Heaton Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Nah that's like saying no cross should ever come in or be met by an attacker. Bollocks. Defenders can be 6ft7 and well positioned but it doesn't mean they'll always clear a cross. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Can't argue with him from an Alloa point of view, but the 2nd was a cracking ball in and hard to defend against. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Second goal isn't in the same category as the first from a defensive point of view. It is, as you say, a cracking cross in open play and O'Hara meets it perfectly. A really good goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 That was a big win yesterday, Falkirk would've been looking at this fixture as one we'd hopefully lose points in. As it was I thought it was a v good performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 On first viewing it looked like Bene running away in celebration, then maybe Hamilton got it. Then heard Breen was given it? And Wighton is possibly getting credit?! Just give it to Tarachulski. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeodhasXD Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Breen's back - Hamilton's header - Wighton's hand Was told tonight that Wighton gestured that it hit his hand to his teammates by someone in the Alloa support over that side and certainly looked that way in the replay. Unfortunate because we were having a decent spell at that point of the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the match day stills it looks like it hit his arm, but the bit covered by his sleeve so no problem with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually if anything that confirms it's a handball. Not that any of our players claimed for it or any referee would spot it in open play but it's the armpit not the sleeve that makes it a handball. Bit too low for an armpit... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the wrong way round isn't it? It used to be the armpit but now it's some kind of vague theoretical armband type position. The ball hit a Bournemouth player on the upper arm in yesterday's game at the Emirates and the VAR didn't give a penalty even though it clearly hit the arm below the shoulder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure about the Bournemouth one as I didn't watch it but you can't score from a handball whether it's accidental or incidental or what. It should have been disallowed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should have been disallowed. If it's hitting him where his shirt sleeve is, then that diagram would incidicate it could easily be given even if a VAR was looking at it. If it hits his bare arm or elbow then it would have been chalked off. Handball law needs to be sorted out regardless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Above the T-shirt line is the guidance If heard all season. According to that picture the goal was right to stand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaton Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 SFA rules states a goal won't stand even if it hits the hand or arm accidentally. It's all irrelevant as it's not conclusive it even hits his arm/sleeve. It's a side on angle so it could go past it and not touch. Shit happens then you die 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
