Matt Morriss 69 Posted April 12, 2009 Just seen the highlights on ITV and the penalty was a bloody dive wasnt it?!!!! The ref was right on the spot and i cant believe he gave it, minimal contact and Scotland went down like he''d been shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pennywise 0 Posted April 12, 2009 outrageous but it seems like diving is ok as long as someone makes the slightest bit of contact ,it was pathetic a bloody great lump like scotland going over like that i`m surprised he could compose himself to take the penalty i bet he was laughing that much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted April 12, 2009 Well that is 3 pionts lost in last two games from bad Ref decisions, so when people say dont plame the Ref, where would we be if all of those decisions went are way (and personally, i dont remember many if any decsions we got, that shouldnt have been (that affect the games result, there is the odd frre-kick, corner, throw in ect) please correct me if im wrong, but bad decisions seem to effect us badley (from the Ref and Managers/board)) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Huddy 0 Posted April 12, 2009 It was a crowded box, don''t think scotland was gonna do anything dangerous with the ball so why stick out your leg, ridiculousw. Thats doherty''s major problem, solid for 99 percent of the time, but always likely to mess up big time every 3 games.

Reggie Strayshun 0 Posted April 12, 2009 OF course it was a penalty. No question about it. Some of you are just clutching at straws. The bottom line is that we were not good enough yesterday;like for most of the season. Our away record is ATROCIOUS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdncfc 0 Posted April 12, 2009 As usual Doc was about 3 hours to late with the challenge, blatent penalty. Doc has been one of our better performers this season but he''s so painfully cumbersome and slow he is always liable to give free kicks and pens away.

Syteanric 1 Posted April 12, 2009 i think it was a dive.. thats life though.. look how many penalties we won with a certain D Huckerby in the side..... he didnt exactly try hard to stay on his feet sometimes... we shouldnt be in this position at this stage of the season anyway... its all immaterial now.tit for tat as they say.jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted April 12, 2009 [quote user="coops"]Blatant penalty. If it was the other way round you would have been screaming for a penalty to City! Wake up[/quote]Quite so. But it is also true that since the debacle that was the Bistol City game (dodgy penalty given against (+ red card), dead cert penalty not given for) we have had as many as 4 pretty clear pens turned down, which could/would have gleaned enough points to have us sat quite nicely outside the bottom 3.The idea that these things even themselves out is all well and good, but they damn well sure as hell don''t look likely to do this season unless something bizarre happens in the next 4 games.

canaryfan68 0 Posted April 12, 2009 It was a penalty and as blatant as they come, Doherty took his left leg then pointed that he got the ball! I can''t believe we have given so many penalties away this season, thats just not ''bad luck'',thats just poor decision making and it seems that we aren''t learning from it! These players seem to have very little common sense when going about their profession. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
south of the border 0 Posted April 12, 2009 Scotland made the most of the situation he just fell over doc''s outstretched leg therfore it was a penalty. The main problem was the ball came in from the left too easily and doc just had to try and deal with the situation (not well on this occation). In my opinion doc has been one of our most constistant performers this season. Incidently, the ref at the swansea game was not quite so benevolent tous when one of their players handled the ball inside our penalty area!! This seems to have happended a few times this season coventryat home comes to mind.However, the problem of the ball being put into our penalty area too easily is a bit of a re-occuring theme, it happended last week against sheffield wednesday when cofty did not manage to make a challenge on their player and allowed him to cut in from the left and get a shot in and score, i''m not singling cofty out because he has been fairly good for us defensively. Similar thing happened at Birmingham when Carney gave up the ball too easily to the brummy wideman and he then crossed the ball in for jarome to score (fouling marshall in the process I might add) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kick it off 1,927 Posted April 13, 2009 I thought Scotland went down very theatrically, it was a "sniper in the crowd" moment, but it WAS a penalty.Yes Scotland threw himself to the ground, but there was significant contact, stone-wall pen in my book.We would have been outraged if it had been one of our players in that position and it hadnt been given.I don''t think you can put it in the same box as that cheating t**t Andy Johnson.Never mind, that''s life. It''s game day again, so we have a chance to make immediate amends. I have a feeling they will make us proud today and destroy Watford, and hopefully Forest vs Sheff U will go to form and we''ll be sitting, albeit very uncomfortably, a point clear of the drop zone tonight.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure we would only be a point away from Forrest and a draw to get back infront of them but we would still be in the same league position. Any result from Forrest today and anything but a win from us and we are down if you ask me.That would leave us a minimun of three points adrift with three games to go. If it goes as far as five then we are gone. So it really is crunch today and we must win at all costs, no ifs or buts about it.On refereeing decisions - even if you don''t count yesterday I think we would have four or more points in the bag. Its not the only reason we are where we are but you cannot deny the decision making has been pretty poor lately. The goal that never was for example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reggie Strayshun 0 Posted April 13, 2009 Not true at all. If you look at the stats ,we''ve lost hardly any games by more than one goal,and none by 3 or more. If you are getting stuffed 4 or five-nil,then the odd penalty against doesn''t matter,but in our case they''d have meant an extra 6 pts at least. You cannot put it down to dodgy referees. It''s just p*ss poor defending. Naivete usually(as ot was with Doc on Sat. He should know better. These pens are going to cost us relegation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
