BBC Scotland's presentation of Aluko's penalty - the Pacific Quay Judiciary

[BrahimHemdani 1]

Hang on. If the ref had a clear view and gave it, why are they even looking at it? I thought the remit was only to look at things refs missed or issues of serious foul play. Shouldn't even be looking at it, especially when most other teams get away with worse week in week out.

 

I have watched it over and over again, stop start to make it like slowmo and I am still not sure. It is clear that Martin Hardie tries to stop himself and brings his two feet together, if there was contact at that point then it was very minimal. From behind the goals it looks like a balatant dive.

 

He can be charged with simulation even if the referee awarded the penalty.

If Aluko is to be punished for this surely the ref should face a similar fate ?

after all he awarded the penalty without hesitation.

 

The ref will be assessed by the supervisor.
