I think if you are from an older generation this happened all the time and it was a yellow card but rules have changed and now its a yellow.

Fraggle Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Strange! When it's non OF teams on the receiving end of these types of penalty decision, its always decried from all angles, that these things even themselves out over the course of the season. Well suck it up butter cups! Thought the punditry was typical howling GBC. Zero mention about the ball hitting not one, but two different Celtic arms. Also, did Brenda pre script his media responses, as they were near enough, word for word, the same between Sky and BBC. He better get hit with a disrepute charge!

Macros Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 1 hour ago, Gundermann said: McCann calling out the Yang/ Cochrane challenge correctly. Looked a foul by Yang. Also, for our pen, the two Celtic defenders are spinning like helicopters. Looks like it hits two Celtic hands. I can't be bothered checking the names of their players, the guy charging in doesn't head the ball, it comes of his arm onto the arm of the second Celtic player. The media and Celtic are bleating on about the second handball without looking at, or deliberately ignoring, the first, it's a penalty. Their penalty is so soft it's ridiculous.

From what I've seen and heard of all the coverage today I keep having to check that we did in fact win the game, because that seems to be a complete side-story. I've just watched the highlights, having been at the game. How Wilson can describe the red card as an 'outrageous decision' is laughable. It's a red card every day of the week - it's highly reckless. The Celtic penalty is also every bit as soft as the one we were awarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diadora Van Basten Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I was just pleased it wasn’t us moaning about injustice and bad refereeing for once. The interview with Brendan Rodgers took up about as much time as the highlights. It was funny as he claimed he doesn’t like to complain about the officials then spent the next five minutes moaning about the officials. Also why did they not use the studio and show highlights of the other games tonight. It reminded me of Rugby special from the 90s at the end with the pitch side interview between Watson and McCann.

If the ball had been a couple of feet lower and Cochrane had been stooping low to head it, it would have been a free kick to celtic for Cochrane endangering himself! At the height the ball was actually at though, it's a free kick to us even if there hadn't quite been contact, and a definite red given he kicked Cochrane in the face!

Doc Rob Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Astonished by Neil McCann saying it wasn’t a red card! Seriously Neil, he kicks Cochrane in the face. You raise your boot that high, you’re taking a serious risk. If one of our players did that to a Celtic player, he’d have had a straight red, no argument, do not pass Go. OF players are immune from this, as we all know, but once the ref had to review the VAR he had to upgrade it. That’s how clear-cut a decision it was.

I was more astonished he didn’t think ours was a penalty. He’s normally very good but, as with the other pundits today, all they did was go on about intent. Read up on the laws guys, doesn’t need to be any intent. If you’re doing an aeroplane impression and it hits you below the sleeve line it’s a penalty. Personally I thought a red was harsh too but if the St Mirren guy was a red on Hart then they both are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did VAR even get involved for the Celtic penalty? If anything, Cochrane was the one being fouled. The yellow card was correctly upgraded to a red. Studs in the face, Cochrane could have got a sore one. He didn't intentionally kick him in the face, but he intentionally raised his boot that height, thus clearly endangering an opponent. Red card all day long. Can't believe number of pundits who are questioning it tbh. This all day long. I'm frustrated at the amount of folk who can't see that.

It was endangering an opponent and both Beaton on VAR and Robertson agreed. There's no debate to be had, I think Boyd on Sky was the only one to say so. That said both penalties are never penalties, although the standard has been set this season for hand ball (wrongly IMO) so in reality it was always going to be given.

south morroccan Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Steven Naismith is quoted as saying our penalty was soft. He actually said it was correct according to the current handball rules but made clear that he thought these rules were a nonsense. As others have said there is also need for dangerous an intentional play to be malicious and so according to the rules of the game the red card was correct.

Love Alex Cochrane but he’s prone to brain farts in his positioning at times that has cost us a few penalties over the last couple of seasons. If he’d gone to the man with the ball originally and let Benny track the runner he wouldn’t have ended up on the wrong side of the player coming through and making it easy for the ref to give the penalty when they came together. Alls well that ends well though and Zander dug him out. Still think he’s a cracking player but have seen evidence of these wee things a few times now.

The Wrinkly Ninja Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Not sure how anybody can not think that’s a red card. Which player, anywhere, across all time, tries to flick a ball that would otherwise drop at your feet while it’s over 5 foot in the air unless you think that an opponent might get their first with his head? He knew cochrane was there, he knew cochrane would go with his head and he tried to play it first which endangered cochrane and was reckless.
