Thanks Grizzly. By the way, I love your humorous remarks so don’t stop because it brightens up some of the tedium that’s posted on here and I include myself in that.

Let’s not allow something as inconvenient as the laws of the game to get in the way of SFA officials doing their jobs properly.

Aye celebrity right enough. More like the Rev I.M.Jolly.

And to clear up any doubt, here's the image from the Sportscene discussion showing how Gogic is impacting JT's attempt to get the rebound.

I would read that as impacting the actual penalty kick, which it didn’t. An answer from IFAB is: The penalty kick is retaken only if the encroachment clearly impacted on the kicker or the ball rebounds into play and the encroaching player then plays the ball or challenges an opponent for the ball and prevents the opponents from scoring, attempting to score or creating a goal-scoring opportunity. Gogic clearly impacted Maswanhise collecting the rebound so it’s the second part that is relevant.

I like the away jersey but it would be better with the white shorts from the home kit and vice-versa. I do agree that it’s pointless as a ‘change’ kit because the sides we would normally change against we can’t really wear it. I would expect us to wear our first kit away against Aberdeen and Hearts but I’ve seen us wear our claret away kits against Dundee Utd in the past. We do have the option of the anniversary kit though.

That's a good point actually. The law, as now written , simply says " the encroachment clearly impacted on the kicker". FIFA failed to clarify do they mean impacted him kicking the ball?

Ab umd ssstssss. 🤣🤣

Cracking top. Personally Id have every Motherwell away top as white with claret & amber trim, but kit manufacturers are never gonna run with that as it would clearly effect sales. I already have one of those above with no sponsor and we have flirted with those colours a couple times since. (Vertical stripes / champagne versions). I do take the point with the colour clash though. Not sure what we do against Aberdeen / Hearts and Dundee United. Unless we wear the 140th kit?

Is that no' wan of thae anagram hings?

I said that we wouldn’t have won the game when a poster said at half time to wait and see where we were at the end of the game. And I was right about that. Artichoke Cholmondeley…. I was right

Plenty. Almost as much as I do on here to be honest. It’s a pity I’m not a troll because I would be pretty good at it going by the amount of bites I get from people who would try and pretend that they don’t care. I’ve almost got celebrity status on here come to think of it.

Another game coming thick and fast. I think the squad must be looking forward to the international break. It’s really needed for the players to get a rest, players to get fit and fans to regenerate their bank accounts. if we can get 3 points from the next two games I will be overjoyed but I think the best we can get is two draws…. Which I would accept happily as well.

0-0 is far too positive for you. We are doomed 🤣🤣

Aye all right Gok Wan 🤣🤣

He clearly goes towards the ball and impacts Maswanhise collecting the rebound. It should have been a retake.

Do you not get any attention in the house?

Exactly. All keepers, and indeed players, make mistakes and I accept that. My point is though that dealing with high balls is a weak part of his game. I accept that you can get keepers who are relatively small but who are great in the air. The late Jocky Robertson springs to mind. But, they are very much the exception. My knowledge of the English Premier League is limited, at best, but I do know that the Chelsea keeper, at 6-0, is the smallest in that league. He's an outlier. Andy Goram famously said that he didn't do cross balls, because of his height. He was an exceptional shot stopper and that was his role. To compensate for that, Rangers had 2 full backs whose job was to prevent any crosses. In the unlikely event that the opposing team managed to get a cross or corner in, then they had 2 huge central defenders whose job was to protect Goram. Last season, JBA's approach was to retain possession to such an extent that it was unlikely that our opponents were unlikely to test Ward much in the air. This season I don't know if we've got this quite right.

Don’t think anybodies said they expect him to be error free so thats not the point… u don’t think we’re fragile from set pieces? if i was another team I’d be putting long throws, corners right on top of him

Roma ladies away strip would be better..

Fact Ricky Foster thought it wasn't a pen says it all

Yup Welsh and Moormann would be some combination

Watch the replay on Sportscene while they discuss it and you'll see Gogic met all those criteria. His encroachment allowed him to affect JT on the rebound.

Seems like there were plenty people saying the player who encroached interfered with JT getting the rebound. I haven’t looked close enough to comment on that.

That’s the best we’ll get. I don’t see where our next win is coming from. 0-0
