing in front of an opponent stops them getting the ball never mind all the shoving and shirt pulling. If a ref wants to give a penalty to a team all he has to do is wait for a corner, that ref wasn’t even bright enough to do that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's allowed to prevent him from getting the ball. It's called shielding. As long as the ball is within playing distance it's perfectly legal and as someone has pointed out already, you see it half a dozen times in every game. Never seen a penalty given for it before. The ref has had a shocker there. The infringement is actually the other way as the Cowdenbeath player was pushed over. That falls into the category of soft but any referee looking at that footage would have awarded the free kick to Cowdenbeath when the ball didn't go out of play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowdenPhil Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Watched the highlights and what stood out for me is how most of our players are just not good enough. Stupid errors and a basic lack of ability and desire cost us on Saturday as it did in the season. I can see Saturday being just as bad if not worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vimto90 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 The penalty is a joke of a decision but cowden fans going all Old Firm esque ref conspiracy mongering is even worse. The standard is just shite. Simple as that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay maybe "prevented" was the wrong word. We still won comfortably. Enjoy your visits to Edinburgh and Stirling universities and that footballing powerhouse Open Goal Broomhill FC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodka Vic Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Cowden could be doing with a homer of ref for this Saturday. That penalty decision is a complete joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to viewing the game this week at the Stadio de Stock cars. 10 ft high wire mesh fence , tractor tyre and ash surround, Sounds like a real delight. Are you able to inform us of any improvements at your esteemed arena in the last 5years? C’mon The Rose 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
