He didn't say that. He said he wasn't sure that there was a touch on the ball and Hibs could have no complaints over the decision.Watched a recording of last night's Sportscene with interest particularly the St Johnstone v St Boo game.
St Johnstone player, Callum Hendry, had to re-take his penalty as the ball had moved slightly before taking the kick. He had scored with the first but a re-take was ordered and he duly scored with the second.
Pundits discussing it and Thompson says, "there was another game recently where the ball had moved off the spot" but none of the "pundits" could remember which game it was but they could remember the kick wasn't re-taken.
We all know which game it was and we all know who the referee was.
Edit : I also noticed that the pundits didn't discuss the claim by Aberdeen for a penalty when O'Riley jumped into Ferguson and the commentator even mentioned that the bheast wasn't even looked at the ball when he jumped into Ferguson.
Stewart of course was right on message about the Rangers penalty "I'm not sure that's a penalty" despite Thompson saying that prior to the programme they had been looking at it many times.
OKay so I may have paraphrased Stewart but I didn't make it up. from what I remember he definitely said the words "I don't know" whether that was in the context of getting a touch on the ball or conceding a penalty the two aren't mutually exclusive. If he wasn't sure if there was a touch on the ball then why would he also say "I can see why the referee gave it", I didn't make that bit up.He didn't say that. He said he wasn't sure that there was a touch on the ball and Hibs could have no complaints over the decision.
Stewart is a fud but no need to make things up to highlight that fact.
