Dunfermline v Falkirk

That's not how reality works. Even if you were awarded all of these phantom penalties there is no guarantee they all would have been scored. Even if they had all been scored, there is absolutely no way you can know how the games would have finished as they would have been played totally differently after a goal. Falkirk might have went on to pump a team or that team may have rallied and went on to win.

Of course, but there are some where wins were all but certainties had they been awarded, I'll use our Alloa 1-1 draw as an example. 1-0 up and then a clear foul in the box on one of our players, had it been given and put away the games over, this didnt happen and alloa got a 94th minute goal to draw. Sometimes you can be sure. Obviously the penalty couldve been missed but this is going off the basis that most pens are goals.

Have to say I don't remember the penalty claim you refer to, but the free-kick decision which led to your goal was extremely dubious. Falkirk didn't deserve to win that match and their failure to do so wasn't down to the ref. 

Similarly there was a great debate about a tackle in the box in the cup game that Falkirk fans were convinced was a penalty, indeed there were numerous tweets about this showing how bad Scottish refs are. It did indeed look like a stonewaller from the highlights but with a clear view from behind the goal it was obvious that it was actually a fantastic tackle and great call by the ref. Although it did turn out he missed some jersey pulling in the box at the other end. That didn't cost us the game though, we just didn't take our chances while Falkirk did. Easier to blame the ref I suppose.

Can you please just let me blame the refs for my team being shit in peace please.

I think just looking at the stat of us only just getting our first league pen is a good starting point, refs have missed 8 or 9 stonewallers. penalties that could've changed results. I dont think this has any bearing on how I'm taking Tuesday's result. Better team won and the better team will go on to win the league, however I do feel that in a few cases, we've been done out of points and I'm perfectly entitled to think that with a better standard of refereeing we'd have more points.

You could argue that with a better standard of player we would have more points..

Probably the best view of the first goal you'll get (when played in x0.5 or lower), and it looks to be first grabbed with 90% of the ball over the line before momentum carries the whole ball across:

Deal in facts, and that means that the likleyhood is you'll accept what's happened and move on. Falkirk are a half decent outfit, but just not on the Pars level for now. Much as I have a go, I'd rather see you mutants up with us next year so we can pump you further. The games against Falkirk are much more appealing than the derbies with our reeking Fife brethren.
