He was viewed by many as being an upgrade on Lee Robinson but his recent performances have a few doubting if that is really the case. Looks quite overweight to me too.

Rjc-1988 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Martin was a superb keeper for Sons ,what has happened ? People keep saying this. I assume he must have played well against Falkirk last season for you to label him as "superb".I only saw him 4 times against QOS and the odd game on Alba but I didn't see him in that light.The Dumbarton fans who saw him most raved about him but the word superb bears absolutely no resemblance to how he has performed for us this season. I don't know much about their current keeper Gallacher but If Dumbarton want Martin back in forthcoming window I would be inclined to offer them a straight swap and take our chances.

JinkyBairn Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 The commentary on FTV is enough to make you claw your face off. Jesus Christ, the utter cringe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think the cameraman should give up his day job either. Having said that they're all volunteers (presumably ) so don't deserve our ridicule.

We have had some fans slate our keepers for not commanding their area, some unjustified with them looking to a larger area than possible but Martin on Saturday was really poor, the amount of balls loose in six yard box and him refusing to leave his line was an accident waiting to happen. He always looked a decent ish keeper at Dumbarton but he looked massive, I pointed out on Saturday he'd lost weight but he is still pretty big. We have our own keeper woes also and hope we get one in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't think it was a penalty at the time and still don't after having seen that. Not sure it was a penalty even if Watson hadn't got his head to the ball.

Watson heads it off Kane's head (who, incidentally, moves toward Watson to try to draw a foul) so should have been a goal kick. Could have been an argument if he hadn't got to the ball, but he did. How bizarre that opposing fans can have differing opinions of the same incident! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilostmyself Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Meh, seen them given. I'd be screaming for it if it was the other way around but it's not a stonewaller or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I'm not sure why Rooney was getting so much grief for playing on when Hippolyte was on the ground. In hindsight it's obviously been a sore one but it wasn't obvious enough at the time to realise that so Rooney was well within his right to play on. As for the penalty claim it's an absolute stonewaller. The Falkirk guy doesn't win the ball and flattens Kane. I'm not sure how anyone can see that any differently. The referee gave the corner (wrongly) to cover his mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 No idea whether its a pen or not I stopped watching the highlights once Harris came on. The main problem with the rooney incident was that most of the players stopped including the queens number 2 who was also expecting rooney to put it out by the look of things as he' d slowed to a walking pace. Was bad patter then to suddenly play on with hippo down. I' have had less issue if the game had just continued at full pelt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Ref probably doesn't give the penalty owing to the guy being a mile offside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way you can tell from those highlights whether he was offside or not IMO. Is it only me that's seeing Watson getting his head to the ball?

Its hard to see from the higlights but it was pretty obvious at the time and yep Watson does get his head to the ball and it bounces off the Queens boy's head for what should have been a goal kick.
