Unintentional handball from the Killie forward 30 yards from goal, ball bounces up from his poor control and hits his hand, free kick. Not much different to the ball bouncing up in the Killie box off a defender and hitting his hand 10 mins ago, no free kick. Explain... Unintentional doesn't matter these days, it's hand in an unnatural position. The handball that was given was because the guy's arm was raised, the handball not given was because the guy's arm was at his side give or take. Edit: good win, some nice fitba, especially in the first. Really annoying that Wright didn't finish that one in the second, just took it a tiny bit close to the keeper and narrowed the angle too much. Our goal was great though.

Well the actual law states that "it is not an offence if the ball touches a player's hand/arm directly from the player's own head or body (including the foot) it is not an offence" so neither should have been given.

Would have liked to see us push on more and get the 2nd, almost like we played counter attacking football at home to Killie. Still, another win and another shutout! This. We should have won more comfortably than we did but seemed to ease off and let Killie into game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgindon Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) If you listen to Mcinnes interview after the game, he talks about "responsibility to manage the game" when we dont take our chances.Might have been better continuing creating chances to miss than letting Killie create the chances they missed https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/54134104 Edited September 12, 2020 by Elgindon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeeDon Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 A great goal to win the game and would have been nice to have seen Wright take his chance and make the scoreline look better and was a great pass from Watkins to set him up. We just look a better team with more balance in the team, but need to score more, which I am sure will come as I believe there is goals in that team. Having Hayes back has been great, his energy on the park we badly missed in his 3 seasons away. Have we got an agreement to sign McRorie or is it a loan only? I keep hearing conflicting stories and even this soon in his time I don't want us to lose him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Considine was up in their box with a few minutes to go. I hope he continues with this approach as we created the better chances with Lewis not really having much to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to whether this can be torn up should gerrard and co decide they made a mistake is another matter but Im presuming as he is on loan he isn't allowed to play against sevco this season?

manc_don Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 watched the highlights this morning, we looked pretty good and it was a very well taken goal. Wright was unlucky though should have got it on target. I really hope we dont change things too much with Edmondson coming back into the fold.

tlg1903 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Night and day between that performance and the one against der hun. The bench was ludicrously strong too, when Cosgrove and and Edmundson are fit its going to be the strongest squad we have had in a long time.

tup1 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 The Covid 8 nonsense changed the course of our season. Has led to a massive change in fortune, and got us shot of the useless Bryson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has led to a massive change in fortune, and got us shot of the useless Bryson. I don't think the covid thing had anything to do with getting rid of Bryson. He came on against St Johnstone (in arguably his best performance for us, which doesn't say much, but he did play a significant part in the goal), then he didn't feature anyway. I think the signing of McRorie had a big part to play, but also the change in formation (initially to match up against St Johnstone) which has allowed us to keep both Hedges and Wright in the team. Their movement is fantastic. You just have that horrible suspicion, especially with McGeouch performing quite well, that McInnes will break it up at the first opportunity because we're giving the opposition too many opportunities (even though we aren't, but they're getting a fair bit of possession in our half and there are numerous holes). Hopefully - as mentioned in the BBC article - this is where the pressure from the board will come in and McInnes will feel the need to entertain as well as get results.

BigAl Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Finally got around to actually seeing the highlights of the Killie game this morning. Actually looked a decent game overall and whilst we could and probably should have scored more, we could have just about as easily dropped a couple of points in it. McRorie just looking better and better with each game. Team has a nice settled look to it at present. Could do with Watkins getting of the goal scoring mark to boost his confidence but link up play looks really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
