Butland's booking

[Galstonian Oranje]

Never seen such a decision watching football. What was Walsh thinking?

 

[RAFBob]

How many bookings is Butland on?

 

[bullen an la]

Walsh knew exactly what he was doing

 

[Davie Weir]

Did the linesman give it? Or did he just change his mind when he saw the man down?

Certainly didn’t look like he was giving it initially. Joke of a decision either way.

 

[Goity]

Utter incompetence or cheating, pure and simple, should be demoted for that.

 

[Jan Wyck]

The booking of Jack Butland and awarding a retrospective free kick to St Mirren earns Walsh a win over Robertson, Collum and Clancy.
Some achievement.

 

[georgedoors]

Hoping st mirren score from free kick .

 

[Davie Weir]

How many bookings is Butland on?

Just the 1 I’m pretty sure

 

[Battle Fever's On]

How many bookings is Butland on?

You thinking what we're all thinking?

 

[Craigie]

How many bookings is Butland on?

No danger of a suspension if that's what your thinking.

 

[RandyMac]

How many bookings is Butland on?

His first of the domestic season.

 

[Coisty9]

Quite simply outrageous. Clearly wins the ball by a distance then collides with the St Mirren player. A terrible decision from Walsh.

 

[greggakd]

Wasn’t even a free kick never mind a booking

 

[Davieblue1977]

Odd booking, Walsh just being a dick

 

[Kit_]

Gogic probably just edged out Nick Walsh as their MOTM.

An utterly incompetent fuckin referee.

 

[Ten Ton Tony]

Never seen such a decision watching football. What was Walsh thinking?

"I know this is a fucking joke of a decision but I have to do something to stop these orange bastards taking three points"

 

[HandsomeHead]

Absolutely comical decision.

 

[Ron Swanson]

That was genuinely one of the most ridiculous decisions I’ve ever seen

 

[Boab4]

How many bookings is Butland on?

Nowhere near 12 anyway

 

[Ten Ton Tony]

How many bookings is Butland on?

A few. Needs to rack up 12 to get a suspension at this point of the season so no danger of that.

 

[ianfgau]

What was he to do, not challenge for it? Disgraceful decision.

 

[Melanchthon]

Incredible cheating decision. He is a terrible referee

 

[yardie]

The wee guy just ran into big Jack, ffs!

 

[london_bluenose]

How many bookings is Butland on?

What are you suggesting? Given the threshold for a suspension is 12 bookings, Butland is nowhere near it.

 

[RAFBob]

Just the 1 I’m pretty sure

I hope so, because I can't honestly think of an actual reason for that booking other than to add to an accumulation.

 

[Coza]

Quite simply outrageous. Clearly wins the ball by a distance then collides with the St Mirren player. A terrible decision from Walsh.

The St Mirren player technically runs into him. It was a foul on Butland clearly for me.

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

Why didn't the St Mirren player pull out of the challenge after Butland played the ball?

 

[permatan]

I know we can't call out every decision against us, but this was on another level.

There was nothing subjective about this. The player came in late on a goalkeeper and won a foul and a booking.

You could spend years trolling through video archives and never find a similar decision given

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

Even considering that a foul from Butland is outrageous

 

[Superted 1872]

I mean honestly without being dramatic you couldn't say anything other than it's an attempt at match fixing

There is no grounds at all for a booking

 

[insanicdrunk]

When you see it again its comical, its not even a follow through, the player runs into him well after it is cleared!

 

[Blue bells are blue1872]

Imo.He was thinking how can I give St Mirren a gaol scoring opportunity and avoid any close scrutiny that my giving a red card would attract.

 

[Sherbet Dab]

I’ve said enough on the match thread, I’ll leave it at that, don’t want a ban, fucking fuming at that, we really need to get our act together and start making these fucking arseholes life uncomfortable with decisions like that, out and out cheating.

 

[Gordy Boy]

Totally paficying the crowd. A brass neck.

 

[RAFBob]

No danger of a suspension if that's what your thinking.

Exactly my thinking, no idea why else he was shown a card for something that wasn't a foul.

Terrible refereeing.

 

[Deejj206]

Ridiculous booking an absolute joke

 

[1BrianLaudrup]

Did the linesman give it? Or did he just change his mind when he saw the man down?

Certainly didn’t look like he was giving it initially. Joke of a decision either way.

Replay made it look like Walsh turned away initially, then must have decided to do something.

 

[london_bluenose]

The St Mirren player technically runs into him. It was a foul on Butland clearly for me.

No it's not a foul on Butland. It's not a foul at all.

 

[GovanFrontLoyal]

A jumped up sleekit wee c*nt is Walsh.

 

[Tinman73]

St Mirren player tried to take out Butland and came off second best!
Shocking refereeing

 

[Gibby926]

It was a scandalous decision

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

How many bookings is Butland on?

that's his first in the league this season.

 

[Los Pollos Hermanos]

Cheat.

 

[Raymond]

Outrageous decision....not ran into him....don't think Walsh even seen it

 

[RAFBob]

Quite simply outrageous. Clearly wins the ball by a distance then collides with the St Mirren player. A terrible decision from Walsh.

Wins the ball about 2 foot before the lad runs into him.

 

[RAFBob]

that's his first in the league this season.

Mental that he gets his first booking for absolutely nothing as well.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

How many bookings is Butland on?

In the League, that would be his first. His only other was against Benfica.

 

[Ambiorix]

It was a nonsense. What was Butland supposed to do? Reverse thrusters after he'd cleared the ball?

 

[The Goalie]

Walsh seemed to turn away initially and play on , did the linesman or 4th official have a word in his ear. Embarrassing decision that the club should be calling out

 

[SJGF5]

Not sure it was the worst decision of the season, but it was absolutely the most insane.
