Guest Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Doig definitely could've been booked as it looked to me like "simulation", which is the word FIFA uses in the rule and Doig did appear to simulate contact. I really don't care, though, as it had zero impact on the match. A wider point on the rule; none of "dived", "went down easily" or "exaggerated" are necessarily arguments for a ref to penalise the player. It's strictly simulation, the outright feigning of physical impediment from an opponent, which is outlawed and to be punished with a yellow. McFadden on Sportscene made the point that referees often tell players "I can't give you the foul, especially if its a penalty, unless you actually go down from the challenge". So oddly, we could even say "diving" is allowed, if we want to call it such. It may even be necessary given so many refs find it makes their life easier when awarding fouls. What isn't allowed is simulation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose if they kick all of the teams with plastic pitches out of the top flight it should help Hibs to make it through at least a decade or so without relegation. *no laughing at the back* 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, i'm not ever sure we'll qualify for it. In a shootout with St J i'm not sure we are favourites (were they in the top 6 at all before the weekend?). The team that ended January included Brown and Robinson so I don't think we are as strong as when on that run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think how it would work is they'd first have to give us notice the rules were changing for Plastic pitches not being allowed in the Premiership, and we'd then lay a grass pitch. However until such time, if it ever happens, turf shit, you'll just have to suck it up, pellets and all.

That's what the team in the runner up of the King of The Lothian's would say. Play down the title you didn't win.
