Nookie Bear Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 The discussion after the first penalty was embarrassing. Said it was a shocking decision, then said it was the new rules, but still blamed Madden for following the new rules.

I hate the new handball laws but I did feel the defenders arm moved towards the ball instinctively. We should have had 3 pens tbh The rules are starting to get overdone. Football was intended to be a simple game in play and rules. The reaction to it being given from Stewart and Craigan was hugely embarrassing. Might not be surprising being a Hearts fan, but I thought it was a pen from the second it hit his hand/arm. Yes, it might seem accidental but it was an attacking movement towards the goal when the ball was flicked up cleverly and the touch prevented it carrying on. There are subtleties in the interpretation as this scenario may not lead to a pen if it was out wide in the box.The the ref may let it go.

ialwaysspeakthetruth Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Michael Stewart was as much an embarrassment as a commentator as he was as a footballer I recall watching him play for Hearts against Dunfermline and the Pars fans were openly laughing at how awful he was. It was cringeworthy. As a commentator his unprofessional behaviour merits disciplinary action from BT. He truly is a sad and quite pathetic indiividual. Chris Sutton must love it when Hearts games come up because he knows he can make Stewart look like the small man that he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 They played an interview with CL prior to the game. Afterwards Craigan stated that he felt CL had lost his passion for the game as he felt he was downbeat in the interview. Even McCoist turned round and said that CL had a heart attack and didn’t expect him to be ranting and raving. As for Stewart, regardless of what he says, he’s an arsewipe. An Andy Walker moment for him at Tynecastle would amuse me no end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new rule, in effect, allows a penalty to be awarded even if the ball is hammered at your hand from a foot and you can do nothing about it BUT if it in a position where it has made your body bigger to block it i.e. if it is sticking out, like last night, it is a penalty. Intentionally moving it to block it doesn’t come into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have had 3 pens tbh Yip, For me, the distance isn't enough under the old rules to be a pk, under the new rules it is. Even under the old rules, if that was a striker charging down a defender and he ended up through on goal, it would be a free kick 100% of the time as he gained an advantage, in this case the defender stopped the ball going towards the goal. Under the old hand to ball rule tho, given the distance I don't think it would be given "most" of the time. The way he and Craigan went on about it was embarrassing tho. Walkers was a clear push, Mulrenys clear as day. Craigan saying the push wasn't enough either was hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Ian Malcolm Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Craigan is a simpleton. Actually said on air that he hoped Hearts lost. I get he's a Motherwell guy but ffs at least go through the motions of impartiality seeing as your getting weighed in to co-commentate on both teams. His analysis tends to consistent of cliches anyway. Stewart is generally a decent pundit and has a brain in his head but the relentless agenda against Levein (which he's previously admitted but keeps trying to walk back) means that the valid points he does make lose credibility, especially when he refuses to go the other way when Hearts do well. It's tedious and I now zone out when gets on to Hearts. McCoist is a hard guy to dislike and is mostly pretty fair, bar the odd strange take.
