County Vs Celtic, Sunday 12 noon


Recommended Posts

The Sky studio clearly been briefed to toe the party line, led by a clearly embarrassed McFadden saying how it's a clear penalty 😂

Imagine having that size of a financial advantage over RC, and still needing the officials to gift you a penalty, embarrassing stuff.

The handball rule really is beyond the pale. Surely no one running the game or IFAB genuinely thinks it’s fit for purpose? You are asking defenders to go against natural instincts just to avoid giving away a penalty. It’s a total nonsense and spoils so many games.

Can’t remember any of you being this outraged at the one given for you when it hit O’Reily from point blank range. §§🤷‍♂️

For once I agree, the handball laws aren’t fit for purpose

Cant blame them. Blame whoever came up with the concept of "arm in an  unnatural position" rule. Someone that clearly never tried to jump high in the air. An almost impossible demand of body mechanics.

Can't remember you being outraged when John Hartson fouled Jim Lauchlan in January 2004.

It’s not really how it’s applied, is it? It’s less not in a natural position and more ‘the defender didn’t take sufficient evasive action in that split second to avoid his arm making contact with the ball’.

That’s because I wasn’t posting here in 2004 mate. It clearly still triggers you though some 19 years later 😂

FIVE penalties in their last 4 games. Looks like it's not just the Sky studio team who have been well briefed on what's expected of them.

Is that more or less than rangers, because that’s all that matters really.

It's just another example of the anti-Highland bias that exists at every level of our society. It started with the Clearances and the erosion of Highland culture, and now manifests itself with these baffling refereeing decisions against the Highlands' premier football club. They just don't want us here.
