Rocky jamboa Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 1 hour ago, jackal said: Don Robertson should the one be questioned not VAR. He couldn't wait to give them their penalty even though there was a clear barge into the back of Cochrane. Only giving a yellow for a full boot of studs to the face at head height. Missing a double handball. Don Robertson is up there with some of the worst refs we have. Thankfully VAR highlighted how bad he is. We could have also seen the chance Celtic not being called offside for their goal before we had VAR. Every goal against them and the other cheek will be checked meticulously for any reason for it to be chopped off while there will be no such inspection when they score. How many handball VAR pens have the both been given compared to ones against them. Robertson gave them plenty 50/50s and soft fouls. That's a great way to look at it. Those are the types of decision we weren't getting against the old firm pre VAR. If this was down in England, Rodgers would be getting a lengthy ban for his comments. Not up here though. His comments will stir up the stupid element of their support, which has led to referees getting their houses attacked in the past, which then leads to them being reluctant to give decisions against them. I'm sure Rodgers and Celtic know exactly what they're doing here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Rodgers and Celtic know exactly what they're doing here. This is one advantage of VAR. We all know that OF players rarely get straight red cards. Refs will book them for challenges they would send other players off for - as happened yesterday. If Cochrane had been the kicker than the one who was kicked, nailed on straight red, but the Celtic player was booked. This has always happened, and the club couldn’t even complain, because the ref had seen the incident and decided it was a booking. Tough luck. But now at least some of these decisions are getting a VAR review and getting upgraded. What this tells us is that a lot of the pro-OF bias is probably unconscious. Refs (who are almost all from the West) have been brought up on a diet of OF superiority. But when they are forced to examine things a bit more closely and without their rose-tinted pro-OF specs, they sometimes make different decisions.

Col4444 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) Their penalty was a foul on Cochrane ffs, a boot in the chops is a red card whether it's meant or not, a handball in the box is a pen deliberate or not. It's the fookin' rules, the self entitlement this reeks of is beyond belief. The hatred I have for that club is off the scale.

Can’t remember if it was the 2nd or 3rd Hun goal v us in the 5-0 but I thought it was offside at the time and that it would go to VAR but clearly it didn’t. If it was the 2nd we had been getting very much back into the game and that goal killed us. Tf this was on Sky. Don’t think we’d have had the same outcome otherwise.

It would be beyond outrageous if Celtic's appeal is successful on the basis that Cochrane was running towards the ball with the intention of heading it. An analogy is the handball penalty rule - having your arm in "an unnatural position and in so doing making your body outline bigger when the ball strikes it" - Yang had his leg outstretched in an unnaturally high position, with total disregard to how close Cochrane's head was to the ball. Surely any neutral observer would deem that as very dangerous play with disregard for an opponent's safety ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DalryJambo Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 On 'this occasion' the dangerously high boot and studs to the face didn't happen to cause an injury. However, a lot of rules are there specifically to discourage players doing the thing that 'could' cause a serious injury to an opponent. Its the act, rather than the outcome. But the player did make contact to the head. Its pretty clear. If you swing a round house punch but completely miss, I'm certain you'd be sent of for violent conduct. As for the handball, it seems like nothing, but if the player hadn't touched the ball with his arm it could have fallen to the foot of a Hearts player and he could have take a shot. So celtic did gain some advantage there. Now, I don't like the fact that a player can be penalised for hand ball when they’ve no idea where the ball is and they've not moved their body in reaction to the direction the ball is moving. I think there needs to be intent to stop the path of the ball or when stopping a shot that's going to hit the target when the hands are away from the body ( but that's maybe the same as point 1). Under the current rules the ball did hit his arms, his arms were out from his sides, and Celtic did gain an advantage as the ball could have dropped to a Hearts player but for the hand ball. It's become a difficult rule to officiate now tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Australis Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Celtic and Rangers seem to be calling all the shots when a penalty or sending off is given against them. Virtually saying these things will not happen again, or we will scream and make threats. Its time for our football authorities to grow a pair and stop this nonsense.
