Scotty CTA Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Anyone mention yet how United's fortunes have slipped while things are looking up at St. Mirren ever since wee Cammy went from the Arabs to the Buddies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Just now, adamntg said: Yeah, but he's a fanny. Thanks that's cleared it all up. On the decision itself, didn't Syme say afterwards that he had actually given offside against Redford. No TV camera angle I've seen could prove or disprove if that was a correct decision. For me its simple. if the interfering with play rule didn't exist, he was offside. If it did exist, he was still offside. He was stood on the goal line and prevented Derek Hamilton from getting across to potentially clear the ball (regardless of how unlikely that might have been). You can't be stood on the effin goal line and not be interfering with play. So in summary, regardless of the refs rationale for the decision, Galkacher was offside. Now take a telling.

You can't be stood on the effin goal line and not be interfering with play. You can if your momentum takes you there. If anything, he was more likely to keep the ball out than anything. He wasn't stopping anybody doing anything. And Redford was never offside - you can hear Weetabix-heid on the commentary saying "there's no offside...." as Redford crosses. Let's just agree I'm right, you lot were lucky (well, you were lucky anyway, but really, really lucky) and that cup should really be ours. Morally, we won the cup.

I posted it a few weeks ago when you first started banging on about 1987. Can't remember exactly but it was like 100 years ago. Seriously. EDIT : ok, I checked. A player is only offside if he is affecting (interfering) with play - introduced 1903. Actually introduced before the rule you cant be offside in your own half. Gallacher affecting play? Not even a little bit. Edited March 22, 2017 by adamntg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenfrewBlue Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Come on the Saints. Got to support my local team. Probably been to nearly as many St Mirren games over the years as Scotland ones and yet to see them lose other than against Rangers. I should have bought a ticket for today......
