fat_tony Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 What's the stonewall penalty that has the Livi fans all riled up? The only one I remember was where Efford and the Livi player came together and the Livi boy went down in about 25 installments. Very much in the "seen them given" category but not what I'd call stonewall.I was expecting the equaliser to be ruled out for some infringement or other. Got to love a proper injury time stramash [emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrutinizer Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Livi had 2 winable games to get a top 6 finish and blew it,last game against St.Johnstone was their downfall, a terrible performance,which was the first nail in the coffin,which left a must win today,I have to say they were great for 70 minutes,played Motherwell of the park,then self destructed,Motherwell didn't even deserve a draw. The same old,wrong subs at the wrong time. Obileye is guilty of scuffing clearances to the opposition,and out for corners.He and Fizzywater just don't look strong and commanding at corners. Stryjek needs to take more command of his box at corners,instead of getting boxed in on the goal line. So all in all probably got what they deserved over the 2 games.A bottom six finish. Stryjek 5/10 Get of the goal line ffs Devlin 7/10 Fitzwater 5/10 Questionable strength at corners Obileye 5/10 Lacks concentration at times Penrice 5/10 Holt 6/10 To many passes going astray Pittman 3.5/10 Poor ball control,first touch poor Kelly 5.5/10 Sturdy enough Bailey 6.5/10 Great when on the ball, disappears to easily Nouble 9/10 Forrest 8/10 Shinnie done very little Boyes never noticed him Lewis done ok,not convinced overall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 The guy at the end of the game screaming at Martindale was out of order as well. Should never show his face around the stadium again, we're all pissed about it but he'd lost the plot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to love a proper injury time stramash Not sure who it was but Devlin was tripped towards the corner of the 6 yard box going to the byline, 100% a foul, was so close to it. Instead of going down straight away he tried to play on but had already lost his balance and couldn’t regain it, think if he goes down at the contact he gets it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat_tony Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Aye that would be the one. On the stream it looked like a clumsy "coming together" rather than a blatant foul to me but I'll take it!We got away with a mugging today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that would depend on if you’re a County fan or a Livi fan. There isn’t enough contact for your player to go down. But I’m sure you’d say there was. And I’ll continue to seethe over it, and you will have long forgotten it. Got to love confirmation bias. And in a weeks time I will have forgotten about the dubious nature of our one today. But irrespective of the nature of the penalty award, you score that, and you’re leaving Dingwall with the win. Commiserations on just missing out, and thanks for putting that penalty in the North Sea. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey socks Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 The substitutions ( why ? )totally changed our approach to the game. 2-0 up and Motherwell with no serious effort on target , Martindale goes into panic mode to defend what we had and the two wide men are taken off leaving us backs to the wall. Not the first time this has happened this season. At the end of the day it was a perm any two from six scenario as to who hit the top six and we came up short. Target is to makes sure we are no lower than 10th now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thruthenight Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Frustrating game. Were well on top for 70 minutes, but somehow fucked it. Theme of the season tbh. We seem to have dropped a lot of points at the death this season. Off the top of my head, we've done it against County, St Johnstone, Aberdeen and now Motherwell. We can moan about the penalty all we want (I'm also in the 'seen them given but not stonewall' camp), but the bottom line is we're not in the top 6 because we fucked it ourselves. 1 point from 12 in the final 4 games before the split put us here, not bed refereeing decisions. I know we've still got 5 games to go but the season is pretty much over here. It's been a decent season, after I thought we were getting relegated in December. Shame to come so close. Time to get some of the fringe players in who'll be here next season and see what they can do. Boyes should be starting every game from here on out IMO. Lewis, Forrest, Bailey and Soto can sit on the bench, time to look to the future. Also Sean Kelly was really good in the centre of the park o_0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I was convinced the pitch invasion was going to see minutes added on, but the goal must have been so close to the end. You never want to see a pitch invasion but surely a 93rd minute goal that means something significant is worth celebrating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD and associates Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Martindale just doesn’t have the bottle and those 2 centre halves aren’t good enough. At 90 mins I was thinking “surely Ross county can’t nick a place in Europe off of us”…now I’m just hoping we stay up. And I’m not massively confident. Sickening but not surprising, if we stay up I think next season will be very tough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same arrogant contempt for a smaller club which Motherwell fans correctly highlight among Rangers and Celtic fans. They can get away with it at Livi because we're diddy but being able to do something doesn't mean you should. These same big brave boys fall neatly into line when going to Pittodrie, Ibrox and elsewhere. It's just reinforcing the hierarchy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few seconds from top six is a great job imo. BTW stonewall penalty on Devlin. We moan players dive, if refs aren't giving fouls like that no wonder they do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
