Richard Gordon anti hibs bias shone through on sportsound. Said hibs loved a penalty. Wouldn't dare say that about the bigot bros or Aberdeen or Hearts for that matter. I lasted two minutes in listening to it after the game. Soo bad.

What team doesn't love a penalty!

That's two pens in a space of four days that we've been more than lucky to get though.

[Libby Hibby]

Enjoy the dodgy penalties whilst we can.

They’ll soon dry up.

[MartinfaePorty]

Coming from someone who's an Aberdeen fan, he should realise how many pens they got last season. It was one of the reasons I chose Ferguson for my fantasy team, but I'll be selling him shortly!

Also, discussing Celtics draw, they said that leaves them 6 points behind Rangers, 5 behind Hearts and 4 behind Motherwell.

I assume their game was first shown and therefore they didn't want to spoil our result if you didn't know it.

I haven't watched it mind you so could be wrong

Match of the day end with the rocket launching skit for Fernades pen was a bit much. Can you imagine if that was Morelos😂 The Rangers would be refusing to pay their tv licenses and tax bills.....again

I find it interesting when you listen to the football daily stuff on BBC, and they often joke about how Mark Chapman, in a similar role, isn’t allowed to express an opinion on anything, then you get Richard Gordon up here talking over the guys that are actually at the games with what he thinks has gone on…

Handball offence occurs when player
“ touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger. A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation. By having their hand/arm in such a position, the player takes a risk of their hand/arm being hit by the ball and being penalised.

McCart has his arm up in front of him when it hits the ball. Clear penalty. Sportscene “experts” don’t know what they are talking about. The whole analysis was trying to show mcCart as the innocent party. Red card all day.

St Johnstone are like Aberdeen of old. Think they are the bees knees and harass the officials all the time.

Great result but hard to watch.

It's never a penalty, come on. We got given it and that's fine. It happens. But there's no way in the world that McCart has his arm anywhere other than across his own body which is a natural position.

[Brunswickbill]

Rules are rules whether you like them or not. Why do defenders now approach forwards in the box with their arms behind their back? Did you see the free kick given to Hertz against Livi on Saturday where it was kicked into the wall and hit the defender’s arm defending himself from injury. Free kick given where wall had been placed. No argument. No discussion.

Read the rule. McCart had his arm clearly up in front of him. No need for it to be there. Deflected the shot. Foul . Penalty. End of.

Don’t want an argument but why do we carp about getting a correctly awarded penalty when St Johnstone players and fans would be celebrating if the situation was reversed?

[heretoday]

Richard Gordon is a greaseball.

I think not giving us two penalties beforehand helped his decision

The key words are unnaturally bigger it didn't if his left arm was in front of his body.

His hand didn't make his body unnaturally bigger though. I'm absolutely delighted that it was given but it definitely wasn't a penalty.

Actually, fair point I was thinking about a comment made ahead of our match.

How does putting your arm out and up in front of your body not make it unnaturally bigger. If you put your arm out to the side it’s a penalty and it’s a penalty if you do the same at the front.

Exactly. McCart's arm was out in front of him when Boyle shot. I don't see how folk can say it definitely shouldn't have been awarded.

[bigwheel]

What’s the laws of the game regarding arms at penalties now? Was it technically the right decision or not ?

It never hit his outstretched arm though, it hit the arm tucked into his body.

[Heisenberg]

Never a penalty and to go along with the one we got on Thursday it’s certainly been a lucky couple of games refereeing decision wise.

When the ball is struck, McCart doesn't have either arm tucked in.

Can guarantee we aren't getting any of that luck in our next game at Ibrox.

Even if the ball would have clearly hit his body. Impossible for defenders if they aren't able to have their arms outside their body or within their body shape.

That’s not how it works. When the ball hits his arm it’s tucked into his body. It’s not a penalty.

No it's not - watch it again. His arm is outstretched in front of his body when the ball hits it - he then tucks it in.

He's also side on to the shot, so if his arm wasn't outstretched the ball would either have went past him or hit his other (also outstretched) arm.

It's a penalty.

And he corrected himself and mentioned Hibs a few milliseconds after his initial error so let's not get too upset about it.

[TrinityHibs]

I've now watched the replay about a dozen times. Each time the referee gives a penalty so its a penalty. If he doesn't give it then its not a penalty. It really isn't hard.
