Off The Ball

Cosgrove talking about Liam Craig getting elbowed in the throat? I never watched the match, did it happen? He never mentioned who provided the elbow

Marv?

[Johnny_Leith]

I've seen it today, at the game it looked like an accidental coming together, however it's a red and it should be a retrospective red.

Grudgingly. Said naw initially and then said aye when asked if it was a hibs player that had committed the same foul

[Sauzee16]

Thanks for link guys.

[Johnny_Leith]

If it's accidental how is it a red?

I said at the time it looked accidental.

The footage shows it was not accidental, as Marv looks at him.

Edit - to clarify, I thought Marv has accidentally bumped into Craig with a shoulder barge, not an elbow.

Off the ball has been horrendous for a good 15-20 years. It’s been a hearts love in for the past few seasons too as it’s Cowans second team. Anyone listening should surely know what to expect?

[Broken Gnome]

What's our midfield without McGeough if injured, and a suspended Bartley and McGinn?

Bad timing.

[speedy_gonzales]

Just watched that Twitter GIF and it looks to me like Bartley's elbow digs in to Craig's shoulder, and it's Bartley's shoulder that smashes in to Craig's chin/face.
So to me it isn't an elbow, but a stupid and bloody clumsy challenge. Wouldn't have been surprised if that was carded last night but would be disappointed if that received a retrospective red.

Sure there'll be plenty people willing to do that. Not sure if you're trying to be funny, what's wrong with calling a red card a red card?

[Sauzee16]

I don’t think it’s a red. More of a shoulder barge.

[500miles]

Bartleys elbow goes into Craig's chest, shoulder into his chin. It was a bit of afters, but not a flying elbow.

[SaulGoodman]

If he's going to get banned for it he should've done a proper job and hit the heartless **** harder

That's a yellow, tops.

And if alston was a yellow then marv was a "no card" job

[Borderhibbie76]

And if alston was a yellow then marv was a "no card" jobCompletely this it's started by the anti - Lennon brigade on Twitter and if Bartley gets any retrospective action then they are opening a real can of worms

It’s already been mentioned on a few threads so no point picking up this poster. I’m sure the compliance officer will be all over .net.

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

Still waiting on laughable gettong a retrospective red for his sneaky look and elbow on Efe off the ball at ER. I saw it on the tv as well so no excuses for the compliance officer...

[BlackSheep]

That angle on Twitter makes it look worse than it was.

The reason no one (apart from on here and on ‘off the ball’) is talking about it is down to the fact that when you watch the events unfold further than a 2 sec GIF you will see that all 3 players are running at full steam and Bartley jumps into Craig to avoid a harsher collision... of course he looks at him, if he didn’t see him then the collision would have been worse... it just happens that Craig came off worse cos he was caught by Bartley’s shoulder and elbow.... to say there was intent is just being provocative. This is most likely how the officials have seen it at the time....

No need to dress it up any differently!

I like it and find myself laughing quite often at the content. I disagree with the hearts love in too as Stuart Cosgrove has been very vocal with his criticism of them over the few years I've been listening.

It didn't look anywhere near as bad at the game. That twitter video does him no favours though, based on that he deserves a 3 game ban.

Agree, it's definite red.

[McIntosh]

[McIntosh]

Agree, it's definite red. The fact that our players have been getting booted to hell and are protecting themselves seems to have escaped you. Never have I read any supporter ever advocating bans for our players.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

If it had been a st Johnstone player that had committed that and it had been missed I'm pretty sure there would have been a thread on it.

Everyone has an opinion, and rightly, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Football fans are fickle and will see what they want to see.

I started this thread because I hadn't watched the game and heard comment on the radio regarding it. Looking at 3 sec gif it looks bad. As someone pointed out that 3 seconds isn't in the full context of the run of play etc.

There are lots things that are committed against our players and committed by our players that are missed in the 90 mins or whatever. Refs get £800 to make a judgement call in a split second. Some are ****, some are corrupt and some are just plain human.

It was missed in the game we move on.

[Heisenberg]

The fact that our players have been getting booted to hell and are protecting themselves seems to have escaped you. Never have I read any supporter ever advocating bans for our players.

It’s called having a balanced opinion. Bartley has intentionally smashed into Craig off the ball in a dangerous manner. If a Hibs player is on the receiving end of that and the opposition player got off with it there would be absolute rage from some on here.

Very strange post. I'm a Hibs fan but that doesn't mean my impartially goes out of the window completely.

I commented on the match day thread at the time about the terrible treatment we're getting from opposition players most games, particularly McGinn but (I can't believe I have to say this as it isn't primary school) two wrongs don't make a right.

Really after this nonsense you need a three week ban from Hibs net.Yes, I need to be banned from Hibs.net for being impartial. It isn't nonsense at all. I have said based on the video he is deserving of any ban that comes his way, it looks really bad and totally pointless based on that video.

Smashing Liam Craig, who couldn't get close enough to any of our players to challenge them, in the face is not defending yourself. You have read it now mate. I don't want him to be banned but he should be.

[Argylehibby]

If you're looking to see someone who should get a retrospective red card look at the last action in the BBC highlights. St. j player literally boots Bell with no hope of getting the ball as it's already in his arms.

Watching that tackle in real time I felt there was nowt in it, it would be a sin if Marv got pulled just because Off the Ball and a Jambo prick put stuff on twitter !

Ok princess.

[snooky]

IMO, in that video the challenge itself looks dodgy and could (note: I say could, not 'should') be flagged up as a red.
However, if you look at the big picture, SJM takes yet another hefty challenge. Marv is only acting as his minder. 'You play rough with us, we'll play rough with you'.
Had the ref handled the game with proper authority from the off, there would be no discussions here or anywhere about Alston, SJM or Marv.

I agree with this. Let's remind ourselves that St Johnstone had 5 yellow cards playing against 10 men! What does that tell us?

Three or four of those were deliberate late tackles on Hibs players as we broke quickly out of defence and St Johnstone feared being outnumbered and outpaced. They were pretty cynical tbh with no chance of getting the ball. I actually think three of those yellows were for late challenges on McGinn including Alston's challenge which should have been a straight red I think most agree.

Marv would have been as aware as anyone of the treatment JM in particular was getting. He was reacting to Craig's cynical tackle on JM and his action is completely understandable in the context of the match IMHO.

"Elbowed in the throat" is a complete drama queen description motivated, I think, to deflect from the cynical nature of St Johnstone's tackling during the game.

[lord bunberry]

I don’t think it was. It was just two players coming together. If Marv doesn’t put his arm up Craig would have run straight into him.

Taking the green specs off for a moment, it says a lot that he did that gig for free. The club were in trouble, and needed to raise cash. From a Scottish football perspective, he saw it as important to help. That, for me, says that he looks beyond the parochial and the OF dialogue.

As a Well fan, he understands the pain of your club being in financial trouble, so it also displays empathy.

I think Cosgrove is okay. He was about the only one keeping a level head over the cup final aftermath when Cowan was screaming like a wee girl and isn't scared to criticise cheating clubs that don't live beyond their means. He's a bit blinkered on this issue but so are we all when it comes to our team.

I despair sometimes at the desire to intellectualise football. If you take crap jokes, parochialism, emotional ranting and ill informed opinion out of Scottish football you would be as well just shutting up shop now. The ability to self deprecate is an underrated one. Off The Ball doesn't claim to be anything it's not; it's petty nonsense and proud of it, I can't say I've ever heard too much to be upset about on it.

Of course there is a place for informed analysis in football but a light entertainment talk show isn't it. As with Sportsound it seems a lot of people only listen in to be annoyed, if you don't like it there's a simple solution.

[SideBurns]

I went to see the live version of 'Off the Ball' at the Fringe a few years ago. Great afternoon. Guests were BBC news reader Cat Shearer, and also Paul Daniels and the lovely Debbie McGhee. Random choice of guests you might think, and it doesn't get any less weird when you hear the story of how Daniels stopped Cowan being run doon by a tram when he was a bairn on holiday in Blackpool (no magic employed in the process). So if anyone doesn't like Cowan, you can blame the late Paul Daniels for the fact he has made it to adulthood......

Listen often on Saturday to the early and late show versions when I can and I enjoy them - don't agree with everything they say, don't feel I have to - seems to me they have fun with all and sundry ... one of the funniest parts of the show is when they read out emails from football fans complaining of bias ... hilarious for what must surely be obvious reasons ... :greengrin
