Rules are along the lines of interfering with an opponent by: preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or challenging an opponent for the ball or clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent or making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball Even though commentators said it was a great bit of skill, didnt seem like the header was an attempt at goal. Griffiths did seem to go for the ball but wasnt able to reach it. All open to interpretation I guess. It was jammie but delighted with the point no matter. Celtic goal was a fluke but it wouldn't have happened if May hadn't given the ball away in middle of the park. Glad to see Kane get his goal. I have always said he should be our main striker.

HOODLUM65 Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Yep. Not offside. Don't think Zander would have reached it even if Griffiths wasn't where he was. Best option would have been for Zander to collide with Griffiths. Even then, as someone said, Ref. would probably have awarded a penalty.

Would like to see CD's post match interview regarding the yellows (or lack of). He'll no doubt get a fine, but someone has to bring Brown into line. Hopefully his last season. Stats show Celtic 14 fouls 1 booking Saints 8 fouls 5 bookings.. even the commentator on Radio Scotland questioned why we got a couple of the bookings! Reinforces my belief that Brown will never be booked for his first offence as he’d be getting sent off every week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have to be offside when the ball is played and if you look at the point the header was made he was outside the 6 yrad box heading towards goal. Even the Premier League VAR wouldn't have given that; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know the stats but I would reckon more than 50% of Browns bookings would be in Europe were they don’t put up with his thuggery as much.

They had plenty of time to show where Celtic went wrong in the game but not a mention of a Saints player going off very early in the match after Browns thuggish behaviour that he gets away with week in week out. Can anyone remember who Brown did the same thing to at McDiarmid? Im convinced it’s a ploy of his. Nasty b*****d!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Such an impressive performance from Saints. I think if you were watching that without knowing which team was which, you'd struggle to be able to tell which team was the one with multiple titles behind them and which team was the huge underdog. Certainly it helped that Celtic looked very low on confidence, but it still needed Saints to take advantage of that situation and I actually felt gutted at the end that we only got one point instead of three. Our passing was crisp and fast and our players looked fit and energetic. It really feels like our whole squad has upped the fitness levels this season and we're seeing it on the pitch. So pleased to see Kane get on the scoresheet too. Hope MOH isn't going to be out for too long, as I think he has a big part to play for us this season. south inch, Coltrane and Wendy Saints 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintJet Posted December 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Outstanding effoert and like evryone I was dissapointed not to get the win. What a flukey goal. Special praise to Zander - he's taken some stick from fans but he is a top goalkeeper and thrives on confidence- with our defense looking solid he is far more accomplished. Great to see Kano getting a goal too - I think he should start every week. Get a contract extension done now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny B Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 MOH claiming Brown kicked or stood stood on him while he was on the ground. Looked at the game on saints tv (20 min on the clock) not conclusive but someone has a go at Brown in the aftermath. What a thug who gets away with it AGAIN. dunkeldneil and RandomGuy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a clear stamp to take a dangerous player out the game. Seeing Brown's career end with him being vilified by the Celtic support as they "lose" 10 in a row is exactly what he deserves. dunkeldneil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Good result ,should have been 3 points but that's the story of our season. We should really be in top 6 but it is unbelievable that there is only 5 points between bottom 6. Achieved the result without 4 of our top players so that's s big plus. Congratulations to Gordon who must have been buzzing captaining is home team to their best result at parkhead for years.

Even the Premier League VAR wouldn't have given that; Griffiths had no more idea of what was happening than anybody else, it was simply a clear candidate for the luckiest goal of the season and on a par with the mythical goal Dallas gave against us years ago that even the Celtic players didn't appeal for.

It’s not the bookings he got wrong so much as the non bookings of Celtic players he got wrong. I can think of Christie and Griffith off the top of my head.

I can't think of a Saints player who didn't deserve a booking and I couldn't think of a Celtic player who should have been booked. Stumpy's came up with a couple but I can't remember those incidents....granted, I've only watched it once on a random stream. I suppose my overall point was that we (all fans) moan about refs all the time but when you look back they get more right than they do wrong. I would guess he made the least mistake of anyone on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched it a few times and Griffiths definitely looks like he was in an offside position when the ball was headed however he wasnt blocking Zander's line of vision. If the ball dropped nearer him, even if he hadnt touched it he probably should have penalised for being offside but unfortunately it was a fluke and sailed over them both. So deemed not interfering. Terrific result but need to work on holding on to a lead. Really pleased for the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
