Always support Scottish teams in Europe. Doesn't make laughing at Utd any less fun mind you. Colak's goal. Pretty sure VAR would've given it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broughty Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 How depressing were the two today on Saints TV. Must have been the worst yet, talk about the Rev I Am Jolly. Rickie Fulton would have been proud. I know we hadn't much to be cheery about but at least sound enthusiastic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, looked to me like it went forward, but possibly its him dropping to get it. Doesn't really matter, as I said, well deserved win. Rangers will smash teams most weeks this season. They have recruited very very well this summer. Edited August 13, 2022 by Theyellowbox 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 The balls got to be played forward for it to be offside, so that looks onside. No it doesn't. The direction of the ball is irrelevant. It's a really tight decision though, hard to tell if the player being tackled is playing him on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsjfc Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 That second goal is an example of why VAR doesn't solve all your issues. It's very difficult to say conclusively if the ball goes forward there (I think its close enough to square to say no) but I don't think its overturned either way. Agree about saints tv today, seemed incredibly downbeat. I'm happy enough that for 60 minutes we approached in the right manner and at least looked to play when the opportunity arose. There still issues - neither striker providing an outball or a threat, both full backs being suspect defensively, Considines lack of mobility - but it was better. At least the ideas and mentality were right even if the quality always wasn't. Concerns around that last half hour. Squad depth is shocking and made baffling subs again. Feel that Crawford is just coming on to try and justify his signing at this point. Brown for Montgomery had to be made, but why is MoH coming on at wb. Either change the shape or stick him as one of the three. And the reaction to going 2-0 was really poor;threw the towel in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Largely agree with most of points from @nelsjfc above. For an hour it was alright. We looked pretty organised, defended our box well, didn't let them get in behind us and were quick to close down on the edge of the area. One occasion where they dozed off and were punished and then another error from Drey Wright for the second. Huge squad though and no depth, again the changes left me wondering what we were actually trying to do? Just what is a front three of Crawford, May and Carey going to do? Was just demoralising when the opportunity was there to give Kucheriavyi and Ballantyne a taste of it. Mitchell good again, will be playing for Millwall again after the winter window shuts I reckon. Murphy has had a decent start to his Saints career and Phillips looks comfortable on the ball, but then I thought Jacob Butterfield looked alright on his Ibrox debut... Given the size of the squad, there is a decent group in there but Callum Davidson isn't the man to lead them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the ball is moving, backwards,away from the goal & the person playing the ball is ahead of the person receiving then yes the direction of the ball is relevant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 The direction of the ball doesn’t matter, only the positions of the players. I’m like 80% sure it’s offside. Very funny IMO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree wholeheartedly about the young lads. Give them a game when we’re 3/4 down at Ibrox. Crawford is a waste of time at the best of times. Philips looked promising too. Strong, wanted the ball and generally managed to get turned and move it on. I’d like to see him start next week, but I wonder how we accommodate him, MacPherson and Hallberg at the same time? 3-5-2 with a front pair of who exactly? A striker this week is critical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonksy+HisChristianParade Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 The dithering in the box was by far the most annoying part of that goal tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
