Also, all our players should go on a refereeing course so that they know the rules and can talk to the ref in their language. Every industry uses certifications to help improve their staff, football has coaching and refereeing, why not get a certificate. They have plenty spare time.
On balance I agree about Tait's defending for the second, but he was run into a crowd of players and blocked off from making any challenge before the shot was made.
The forward players need to commit more, they played the ball across the 18 yard line to each other then laid it back for the left back to blast over. We should be looking to play forward, not back, have a go.
It's hard to say conclusively that no part of the ball was inside the box. It's comparable to when you see a corner kick taken with just a slither of the ball hanging over the quadrant. Any part of the ball inside the box should mean it is inside?
McHugh's second yellow wasn't the violent close to a straight red that has been suggested, it was a robust challenge but unfortunately that sort of challenge sometimes gets a yellow. This issue was the needless first yellow.
Dunne, I have no idea if he clipped the boy.
We must have had about 60% possession but did very little with it.
No extra time in the earlier rounds, County used their 4th sub before we did, did any of yesterday's games go to extra time?
Eta, Dylan Mackin was a 4th sub last night, Falkirk had used theirs first.
If he was on the edge of the box behind the striker he would only be 6 yards back. But as the goal was scored direct from the spot it is unlikely that the ref would award the re-take.
