Genuinely don't understand ITV's 'debate' about the penalty award. You aren't allowed to kick people in football. Even if you don't kick them hard enough to make them go down. Making the person go down is not mentioned anywhere in the rules. If I punch someone on a football pitch, but it's not hard enough to make them go down, it's still a foul. Daft discussion.You don't need to be pile drived for it to be a pen.
But steaming in and making a trip on a player should always be a pen. The defender must know he's caught him, just trying it on.That was an extremely soft penalty. Sure there was contact, but it's was embarrassing to see the club captain go down like that against a League 1 side.Progress from that corner having no counter attack on us.Irn Bruno.Soft penalty but no VAR means we don't have to spend an age dissecting it as the defining moment of the match.
Other teams get them all the time, just look at Liverpool the other night.
I'm not saying it's right, but we often get overlooked for penalties like that, where other teams don't.
The fact the commentators are making such a fuss about it just shows how more harshly our club gets judged by the media.Quite soft but who cares?Bench players have no chance of any game time while we are only one goal up.
These games should be shooting practice for a top side but we continue to struggle no matter the opposition.Now there are not enough contact excuses from the commentators? If makes you fall you fall.
Pity penalty? Only to certain player.
90% of penalties are dives. They don't get given otherwise.I think this is the first time I've honestly felt conflicted about a goal. I'd be seething on the other side of that decision
Even if VAR was there it wouldn't be over turned as was contact.
He probably could have avoided that contact, left his leg there to make sure. But still not enough to send him down the way he went.Thank feck for that. Could not be arsed travelling to a midweek replay against these lot.It was all about opinions from the off. Usually what a forum is about.
You‘re 100% correct.
(anyway, we’re going through so all good. Have a good evening
).
Commitment at its best, but that still doesn't change my opinion. Can't fault the effort, though. Top job!
Which is what Bruno what thinking in the moment? "oh, there is no VAR, i best dive to make sure".
Its embarrasing.
It's very bizarre all round. He's clearly been caught, he's not even done the old leave your leg in and trip yourself up tactic.
McCoist is constantly making over exaggerated comments, often correcting himself.Clear penalty.
Aww What's Sammatterface?
Don't think var overturns that to be honest. One of those ones where they stick to the onfield decision.Blatant pen in the modern game, don’t think it warrants the inquiry from ITV, especially as Ally’s Rangers get plenty of pens.Soft penalty but that is the modern game. 100% a penalty by the laws of the game (sadly). But refs have to be consistent. They are given week in week out for other teams so it had to be a penalty.
I’ve made it!It was all about opinions from the off. Usually what a forum is about.

Let that run for Garnacho, Rasmus. Now he's fecking things up in the middle of the parkAre people seriously debating here as well, not just the commentary, whether it was a pen? If it was given against us I'd accept that immediately. It's not like an accidental handball.
Clear pen.Wish we had Diallo and Gore to bring on.
If a player gets kicked in the foot in the box why wouldn't the player go down? If people have a problem with it, then have a problem with the defender kicking the attacker.Extremely soft pen. Bruno went down after the lightest amount of contact.
FA Cup, they are always going to give the sympathy vote to the underdog.If that was a Wigan player getting caught like that in the box McCoist would be fuming if it wasn't given.
Feck off Martial. Keep quiet and just run your contract down.Soft, but it's a clumsy tackle. When you go in like that and miss the ball and hit the player you kind of deserve getting a pen against you.Whether a pen or not (was imo) how lovely not to have to spend endless minutes of var looking at it - simple, ref makes decision & get the feck on with it.- Status
