JennytheJambo Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Just watched the Killie v Rangers game, Alan Muir the same referee who booked Olly Lee for diving on Wednesday night failed to do the same against Jermaine Defoe. Referees as we all know are being crucified at the moment and deservedly so but is it coming more and more obvious that it is one rule for the Old Firm and one for the other though it has never changed in years.

Wee Mikey Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Defoe's dive was almost balletic. Perhaps the ref was suitably impressed with his pirouette. ? Edited February 9, 2019 by Wee Mikey Punctuation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 That defoe dive really annoyed me. They have 50, 60 times the resources of Killie and an EPL 'Superstar' still feels the need to cheat. Defoe seems like a classy guy off the field, its a shame he's feeling the need to set out to try and cheat everyone rather than letting his obvious ability do the talking. Fully expect more diving from him when we eventually have to play the *****. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 The worst decision of the day was Willie Collum showing just a yellow card to Paul McGinn for a forearm smash in the St Mirren v Dundee Utd game. However, at least he did give a red card for the assault of the day by Callum Butcher on Ryan Flynn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETTY29 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Haven't seen the incident and whether ball left penalty area (indirect free kick) or didn't (retake). If the ball had ended up in the net, with no touches apart from initial kick, then corner. I think, from reading the laws. http://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-16---the-goal-kick Edited February 10, 2019 by DETTY29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copa-mundial Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Thing on this is. How many of us seen Defoe week in and week out for either Tottenham, Portsmouth, Sunderland. Not once did you ever see him take a dive in the EPL. Now he's up here playing for Sevco, in his 3rd or 4th appearance. he's found the Sevco way. Pathetic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Merse Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 They seemed to be going through most of the decisions with a fine tooth comb last night but didn’t revisit the Defoe dive. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkierobroy Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 On Sportscene they analysed in some depth several incidents, nodding through the penalty (which was fair enough) and a couple of others where Sevco might have been deemed to have been hard done by. But not the one where the Sevco defender cuddled the ball with both hands in the penalty area and the ref gave nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't realised it happened again yesterday. On reflection, there is nothing to stop the keeper taking a second touch in the box and getting a re-take. Assuming in this case the ball did leave the area but not touch the ground, leaves an argument that he can take a 2nd touch. I'm a qualified ref, I honestly don't know.

It wasn't from a goal kick. It was a pass back that he sliced and sclaffed about 30 feet in the air and took a few steps to catch so as not to risk an attacker intercepting.

Christ, McKenna got sent off for less on Wednesday night I think the Killie one is a yellow, high boot but was going for ball, and not leading with studs the way Butcher did for his sending off. As a PS, Flynn'sboot was also v.high in the tackle but again leading with top of foot, not studs. Initially I thought McKenna was hard done by until I saw the little secondary kick out after he cleared the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
