roman_bairn Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 8 minutes ago, Double t said: With the way the rules are now, only the captain allowed to speak tot he ref, mass protests just get more cards so you may find the team have been told to keep quiet and just get in with it. Also as I keep telling my sons team mass protests won't change the refs decision so absolutely no point in them. True but in all honesty if you feel seriously hard done by you are going to let the referee know. That doesn’t really happen. Incidentally, to your earlier post you are correct that the referee was a distance away but the linesman was right next to me and clearly saw what happened…… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously had made his mind up. I would have thought he should have spoken to the lino first then make a decision specially when the lino had a better view. Nowt we can do now. Just hope it's a ban for the trust trophy and no other games but Yeats interview indicated the ban will be next week so just need to wait and see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That picture indicates to me he has made no attempt to play the ball and f**ked his elbow into someone's throat. I want an opponent sent off if that happens to one one of our players It's the stenny boy that's coming in at pace. Hendo simply swivels and puts his arm out to shield the ball and the boy runs into it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raybowski89 Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Hey folks. I'm starting a new Youtube channel, called In The KM, which will be centred around FFC, and I thought I'd share with you all my first video. I'd really appreciate it if you could take some time out of your day to give it a watch. Like and subscribe, and all that jazz. Right, I'm off to my scratcher. Video editing takes ages btw.

kiddy Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Anybody trying to justify Henderson’s red card needs to give their head a wobble. It was a RC every day of the week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of defenders trying to shield the ball out of play from distance but there's no way Hendo was trying to do this guy. He's just not that kind of player. The red card depends on where he makes contact with the boy and it's still unclear from any of the pics shown so far. The one on here looks more like top of the chest just below the throat If it's the throat or above then you can see why even though it's accidental a red was given.

He knew what he was doing. You can keep defending him but you can’t do that then complain when one of our players suffers the same treatment at the hands of the opposition…,,,, Edited September 9 by roman_bairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky_ffc Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 It's just not a challenge you need to be making. We had the numbers back to defend it even if Aitken goes by him and manages to keep it in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunate result. We never seem to get boys sent off for anything other than silly decision making in the heat of the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is one then that would clear it up. He just doesn't come over as a dirty player to me in any time I've watched him at Falkirk. His disciplinary record is excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it had been unintentional I am sure it would have been yellow as Aitken came steaming in from behind. It was given as red because he intentionally left his arm out. I saw it, the linesman saw it and I’m sure many others on that side saw it clearly……. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think for a second he was trying to do him. I would say the same for Shanleys red v Hearts, and Colls v Kelty(IIRC?) at the tail end of last season. I don't think either guy had any malice, but both put their opponent in danger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
