I can't see how he got it correct from viewing the footage but, if you were at the game and had a clear view of it, then fair enough.

Having viewed it far too many times I can't be sure it was awarded for handball but could concede that it's been awarded for Yeats holding or jumping over the Cove player at the near post to win the header which then cannons off Burrell's hand. However, I look forward to a penalty per game being awarded if that's the standard for such things 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Sacramento Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I must have watched the slowed down clip about 100 times... The ball goes past Burrell's foot, hits his knee, bounces onto his face and goes out. Doesn't hit anyones hand. Can even see Burrell's head snap back as it hits him in the face. Another frickin atrocious decision goes against us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Just watched the Kelty vs Hamilton highlights, they look to have been on top for most of the game but were really lucky not to concede a penalty at 0-0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's his twitter, which I don't do, is it possible to share it on here? I must say that, having looked at the footage back, Yeats certainly looks guilty after the incident. Classic, standing still with his hands spread trying not to look guilty pose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soft award of many over the weekend, which is galling as you won't ever see us get the same in our favour.

Guest Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) 31 minutes ago, ShaggerG said: I assume you mean 8 players as a net figure because they've signed 16? If it is a net figure we're obviously less than 7 too. You’re right. Sorry the site I looked at previously suggested 8. Still don’t see anything to think they’ll have a larger budget though. Some of the players they brought in are from the likes of Forest Green, Formartine and Dyce and as I mentioned they’ll still have several on Part-time contracts, which will likely include Megginson. Suspect McGinn, Lang, Spencer, Donaldson, Morrison, Ageyman, and Hogarth will be on decent money. Know they’ll have some on good wages but would be surprised if they tipped the overall balance.

MulsonFFC Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Point of contact would have been here. Burrell misses the ball and impossible to tell what it hits from the video (you can only see Yeats leg) before popping up and hitting Burrell clean in the face (slowed the replay down to .25 percent on Youtube). Ref would have zero chance of being 100% sure with Agyeman between him and the ball. Didn't hit Burrells arm as I thought it did on initial viewing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree that the ref's angle is obscured by Ageyman. I'd suggest Yeats knew very little about the contact as the size difference has left his arm in the flight of the ball once the Cove player ducks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me after only viewing the highlights, if it is handball it shouldn't be a penalty even if it is from a Falkirk player due to how it is played in There was a handball incident against Chelsea yesterday, like Saturday it was never a penalty.....common sense should prevail but rarely does with Scottish refs Edited August 15, 2023 by MrDust 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't see a lot of yeats but the more I look at it the more it seems he was absolutely climbing all over the back of the Cove player and would have had zero knowledge of the ball hitting him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blame Me Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 @MulsonFFC it's a good spot by the ref and on balance of probabilities that's what he's awarded it for. What I and others are peeved about is that we know similar incidents won't be given for us if the shoe was on the other foot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Sacramento Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Look at the referee after the award...he clearly raises his arm in the same manner Burrels arm was raised to say it was given due to ball contacting a raised arm. Check Yeats's arm before and after the ball cannons off Burrels face. It's wrapped around the Cove defender, you can see the white sleeve pointing down before and after it goes out of shot. Clearly not been given against Yeats...Ref saw an arm go up, guessed it hit it and gave a penalty, cos why not...its Falkirk lolz... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeabairn Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I think @Chinatoon Bairn is saying Yeats has told him it hit his arm and was a penalty is he not? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) It is quite simply never a penalty in a million years. Both from watching the replays and from the reaction of our players at the time. Don't think the penalty was taken til 3 or 4 minutes after the award such was the strength of protest against the decision. If that is the standard I look forward to us receiving about 10 penalties this season, rather than the 1 (one) we've had in the last 12 months. Won't happen though.

Hughsie Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 If we hadn’t gifted them the second goal we’d probably have been fine anyway. Decisions go against you in games at times but we got back into the game and were in a good position to win on Saturday. Only got ourselves to blame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
