I'm still convinced the ref was shown the poxy VAR footage shown on Sky Sports highlights and if he was then he was essentially shown fake footage which seems there was no contact; the frames showing the moment of contact were dropped / skipped

 

I saw the angle behind the ball, as the Sky Sports team reviewed, with that ex-referee and it DOES show the contact

 

Ref was behind the ball too, so how could he judge if there was contact?

Would Boyce have had to headbut cases boot for it to be contact. Caseys boot was high whether contact or not

Eh? There was definitely contact and enough (if there's even a threshold) for a penalty

 

It was undoubtedly a penalty

Going to play Devil’s Advocate a wee bit. The Boyce penalty is a disgraceful decision but I don’t think he was saying Casey played the ball, rather I think he was just asking for the ball to get game restarted. It was the wrong signage to use at that time and had massive potential to cause confusion.

As for the 2nd, he’s given a foul against Boyce before Shankland is fouled. He’s simply made an arse of it and the ball is technically dead when Shankland is fouled. Clancy probably told him this so he’s had to go with his original (wrong) on field decision. Similar to the one Walsh got wrong when Ralston scored against Hearts in the very first VAR game. 
Doesn’t matter if the decision is wrong if the referee has stopped the game by blowing his whistle. You can’t even go back and say it was a mistake. That’s why the directive is to let play continue and if there’s a clear error (ie Boyce has committed a foul) then you CAN go back. 

Agree in the first. The second id need to see again but I thought the whistle was quite late (and well after Boyce’s non-foul on Spittal).

I’ve posted a clip on page 10 and couldn’t believe how wrong I was. The whistle was a long time coming and looked like Munro was in the “anything but a penalty” frame of mind.

Watching the live feed the referees first image was a still of the contact to Boyces chest. 
Totally inexplicable why he did not give it.

"Dundee have voiced "serious concerns" to the Scottish FA over play not being stopped immediately following Michael Mellon's head injury during Sunday's Premiership match against St Johnstone.

 

Dundee manager Tony Docherty described the injury suffered by striker Mellon at Dens Park, which left the player unconscious, as "almost life-endangering".

 

Mellon required treatment following a clash of heads with St Johnstone captain Liam Gordon, with referee David Munro failing to stop play immediately.

 

The game was eventually stopped after Dundee's club doctor Derek McCormack ran onto the pitch, with a lengthy delay while the player received treatment."

Yes, a quite astonishing level of incompetence. He clearly represents a danger to the safety of the players in games he officiates and should be removed from the referee list immediately.

[DS98]

I heard Kettlewell on the radio talking about this incident and a few others. I wouldn’t say we have a unique problem in this country with ignorance to head injuries but this one was poor. 
 

There really needs to be a zero tolerance throughout the game by where if it happens the game gets stopped and physios on no questions asked. Sadly however we’ve already seen clubs/players who will take advantage of this. Hibs and Porteous being the worst of the worst. Every single week he would go down clutching his head to get the game stopped then jump straight back to his feet. It’s probably folk like him that put doubt in the refs mind. 
 

They do need to bring in a rule that the game gets stopped immediately but with the caveat that the injured player goes off for a minimum 5 mins assessment. If the player got injured as a result of a bad challenge then a concussion sub can be used.

Agree with that. 

 

I have some level of sympathy because referees have to contend with so much "gamesmanship" (read cheating) from players, that it can sometimes be hard to tell what is/isn't legitimate injury. 

 

Although, I was under the impression that the rules had changed to that the game should only be stopped if there is a head injury - did we not get stung by the GFA making it up as they go along against Celtic, think we were on the attack and a Celtic player went down holding their leg and Madden stopped it, which wasn't following the rule change to being headknocks only. 

 

I think making the player leave the field of play for a 5 minute assessment is the best way to ensure there is honesty around headknocks. Although, some players may try and ignore it and play on, so could very well have the opposite effect. 

 

What Porteous did every single week was disgraceful though. Especially with how serious head knocks are supposed to be taken. I wish refs could be trusted with a bit of discrection to deal with suspected bad actors by making them leave the field of play for 5/10 minutes whilst they are thoroughly checked over.

I’m sure the terminology is any ‘serious injury’. So head knocks, heart/respiratory problems, broken bones etc. But that night against Celtic was a disgrace. It was Jota iirc who tweaked his hamstring when we were on a 3v1. An actual laughably bad decision that Madden nor the GFA had to answer for.

I think you're probably right. 

 

He's been at the centre of enough controversies this season to reasonably put his position as a top flight ref under threat, but because the Referees association is so ****ing bent and weegie centric, nothing has happened or will willingly happen. Hope Dundee nail him for this.

Correct, there must have been a space open up and ref's from outside Glasgow close to being given a chance, only explanation for this clown to have been promoted to the level he has is to keep the east and north out

And gave celtic a free kick from which they went up the pitch and almost scored.

 

You're right to highlight Porteous though. What he did was disgraceful and should have bee ndealt with ages ago for this very reason. I noticed again at the weekend he went down - and stayed down - after unsuccesfully chasing a Leicester striker when they scored.

52 minutes, 15 seconds in

 

The incident happens bang on the halfway line, with the referee running right past the two players in a heap on the floor to allow a Dundee player to go on a 1 attacker vs 3 defender break. 

 

It takes the referee a full 13 seconds to blow his whistle, and even then, he seems to be blowing it in response to something else. 

 

He needs dragged over the coals for this, and sacked as a "professional" referee. The SFA need to show some balls for a change.  

 

I hope the player makes a full recovery, and then takes the SFA to court for negligence.

David Munro at it again. Patrick v Dunfermline on BBC Scotland. Patrick equalise with Graham turning in a deflected shot from 6 yards. Linesman doesn't flag. Goal is given. Replays show that is correct decision. Dunfermline players claim loudly for offside. Ref decides to go and talk to linesman and somehow they decide between them it was offside after all.

 

For total incompetence there can't be a worse ref in the country. Get him to Sunday league.

Linesman keeps his flag down and starts running to half way line because looking along the line he can see he was onside. Why did Munro feel the need to go and speak to him? He couldn't see from where he was standing. Shocking decision that needs to be questioned. Needs demoted!!

possible explanation (alluded to by Leanne Chrichton). Assistant keeps his flag down because  he doesn’t realize Graham has turned the ball in and considers him to be in an offside position but not interfering with play (mistaken twice over of course). Once the officials confer and the Ref makes it clear that Graham did supply the final touch it becomes off-side (still wrong of course)
