And he can only justify McCanns yellow if he gave Murray a red, they were so too far apart in severity to be considered similar level offences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was a fairly cynical challenge from McCann and merited a yellow, for me. I’ve already said officials were terrible, but I don’t think that’s an example of one they got wrong. Murray definitely should have been sent off and there was no violence towards him, as far as I can see. So I can’t understand what Hamilton was booked for at all. If someone puts in a challenge like that, they deserve to be confronted by opponents. Was a proper shitebag challenge and McCann was very lucky he didn’t have a serious injury from it. Agree that there’s no way McCann’s challenge merited the same punishment, but in isolation I thought it was a bookable offence. Referee let a lot of clear bookings go prior to that though (for both teams) - including one where Hamilton rugby tackled a Killie player to the ground (prior to his yellow). Second half, referee just stood and watched as Killie players kept kicking/throwing the ball away every time the game stopped, he never once threatened to show any authority over their players. He had no control of the game and his assistants were equally as useless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I’m a bit less convinced this was a red, having watched it back from this angle… definitely could justify a red, but not as bad as I thought at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to high for it to be a yellow imo. Originally I thought both feet were off the floor but the second leg only just leaves the ground. On balance red card but probably not as stonewall as I thought watching it live. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought so at the time, but thought this seems to prove otherwise. Point of contact is only ‘high’ because McCann’s off the ground trying to ride the challenge and collides with Murray’s knee area. Murray’s feet are on the deck. It’s a professional foul, for me. The speed/force of the challenge is what would make it a borderline red, combined with the fact he only had eyes for the man and not the ball. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing I don't get is why does he try and make that challenge in the Pars defensive 3rd? Like it's completely stupid and like you say has no interest or chance of getting the ball an odd one for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had nobody up the park and they had defensive cover, so seemed unlikely McCann was going to run the length of the pitch and score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 It's 2023 and we're still trying to judge incidents based on still images? It was a cynical high lunge and it's absurd that it received the same punishment as Hamilton got for complaining about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a cynical high lunge and it's absurd that it received the same punishment as Hamilton got for complaining about it. I posted the link to the video before the still images. Regardless of how it seemed ‘live’, the footage on Twitter shows that there was nothing high about Murray’s challenge. I was pretty clear earlier that I thought it looked high and wild at the game. But it’s hard to look at that footage and argue that it was a ‘high lunge’. The footage also shows Hamilton sprinting at least 15 yards to get in Murray’s face about it all - it would be unusual not to see a player booked for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SERIOUS FOUL PLAY A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play. Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play. Lunging from the side, excessive force and endangering an opponent? Yes to all 3 so I'd have given a red card. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only having eyes for the man is fine by me, that's what professional fouls are about and receive a yellow card as a certainty, do it in a controlled manor and I have no problem. The reason the point of contact is high is on Murray, its to our benefit that mccann trying to ride the tackle means that its his foot that's caught rather than his knee, your still pics aren't perfect as there's a point a moment before the 2nd where murray's front foot is knee high.

It would be unusual to see a player wiped out in a needlessly forcefull manor and not have their teammates react.

I was responding directly to someone claiming it was a “cynical high lunge” - I didn’t say it can’t be a red because it was high? You’re just making up an argument by completely ignoring the context here. If you’d bothered to read my previous post on the footage (about 5 posts above that one) you’d see that I said: ”The speed/force of the challenge is what would make it a borderline red, combined with the fact he only had eyes for the man and not the ball.” - which is in agreement with what you’ve just posted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Is there no a clip of the challenge? Cammy tell anything from still images as things happen in split seconds that get missed. Can't tell anything about force etc either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but I didn't say you did, it was a general point merely stating that the height of contact doesn't come into it. Red for me in this situation (regardless of the team, honest!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A standard stop the counter yellow is a shirt pull or a clip of the heels/trips. it isn't launching yourself full pelt at a player knee high, all murray needed to do is delay a second and do the normal challenge, he instead chooses the option that can result in injury, that got to receive more punishment.
