It may just have been the latter but how can the ref not see a foul? The white boot against the white shirt makes it such a difficult decision. It is in the box, the contact is in the box.

Correct, and a red card for serious dangerous play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Idle Talk Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Seen a Celtic fan on Facebook criticising the fact that Hearts didn't sell out the full stand at Motherwell yesterday. Not gonna lie, I'm fairly easily triggered when OF fans slag my team. Honest question. If Celtic hadn't won the league for 63 YEARS and were sitting mid table, would they sell out that stand at Motherwell? WOULD THEY ****. I really hate these bar stewards. They are so arrogant and lacking in self awareness it is frightening. If they walked a couple of seasons in our shoes their fans would disappear like snow off a dyke!

Baxfee Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Sunday morning i player watch! Still think shankland should’ve had a penalty. Also, the tackle on Forrest - could easily have a red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooks Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I think the whole team deserve a lot of credit for that . Should have been a bigger margin too as decisions went against us . Motherwell are shite as well . Team full of cloggers Well done Naismith and the team . Good away win at a ground we do not have a great history at as best I can remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boof Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 According to Clive Lindsay of the BBC our first goal shouldn't have stood. "Shankland made the difference, however, when he showed his predatory skills with a little flick to divert a Jorge Grant header into the far corner." Naughty Jorge sneaking on to head the ball back across goal. Should be a yellow for entering the pitch without the referee's permission. And that's not the only curious thing about that roaster's match report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section s heart Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Just watched highlights. They had a free kick deep in injury time, and our high line was about the edge of the box. Good ball in and 4 Motherwell players came through our line, fortunately none made contact. Bugbear of mine, we have to be sharper and more aggressive defending these balls.

I'd say we've been a bit better at defending those this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked bad during the game, and look bizarre and bad on the highlights. Why didn't VAR call the ref over to look at the Shankland one, I wonder?

maroonsgotop Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) The one on Boyce looks a penalty all the way. I think the Shankland one was given as a foul by Boyce before the ball reached him Edited November 12, 2023 by maroonsgotop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shankland one is just an obvious pk, it was a pk in real time as well. Not a difficult decision. No idea how VAR on the review also decided it was OK.

muldoon74 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Just watched MOTD2. Brighton v Sheffield United.. 2 decisions... First a handball (not given).. ball travels (according to Shearer) a good 6-8 yards, the players elbow is up, not tucked in & hits off the elbow... VAR says no penalty. OK penalty yesterday was a penalty according to letter of the law... But not for Brighton in this case where intent could be interpreted.. Second, a foul in centre circle, rightly given given and a straight red.. yet in our game Boyce takes a very high boot in the chest (force, level of contact nothing to do with it, his boots too high and dangerous). Nothing... Aren't officials trained to the same level of standards?.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armageddon Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I'm amazed we've not been treated to the Hearts/Hibs/Rangers/Celtic post-match photo of the damaged Motherwell seats. There were damaged seats, 100% down to them being unbelievably unsafe and not fit for purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
