Good victory at a difficult venue. Very much so, terrific result. Wee bit unfair to say it's a typical McInnes performance, he's had them playing some cracking football this season, much as it pains me to say it!. Fingers crossed on Cortes injury. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why VAR didn't recommend the referee check it is anyone's guess. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 6,125 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 If the referee decides it’s a penalty then it’s a penalty sometimes they make mistakes just like managers like our manager who was almost caught out with his rotating his team look at the record books and you’ll find that the most successful teams only make changes when injury intervenes hopefully he’s learned a lesson . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil's advocaat 1,275 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 It looked as if his arm came out to an 'unusual' position, but that was possibly as it was struck by the ball, I'm guessing that's what the ref went on?. VAR check may not have made a difference, when you consider that Hertz penalty went to VAR. One of the Killie handballs was a stonewaller, and right in front of the ref as well. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's added to the game, having more subs, we've won a fair few games this season off the back of good substitutions. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by the referees logic here I could pick up an opponents hand hit myself in the face with it and it would be a red for them. It was a stupid decision IMO. Edit - to clarify I can understand the referee giving it as its hard to make that out during real time, my issue is with the VAR process and no on field review. With VAR the official's can get a meticulous slow down multi angle view of anything, how they can still miss the mark with 3 hand balls I do not know. Dickinson was dreadful last night, had a howler.

Barasic should deal with it better but 9 times out of 10 the defender gets a free-kick. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ref got that one totally correct. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree to disagree - I still think 9 times out of 10 the defender gets a foul there. 100% agree he should have dealt with it better. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if he fell immediately he would have got the foul 9 times out of 10, but not after taking the couple of steps. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
