Queens offered to cancel the game. I have never heard of any club having to pay a fee to have a game postponed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 So late in the season with nothing much at stake, it was maybe as well that they got the fixture out of the way. It must have been very difficult for all concerned though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no financial fee to call a game off. That's just not true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you meant postponing it (rather than just not playing it at all) then, subject to both teams agreeing and it being rearranged for tomorrow preferably, or next Tuesday worse case, I'm pretty sure there would be no ramifications from the league. It would still have meant coming to Dumfries on a Tuesday night though so presumably going on Saturday was the lesser evil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a said both teams had agreed but it's down to SFL to make the decision and they must have came back with yeah you can do it but you will have to pay X amount to get it called off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does actually reach out and shove McAllister. Red all day. And anyone who thinks that isnt a clear goalscoring opportunity has little idea what one is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the major decisions were absolutely spot on from the (slated) officials. I knew it was a stonewall penalty but my recollection was the other defenders were further back and the angle was far tighter. Neither was the case, it's a clear red. Surely if Brydon had slid to make an attempt to tackle he'd have avoided the red? The second I wondered if it wasn't a FK purely down to McKechnie's complaints but it's a clear FK. And for the 3rd I was adamant it hit McAllister's arm and it doesn't look like it did. I've watched it back several times and in my defence it looks like the ball hits him twice before dropping and they way he pulls his arm up made me think the second contact was his arm. It really doesn't look like it was though. Fair play to the officials. Who'd be one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really doesn't look like it was though. Fair play to the officials. Who'd be one! I've also been told by several people that he wasnt initially going to give red and was talked into it by Montrose players. Wasnt my impression at the time and the footage shows him groping in his top pocket for the red immediately, before anyone even speaks to him. The delay in showing it is because he initially goes to the wrong pocket and because Brydon walked as far away as he could manage while he was looking for it. Its an absolutely clear red and was always going to be. The referee got every important decision spot on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
