Interesting that for Aberdeens next penalty shout, they were miraculously able to not just check the penalty incident and awarded a foul and free kick instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior_Arab Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 2 hours ago, STFU_Donny said: Your first point is correct but the ref doesn’t blow the whistle until the potential penalty - that’s why there’s so much confusion. Just catching up with this now. f**k me, that is one of the biggest stonewall penalties I have ever seen. And it’s never, ever a foul in the build up. I don’t think the ref even knows what he’s given the free kick for. He just panics because he doesn’t want to give the penalty. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ffs you’re really clutching here. The ref gave the free kick in the first place. That’s why it wasn’t a penalty. Please try harder when trying not to be an idiot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 First and foremost, what a fantastic game of football. Three brilliant goals from us and as I'm just home, I've no idea about any of the penalty shouts. I thought it was going to be our day when Hart hit the post, but that's how penalty shoot outs can go. Superb performance by Aberdeen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The free kick was awarded by the referee. But even if a free kick hadn’t been given by the referee, it could still have been given as a result of a VAR review of the subsequently “penalty” foul. That’s how VAR has always worked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Unlucky Aberdeen. Genuinely thought you'd get beaten comfortably today but that was some real fight and grit shown. Thought you were going to nick it when Hart missed his penalty. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Genuinely just seen him signal for the free kick to Celtic and if anything it's even worse he does that. Why does he wait until an Aberdeen player is fouled to stop play? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even on a day when I “had” to want Aberdeen to lose, I still managed to be annoyed that they didn’t win. Such was the effort and the opportunity to really get it up the arse cheeks. Especially as I think there’s every chance of Hearts beating Rangers tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 In fairness, I think he gives it when he first blows the whistle - it looked like he's pointing at the spot rather than the six-yard box, but he is giving the free-kick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play is allowed to develop so that if the ball ends up in the net or an attacker is fouled in the box, the goal/penalty can subsequently be awarded if a VAR review determines that the original free kick should not have been given. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. The vicinity of the foul has lead to people saying he is pointing for a penalty. He isn't. Then he points upfield indicating a foul against the Dons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did he not stop for the “foul” before the CCV made his challenge? He took ages to make his mind up. If that is the other way around he’s awarding a penalty to Celtic and VAR will uphold the on-field decision. Guaranteed. FTOF and Fcuk the SFA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your annoyance will pass, it really will, when the post-split games start, and rather than be embroiled in a trouser-troubling relegation scrap, we are in position to have European football - even if it involves a trip to the Welsh valleys, Norn Iron, or Azerbaijan. It wasn’t about cheering for an ugly, actively wanting a bigot to prevail - it was about Aberdeen not winnng the Scottish Cup. It so happened their opponent was an arse cheek, it would have been the same had they been playing Hearts, or anyone. If Aberdeen had got to the final, they were genuinely in with a shout. Fortunately, they’re out, which has fcuk-all to do with cheering for ra’ Sellik per se. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
