Mox Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I thought both were sending offs, no doubt about either in my opinion. An intelligent player in Balls position would have assessed the situation quickly, realised he wasn't going to win and pull out, it was utter madness from him.

Yeah, I don't think there were any controversial decisions from the referee if I'm honest. All looked correct to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2nd yellow is understandable, but rarely given from my memory. Boyata one not even being a foul is a good example. He arrives late and catches the player.... Ferguson lunge was ridiculous and is a red all day. He does appear to pull out to an extent, but it was too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you didn't care about Aberdeen but here you are again all over that very topic. hahaha, we're discussing a game that was on yesterday. One in which there was several controversial incidents. I'm not the only non Celtic/Aberdeen fan commenting. Am I not allowed to comment on a game just because it involves you lot? Gies peace!

sbcmfc Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 1 hour ago, Terry Munro said: You clip someone's heel from behind in the penalty area then it is a penalty. Nothing "soft" about it For Thomson being so biased towards Celtic, he should have given a penalty for the shirt pull on Eduoard but instead gave Aberdeen a free kick. There didn’t look to be much if any contact with his heel, and certainly not enough to cause him to go down the way he did. I though it was soft, thought Hayes looked a bit sheepish afterwards too... Agree on Edouard one, if there’s any foul it’s by the defender. Not much in it either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be a decent poster but has turned in to a snidey wee dick who contributes fuck all positive to any thread he posts in. 2 hours ago, Dalgety Bay TA said: Your memory is playing up. "Piling into the back of GMS".........didn't happen. He would actually be some sort of player if he managed to both pile into the back of him and smash him in the face at the same time. GMS was the one who attacked the ball and headed Boyata. Different from yesterday where Ball is the one who has the momentum and flies into Christie. Seen a lot of Aberdeen fans comparing the two. They aren't comparable apart from two players suffered head injuries. Disagree totally. GMS headed the ball and was hit late by Boyata. I thought at the time it was a penalty and having seen it many times since, still think it was one. The refereeing that day was utterly disgraceful. Topped off by Celtic getting a penalty for an accidental handball, a yard outside the box. 43 minutes ago, Mox said: An intelligent player in Balls position would have assessed the situation quickly, realised he wasn't going to win and pull out, it was utter madness from him. Yeah, in all honesty i'm more angry at Ball than I am at Thomson for that red. 3 minutes ago, sbcmfc said: There didn’t look to be much if any contact with his heel, and certainly not enough to cause him to go down the way he did. I though it was soft, thought Hayes looked a bit sheepish afterwards too... Looked like a dive at the slightest touch from Hayes. I didn't notice his heel being clipped, if that's the case then I may be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the first yellow is fine albeit fairly marginal, he's nowhere near the ball and looks like a 'I'll just take the man here in case he knocks the ball past me'. Would have been fine if it was just a foul too. Not sure about the persistent element, maybe he was referring to the Aberdeen team as a whole or some foul play that the ref played on from? But as I say, I don't think it's a shocker even as a standalone yellow. So I guess Aberdeen a bit unlucky it wasn't just a foul, but I can't see too much wrong with it being a yellow card either. 2nd yellow is more than deserved and heading towards a red. It was dangerous. Accept the point that not always given, but this instance looked particularly reckless. And really bad from where the referee was standing.

What? 2 hours ago, Dalgety Bay TA said: GMS heads Boyata... Seriously? 1 hour ago, dandydunn said: GMS headed the ball, Boyata then hit him after his attempt at goal was away. Correct. 1 hour ago, Dalgety Bay TA said: Nope. You will see what you want to see. Boyata makes no movement towards GMS or attempt to hit GMS. He is moving towards the ball, eyes on the ball, GMS gets there first heads the ball and his action in heading the ball sees him also head Boyata.

In doing so, GMS left the side of his head exposed and Boyata arrived late and knocked him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say it again but please read the whole sentence. Boyata make no movement TOWARDS GMS or ATTEMPT TO HIT GMS. He is moving towards the ball, eyes on the ball. Watch the clip. This was originally said to disprove DD's comment about Boyata "piling into the back of GMS". Which he didn't. GMS gets to the ball first, heads it, his action in heading the ball sees him follow through and head Boyata's head. Boyata's head doesn't make any movement towards GMS.

I can't say for sure but I reckon Thomson booked him because he took a big dive which wasn't warranted considering the level of contact, thats a blatant dive. Thomson maybe felt Forrest tried to con him into thinking it was a penalty. I was as surprised as anyone to see Thomson dish out the yellow because Thomson is a fuckwit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a pretty fair assessment, Balls first yellow in isolation wasn’t a horrendous decision, it was the apparent reasoning he was indicating that made it strange. Was a very soft yellow all the same. It’s death by a thousand cuts with Thomson, my experience of him as a referee is that he tends to favour the big side and can get really card happy. I’m sure old firm fans will remember if he’s ever given a wrong or marginal game changing decision against either of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDFH64 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 4 hours ago, Terry Munro said: Boyata's was a genuine 50/50 to be fair. Bell decides to jump well after Christie and isn't anywhere near the ball. It was dangerous play. GMS had already headed the ball before Boyata clattered him, which is the same as Balls challenge. They are both really bad challenges but only one gets punished, add on that the GMS one would also have resulted in a penalty. All we want is consistency from refs, it would make for a better game and lessen the conspiracy theories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got no vested interest in this debate, but that is complete bollocks I clearly heard it on tv sung at least twice before the sending off.
