He did miss a few nasty challenges from their players, denied us penalty appeals and broke up a good chance for us in the first half by blowing late for a free-kick denying us a clear advantage. His incompetence worked both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes a pleasant change to be on the other side of dodgy decisions for a change so I am not going to harp on about injustices. Sh!t happens.

Parkie is merely stating that your moaning about the ref cannot be justified. You say he was incompetent. That much is true due to how he helped Scotland!

This time it benefitted us but if he remains then we run the risk of him taking charge of one of our games again and we end up with the rough end of the stick. I'd sooner have competent refs, besides I am pretty sure we would still have won last night - dodgy decisions aside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Was there definitely no contact for the penalty? The footage I saw it was very hard to see one way or the other. Anyone got a youtube link to it or something that shows it clearly. At first I though he was sitting there in disbelief at his howling miss but maybe he did feel he had been fouled given the reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I said he was incompetent as he made errors for both sides. I've seen penalties given for the challenge on Burke and we were clear away in the first half with Robertson behind their defence with support racing into box and the ref blew up for a free-kick to us further back instead of playing a clear advantage. He also let some nasty tackles of theirs go unpunished. Incompetent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin looked to change his body angle after the defender to his right got slight contact on the ball deflecting it away from him so the way he fell looked like he had been caught.

It was more of a penalty than the ones we have conceded in Georgia and Lithuania in the past - definitely. Seen them given before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just poking fun at your statement that "his incompetence worked both ways". We might have got a few things against us but there was definitely nothing major. However, we got a penalty and to play for 30 minutes vs 10 men for absolutely nothing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham of Montrose Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 It was good to see us get a few decisions going our way for a change but I would have preferred them in one of the more testing games than this one. Would give back a couple of goals from last night for a dodger against Slovakia or Slovenia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basic point is look around at reports. Too many trying to make out as if it was down to the referee and that alone that we won the match. BS - total BS. That is my point. Sure he made huge gaffs but at a time when we were ahead anyway and well on our way to the win and yes he made mistakes on BOTH sides. Facts that are being overlooked.

I'm sure fans of every team think the same, but we don't get game changing decisions in our favour very often, so hope that wasn't our quota used up!
