Mibs you're NOT the great shakes you think you are. Can you handle the likes of Morton etc. ? Championship is different gravy. Excellent attempt at wind up , even mentioning little Morton as if they are a step up. We won't miss your high school "stadium" and beautiful town. All the best in your fight to stay in the league 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I could see is that after an Annan player hit a shot, his leg came into contact with Finn's boot as he challenged. You can see the ball behind the number fours leg so Finn was literally a thousandth of a second too late with the challenge and the ball was there to be won. I showed him the pic on the bus home afterwards and he was bemused at the award as the ball had gone. Spot the currant without the bus fare in the crowd there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggerG Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Just watched the highlights and a few things struck me: The Annan 'defending' for our first was dreadful, our third looked offside because Miller (I think) tried to head the ball while standing on the line and it's virtually impossible to tell if the 2nd penalty was legit or not. The first penalty was as blatant as you're likely to see however. Very proud of the fact though that the guys can come up with such a battling performance when all of the circumstances are taken into account. Well done Falkirk! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just watched them and tbh my first thought on your third is that whoever it was at the back post (I thought Morrison, but I assume you know your players better than me) absolutely tried to head it and was lucky he missed it because he's 100% offside as he's wrong side of the keeper. I wouldn't have ruled it out for him "trying to head it" because he doesn't and he probably doesn't interfere in any way with the goal in doing so. The two penalties are pretty much stonewall for me. Not sure why so many Falkirk fans are moaning about them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are pens as well in my opinion a push from bisland and Finn diving in. He gave away a free kick very similar against kelty last week on the edge of the box so hopefully doing a bit of training this week on when to stay on his feet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that used to be the case and it's been changed since. Wouldn't be surprised as the rules seem to be changed every 5 minutes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 It was more the free kicks given for absolutely nothing that were getting right on my box (one of which led to penalty award no1) rather than the penalty awards, which you couldn't really argue with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that used to be the case and it's been changed since. Wouldn't be surprised as the rules seem to be changed every 5 minutes! Well he's offside if he's interfering with play which usually someone deliberately trying to play the ball is as it impacts on a defender at least. In this case, I thought he wasn't because unless you think the Annan player on the line could have reached and blocked the Nesbitt shot if he hadn't been expecting Miller to touch it then his attempt to touch it hasn't "interfered". I don't think there's a hope in Hell the player on the line was stopping it whether Miller was there or not and Miller didn't touch it so I think the goal correctly stands. If he had touched it he's offside (assuming the far side assistant has actually clocked he's goalside of the goalkeeper anyway). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, as well as we have done this season we have still had some absolutely honking referees who have given some very strange decisions against us. Mind you I suppose every club at this level could moan about the refs as they just aren’t very good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strangest of all being awarding you a fictional 94th minute penalty at Edinburgh to grab a 2-2. Which, apart from being a yard outside the box and not a foul, was a brilliant decision. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you argue whether or not it was outside the box but to question whether it was an actual foul or not is a nonsense. Pulled him back after he'd rinsed him, was stupidity from the defender. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
