Sensible Soccer🏴 Posted April 2, 2023 Author Share Posted April 2, 2023 (edited) 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.

Dons_1988 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone that clearly never tried to jump high in the air. An almost impossible demand of body mechanics. 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’. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensible Soccer🏴 Posted April 2, 2023 Author Share Posted April 2, 2023 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
