HoBNob Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 It's actually closer than I'd have liked tbh, I would've been far happier if it was about a yard short. As it is saying how it's a mystery that he got it so wrong is some amount of hyperbole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted March 8, 2023 Author Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Well, I think we can see now that it's easy to score all of these goals from corners if unhindered by the usual burden of the ball having to..... go in the goal. In all seriousness, it doesn't LOOK like it crossed the line, but there is still the unseen possibility that Kinnear carries it across so thats not quite as conclusive as the tweet suggests. Burrell does well initially but then misses it with his left boot. If he had flicked that away then we don't have the conversation, so even int he circumstances there's a missed opportunity to clear. Meh. We were never winning the match. No point dwelling on practical confirmation of being unable to win a title we never really looked liked winning anyway. Need to remember hopes of promotion are still strong and thats where the focus needs to be. Dunfermline are a bit better than us, we're better than everyone else, with 1 unknown factor from the league above.

Hedgecutter Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 "Nothing we didn’t all know at the time sadly" Viewing that in front of the Norrie from the Cowden End, aye? Keeper's obstructing the view of it being carried over in that video, but why let the truth ruin a good story. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallumPar Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 31 minutes ago, Bairney The Dinosaur said: Wasn't over the line. The keeper’s arm that’s on top of the ball definitely moves the ball back with him, before he extends it again. You just can’t see the ball at that point. So it may have crossed the line. However, it looks unlikely that it did fully cross the line and there’s no way any official could be certain that it did. Can’t be guessing things like that in big games. In all seriousness, the way we had played for the first 20 mins of the second half, I think a goal was coming anyway. But you can’t deny that decision had a big influence on the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokerson Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Absolutely nobody can tell for sure if the keeper carries that over the line from that clip so pointless arguing about it. Re the play offs, still confident we cant get 8th and also confident we could take Falkirk over two legs if we did finish 9th, no guarantee that would even be the final anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wind Chime Jimmy Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 The ball was over. I was right in line with at the corner of the NW. Case closed. Matty Todd is still fuckin brilliant 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re not certain it crossed the line, you can’t give a goal. That’s totally different to what (I think) you’re saying - that he can’t not give a goal, because he doesn’t know if it crossed the line or not? Is that really what you’re trying to say here? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying if it wasn't given then we'd get folk saying that the linesman shouldn't be guessing etc, with the implication that it should have been awarded. I'm also saying that I believe the linesman thought the ball had crossed the line, which is why he gave it. He was certain, in his view, that it was in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggerG Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I haven't read any of the thread since before the game started as I can't be arsed reading the inevitable vitriol. The better team won the game and the best team is going to win the league. McPake will know that nothing fancy is required now and Dunfermline will do what they've done all season and win it in a canter. As far as we are concerned, we were absolutely shite last night. Once again we've choked in a big game and essentially made things easy for Dunfermline. I think the keeper did ok, Mackie was all right, Rowe was ok when anyone bothered to give him the ball and Henderson and Burrell weren't completely disastrous when they came on. The rest were minging. I expressed my concerns on young Max being a starter given the occasion, crowd and the fact that he'd be up against better players and it seems I was right. The man who really got on my tits though was Donaldson. It may be he's playing as he does on the manager's instruction, but he looks like he's out for a gentle stroll rather than playing football. He has always been one that slows the play but this seems to becoming a notable feature. He consistently ignored Rowe in acres of space when an attack was on and either turned and gave it to Mackie or straight to the opposition. He's a good player and should be comfortable at this level but I think he's slowly turning in to a liability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite confident the 2nd goal wouldn't have happened if McKay was on the pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
