I don't think Findlay and Cosgrove's second tackles were at all similar. Findlay got the ball and a booking. Cosgrove took the man out late and got a talking to.

This had passed me by, but Dundee fans had a wee campaign against McLean over his alleged Killie bias because he gave the penalty against Dundee that slowmo later revealed was a Jordan Jones dive.

So he may have been overcompensating, subconsciously or otherwise?
Anyway, don't listen to them Stevie, we'll always have Hampden ... :hug:
Haha, this is brilliant - Kilmarnock statement from last October following the Dundee whinge. :greengrin
http://www.kilmarnockfc.co.uk/Article?id=7881&ShowCatQuote:
The original correspondence from the DSA to the SFA and Mr Fleming expressing concern over the suitability of Steven McLean to take charge of Kilmarnock matches was completely baseless and cast unfounded aspersions on the referee’s character.
Me too …. I can hear him now … 'I well remember Third Lanark handing Clyde an absolute thrashing in 1953' …. nobody but nobody used the word 'thrashing' so brilliantly :greengrin
Still cant beat David Francey though, the daddy of them all and simply a brilliant commentator may he rest in peace :not worth
Ha Ha!
Well worth listening to again forgot that the jambos came on the pitch trying to stop the game after the second goal
David Francey always just said enough to paint a picture
No more no less
”It’s a driiiiivvvvvvvveee!”
I also forgot about Derek Rae a fine up and coming commentator went stateside for the 1994 World Cup and the MLS came back sounding like Denis Law :greengrin
HIBS v Hearts
Did not realise that Mcnultys penalty struck the post :confused:
Slivkas point blank header in front of goal
Slivka headers it onto his shoulder to take the pace off the ball :confused:
Stevenson gets booted up in the air by Uche -Stevenson kicks him back as he is falling- so McLean decides to dive on Stevenson
Stevenson and McLean booked
Fourth Official swears at Hecky
Michael Stewart disappointed at Hecky outburst
Motherwell v Dundee
Mickey Stewart all over David Turnbull Motherwell thinks he is the real deal
Get him signed up HIBS
Very disappointed that the BBC chose to ignore the punch in the face delivered by Tge Rangers striker on Aberdeen goalkeeper. Commentator says something like “caught him and now they’re both injured”. Aye right. Mind you the ref hardly dealt with it either.
Editing of that show is a shambles selective focus. Apparently hecky should be reported while defoes assault on Aberdeen goalie ignored. Same as Scott brown fouls ignored total joke with the usual protection of old firm players. Rangers penalties both a total joke.
They neglected to show the stone wall penalty on McNulty.
I find sportscene’s coverage of every game bar the old form to be not a fair reflection of the games at all... tired of the first ‘highlight’ being around 20-30 mins into each game, while there are countless points worth discussion before the first shot on goal! They just gloss over most games’ important points to give more time to the old firm... it’s BBC Scotland for effs sake not BBC Glasgow!!!
What was their take on the ‘penalties’ awarded to the hun?
I noticed in the last Derby at Tiny they did not even mention Daz wiping out Haring
Play on! :greengrin
Aye I felt they brushed over it, sky sports news showed it so thought it would be discussed. Disappointing as it was a red card to me, got a history of injuring keepers, lovely lad and great pro plus all the good work he does with charity but undermines that a little with these antics.
It was a great tackle but I thought the guy was absolutely shambolic for the rest of the game.
On another day his howlers alone could have been punished by 3 or 4 goals.
Maroon defenders need to focus on lumping the ball up the park to whichever journeyman target man they happen to have in their employ at that time, and leave playing football to people who are capable.
