@andrewthomson14@MidlandScotsman@JamesMurphyTips It actually hit the short sleeve, and the footage shows the sleeve moving as the ball hit it.
As they had said, had it been lower, it was a penalty.
But it wasn’t. And the Independent KMI Pundit panel agreed it wasn’t a penalty.
@themononokean This is why Hearts lost the league.
They couldn’t take enough points (5/21 pts) in their last 7 games whilst Celtic took full points (21/21) from their last 7 games.
@BBCSportScot 100% NOT a penalty.
Clear tackle takes the ball and is cleared immediately by another defender.
Striker then chose to dive to try to win a foul.
Standard Rangers, Always Cheating!
@BBCSportScot Defender plays the ball
Attacker kicks defenders leg and falls.
Another defender clears the ball.
No penalty. Clear as day.
More a dive than foul.
@CWN1967@TheRefsView Any player who falls and ends with their arms splayed like that is trying to fool the referee.
Should be an automatic Yellow card.
@PaulCampbe45668@callion_chris@TheRefsView Your factual description is not actually factual.
He ball moved infield and into the path of the other defender who cleared the ball as the striker fell over the outstretched leg of the first defender. The ball was not in the attackers path after the defender touched it infield.
@PaulCampbe45668@TheRefsView Defemder touched the ball and The ball moves infield, away from the attacker and into the path of another defender who cleared the ball.
Attacker fell over a stationary leg which was on the ground.
Ref and VAR called it correct.
@TheRefsView It wasn’t a clear penalty.
Defender touches the ball away and the striker fell over the leg which was already stationary and wasn’t put in her path.
@MidlandScotsman@andrewthomson14@JamesMurphyTips IFAB graphic was later clarified by FIFA who advised a T shirt line rather than an Armpit line as the shirt shirt sleeve was an easy visual indicator.
@ManpreetPTFC_V5 You have read Law 5?
Ref makes final call on all subjective decisions.
He clearly felt the attacker exaggerated any contact making it more a dive than a penalty
@SteelmenNews Helps your attempt at a point if an actual elbow was involved.
But it wasn’t.
Same challenge as rangers players put in on Engles in recent derby games, those weren’t cards either so is it only worth a Red if it’s a Celtic player, in your eyes?
