Derry Alli Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 How does Michael Stewart still get a gig on TV? "I don't want that penalty retaken, I know it's the rules and he's not on the line but I don't want that given. Look, that makes no difference to the game." The goalkeeper saved the penalty. It was 2-2 at that point. The game finished 2-2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they need at least one pundit that isn't completely bland like Leanne Crichton, permanently annoying like Alan Preston, or just plain stupid like Packie Bonnar. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I seen a replay of the penalty I just knew theyd spend time trying to create a debate around him taking a step. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the second time in a little over a week he's openly said "I know it's the rules but for me, it's not a foul/shouldn't be retaken". It wouldn't be anywhere near as bad if when a decision isn't given (against Hearts, usually) he didn't turn into a massive gimp just shouting "BUT IT'S THE ROOLZ TOMO, JONATHUN, IT'S THE ROOLZ!!" over and over. He's an idiot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 2-2 at that point. The game finished 2-2. To be fair, he wasn't saying that the outcome of the penalty would have made no difference to the game. He was meaning that Zander Clark standing marginally off his line didn't have any impact on what happened next. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Stewart can be very good at times, but at others he descends into the Billy Dodds style of "Naw becoz fitba" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 2-2 at that point. The game finished 2-2. No getting away from the fact Dykes hit a worse than pish penalty....but the rules are there now. Almost the exact same thing happened in the Man City game when Aguero rolled the first one at the keeper but was retaken NOT due to the keeper being off his line but due to Rice encroaching. Why aren't the referees upholding the new rules? Seen a few other examples of the new rules not being followed; players walking across the pitch to be subbed rather than go off at the nearest touchline, the ball hitting the ref and him playing on, the uncontested drop balls being used differently in the same game and the penalties not being retaken when the keeper moves off their line. Again I'm not bitter and Dykes' penalty was atrocious plus I feel the new penalty rule is a bit harsh on keepers but it's part of the game now. 11 hours ago, TheScarf said: Michael Stewart’s hatred of intelligent punditry FTFY 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Going off the pitch at the nearest point is an option available to the ref, but he doesn't have to enforce it every time.If the ball hits the ref, it's only a drop ball if it goes into the net or the possession changes. If it hits the ref and goes to a guy in the same team then he's right to play on.And the uncontested drop balls are different depending on the area of the pitch. If it happens in the box it gets dropped to the keeper, while if it happens outside the box it gets dropped for the last team to touch it.The new penalty rule is not harsh on keepers. It's more lenient on keepers. Previously they had to keep both feet on the line, now they only have to keep one. Haven't seen the Clark one yet, but in general I'd only expect obvious cases to be pulled up, as has been the case in previous seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding of the rule was that EVERY drop ball can be contested and not down to the ref. Its more an unspoken informal agreement among the players. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your understanding is wrong. http://www.theifab.com/laws/chapter/28/section/77/ Procedure The ball is dropped for the defending team goalkeeper in their penalty area if, when play was stopped: the ball was in the penalty area or the last touch of the ball was in the penalty area In all other cases, the referee drops the ball for one player of the team that last touched the ball at the position where it last touched a player, an outside agent or, as outlined in Law 9.1, a match official All other players (of both teams) must remain at least 4 m (4.5 yds) from the ball until it is in play The ball is in play when it touches the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas chose to not enforce it on Saturday, when a Livingston player was in his own six yard box at a corner. A lovely minutes wait as he sauntered to the halfway line. He then forced a player 20 yards from goal to go off behind the goal about 5 minutes later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akuram Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 If the assault on Chris Kane had been on a Rangers player they would have talked about it for ever.
