Even if it was a push and a penalty it's another decision that's wrong! If it's a push and a penalty, give the penalty, if not it's deliberate handball and a second yellow. I don't really see any shades of grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A push is a push, whether its hard or not, it's a push. It's like Celtics goal at Pitoddrie the other week, embarrassing defending by McKenna but at the same time he was shoved by Griffith's.

You'll never stop giving free kicks and penalties if that's the route you fancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal was originally given till someone had a word in the ref's ear and he changed the decision. However the Hearts player had already been booked so it is as clear a second yellow card as you'll ever see so he should have been off. It's another staggeringly bad decision. I only really watch Rangers games so can't really comment on the others, although I've no reason to imagine it'll be any different, but this season there seems to be at least 1 or 2 horrifically bad decisions every game. I'm not just talking giving a corner the wrong way etc but incorrect decisions that could impact the outcome of the game. A Ross County caught the ball last week at pittodrie about 5 minutes into the game about 3 yards away from going out for a throw. No punishment handed out.

It's like they give fuck all ever for a shove in the box but outside normally they can't blow quick enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No punishment handed out. From the description of that one, there was no need for a card. There are only certain criteria where handling the ball has to be a caution. They are: handles the ball to interfere with or stop a promising attack handles the ball in an attempt to score a goal (whether or not the attempt is successful) or in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent a goal Edited March 5, 2020 by Cove_Sheep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can just catch the ball when you want and escape a booking, but if it hits you accidentally, it’s a booking/potential sending off and a penalty?

It saves Aberdeen moaning about not getting a fair allocation, gives the fans the opportunity to go, then gives them no wiggle room to greet about it not being fair and more of an advantage to Celtic. But I doubt any of that will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with that is that it means all your loyal fans end up stuck behind the goals and in the event they sell that, the public sale get the better seats. Although I’m not a fan of the Hibs scenario either where they have a few thousand in north stand, few thousand behind the goal and 5-10,000 empty seats. Its a tricky one. Could they just use the north stand for Aberdeen hospitality? Then they can segregate at halfway and let Aberdeen go round behind the goal as far as possible, and give Celtic the rest?

They've sold more than that against you in recent years for Semi Finals. Aberdeen should be given as many as they can sell up to 50/50. Any less after a cut off date should go back to Celtic.

Ach, a seat is a seat. If you're wanting to go to the match then you'll not be massively arsed where you get sat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
