The Real Saints Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 A message to anybody who has stated their personal opinion that Brian Graham might have dived: You clearly don't care about the club, you clearly want Brian Graham to get banned and you clearly can't be happy that Saints won this match. You're doing the compliance officer's job for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're doing the compliance officer's job for him. You on the wind up?? It is precisely because I care about my club that I have stated that he dived. I am delighted Saints won but I am certainly not delighted about the manner in which we won. Brian Graham should be banned if the CO decides he dived. Exactly the same as any other player should be should they dive to win an advantage. I refuse to be a hypocrite by ripping into players from other teams and then saying that because it's Saints it's okay. It is not okay and never will be. As I say though, you must be on the wind up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a blatant dive. Its ridiculous. Apparently one of thems played 5s so they know when theres contact and they inform me that Grahams stud was brushed and that was enough to send him down Its absolutely mental the amount of folk on there utterly blinded to the undisputable fact he dived, yet still more appear saying there was enough contact to send him down.

Radford Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 He's probably already spent his win bonus but surely Brian Graham has to be at least a little embarrassed by that? Is it really win at all costs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieDee Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 100% dive, that said once the ref gives that penalty, surely the keeper needs carded of some description?Why? Even if the ref thought he caught him he would see it as a genuine effort to get the ball, was not dangerous and Graham's touch meant there was no goal-scoring opportunity lost. Therefore no card needed. Waiting to hear further follow up from Tommy Wright. When the fermer's keeper took out Dundee's striker at Dens this season it was, in his world, never a penalty but in this game any touch by the opposition keeper on his player and it is a penalty.

DieDee Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Langfield was sent off for a similar incident last year when Samaras took a dive. He was also going away from goal.But that was for Celtic so, as per the referee's code of conduct, different rules apply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Can't hear you down there mate. Mind the gap. High flying Dundee are only 5 points behind the struggling Saintees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieDee Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 High flying Dundee are only 5 points behind the struggling Saintees.Yip. These two refereeing decisions account for that gap. So you can be smug on the back of bad refereeing / blatant cheating, says it all really. Not that I'm worried, I stated pre season that 7th/8th was my expectation and we are on track for that, even with our recent injury problems.
