Savage Henry Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 All I’ll say is they don’t seem to be conceding comedy goals like Dundee United. But I’m struggling to see them avoiding the playoffs. Which they’d skoosh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR would review the challenge as a potential red card unless the offside had already been awarded The BBC live text says offside as well. Didn't help that Sportscene showed the worst possible camera angles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wrong Car Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I understand the match commentator not realising it’s a offside call in real time, but for Thompson, McCann and Foster to have an entire section on it for Sportcene is just lazy. On the game, I thought we started poor and only grew into the game when 2 nil up. Glad to see we started the second half well, the subs really helped. Ross County looked decent but lacked quality in the final third - I’m presuming it would have been a different game if Dhanda played 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 For all of people praising Randall's defensive reliability he's far, far too easily done in physical match ups. Big Marcus Fraser in 17/18 vibes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoobahabba Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Weird game yesterday. I don’t feel we played particularly well but, overall, did just about enough to win it. Much more solid at the back, minus this stupid high line crap. As others have pointed out, it has been our undoing on more than one occasion of late. Were it not for Devlin’s screamer, it would have cost us more points. Got to give credit to Devlin for a much improved performance. You could see what it meant to him. I also like De Lucas a lot. Him and Boyes play it out well from the back. No rush to bring Fitzwater back, as far as I’m concerned. Nouble, as usual, was a machine. County were the better team until we scored. Then they looked a bit shell-shocked. Minus the goal and Brophy’s chance, they didn’t really threaten all that much. I hope they can stay up. A good club with sound fans and a brilliant away day. Can’t say that about many of the other relegation contenders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because they don't watch any of the match before the show when its diddy teams so they can't do any sort of analysis - tactics, individual player performance, etc. Instead they just pick out a potentially "controversial" refereeing decision, in this case going so far as to fabricate one, and fill the two minutes with pointless waffle on that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How Shamal George went unpunished for scything down Brophy in the first half, and then gets the free kick, is beyond me. It was offside, that's why there's no card and why a free kick is given 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so it came to pass. Begs the question, if it was such an obvious mismatch how was it allowed to happen? Straight up lack of personnel perhaps. You wouldn't drive your car knowing your front right wheel nuts are loose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt like Nouble had an off day yesterday. He seemed fairly clamped at times and just managed to get his goal by being in the right spot. Over the course of the game he wasn't his usual self and didn't get on the ball to run at players. Generally I'd say he was handled pretty plentifully. Usually he'd have a far bigger impact on games than that yesterday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still did well getting us a goal and getting us fouls late on when we needed him as an out ball seeing out our win. Think Bruce and Nouble make a good partnership, but without Bruce doing the leg work running around pressing the ball it doesn't work as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has done really well so far anyway, and merits a starting place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get penalties, goals, or even fouls after an offside is given so seems weird giving a red card when play shouldn't be continuing anyway. Stupid rule anyway this delaying sticking the flag up for offside, it's just inviting players being injured, having to carry on not knowing if it will eventually be given or not.u 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember which penalty it was, but between the penalty incident and play stopping for a VAR review, a Livi player was booked. The booking stood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything the red would've been for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity but even then I'm not sure it was that either as County did nothing with the ball when it rolls loose. At the game no one claimed for it, I saw nothing in it at the time. Even at that we were due a dodgy decision, we've had plenty go against us this season. At least 6 this season, so getting one our way is only fair. We were told at the time these things even themselves out so maybe we're finally actually getting something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
