The housing crisis could be solved if we used all the bricks being shat by United players and fans.

Connolly and Reynolds could cost us this game.

Would have rachid at centre half and butcher at centre mid if he was fit.

Imagine being from kilmarnock and having a pop at Dundee. Dreadful stuff. 

When you have St Johnstone fans sticking up for Dundee you know you’ve fucked up in your post.

11 fouls by United to our 1 guarantee we are 1st to get a booking

I thought it was a penalty personally, but can understand arguments against in claims that his momentum and balance to throw himself into the block meant his arms came out. Against that, by diving in like that you make yourself bigger and gain an advantage by blocking it with your hand.

I'm beginning to agree with calls for the law to be black and white: if a ball hits a defenders hand in the box it's a penalty, regardless of deliberate or accidental.  Will be harsh at times, but it's consistent and take away all the dubiety.

Alex Rae is a bitter ugly slimey shit manager bigot scumbag. That's his good points

[Zetterlund]

That handball decision is given 90% of the time with the arm outstretched like that. Several much harsher examples have been given in the recent past.

Very even so far but we'll probably concede another from a ridiculous free kick . We're getting men forward but decision making and delivery has been dreadful.

[Falcor Roar]

Penalty for me. It looked deliberate. 

[Les Westander of County]

Chat on BBC about 2 subs for United at half time.   

Believable.

I don't think it should be a penalty every time, but it absolutely should if they gain an advantage from it.

Anyway, we can't score from open play, and our defence looks like it's me playing rather than my namesake. We're either getting pumped or robbing them with a last minute winner.

Raploch, Stirling. 

To be clear this does not make Paisley less of a cowp.

Edit might also have been New Farm Loch, Kilmarnock.

Rule changes next season. 

[mylothedog]

I'd be fuming if we hadn't got a penalty up the other end in similar circumstances

People dying is a great way to point score on a football forum. 

Well done to you m8.

I get this argument but I think the dubiety is brought on by referees reacting to situations (especially arsehole fans shouting "handball" every time the ball is in the air anywhere near a defender in the box) and deciding they're going to do something memorable. The handball has to be deliberate to be a foul and the ref can take "natural/unnatural position" into account but ultimately he has to use the balance of probabilities to guess whether it's deliberate or not. In situations like that I think the ref should err on the side of letting the game flow and not penalising a team when they can't be sure. I guess maybe Beaton was certain it was deliberate handball, difficult to see how though.

Works until the players start aiming the ball at defenders hands and arms, as son as they enter the box.
