Never really worked but on the flip side any time raith got the ball they just launched it into a corner to try and play for 2nd balls. Which is strange because you’d thought with boys like easton and stanton in there they would try and play. No gripes re. The penalty. But on the red card maybe I’m seeing it with slightly thistle tinted glasses the tackle was no where near “knee high”. From the footage it looks like robinson tries to get his foot inbetween connolly and the ball to drag away and connolly nicks in just before him. I’d say a nailed on booking but a red? Not for me. I’ll let the ref off with trying to play advantage, i know some people have tried to say it should have been brought back. But we did still have possession of the ball. Poor result / performance from the jags, I’m not writing us off just yet. Still think there will be a couple of players to come in between now and the end of the window. Plus lawless and mackay to come back in (hopefully) before Christmas Aye that's what he did, unfortunately he stamped his foot down in a way that really was unnecessary. There were better ways to get the ball. It's a red every day just for the stamping motion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go straight legged straight into his knees and then it is a stonewall red card? Its a yellow card and a foul all day long nothing more 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a poor decision from Robinson. Dumped his team mates in it when they were starting to find spaces going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you seriously arguing that that isn't a red card? And if so, are you permanently doolally or is this a phase that you're hoping will pass? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Cannot believe there is a single owner of a pair of eyes trying to claim that’s anything other than a red card. It is the reddest card you’ll see all season 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Starko Rover Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 (edited) Good win for us as I’d have ripped your arm off for a point before the game with everything that’s happened at Stark’s lately. Thought Thistle played some nice football but was a little surprised by the lack of end product especially with Graham up top who didn’t have a great game, something just wasn’t happening for them and I guess credit to our back line for that. Amazing both teams were most peoples pick for the league this year and we’re not exactly setting the heather alight first two games. I’ve no doubt Thistle will turn it around very shortly as there's some good players in that team. Well done to the Thistle fans always a great backing our end was pretty quiet but I guess we’ve not much to sing about just now until we sort things out in the dugout.

Fuctifano Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 (edited) Might be better on our own thread, but courtesy of @The Thistle Archive link and Jagzone archive I've gone through all our red cards since 12/13 - date chosen as when JZ video archive starts- and stripped out those for 2nd yellows* and "last man" straight reds, leaves the following 19. The last column is my take on it, factual data courtesy of TTA. Muirhead vs QoS obviously remains legendary and Erskine on Morelos was quite good, if you're going to get a red vs the OF make it worth your while. Probably cost us an exceptionally rare win vs them though. I had forgotten about Christie Ellliott vs St J though, their player in the corner lying on the ground trying to hold onto the ball after we get a free kick for the St J guy falling on top of the ball and and Elliott encourages him to let go of it by booting him in the plums. *the only one I think was worse than Robinson yesterday in this period might be Hugh Murray against Morton where he broke the boy's leg but only got a 2nd yellow for it. Bannigan vs Ayr I think was him trying to get himself sent off rather than do any severe damage to the Ayr player.

That was also a second yellow but yeah guess that could have been a red if the ref had chosen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
