Cross after cross into the box and he never wins a header or loses his man. Some slick passes through to him and he falls over the ball. He is playing as a striker and we are creating loads of chances but he never even gets a shot away. He may be the best we have but he is ineffective. Hes playing as a lone striker and did a good job yesterday. Timed one run to perfection between the aberdeen backline where he would have been one on one only for Connolly or Durmus to intercept it and play it inside His ability to hold the ball up and his link up play are far better than any other forwards we have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A still picture doesn’t show the whole situation, as you are well aware. Watched a few re runs as well as it live and it’s just as harsh as the red card. You wouldn’t have deserved to lose the game though so be happy you got some breaks to get your point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambieBud Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Surely no one is seriously suggesting that wasn’t a stonewall penalty? Doesn’t make up for the 2 even more blatant ones against Hibs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBank Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 [emoji1787] Your hatred of Obika is something else. He was superb yesterday and we got worse when he was taken off. Hatred??? Stating the obvious isn't hatred. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 The boy is standing with his arm by his side and literally sticks it out sideways as the ball is struck. As blatant a handball as it gets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houston_bud Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I'd have been a bit pissed off had a St Mirren player got a second yellow for what Ferguson did. He puts both his arms round Obika's waist right enough, but I think he's a bit unlucky. There's no debate whatsoever about the penalty though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah with the laws the way they are now it’s a penalty, and many have been given for similar or even harsher this season. It’s still a pish rule though. Not much Hoban can do. If it was your player you would have sympathy for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Love all this "well with the rules as they are now" stuff. The guy sticks his hand out deliberately to block the ball. It's by his side and he lifts it and leans towards the ball. It's the clearest penalty you'll see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergie's no1 fan Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Yeah with the laws the way they are now it’s a penalty, and many have been given for similar or even harsher this season. It’s still a pish rule though. Not much Hoban can do. If it was your player you would have sympathy for him. Not much Hoban can do... apart from not moving his arm towards the ball and block it [emoji23].I know these things happen in a split second but I don't know what he was trying to do there. He was very close to the ball, I'll give him that but the ball was moving towards goal until he moved his arm and blocked it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
