Jambos1983 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 He was quite right too. He wanted a contested drop ball as stevo was saying and the caley boy walked off. They were quite happy playing on with our man on the deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Bishop Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 I was away for a pish and missed it. What happened? The ref stopped play after Temps was floored with a forearm in the box, We had possesion and so the right thing to do would have been for Caley to give us the ball back they were clearly expecting us to give it back to them though. Stevenson was having none of it and dribbled away with the ball he played Templeton in and he made an erse of his finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Stevenson did the right thing I think. Templeton was down in the box, Inverness carried on and I think it was Stevenson himself who ended up kicking the ball out of play, meaning we had no right to give the ball back to them.

jambos are go! Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 it was poor patter as they say and probably why be was subbed. In any case why did he wait to pass the ball instead of running in on goal himself. If it had been a goal all Hell would have let loose IMO.

Zico Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 The ref told him to play on and the farmers weren't paying attention - usually if it's a genuine stop ball, the ref will say to give it back.

H2 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Hearts had possession when the whistle blew. Stevenson indicated that it should be a competitive drop ball, the ICT player was at it by standing back. In my view this drop ball thing is stupid, all drop balls should be competitive, the team in possession 90% of the time are disadvantaged by the drop ball situation, in attacj and the ball ends up back with the goalkeeper. Stevenson did the right thing, The ICT player was playing gamesmanship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 The St Johnstone player had the ball with Templeton behind him so no opportunity to see if Temps was actually seriously injured. Ref blows whistle to check if Templeton okay. Hearts player then knocked the ball into touch. That's how I remember it anyway. So drop ball was right and Stevenson for me acting outwith the spirit of the game by taking the ball on at the drop ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkmmgcycbwc Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I understand players' anger / frustration at ref and you could see Stevenson alerting ref and ICT player to the fact that he was going to play on but still in terms of modern football conventions he was out of order, in my opinion.

DETTY29 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Let's not be 2 faced about this, we would be raging if the opposite happened. Unless we got a message out to ICT before the game that we would contest every drop ball, then Stevenson should have played the ball back. It's now an unwritten rule among thieves not to contest a drop ball. I would however, go back to every drop ball being contested and the ball only being kicked out of play if it's a serious injury - although I'm aware it was the ref that stopped the game yesterday. But the biggest problem is players cheating each other by feigning injury. Something you never hear mega mouths like Taylor, Wishart and the big wigs in the game ever discussing.

Thunderstruck Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 If Caley were imbued with the Corinthian spirit, they would have put the ball out for a throw-in when the saw the injury. Fact is, they didn't and, arguably, tried to take advantage. If a team puts the ball out to allow treatment, return it to them. If Ref stops it, contest the drop ball.

CMc Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 ICT didn't play it out. If they had done so then we should have given the ball back. The ref watched Templeton get hit in the head and not only chose not to give a penalty, but chose to ignore the headknock until Calley were breaking with the ball. It seemed that it was only when we won possession that he was willing to consider checking if Temps was OK. Both the ref and Calley didn't care enough about fairplay to stop and see if Temps was hurt. Stevo had every right to play the ball and try to make up for the penalty we should have been awarded.

Groot Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 If we had possession of the ball at the time the ref stopped play why in hell would we give Inverness the ball just because one of their players cabbaged one of ours Get real, anybody who would give the ball to them in that situation will live and die a loser Well done Stevo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Brown Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 It is up to the referee and him alone whether to stop play or not. This Thomson did, what Stevo did next was not good, I would like to assume he told the ref he was not giving it back, but I doubt it. Over the years a lot of players have needlesly stopped play basically to gain advantage when under pressure. Teams have been told to stop this. So, it was not an option for Caley to put it out. I called Temps a play actor in another thread yesterday, hopefully highlights will show me wrong. But I am fed up of footballers hitting the deck and staying down. I don't think there was any need for the ref to stop play as Temps got up without treatment. Possibly if the ref stops play, the player should leave the park.
