Didn’t watch it all tbh. It’s the norm now for Celtic to absolutely hammer teams so I wasn’t surprised at 5-1. A GD of +60 after 25 games is wild and a sigh of how dominant Celtic are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that I've ever seen you criticising celtic fans songs but I'm glad to see you saying it here. Hopefully you continue down this road as both teams songbooks need need to be left in the past. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddie06smfc Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) I thought it was a red card. It looked to me the ball was going across the body of Small into the net and only hit Small as a result of the deflection off Taylor's arm. Harsh as it wasn't deliberate, unlike Ayunga's against Livi earlier in the season, but it definitely stopped the goal from what I could see. We played well enough beforehand and caused enough problems without creating anything. Grieve's chance at 1-0 looked like a certain goal without Carter-Vickers block. Starfelt loses concentration at least once a game, he seems a bit of a weak-link in that Celtic team.

The whole "somebody behind him" is wishful application of the law. Player didnt do it deliberately but stopped a shot on target from about 8 yards out. Aff. Which is why the handball rule is so shite. It was totally accidental and whether it was going in or not isn't really the point. It should have been a yellow at worst. Ref applied the shitey rule correctly but the rule needs changed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 It had taken few replays on the tv to notice who actually handled the ball, a certain angle of one replay showed it was pretty clear and it did prevent the ball going into the net so aye, penalty and red card. Frustrating as we were still in the game, albeit tiring. Didn't really look like scoring though. Not sure what Curtis Main has to do to win free kicks though, I don't mind it when strikers like him and defenders go at it, its part of the game, but the ratio of fouls given against him compared to the free kicks he receives is ridiculous. Ryan Strain stood out for us, Gogic won so many balls in midfield too. Good team performance though. Says it all that Celtic weren't at it (we played our part in that) for 70 minutes yet still win by 4 goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Yeah if Taylor doesn’t handle it it’s a goal and 2-0 down it’s game over anyway. The decision had no impact on the end outcome. Was ridiculous how long it took though. ’76 mins and we had just made attacking subs and started pushing up going for the equaliser, which leaves the bit of space behind, and that’s what can happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eder Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Ridiculous it took VAR to give the penalty - McLean misses another clear handball. Red card is harsh though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can’t wait to find out if sectarian A/B, with its sectarian levered budget, gets through tomorrow. Haud me back. This makes no sense, religious influence has dropped significantly in Scotland and Ireland past few decades and church attendance has plummeted. The real reason for such disparity is because since the turn of the millennium the tv money for European football has gone up almost exponentially.

djchapsticks Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I stand by my initial assessment that Gogic is fouled in the build up to the penalty and the outcome should have been our free kick 30 yars from our goal. It happens 6 or 7 seconds before the handball and in the same passage of play. Once again, VAR doesn't appear to be interested in looking back any further than the incident itself. Ref confirmed to SR that this wasn't picked up on or looked at. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just wrong and we got hit with this again earlier this season ( united?) where the player handled the ball before crossing it and then the subsequent shot hit tanser. Result check the tanser handball but not the initial one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theatom Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 It annoyed me that Taylor was sent of with no intention to foul involved yet Starfelt fouls in the box for the penalty and isn’t even booked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean without going into the specifics of the accuracy of what was said, your reply makes even less sense. Saying there's no or little religious influence in Scotland today is a bit like saying Rupert Murdoch's empire and fortune today isn't grounded in print because print is a dead/dying form of media. Just because it is no longer as prevalent in today's society doesn't mean the foundations of what we see today weren't built upon it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poster was claiming there a sectarian levered budget when our financial dominance has increased much more in the past two decades as religious influence has dwindled in the UK and Ireland in this time, that claim makes no sense. The budget has vastly increased by European TV money in this time as well as being able to sell players to a league which have huge tv deals whilst in Scotland its been relatively stagnant. For the avoidance of doubt Im not claiming there is no Sectarianism in Scotland but it is certainly on the decline, our turnover has increased massively in that time however.

gannonball Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Back to the game 5-1 absolutely flattered us. I appreciate Mooy got an assist but looked a bit off it today and Turnbull played like a guy who was short of confidence and match fitness and took way too many needless touches. Shame as I felt he had been deserving of a start for a while. Concerning to see Kyogo go off days after punting GG. Ange I hope uses Maeda down the middle a bit more but use him sparingly at same time Kyogo is out for a while. St.Mirren were organised as much as anyone else this season I have seen at CP domestically this season, decent boisterous crowd too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
