Anything to try and tip the balance I suppose. It won't be enough, mind. A pathetic show of petulance because Shaughnessy couldn't wait to bin his mob and move to absolutely anybody that would take him down South. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it was quite clear he was bagging a 90th minute winner by chucking his replacement (Gordon) about, so of course I'm happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't change the fact that the follow through was out of control and a red card eventually being issued would have been the decision of most officials.

Yeah, I think that most of us accept that in today's game a challenge like that is going to get punished. And it's no bad thing that it is, really. It's disappointing to lose him for the next game(s) but we have cover and at least we still managed to come away with a point. Even when down to 10 our defence looked fairly solid and it was an absolute fluke that ended up gifting County something to go up the road with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s such a Scottish thing to demand nobody ever pulls out of a tackle. It’s a bit like when fans start hounding their own defenders for “taking risks” by not walloping the ball 50 yards but instead playing neat passes on the edge of their area. Stewart is not in the team to make tackles or “put himself about”. Blaming the more skilful players for the actions of the lesser ones has been holding this game back years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equally, if even a couple of them (v Killie and yesterday) had gone in, County could be 4 points better off than we are. Fine margins, “ifs and maybes” and all that. He had a long break with injury last season, then not many games back before Covid ended the season. If he recaptures the form he was in earlier last season it should make a big difference to his confidence and the team’s chances, provided we keep a hold of him. Here’s hoping (if you’re a Staggy, anyway...) Edited August 23, 2020 by The Great Stagsby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may not be as good at tackling as other team members, but I, and I'd imagine any manager, would expect every player to contest a ball that they have a chance of winning. Especially, when there is no other player in the vicinity. Otherwise, you are endorsing giving up possession just because a striker happens to be in the position of making a tackle. Especially in an area where a foul wouldn't really make a difference if the attacking player puts in a "forwards challenge". Certainly, Morias and Obika both work really hard and aren't afraid to tackle when required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Really, it's Ross Stewart's fault that the St Mirren player nearly smashed his leg into three pieces. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see strikers pull their legs away in those situations all the time. The odd time they dont they get sent off and everyone calls it a "strikers tackle". I daresay Shaughnessy needlessly battering in, getting himself sent off and effectively costing you three points will be fine because he somehow showed "commitment" and "passion". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountyFan Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Just an observation, but we now have several County fans, a Celtic fan, a St Johnstone fan and a Killie fan all saying it's a clear red. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Even when watching the game, I winced as soon as he put in the tackle and it obviously looks even worse in slow motion.I think it's a red card and don't expect us to try and get it rescinded.It's a shame as I think we'd have won yesterday too. Oh well - we at least defended well with ten men and got a point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add me to that list. Genuinely surprised anyone is disputing it. It's not just 'tackle you can't make these days!', it's one that probably would have seen you off in the mid 1990s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
