Scotty Tunbridge Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Great result yesterday. One of those games where Raith could still be playing right now and still not have scored, which is a testament to our backs to the wall defending and how well Fulton played. The red card was an absolute joke glad to see the club are appealing. Some top quality booing of the ref when he went to get his medal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will he be suspended for league games or just the Challenge Cup (which he might not play in again)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly sure he'll be banned for just cup games and it shouldn't affect league games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) Absolutely brutal being an Accies fan sometimes but yesterday was one of those days that makes it all worthwhile Edited March 27, 2023 by Bert Raccoon 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted March 27, 2023 Author Share Posted March 27, 2023 I was a bit nonplussed about the game beforehand, but I did get a wee buzz when I turned up at the stadium and saw a load of folk decked out in red and white outside. Accies supporters spread across two stands was a great sight, and there were tonnes of folk who I hadn't seen at a game in years. Hopefully yesterday will get some of them to try and come back regularly, as well as attracting a few kids to become Accies fans. Those are the kinds of days that hook people who aren't actually fans, and a positive final eight games could see them buying season tickets in the summer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's deemed violent conduct, the ban will spill over into league games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess my mates Dad probably doesn't do social media 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the suspension carry over into the league? Partially, as a serious foul play or violent conduct red, it’s next game period plus the next in the competition involved.

Accies bossed the first half and defended for their lives in the second. Hope Accies fans enjoy their night. You cant turn up for 45 minutes and expect to win a cup final. Hamilton did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton gave their all for the full 90 plus minutes yesterday. Bossed the first half and when it became Attack v Defence in the second half, the Defence won. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Tbh, you can't play 45 minutes crossing the ball into the box with no strikers on the pitch and expect to win. The saves looked spectacular from the main stand, but looking at the highlights I think at least one of them would have been converted by a decent striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) I'm slightly surprised by this tbh. SFP is defined as: A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play. It certainly wasn't an excessive use of force, and i'd say that it didn't endanger the safety of the Rovers player either. If the ref thought he'd elbowed him in the face then that would fall under excessive brutality and, given the referee's view, I can see why he might think that in real time. Having had the opportunity to view it a few times now, though, it's clear he didn't elbow him and I'd argue the definition of reckless is therefore more befitting: when a player acts with disregard to the danger to, or consequences for, an opponent and must be cautioned.

Maybe pushing someone in the face with both hands when they are running past has been seen as a challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent. I’m not that surprised.
