Tomoki’s Van Vossen moment

 

[Bridie Bhoy]

2 bookings for St J once we start playing added on time. The MIB's tactics are so predictable!

 

[Docco]

Great win...not a bad performance from anyone tbh....

 

[Lubos left peg]

I still want to see that offside.

Tomoki’s Van Vossen moment

It was a great clearance over the bar! Unfortunately Iwata was trying to score from 2 yards out.

Ditto.

 

[Lubos left peg]

How have the TV company not produced the image. We scored about 17 goals today that were offside and within 5 seconds we had an image. Where is the AJ image??

 

[boab1916]

Top of the league and GD level.

 

[The Shamrock]

It wasn't even close by the still of the replay I seen. AJ was at least a yard on....so who was offside??

Forrest.

Khun quietly settling into the team.

 

[Lubos left peg]

Forrest.

Fair enough. I haven't seen it Shammy. Thanks

 

[Magnificent 7]

That will do .......3 points.
By the way if those VARS were tomorrow the huns would have had a Pen for arm ball and
for Johnston see Tav ...Var says onside.
Result the Ranjurs 5 Saint anybody nil. Late goals we concede are ridiculous but that's where we are at....that's down to us.
Watch in contrast tomorrow as VAR makes sure the huns are supported.

Neither have I but that's what the commentator said. I'll see it for myself later......or not if they don't bother showing it on the highlights.

 

[boab1916]

Johnson goal offside Forrest and Idah also offside, Celtic TV lines.

I think you're right shammy. Just seen it. Forrest was offside V St Johnstone in 2013....so all good.

In a league where goal difference may come in to it we take off KYOGO who was as sharp as a tack. A bad mistake in my view. For us to have taken 5 or 6 off them today would have put the shivers up the Huns.

Idah does not give us what KYOGO does, a blind man can see that. I’m so annoyed at that. And when CCV came off it was a nightmare waiting to happen at the back. Without his strength and aerial ability with the players available today we are slow and weak at the back as shown by their goal.

And check out how far VAR went back to disallow the goal by AJ. It doesn’t happen to the Huns, ever.

We won, but it should have been much better and by much more…

 

[Starrynight]

VAR now chopping off goals for the sake of it.
Currupt to the core.

 

[Bridie Bhoy]

They went back far enough to find a reason to disallow another Celtic goal. We know that VAR would have done a hasty cursory check only on the final throughball to review a sevco goal before allowing it to stand.

I'm not saying it would have played the Celtic players onside, but IMO I'd have said the further away St J defender's foot was closer to his own goal line than the knee of the player they selected. Those few inches could make a difference when it is really close.
