Drew Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Apologies in advance I this has been discussed elsewhere (I couldn't be arsed trawling through all the 'we are all doomed.... doooooooomed!' threads). Last night, Jordan Stewart was stretchered off after what was reportedly a horror foul by Mullen of Livingston. The latter received a straight red card, but because we had used all our subs, we were also reduced to 10 men. Now, surely this cannot be reasonable. For me, if a straight red results in the wronged against team being reduced to ten men as a result of consequent injury, they should be permitted to make a further substitution. Thoughts (and I am not thinking specifically about whether this would have influenced the match last night)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluto Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Fair comment. It would appear to be morally an acceptable thing to allow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 I agree with Drew. Ridiculous we get penalised by an act of brutality. Should have been allowed to bring on a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TsuMirren Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Subs were brought in to stop just this sort of thing. Nobody had imagined carrying squads of 25, with a large matchday squad then. Yet another thing FIFA should change instead of tinkering to turn this in to netball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billymehmet1 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Even if not suspended id be very surprised if Mullen plays on Saturday as he will get constant abuse and to be fair but chill gave him a rollicking when he walked off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickMcD Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 This makes no sense, whatsoever. I'm with you 100% It's effectively rewarding thuggery. Should be easy to change the rules and get it adopted. But just hold on ten minutes and some of our bright sparks will come up with a scenario where it could be exploited.

bluto Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Did someone mention 'bright sparks'...? It would be difficult to contrive similar circumstances - EG ensure a red carded tackle on one of your weak links whom you'd like substituted - but it would then be possible to bring on a better player. This, of course, would mean that the decision not to bring that one on earlier means you're an utter shite manager. This does appear to be an exceptional circumstance in which common sense should prevail. However, 'common sense', morality and the Scottish fitba authorities are not good bedfellows....

leolovesstmfc Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Think that the conduct of the Livingston player's got Goody booked and there persistent surrounding of the ref any time Goody went near a ball was the reason Goodwin had to be subbed! The boy Mcmulen should have seen the book long before the red card he got yet the referee gave him the benefit of doubt why not Goodwin? The injury to Watson was unfortunate and mainly down to new keeper new defender never having played together and as it would go both in the right place to clear the ball Unfortunate! But the challenge on Jordan Stewart was a horror tackle! It was not a late tackle it was not a necessary tackle it was a blatant act of of assault on a young player! I've seen the Tokley challenges that left a promising young St.Mirren player's career over. I can even remember the Horror challenge by Hearts Ian Baird that left Campbell Money with a metal plate in his head and again down to 10 men because we had to sub to replace the keeper! Yes the rules should be changed the team disadvantaged should be allowed to sub! That was the most intentional Tackle I have ever seen 3 game suspension for Mcmullen how long out for young Jordan Stewart? Seems St.Mirren are punished more for the Tackle than the other team!

Stuart Dickson Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 When Murray made his third substitution he knew the consequences if a player got injured. It was clearly a risk he was willing to take. Three subs in a match is plenty. No need for a rule change, just for fans to accept that their own manager took a risk that backfired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either you didn't, or you did, and failed to grasp the obvious point. I wasn't suggesting that a player simply being injured should mean that a further sub is permitted. The fundamental point is that an opponent has committed a red card offence that has resulted in the injury, and, as such, the wronged against team are left at a clear disadvantage.

The fundamental point is that an opponent has committed a red card offence that has resulted in the injury, and, as such, the wronged against team are left at a clear disadvantage. What the team down to ten men are disadvantaged? Now that really is quite silly... If you use all your subs and then get an injury that means you are a player down thats your call and bad luck... To make convoluted rules on the back of it would be pointless... What if said injured is feigning/cheating to get a key opponent out of the game?
