Mr Rabbit Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 He’s up in the air before he’s touched but in real time it would be very difficult to see it was a dive so don’t blame Collum. We got caught out after defending really well and gave them an opportunity to do that unfortunately. Still gutted that we gifted them two goals in a game that we stopped their best players from playing and were in control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armageddon Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 His right leg takes a massive and unnatural diversion towards Bobby - no penalty, he makes contact with the keeper as opposed to being brought down. Doesn't help that Berra also tramples on Bobbys left leg ?♂️??♂️??♂️? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumpson Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Soft one but Bobby gave him the option. We'd be fuming if we didn't get that at the other end of the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightyJambo Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Having watched the footage, there is doubt the player throws himself to the ground but Bobby putting himself in that position unfortunately gave the ref a decision to make. With Collum, that decision was always going to end up being a celtic penalty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I furthermore submit that VAR is also decided by the same refs you condemn. Ergo, I conclude the penalty would still stand. And I still say it was a pen. Had the teams been reversed and we hadn't been given it, the seethe would have been off the scale. One glaring mistake is hardly an argument to allow other glaring mistakes. Oh, and by the way in saying it was a penalty you must in the same breath be calling Zlamal a liar given he said he didn’t touch him.

Jambo66 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) Seems to me reading this thread that the consensus is that it wasn't a penalty, but we can see why any referee would give it. What is without a shadow of doubt us that the SFA continues to live in the dark ages by not having VAR. It is an embarrassment and I am ashamed of the body that is in charge of our game. The SFA needs to be disbanded and a new governing body put in place. When that happens, it is essential that no ex-footballers or ex-referees have any positions of authority, since none of them appears to have the remotest understanding of the rules and, in this country at least, they cannot see past the glory of the 2 arsecheeks.

maroonlegions Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Players up here running at pace into the penalty box and running into keepers or defenders and then insinuating contact and going down again at pace is the norm now.

wanderer Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I liked Zlamal at the start of the season but he has become a total liability.

Correct, in days gone by Edouard would have jumped over Bobby's leg, tried to control the ball and turn it into the net but that doesn't happen anymore, sticking a leg out like that is now an invitation to fall over it and if you do it well enough you get a penalty.

In this day and age and without Var if the keeper comes rushing out you see these ones being given edouard played for it and went down like a ton of bricks but Bobby should have stayed in his line.

avhudtheteeshirt Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 When watching it yesterday, you could see that the players both legs were over Bobbie's leg before he stuck out his leg to make contact with Bobbie!!! It was as clear a sign of diving as we've seen, and Collum was to far from the action to really see what happened. My worry is what the goal line official should in my mind always be at opposite side from the lineman, to cover such things and more of the pitch???

DETTY29 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) Unfortunately the vast majority of the time the refs give a penalty, why VAR is so important - we'd still feck it up though. Now I've seen this angle it's clear stimulation. Means eff all but Edourda really should be cited and correctly banned for cheating. But this is Scottish football so no more will be done about it.

DETTY29 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) Come on guys, stop playing pedants to make a case that you are both right. The correct answer of course is that football is not about contact but whether or not there has been an infringement. And there can be an infringement with no contact. Under VAR, unlikely a penalty given, without it, yes unfortunately, notably when to benefit the bigger team. Zlamal was extremely poor in both his initial hesitation and the decision to go to ground.

SectionDJambo Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Our goalie should have stayed on his feet. They all are well aware of what forwards will do when a keeper goes down near them. Vardy was eventually punished for getting penalties like this. The Celtic man is clearly going down early and placing his foot on Zlamal. It’s very hard for the referee to see that contact hasn’t been made, before this. That’s 2 penalty kicks that Celtic have enjoyed against us, in big cup ties, this season. Both could have been avoided by the Hearts players just standing their ground, instead of making the going down easy for the Celtic man. I don’t know how many soft penalties I’ve seen the Glasgow 2 get, against us, over many years, so it’s no surprise anymore. It was actually worse years ago, before the extensive tv coverage. It is disappointing that our players aren’t wise enough to prevent them benefiting from this type of sleekit play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon Sailor Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 It's also disappointing the officials are not wise as well. No surprise though, it's easier to give Celtic a penalty than not especially in a final. As soon as he went down I knew Collum would give it. Seen these situations time and time again and refs buy it all the time although it doesn't take much for Collum to give Celtic penalties.

Cheat simple as. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
