accies4life Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 With regards to the "Telfer tackle".....no one has seemed to notice or mention that Imrie came in over the top of the ball, studs up and both feet off the ground. Had Telfer not went in as he had he could have been the one on the end of a sore one! Imrie had a cheek to whine. He's not shy of a tackle, most notably the one on the young boy McCabe! I know the incident your referring to, he didnt tackle over the ball, he stood on the ball and slipped over it, that's why I assume the ref just gave a foul to united.

No, he dived in with both feet. I wouldn't necessarily agree with the suggestion that both feet were off the ground or that the studs were particularly high but he dived in. Telfer was stretching for the ball, missed it and came down on Imrie's knee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't watched the highlights so I don't know if it was shown so if your getting that from the highlights then I will take a look again, the incident happened right in front of where I was sitting and clearly looking like he tried to step to try and win the ball, but stood on it and slipped.

It was repeated about a dozen times during the TV coverage and it's quite clear what happened. The incident was followed by Aidan Connolly getting booed for the rest of the game, which tells you everything about the view that many Accies fans had of the incident.

McAllister talking pish about the "standing leg" of Imrie. Imrie was off his feet and over the top of the ball too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helpma Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Till i see it again, we'll have to agree to disagree. It was pretty clear on the TV, and it wasn't a great challenge by Imrie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the challenge he made in the thistle game I'm inclined to believe you, guess that's the advantage of watching it on tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gave a 'foul' for a player standing and slipping on the ball? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies4life Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 He gave a 'foul' for a player standing and slipping on the ball? lolWhat's funny about that, the Dundee united player had the ball, an opposition player tried to make a tackle, slipped on the ball and as a result impeded the united player, meaning the ref should give a foul.That's of course what should be the case had he slipped, but as people have pointed out, having watched the game on the tv, he in fact made a bad challenge.

Quaye Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 A still can make anything look bad. You just need to watch the highlights to see that Imrie went steaming in and over the ball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it up guys. I think that's the first time you've said anything positive about Accies. I'm getting a little teary-eyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read the Accies thread around July I said you will have a good season and won't struggle (or words to that effect) We are all Accies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switch skin colours and that's blatant racism tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
