been here before Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I know it all about 'sportsmanship, fair play' and the like these days but I was thinking yesterday during one of the numerous drop balls punted back to the opponents goalie that I miss the days where you'd have two players kicking **** out each other for 5 seconds to get the ball. Im pretty sure there was one in the game last week v Dundee but other than that I cant think of the last one I saw. Modern fitba' eh?

Not a pen had to be a corner I thought that too as the ref didn't whistle before the ball was over the goal line, so the restart had to be a penalty or a corner.

The White Cockade Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 was a weird one yesterday when Olly Lee had the ball in acres off space and ref blew as there was an injury there was some confusion when Swanson wanted to compete for drop ball but in the end we kicked the ball back to Saints didn't get that at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the referee has reached a final decision, the match must be restarted as follows: • if a decision is not changed, play restarts according to the original decision • if a decision is changed or a ‘missed’ offence is identified, play restarts with the correct restart for the ‘new’ decision. • if play was stopped for a review and the original decision is not overturned, play restarts with a dropped ball where the ball was when play was stopped 6.4 Restarting play after a review All match officials should remain aware (and ready to advise the referee) of what and where the restart should be, especially if the referee stops play for a review.

He was likely about to launch it up or out anyway. But we still should have received the ball back. It was two of their players on the deck. I think what happened was Swanson said he would challenge for it and we have just decided that we'd rather give them the ball back at their own box instead of give them a 50/50 chance of having it not far from our box. Poor sportsmanship from them but ultimately nothing anyone, including the ref, can do about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirky Jambo Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Swanson went over but I thought it was that absolute welt Davidson that instigated it. He is a horrible player, likes dishing it out but throws himself to the ground at the slightest touch to try to get others booked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats exactly how they should still be contested. I agree. What is sporting about the ref stopping the game due to a head knock after a corner (50%+ of time play acting by supposed injured player) & attacking team has the ball circa 25 yards from goal. When the play resumes, the defending team launch the ball back to the goalie & folk clap for returning the ball 75 yards further up the park. It's paramount to cheating & I certainly do not join in with the applause. It would be sporting if the defending team did not compete against the drop ball 25 yards from their goal, but in reality this is never going to happen, so let's get back to a proper "drop ball". Oh & as a follow up, when are officials going to address throw ins taken 10+yards from the correct position? Only consolation in this scenario, every team are at it!!

Smack Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Remember the one against Fenerbache when Csaba was in charge of them. We contested it and they lost their shit. Think this might have directly led to Robbo giving him a boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDSK Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 From what I saw Swanson wanted to give it back to Doyle but the Craig Thomson and a number of our players thought he would use the uncontested drop ball as a chance to tap the ball into the net. Thomson then appeared to take the ball into the corner to limit the possibility of this happening. Then Naismith said we would just give the ball back to their keeper. Strange situation. His reputation as a horrible hibs Ned preceding him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
