So Abada moving back towards his own goal makes an arse of himself swiping at the ball, misses it, then makes contact with Bates? Why wouldn't that be a penalty? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His feet are together, he had pulled out the tackle and bates kicked him to win the pen, seen it done tons of times, a clever way of winning a penalty but cheating 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 It's 'clever' from Bates, but I wouldn't have been happy if that had been given at the other end, to be fair. It is a genuinely difficult one for the referee to catch in real time, I think; but, being as objective as possible, I don't think it was a penalty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, I’ve no problem with it being given, it’s part of the game now, bates was clever and we’ve won plenty in similar circumstances but it is what it is and is plain as day IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wouldn't that be a penalty? Because Bates makes contact with Abada not the other way round. Its clever from Bates but he bought a penalty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a bit of a shocker from the ref as when I saw it in real time (albeit on highlights after I knew it was a penalty) it looked fairly obvious Bates had bought it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Just watching the highlights. 2 observations. Jack Gurr looks like a kid who won a contest to get a game. Celtic have a hollow centre circle and hollow penalty spots, the disco lighted deviants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwork Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Plenty of fannying about from both sides yesterday, but Kyojo one of the worst. Perhaps he’s still getting used to the game up here, but hopefully he’ll soon realise that he’s much more dangerous on his feet as a player than writhing about on the floor holding his face at every opportunity. As for big Joe Hart (6ft 5ins), what was all that about early doors? Sparked as though he’d been poleaxed with a railway sleeper from nothing more than a late shove in the back! Pretty sure what the likes of Bertie Auld would have thought of today’s player, with their ‘strength and conditioning’ Coaches![emoji849]. Worst part of the modern game in general for me, hate seeing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJF Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) I’m always of the opinion that for it to be a foul then the contact should be enough to bring down or stop a player from getting to the ball. That was neither, imo, but still a definite penalty. Edited November 29, 2021 by AJF 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Brees Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 After over 600 games for Celtic, Scott brown finally gets to see what it feels like for his side to win a dodgy penalty at Celtic Park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Why is anyone trying to say that's not a penalty? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
