WhatDayIsIt Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 32 minutes ago, Pull My Strings said: Just watched them back. First is a good jump and header from Oakley, second Holt gets in front of Oakley but then misses his header. Nothing to do with Holt losing a physical battle in either of those. United certainly struggled to cope with Oakley that day, partly because Oakley is just a big strong laddie and partly because the referee was being a bit lax in pulling him up on the dirty side of the game, but I don't think Holt stood out as struggling any more than anyone else. Opinions vary, but that is what makes this such a good discussion forum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Panzer Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 28 minutes ago, Pull My Strings said: Yeah, the standard of refereeing in the Premiership is also gash, no argument there, but I think you're less likely to get away with all the fly, dirty stuff that goes on in the lower divisions because it'll be caught by VAR. Do I detect someone pining for VAR… I don’t disagree things get picked up but tbh - I just don’t see that as a positive. Every minor infringement is becoming a penalty as we drift listlessly towards a no contact sport imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I agree entirely, just an observation that tactical brutality is less of an issue when there's some dweeb watching on the telly and looking to pick fault with every second challenge. If folk are getting sent off for relatively innocuous mistimed tackles, there's less scope to deliberately elbow a guy in the head or stamp on someone on the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a step up but I think he'd do okay for another year. I'd have Holt and Graham as the two competing for the left sided centre half slot and would expect Graham to cement that position eventually. He's a calm, solid presence. Kevin Holt. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven W Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Feel a little deflated after that. Raith incredibly fortunate to get anything out that game, never mind three points. Seen Raith four times in the flesh and few more on TV and never been impressed. And yet, somehow, they continue to hang in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
