Irrational Behaviour Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 8 minutes ago, DeeTillEhDeh said: If there was no VAR it would still have been chopped off because that was the onfield decision. Exactly. That's two league games in a row where Miovski has been given offside by the linesman despite being onside. Don't see other example of this elsewhere. This is what happens when all the officials come from the central belt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The starting eleven was mind boggling last night, and the first thing that went through my head was that Warnock was "having a bit of fun" at our expense, and maybe he was. You could have asked anyone at the game over the age of 10 last night what they thought was going to happen with one centre back and two full backs as a back three, and two players who don't defend, one in particular, as wing backs, and they would have told you. But you have to give him credit for changing it quickly, although maybe after the second goal might have been better. Like you I do fear that we will end up in the bottom six, but in our last nine games we play St Johnstone, Ross County, Motherwell, Hibs and Dundee twice so it's very much in our hands to get a minimum of sixth before the split. We have to hope that we've seen the last of the experimentation now. It’s in our hands but we are far too fragile at the back. Even after we came back to 3-3 last night we still looked pretty shaky in moments and like we could concede again. Killie, st Mirren and Dundee so far don’t look like falling away in any significant fashion so to sneak top 6 we need a run of form that I just don’t think we have in us based on what I’ve seen. The defence (and Roos) are too much of a liability and as an attacking force simply not potent enough to compensate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what happens when all the officials come from the central belt. User name checks out. Linesman flags offside. VAR checks it. Confirms it was (marginally) offside. Of all the VAR nonsense we put up with, this one is straightforward. Decent game to watch last night and probably the best result from a Saints point of view. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see what you’re getting at here. The dotted lines show the projection down from the relevant body parts. When you have one player in front of another (in terms of the image, not the offside rule), at least one of those lines will need to “go through” the other player, and at least one will need to appear to cross the other solid line in its route to the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Folk talking about lines and dotted lines in relation to offside give me a fucking headache. But I long for a VAR-less world and that would’ve resulted in a 4-3 defeat so get on with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Aye, the complaints about Miovski's goal are weird. Nobody looking at the TV pictures can tell if he's actually onside. I mean, he looks it (I think) but we're not looking at it straight on. The poster above wanting the wee lines curved around the defensive players rather than going, y'know, straight to the floor is an interesting one... I could understand the rage if the goal has been given, on field, and VAR had chopped it off, but it appeared there was no conclusive evidence to show the on field decision was incorrect, so that decision stood. As for the game itself, it summed up everything about this current Motherwell team. Can knock the ball about well at times, and are more than capable of sticking the ball in the net. The defensive side, however? f**k me! I can't wait until this season is over and I never need to see Liam Kelly in a Motherwell jersey again. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby_Doo Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) We have one goalie on loan and the other who is on a one year deal, which finishes at the end of the season. McInnes signed Birghitti on emergency loan rather than the more sensible option of going in nets himself, so Kelly being out of contract worries me greatly.

I think he'd be a great addition for you guys. You should start a campaign to sign him on a pre-contract now before you miss out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I see the tinfoil hats are still on re these "dotted lines". I've nae doubt that was good for the neutral but I hated 70 mins of it. We fucked it right away with that 1st dons goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were "Elected" to the 1st Division, however, so that's not a bad result You were "invited" into it, what's your point caller? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a chance this goes... quite badly?

Like a non-league side turning up at Parkhead and spending their warm up taking photos on the pitch because it's a good laugh and doesn't really matter. 1 hour ago, Irrational Behaviour said: Exactly.
