MulsonFFC Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Reverse angle of the Cove penalty award from the SPFL highlights..... its a pen and actually a very good decision (however much you disagree with the handball laws). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the point the long ball is thrown up. McCann is level with Burrell (although Burrell is ahead of him in the turn) This is where Burrell collects the ball, McCann was ball watching and didn't even know Burrell was there until he had the ball: Terrible lack of awareness from both McKay and McCann tbh. Can't really see what more Lang could have done, he didn't and likely couldn't get near the ball throughout the play. Lang gets caught on his heels with the ball landing well outside the box. Defenders really shouldn’t let it bounce over their head like that, it’s not like it was a quick break away either as we were set up for an initial goal kick. The midfield and defence should have dropped back as a unit to be able to deal with any long ball and not leave all that space behind them for players like Burrell to run in to. We actually got a bit lucky with the bounce as went about 12 feet in the air allowing McKay the chance to get back to cover, even if he made a mess of it. The positioning of the whole back line is poor though. McKay should probably be marking their striker with Lang covering the space inside or behind. We never seem to look like we defend as a solid line though. Always look at 6s and 7s with balls through the middle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it just goes to show you! Clearest penalty you'll ever see, yet from the other angle it looked a very, very shaky decision. My favourite part was the wee p***k giving it the big 'get it up ye' to the cameras at Burrell's goal though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS Spotted Hartley giving it the full bhoona at their goal too. Settle doon, games last 96 minutes plus... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Having now seen it from both angles I still think Yeats had headed that rather than punched it away, even though his arm was up. Literally no one appeals for it either Would help if Cove didn't film their highlights with a potato. Either that or some of Hartley's grease has been smeared over the lens. If it has come off his arm it's in the ridiculously soft category, where Kirkland conveniently didn't award a penalty for very similar claim we had later in the game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Fitzgerald Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 It’s almost a week on from that game, time to move on. Can tell we’ve not got a game tomorrow on this thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so, but despite all the wailing and gnashing of teeth on here, we weren’t robbed by a terrible refereeing decision because the referee got it right. As for Burrell’s goal, McKay’s header falls into much the same category as Lang’s pass against DU. McCann’s total lack of tracking of Burrell was extremely poor, and is just another example of our ever present lack of organisation and discipline at the back.

Long Suffering Bairn Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Like most ? of us I am not impressed by McKay but if the guy is trying his best and it's still not good enough, that is not his fault, it's the manager's fault for playing him. All we can ask from anyone in life is they do their best. If he is not doing his best, that's a different story.

I don’t think that the thought of keeping up with the top half of the championship after going up is true without big investment for us I'm fairly steadfast in my belief that the team who wins league one should immediately look to challenge for the playoffs in the Championship. In the last ten years, a team promoted from from league one has at least finished fifth every year. I think in 7/10 of the seasons they finished in the playoffs. Every year it was the league winner bar last season, where QP finished above Cove. 1 hour ago, Ranaldo Bairn said: Sorry but this is complete havers, come on. He literally punched the ball!
