HIbs vs St Mirren


Recommended Posts

From the footage I saw, it looks like he pulls his left arm in to his body and turned away from the ball, the ball hit the top of his left arm. To give a penalty for that seems harsh to say the least. There was no movement towards the ball and the arm wasn't in an unnatural position.

If it his his right hand, which was outstretched them it's totally a penalty, unfortunate as that is, but as I say, the video replays I've seen show it hitting on the left.

Can’t complain so far, Hibs have been far the better team. I’d want a penalty for that if it was me.

The depressing thing is that the officials have both failed to spot two major decisions, the offside goal and the penalty and are just relying on VAR.

I reckon the penalty is one that is given more often than not but Tait is unlucky, the ball is hit from a few yards and he's trying to turn his back. 

It's been a decent game, Hibs probably just shaded it but both teams have had chances. Hibs offside goal looked very tight.

Yeah, they have. It's obviously part of Robinson's game plan but if we allow Hibs so much space they will harm us.

Exactly what I have seen. If it hits the right arm it's definitely a penalty as its not dissimilar to Tanser against Motherwell at start of the season.

I'm 90 certain it doesn't touch the outstretched arm though and hits the back of his left arm which is tucked in to his body, with his back turned, from about 2 yards away.

Thats the way I saw it. Quite liking the 2 boys doing the commentary on SMTV although at times it sounds like listening to 2 guys in the row behind.
