Surprised that Griffith never dived ?

[eastenclosurebear]

When they brought him on, you knew it was last throw of the dice stuff.

There is no way that wee junkie is troubling super fit professional athletes like Goldson and Tav.

 

[HamiltonBear]

I would like to give Leigh Griffiths credit for absolutely %^*& all - wee ugly rat deserves to be on the park when we win the league.

I don't think he would be that bothered. They want shot of him and he knows it. It would be fitting to give it the big one in front of him though.

 

[justice1]

He thought he was gonna roll ball into net. Only reason he didn’t go down.

 

[Gloucester Bear]

When he rounded our keeper, I was fully expecting him to go to ground and give Beaton a decision to make. Lennon probably slaughtered him after the game for not doing so.

He would have dived if he was 'match sharp'

 

[Stevethebluenose90]

I’m stunned he didn’t hit the deck to be honest, was waiting for it. Little rat

 

[VelvetOrange]

Cant beleive the fuss created over this 'non incident'.
Usually i watch the game in full fear of 'borderline' decisions going their way.
Never even had a mili second of doubt with this one. So much so it seems , even Thumheid couldnt derive some controversy out of it.
Walker stoking up nonsense - and Ally fueling it (unbelievablyl.
Walker is a truly twisted wee fanny.

The Thumb can’t think that fast to dive, he thought he had the skills to round the goalie and slot it home . Oh well

 

[Balogun1]

Biggest surprise of the day.

A tie between that and Walker labelling it/them as ‘embarrassing.’

A ful hoose he would have dived, and he'd have got a pen.

 

[Texas ranger]

Back to basics 101 in training on Monday for him.

Thankfully, I watch GersTV from abroad and don't need to be subjected to SKY/BT/Sportscene etc. However, I am genuinely shocked the rhat didn't dive for a penalty.

 

[Dcalm]

Looking at the thumb, if he went down I don't think he would had the strength to get that weirdly shaped frame back up.

 

[monkey magic]

A ful hoose he would have dived, and he'd have got a pen.

I reckon so too.

As much as Walker is a totally pro-Celtc wank, when things are going badly, he will sometimes call a spade a spade a la Keevins. They must hate it when he does.

 

[Jan Wyck]

If it was a conscious decision to stay on his feet(and I have my doubts) then it is the only honest act the socially inadequate, obnoxious little racist has done in his miserable existence.

 

[nicecar]

He probably had the mortgage on Rangers winning 2-0.

 

[bLuE PirAtE]

If that had been Kent or Alfie running through I'd be wanting them to go down if I'm honest

 

[Bluethruandthru]

Scumbag Walker was adamant he should have made the most of it and went down!

Quality commentating when you are encouraging cheating!

Walker has always been of that opinion regards penalties.
Go back 10 years and I guarantee you will hear him make the exact same comments.

 

[the_baron]

He didn't dive because there was no contact, it wouldn't look like contact and he'd have been carded

A decent striker when he's on his game knows how to make contact.

Griffiths a couple of years ago would have been coming out of a situation like that with a goal or a penalty but he's played so little football over the last while he came out with neither.

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

It didn't stop Andy Wa#ker says he should have dived- an easy penalty he said. Sporting integrity and all that?

So what did Ally McCoist reply with?

Started off with sky. Telly buffered at 1-0 and ended on RTV.

 

[bigTAM weeTAM]

He DID try to dive but he missed

 

[Bermondsey Wall West]

I said in the pub that he’d get an absolute bollocking from TLB for jumping over Greegsy and not going down.

 

[petric]

There was no contact. A dive would have been obvious.

Filip had the angle covered, even if he did round AM and finish.

Helander also clearly had the attempted lob covered.

Id say dived is a strong word, if he hadnt diverted his run, then Mcgregor would have made contact - if that takes him down, its a pen in my eyes.
lucky he is as thick as porridge!

I wonder how Boyd gets along with him behind the since since Andy Told the nation he loves being called a fat orange bastard?

He's so unfit that his football brain was starved of enough oxygen to think of it even though he'd only been on the pitch for minutes.

 

[Gogso]

Hopefully get on well enough to boot his baws and keep smiling at him.

 

[daven37]

I don't think he is one for going down easily.

That said, I don't think he was aware Helander was getting back in time to cover the line and his touch was heavy although I think the way McGregor came at him forced him to take a heavier touch.

A fitter sharper Griffiths may well have scored that.

 

[ibrox1975]

Is it right he has a wife and a mistress and they attend games together?

this came from a Tim who supposedly travelled on the same bus as them last season and apparently its common knowledge and they are both comfortable with it

Oh and IMO he didn’t go down because he wasn’t intelligent enough

Well you can see what a good looking, charming, witty, indeed debonair young man he is.
I’m sure the two ladies he’s courting are also delightful company.
He’ll regale them with hilarious stories of stealing wine out of Tescos, singing racist songs and being a a multiple addict.

 

[Vader]

What it does show is that players shouldn't be getting penalties for those kind of incidents where they could avoid the contact, but force it to make their dive convincing.

 

[tazzabear]

Had money on himself to score , knew he wouldn’t take the pen.

That’s the answer for me.
If he were the penalty taker, he’d have went down.
Actually, to me, Novo had a similar mindset in that he took the best option for him to be on the scoresheet.

 

[Lossie Bear]

Walker said in commentary he would have went down. McCoist said the same.

What do you expect from him?
