It wouldn't have been a penalty, just a red. The ref gave the free kick, probably correctly, for Besuijen moving in front of the keeper which happened before the shove in the face. I don't think we'd have won had they gone down to four men such was the lack of anything remotely creative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright potential penalty award aside, you can't really argue we are getting the short end of the stick here. Similar to thon thug Porteous incident at Fester Road where again the failure of a referee to do his job potentially cost us. Actually, add in McGregor at Pittodrie incident and already I am seeing potential points that would have not only seen us safe but in the top six.

I can't remember which game, he dives a lot, but there was one extremely dubious pen given as Ferguson threw himself into a leg. Borderline ones would be Ramsay's one against some cunts, and the Morelos handball against the scum. I'm sure there are others that opposition supporters would point to. We only win, lose or draw by a goal these days anyway, so I'm guessing any decision in our favour has earned points. To be honest, I'm fairly comfortable with most of the decisions that have gone for and against us this season, apart from the Ojo one that you mention. That was outrageous, however it's also a very unusual situation for the ref to deal with (Glass' initial reaction suggests he didn't know what to think until he was told what to think either). I couldn't care less about the porthoose and stryjek type ones that can be cleared up after the game. There was nothing in our play that brought on either incident, they just happened. The McGregor one is a game changer that occurred because of great play by us, but I'm still not completely convinced that hedges didn't just fanny it and move his leg towards the keeper (I think I'm wrong, but I can also see how the ref would have got it wrong). The real problem with the counting up of decisions against us that I have is that it's lead us to VAR, which I think is fucking awful for a game that makes most of its money from fans attending the matches. It'll ruin my enjoyment of games significantly, and it's perpetuated by the idea that every subjective decision has to be absolutely correct. I don't think VAR would have overturned the Ojo red card, probably the porteous one. Hardly worth ruining the spectator sport for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
