St Johnstone Red Card

[Dynamo]

Michael Stewart:

- Rangers pen wasn't a pen
- Clark's red wasn't a red
- Jack's yellow should've been red

Is that what he’s saying or are you predicting it?

 

[Realger34]

Kerryfail street will give you the clear answer.

 

[bornabluenose]

Two footed, high up and out of control, straight red.

Pen was harsh, but given the rules, it was definitely a penalty.

Jack was a yellow , he was low down , one footed and mistimed.

 

[Taverneeeeer]

Collum isn't a cheat, he's just a useless bastard, imho.

Agree. He had the chance to not award us a pen, not send off clark and send off jack. Especially after var asked him too look and he didn’t. He has never been a cheat. He has always been a useless wank though.

Correct
jack was a combination of st johnstone trying to even up numbers.and the yahoo snake rolling about as if his leg was severed

 

[douzpwa]

Back in the day would be harsh but today it was correctly and deemed a red if Clark was quick thinking he could have claimed he was Scott Brown and got off with a pat on the head?

 

[insanicdrunk]

I might have missed review, but I dont think it said that.

Just shown on Sportscene and its on the screen that it was VAR decision, with out Colum going to the monitor.

 

[bluenosebazza]

I hate to throw fuel on the fire…but just watching sportscene…is Jack’s tackle not inside the box ?

It was inside the box. It was inside the St Johnstone box.

 

[Bigbluebear]

Straight legged, studs up and catches Jack very high. Accidental but it’s endangering an opponent and a red card.

It isn't "straight legged". He kicks the ball and jack collides with his boot afterwards.

Was an unfortunate collision

 

[devilman]

Did appear that the decision was confirmed by VAR without the ref having to look. I don't get why people don't think it was a red. Clarke wasn't in control of his tackle, studs up and straight leg and high enough up. Straight into Jack front on as well. For me, it was a red card.

Jack's wasn't. The St. Johnstone player was coming from behind and Jack had already gone down to try get the ball. Not sure how much he could have seen of the player and the yellow was fair. Other refs seem to agree it was a yellow.

 

[Saturnblue]

It was a red.

It is about time Scottish refs start clamping down on hammer throwing.

Too much fouling is allowed in Scottish football that wouldn't be allowed in Spanish or Portuguese football.

 

[BobbyShearer55-65]

No need to guess which angle the chip-wrappers are going with ........

It still endangered an opponent wether it was unfortunate or not.

 

[Bigbluebear]

It still endangered an opponent wether it was unfortunate or not.

We would be raging at a red card for that.

 

[Macky]

We would be raging at a red card for that.

We have seen a lot worse against us

 

[DadosDado]

We would be raging at a red card for that.

Maybe you are right, but we have just as many ill-informed fans as any other club. Under the rules it is a red. No one can argue logically if the refs apply the rules correctly.

 

[Craigie]

Without VAR Gollum could have turned that game no problem

In what way?

Both the penalty and red card to Clark stood after the obligatory VAR review and he didn't change his decision over Jack.

 

[Lovenkrands26]

Just shown on Sportscene and its on the screen that it was VAR decision, with out Colum going to the monitor.

It was definitely Collum’s decision, all VAR done was back it up by agreeing he was right to give it.

They wouldn’t tell him it’s red, they’d say they think he should check it for being a red.

 

[Lovenkrands26]

Without VAR Gollum could have turned that game no problem

Collum gave us a penalty, gave us a red card without VAR intervention and didn’t change his mind on Jack when he didn’t use VAR and when he could easily have sent him off

 

[SURRENDERNO]

Just shown on Sportscene and its on the screen that it was VAR decision, with out Colum going to the monitor.

Colum gave him the red card mate then VAR made the decision about a minute later shambles

 

[GovanFront4]

VAR doesn’t have the power to tell the referee to award a red card. They can only tell him to go check it again. That’s why it’s strange that he never went to the screen if VAR was involved.

VAR is involved in every red card but you don’t need to go and have a look.

 

[Govanfrnt]

Clarke was off the ground, 2 footed, studs up and caught Jack a few inches below the knee. It was a red all day long. Jack was a very, very lucky boy not to walk too and I was shocked the ref went to see it again and didn’t send him off.

Really weird that it looked like whoever was controlling the big screens sent off Clarke.

I honestly do not understand how people can't see that's a red card tackle..I don't think the intent is there but you're absolutely right. He's off the ground, studs showing, knee high.

Collums a w**k but he got the big decisions absolutely right

 

[BWO]

Those saying it was harsh, this tackle on Jack wasn’t even given as a free kick and nearly ended his career.

 

[GovanFront4]

It will be a wonderful day when people understand the VAR process.

This, don’t know how people can’t understand it.

He gave the red card, VAR agreed so no need to go to the screen.

 

[Macky]

VAR is involved in every red card but you don’t need to go and have a look.

I mean if Collum didn’t think it was a red they can’t just inform him it should be and he shows the red. They would tell him they think he’s made a mistake and to have another look.

I presume Collum made the decision but just took his time about it then VAR obviously check and agreed. RTV made it more confusing because Tom didn’t realise he had been red carded.

 

[macaloon9]

Straight legged, studs up and catches Jack very high. Accidental but it’s endangering an opponent and a red card.

Sure. But all from a follow through on the ball when he was there before Jack. Other way round and I’m not going to be happy but of course pleased it went our way.

 

[Govan_Guy]

Just shown on Sportscene and its on the screen that it was VAR decision, with out Colum going to the monitor.

The VAR decision was to confirm that the Referee was correct in issuing a Red, the panel made a total balls up of explaining it.

 

[Bigbluebear]

It will be a wonderful day when people understand the VAR process.

The problem here though was the length of time Collum took to give a card. Was just a weird situation all round

 

[km_2083]

Collum got 3 things right today, penalty , Clarke straight red, not sending jack off.

Clearly Walsh on VAR wanted Jack sent off but even Collum couldn’t justify it when he went over

So on that, if the other two could have been turned over by VAR, Walsh would have sent Collum to the monitor

Rest of the game he was an utter joke & gave every foul outside the box the other way

 

[TN8]

It will be a wonderful day when people understand the VAR process.

True, but on this occasion I think the confusion is because it took Collum so long to red card him in the first place. It led people to think the VAR had told him to. Which obviously can't be the case.

Looked harsh, but have only seen it once, in real time. A Rangers player makes that challenge away from home and he is undoubtedly red-carded there and then without any further off-field intervention.

 

[BSPECIAL]

Collum was his usual hopeless sinister self. The sending off he didn't even blow for a foul. Strange decision didylook serious even on TV but that's the clown referee for you.Jack's yellow card,he couldn't get the card out quickly enough. He had a good view and saw it as a yellow. Fair enough call no matter what the fannies on TV and papers say. Hopeless referee plain and simple

 

[Carsons Army 2.0]

Collum that gave us the penalty, gave them the red card and also gave Jack a yellow without help from VAR?

Collin gave the red through VAR. He wasn’t given a red till VAR told him,

Few on here think he had a good game and was in favour of us

 

[Live Forever]

Two St Johnstone players run into each other and both end up on the ground and Collum gave them a free kick.
He booked Hagi after the St Johnstone no.34 told him to,then the St J no.34 applauded the decision and nothing was done.

Ridiculous decision that.

 

[Macky]

He didn’t go to the screen. VAR can’t tell the ref to award a penalty or issue a red card. The only call VAR can decide is offside

 

[Lovenkrands26]

This is not a thing ffs, the VAR cannot tell him to give a red card

 

[Lovenkrands26]

I’d rather be took his time and got it right then rushed it and got it wrong

 

[Lovenkrands26]

Few on here think he had a good game and was in favour of us

He got the penalty and the red card for St J right, what else do you want.

 

[Dynamo]

Nope

 

[Carsons Army 2.0]

Tbf I misunderstood what happened today then. I thought VAR gave the red and that’s why there was a delay between the foul and card

 

[Dynamo]

Getting the big calls correct isn’t favouring anyone, it’s applying the laws correctly…his job.

 

[Carsons Army 2.0]

Nope

Just posted. I misunderstood situation today

 

[Carsons Army 2.0]

Tbh he doesn't do that very often

 

[Lovenkrands26]

He just took his time to give it, could’ve been communicating with an assistant but as I said the VAR can’t tell him to give a red, can only advise him to check.

 

[Lovenkrands26]

Tbh he doesn't do that very often

This we can probably all agree on

 

[Embra Bear]

Firstly I think it was incredibly harsh. A yellow would have been adequate.

Anyway, what actually happened with the decision? Did Collum go check the screen? He didn't give the card for ages after the challenge. On RTV they seemed to think it was a VAR decision but didn't show Collum over at a screen or show any VAR replays like they did for the Jack one.

Nah it was two footed over the ball tackle that hit jack above the knee . There may have been no malicious intent in it but it was reckless and a red card all day long.
