I would've thought that going down without contact/with very minimal contact/with contact you've instigated would equal a dive, regardless of whether you go down with your arms in the air or not. Yeah sorry the protesting is a red herring. My main question is that play continued and the chance is still live so is it right to stop the game, could you not book him later? Presumably that is the rule to stop it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose if the referee deems him to have committed simulation then the game has to stop. It's no different to a player committing a foul I don't think, is it? If a Sons player had dived and Aberdeen had the ball then I'm guessing he could've played advantage and booked him afterwards. But if he believes it was a dive, allowed play to continue, Aberdeen scored (or even won a corner) and then cautioned the player for diving it would be a bit farcical. You're making me feel dirty sticking up for Colin Steven here. It's not something I'd usually do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not something I'd usually do To be fair I’m not even criticising him, it just occurred to me at the time and I genuinely didn’t know the rule. You’re probably right anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukDukGoose Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 There was two horrendous dives/falls from Dumbarton players pretty soon after that. Watching that again, I think his reputation has went against him. Looks like he's waiting for the contact, it doesn't come, sort of stumbles then plays on. If that's anyone of our other players then there's no booking and the game play on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resk Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 My view from the Main Stand was that Besuijen stumbled and fell on the ball which he then half-grabbed instinctively. IMHO it should have been a free kick to Dumbarton for the handball and no booking. I've seen him dive heaps of times and that didn't look like a dive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Good lads the Dons for showing up in such numbers. Might help us bin Farrell. Always had a soft spot for FifeSons’ birthplace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Good lads the Dons for showing up in such numbers. Might help us bin Farrell. Always had a soft spot for FifeSons’ birthplace. Are the gate receipts shared for each match in the sections?I wondered if maybe the teams all got the proceeds of their two home matches only at this stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 What a miss! If a defender managed to get the ball up and over the bar from where Dale Carrick just did, you'd be talking about it for months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Excellent finish from Connolly. You can see he's playing with a real confidence- cut in and didn't even contemplate any form of pass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betting competition Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Looking forward to Stirling Albion tonight, it is a ground that I've not been to so another one off the list. Hopefully Aberdeen play as well as they have done in the last two games although looking at Stirling result against Raith it may be a tough game. Be interesting to see how Hancock does as looked great against Brechin/Dumbarton and it was nice of the manager to give him a run against Dumbarton after Hancock admitted he was poor against Peterhead. With Arbroath signing him as a loan player but Aberdeen cancelling it once McKenzie got injured shows how well thought of he is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim said he's behind MacKenzie technically and physically but deserves a chance to show what he can do. Basically confirmed that Scales, Stewart and Hancock will all play this evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a quiet start for us last season, but once he settled showed himself a class above L2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
