Motherwell v Heart of Midlothian - Scottish Cup quarter-final, 04/03/2018

Callaghan deciding to leave that is as bad as that Dallas decision what was he upto.

This. I’m sure McLaughlin will take some heat for that but I don’t see him as being at fault at all. How can the defender think it’s right to leave it to roll along his goal line from there?

[LinkinFighter]

Why on earth would you leave that for the keeper [emoji23]

Absolutely otherwise what's the point of the defender being there.

[printer]

that’s a fucking joke.

I do not know the exact rule

Idiot found.

[scottxs]

What’s the f@#k is going on with our goalie% he’s having a meltdown now.

[Highlandmagyar 2nd String]

Just what Scotland needs. A dodgy goalkeeper.

[DC92]

Feinting a clearance when the ball is hurtling towards your net. Ross Callachan.

[1320Lichtie]

Idiot found.

How?

[Miguel Sanchez]

The Hearts number 66 is a bit pish

[Big Fifer]

Tbh you get what you deserve when you choose to sign players that have donned the Raith jersey at any point in their lives.

"goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball when:

the ball is between the hands or between the hand and any surface (e.g. ground, own body)"

Surely the correct decision to disallow the goal? The rules are clear that you cannot kick the ball when it is between the goalkeeper's hand and the ground. 

[Joe Terrapin]

We've not seen a goalkeeping masterclass like this at Fir Park since Graeme Smith's in the 6-6 game......

12.16 GOALKEEPER POSSESSION OF THE BALL
The goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball when the ball is held with both hands, held by trapping the ball between one hand and any surface (e.g., the ground, a goalpost, the goalkeeper’s body), or holding the ball in the outstretched open palm. Once established, possession is maintained, when the ball is held as described above, while bouncing the ball on the ground or throwing it into the air. Possession is given up if, after throwing the ball into the air, it is allowed to hit the ground. For purposes of determining goalkeeper possession, the “handling” includes contact with any part of the goalkeeper’s arm from the fingertips to the shoulder.

While the ball is in the possession of the goalkeeper, it may not be challenged for or played by an opponent in any manner. An opponent who attempts to challenge for a ball in the possession of the goalkeeper may be considered to have committed a direct free kick foul. However, a ball which is only being controlled by the goalkeeper using means other than the hands is open to otherwise legal challenges by an opponent. The referee should consider the age and skill level of the players in evaluating goalkeeper possession and err on the side of safety.

They're saying it was the correct decision. Fuckers!

Imagine a Fifa referee knowing the laws of the game...

[HibsFan]

Hearts fans scrambling for their copy of the Laws of the Game when they should be lynching Callachan instead

[Szamo's_Ammo]

Rules are made to be broken IMO (in my opinion). Goal should have stood. 

[Rjc-1988]

I thought Hearts had improved?

[Pepper]

Great quality on show so far...
