Kemp Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I'll wait until I see it to cast judgement but we really do not want to see divers in the stripes. We might be shite but we can at least keep our dignity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Fitzy Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Arquin looked promising against Dundee Utd with his work outside the box, holding the ball up and laying it off. Don't think he'll score too many though. just doesn't get himself in those positions very often. Having said that, he is f**kin useless to us if he is suspended. He needs to get a grip of himself sharpish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isle Of Bute Saint Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 100% DIVE It's all very well saying he dived. Did he feel a touch because lets be honest in today's game when a forward has a single finger touch him then forwards tend to go down. From our aspect it's not good given our league position but I certainly would not give the player a hard time over it. When your down the bottom where we are lady luck does not tend to look down on you. On a brighter note County and Motherwell lost so still everything to play for. Bring on Thistle thankfully Thommo is back for that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave The Buddie Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 He missed another sitter today already on a yellow and he dives when we are 2 down. Get him to f*%k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leolovesstmfc Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I don't think his first was a yellow card in fairness but he did dive sitting right in line with it he dived. doesn't matter other results we gave them the game in the second half. Arquin look as though he can cause problems didn't deserve sent off at county played well against Dundee united and ridiculously gets him self sent off today. Now next game no strikers unless we play half indured Thomo up front. Just like to point out that we have got rid of several player's now signed 1 free transfer striker. waiting for takeover my arse board cutting costs again more like!!

Sonny Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Arquin claims (via Tealey on Sportsound) that the Dundee player stood on his foot and he had no option but fall over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidg Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) The first booking was a booking. Not convinced 2nd was a dive, equally unconvinced it was a penalty. Edited January 24, 2015 by davidg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Can see why Ross County released him. He has ability but his work rate and attitude are a disgrace. If he has dived I hope he never plays for us again. Ball has a better goal to minute ratio this season than he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donport Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Bottom line we are not good enough good chance today after going up one nil HT to push on against a fairly middling team GT is not the answer and our board need to get active in some way soon!!....back him or sack him!!

Drew Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Was right in front of us and my first thought was that he slipped as he didn't seem to be claiming for a penalty, so very hard call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum Gilhooley Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Don't think there's anything we can do either with it being a 2nd yellow?

Bart Simpson Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 First booking was for petulance, not excuses there. Second, if he dived my question is why? He cut back and from 8 yards was able to pull the trigger if he wanted so why dive? I don't know whether he did or didn't and I was about 10 yards away. Don't envy the referee's job but haven't a clue why he chose to if he did dive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidg Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 He's had a pretty we raw deal from the refs since he signed. Thought he could have won a penalty earlier in the second half when he was pulled to the ground when a cross came in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid Calder Saint Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Just back home and I have to say from my seat in the Main Stand I had a pretty good view of his first booking.Personally I thought it was an awful decision.Can't really comment on the second booking but why would he chose to dive in that position.The ref is s full time SFA employee and I said to my son in the early stages of the game I felt he had an agenda.Kenny McLean was being fouled from the back umpteen times and we never got the decisions.I felt also we had at least two good penalty shouts but the ref didn't want to know.

davidg Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Refs have a hard job, plenty of different opinions on here about his first booking. I sit in the main stand also and thought it was an easy yellow card decision from the ref. Similar challenge to the one he made last week. The second one however was a massive call to make. Again, differing opinions on here and he only gets one shot at it but he has to be 100% sure it was a dive to make that call. Judging by the reaction from media who have reviewed the "dive" it would seem he got it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garf Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I was convinced at the time that he just slipped or lost his footing, he certainly didn't seem to claim for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
