I assume griffiths dive has been airbrushed ?

[miraculous]

This for me. Whatever way you look at it, that was not a free kick. The penalty was soft but wasnt as absurd.

i thought so too - so why did Goldson not complain? I don't get it

He's gone down like a sack of shite for sure, but I'd have been calling for it if it was at the other end.

But it would never have been given, that’s the difference.

Kent getting wiped out in the lead up to the goal. Nothing! Madden was only a few feet away looking straight at it.

Yet according to Ally, great refereeing because he played advantage.

What this shows is that the narrative the earl haigs created way back with the refs strike is that a ref like Madden has to demonstrate that he is not anti-kaffkick/anti irish by being seen to be ’fair’, i.e. to ensure there can be no disputes about his decisions post game. If that had been say, Lafferty at Killie on the end of a slight brush, it wouldn’t have been given. In any event, it wasn’t even a foul by Goldson - he clearly got the ball. Yet another example of the pressure the earl haigs place on some refs.

It was very soft, if it had been outside the box it would be given, Griffiths was brushed but did dive, definitely down to the individual referee to decide on the day.

If he blows though its not a goal , and ally asked after the the goal 'did he book welsh'? And the reply was no, ally was expecting a booking and said so.

That part was good though, it was the no booking that wasn't; allowing the play to continue, where we had possession, was right.

Post game, BBC Gordon wanted to know why JA wasn't sent off for denying a goal scoring opportunity.

Any links to Aribos claim? Cant remember it and still not seen it

So not great refereeing?

by the media ?

Don't let it bother you m8. Just enjoy the fact they are pish.

Airbrushed. Griffiths?
Much like whoever's hair he has.

I don't think he refereed well, but allowing play to carry on at the first goal was something he did do well.
