I personally think if a Ross County player had done the same we’d all be highlighting how the officials got it spot on. No one, including Shankland, claimed for anything. In fact Shankland tried to win the ball back. Therefore there was no simulation, just a coming together of players who both just got on with the game until the ref decided to interve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ever there was evidence needed of ineptitude or plain cheating, this is it. Even with the obvious maroon tinted goggles on, that was never simulation. I doubt there's anything the club can do or say now though. It's a wagon circling reaction to the recent flood of referee identified cock ups, perhaps also influenced by the comments of the recently retiring chief clown.

I personally think if a Ross County player had done the same we’d all be highlighting how the officials got it spot on. I dont think its corruption, you are correct, but it looks like they have made a big mistake. From the replays, and slow motion, it is clear that the RC defender makes contact with his knee (I think), or upper leg, when Shanks is turning At that speed, it is reasonable to suggest that the impact caused him to go down. The fact that he got right up on his feet is neither, here, nor there. He wasnt cheating or simulating. I just dont get how they cannot see that there was contact, and why that contact wouldnt have caused him to go down. You cant really say that a particular type of contact looks bad enough for the player to go down, or not, as the case maybe, as penalties just wouldnt be given for contact in the box. My understanding of the rules is that if there is contact in the box and the player goes down, its a penalty. AN act of simulation is an act of simulation. BUT, a yellow card is a yellow card. Thats basically the ref saying that Shanks was cheating and deliberately trying to win the penalty, which just isnt true - imo I actually wonder if Shanks comments about anticipating the contact etc to the press was what cost him the decision in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, the actual issue is his incompetence - he shouldnt be getting "coached" through the VAR system, if thats what was happening, as that isnt what it is there for. I guess (overall) we have been better served by VAR since its inception. Mind you, that says a lot about the standard of referreing pre VAR, than anything else. I dont think its corruption, per se, but more a robust response (from the beaks) to try and protect referee integrity. The problem is, as we all see it, is this way of doing things, actually calls the referees integrity into account, especially when the ratification of earlier decisions, is wrong. My primary frustration with VAR in the first place. Whats the point of the system, if the decisionmakers end up backtracking to protect the referees, rather than using it to maximise consistency and fairness in terms of decision making? You cant have both things - is the problem. If a decision is wrong, its wrong. There shouldnt have to be any backtracking in the first place. Referees will make mistakes - which is why we introduced this system. The fact we are still pouring over and analysing decisions made, is indicative of how much better it could be, as opposed to anything else.

Crikey! He’s attracted a fair bit of attention from other clubs for his incompetence and attitude on the pitch. And yet he’s still employed as a referee. No wonder he was being baby sat by Beaton on Saturday. We can wonder why all those complaints seem to have been ignored by his employers. This rejection of Lawrence Shankland’s appeal will only highlight further how incompetent he is at refereeing. He should be nowhere near a top senior game.

Firefox Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 3 hours ago, Mikey1874 said: Reminder of the incident. 0.41 the best view. The more I watch this the more I'm astounded at this booking. anywhere else on the park this is a foul, so in the box it's a penalty, but Shankland at no time claimed a foul, and even bounced right backup to try to win the ball. He doesn't even look in the referee's direction. It's a shocking decision to book him, and even more shocking that Beaton doesn't make him aware of his clear and obvious mistake. The decision to dismiss the appeal smacks of corruption and officialdom closing ranks, just like the IPCC do for complaints against the police.

Japan Jambo Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 13 hours ago, Wee Mikey said: Technically, yes; morally no? Had that been Goldson then the VAR team would've scrutinised it to the Nth degree, spotted the slight touch, ignored the non-claim plus him getting up pronto, and awarded a penalty regardless. As above. As someone has already pointed out, it perhaps falls in that grey area of neither a yellow card for simulation nor a penalty. He didn't dive, didn't 'milk it', and made no claim. Should've simply been 'play on'? Poor refereeing and a bit of a face-saving stitch up, methinks. That's one of our Season Ticket renewals into the coffers of the authorities. Maybe they're skint. Actually, given the £40 price of our up-coming 🏆 semi-final, they must be needing extra £££s to pay for all the hangers on and freebies dished out to those who could otherwise well afford to stump up for their own day oot at the footie. Harrumph! Still not happy about that Haring shirt pull penalty at Ibrox. I appreciate that technically it was but the double standards don't half annoy me.

Ex member of the SaS Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 When a player goes down in the box the ref has three choices: 1) Award a penalty, obvious decision 2) Book player for simulation, Player dived 3) Do nothing, If the player get straight back up and continues to play, let play continue. If as has been suggested the ref was being coached by VaR then I would like the club to ask for the recording of the conversation between VaR and ref. If proved then the club has to make a fuss. This has to be stamped on quickly before it becomes the norm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we release another statement calling the SFA and the referee cheats. In the same way they called our player a cheat. Much more evidence one way than the other.

Hackney Hearts Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Should only be two ways of getting a card for simulation: 1. No contact made. 2. If there is contact made, the attacker's reaction has to be clearly exaggerated / theatrical. Just 'going down' (and getting straight up) is far too subjective as to whether the contact was sufficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
