Thommo your starting to sound like a DICK !! Easy for us sitting at home watching umpteen replays from several different angles. I'm no great fan of Strachan but I thought his take on it was about right. There was a camera behind the goal line and from that it was clear that the ref's view of what was going on was partly hidden by the defender's body. Strachan also made the point that the ball clearly got deflected to the left which could have led him to believe that the defender had made contact with the ball. And as Strachan said,, the referee has to have no doubt whatsoever to award the penalty. Part of the trouble is too, that if a defender as much as farts near some forwards, they go down like they were hit by a juggernaut. Sounds like Strachan and Thommo were singing from the same hymn sheet. A conspiracy I suppose. Refs have a thankless job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it had been against us I'd have been screaming for a penalty, but I can understand why the ref hasn't given it. Hill touched the ball. I think he was very lucky to touch it and there is an argument that he's fouled Griffiths on the way to touch it, but he's still got the faintest of touches on the ball. The other aspect of the whole thing is that I really don't give two monkeys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougJamie Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Who cares Thommo can hardly go on and talk about Saints all day, its obvious his heart is still with us................ The guy that annoys me is Alan Preston- now that is bias pish, how can anyone that obviously one teamed be allowed near a mic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TPAFKATS Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I heard Thommo on the radio yesterday. Richard Gordon hooked him big time by waiting to get Thommo to give his view before revealing that Clint Hill had admitted that it should have been a pen.Thommo thanked Gordon before deciding that he would stick with his non penalty view. At this point Michael Stewart offered Thommo a shovel to assist with his hole digging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Gilhooley Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 With the greatest respect to Sir Thommo, he is talking out of his arse !! Hill challenged from behind , at waist height for a ball he couldnt even see and he takes the man out . If that had happened against us ,i believe this forum would have went into meltdown with shouts of Rangers bias . Sorry for polluting the forum with this vid clip , didnt know how to cut to the moment in question. Run it from 4.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted the two of them to get beat yesterday so I'm happy enough I suppose. Video replays will be introduced pretty soon. It works fine in many sports. In my post I didn't say whether I thought it was a penalty or not. I simply agreed with Strachan that from the angle the ref was seeing the incident it was impossible for him to be absolutely sure. When video replays inevitably get the green light, probably there will still be arguments. Maybe I should have said a bluey /green light in case I get accused of bias.

uhura Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I've got the same level of contempt for both of them, I was watching it as a neutral. I thought no penalty. I wouldn't have been surprised if the ref had given it. But I'd have categorised as soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
