Fozzyonthefence Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) 20 minutes ago, Seymour M Hersh said: Absolute nonsense. It’s very subjective but that’s why I feel there should have been no yellow card even though I don’t think it’s a penalty (it doesn’t have to be one or the other). In fact Shankland clearly doesn’t think it’s a penalty either but there is clear contact even if it is more him initiating it. The fact he gets up so quickly without appealing for a penalty probably suggests he knows he’s gone down too easily but I can’t recall another player getting a yellow for simulation when there is such clear contact.

GorgieFifeLife Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 It may seem a trivial decision to go after but I wonder if there is a way to take this further and challenge the decision based on it not conforming with the rules. If we can push back on it harder it may open up a wider investigation into the officiating in this country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Burgundy Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 If you think back to some of the unbelievable penalties given this season then that is a stone waller if you apply the same rules.

Chillidigits Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 19 hours ago, Hearts1975 said: 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 Agree with last comment. Gave them something to latch on to. Would expect him to zip his lip in future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Direct free kick A direct free kick is awarded if a player commits any of the following offences against an opponent in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force: charges jumps at kicks or attempts to kick pushes strikes or attempts to strike (including head-butt) tackles or challenges trips or attempts to trip If an offence involves contact it is penalised by a direct free kick or penalty kick. Careless is when a player shows a lack of attention or consideration when making a challenge or acts without precaution. No disciplinary sanction is needed Reckless is when a player acts with disregard to the danger to, or consequences for, an opponent and must be cautioned Using excessive force is when a player exceeds the necessary use of force and endangers the safety of an opponent and must be sent off A direct free kick is awarded if a player commits any of the following offences: a handball offence (except for the goalkeeper within their penalty area) holds an opponent impedes an opponent with contact bites or spits at someone on the team lists or a match official throws an object at the ball, opponent or match official, or makes contact with the ball with a held object See also offences in Law 3 Where does it mention minimal contact?

I think this is the main part of the issue here - the consistency (or lack of) from officials - on field and VAR. The expectation was that VAR would help eliminate this - and IMO it has done well a lot of the time. It's likely either ugly sister gets the pen here - and at the very worst - no pen, no card. to gain an objective view I showed the clip to a mate down south who said he felt Shanks made more of the challenge than it was, but technically (these days) a pen - was surprised at the booking for simulation, given Shanks not looking for one and getting up ASAP.

To state definitely no possible foul there would have to be no contact; there was, end of. So it comes down to opinion trumping fact, par for the course these days. The contrarian approach is just stirring it, I hope, because they're either hibbies or deluded, or mischievous.

We were playing Ross County last week, not Rangers or Celtic and we’re no threat to their duopoly anyway so what have they got to do with it? And other than the yellow card which was wrong but didn’t affect the result of the game, how did Beaton make up for it? He got the big decisions correct - no penalty (even Shankland didn’t claim a penalty), and by the rules unfortunately Kingsley’s free kick had to be disallowed (similar to McTominay’s v Spain).
