I thought at the game that the penalty was a bit soft but I haven't seen any replays yet and sometimes they are not conclusive. One which I thought was in no doubt was the goalkeeper's one on Boyd which was deemed not a penalty, much to my surprise. I missed the one where Miller was supposed to have had his jersey pulled so it will be interesting to see if that is shown tonight. As regards the two sending offs, I did not see the incident very clearly with Mendes and the Falkirk player but I thought Papac deserved to be sent off as he never remotely looked like getting the ball and when he went in to the tackle, with his wrong foot, he was always going to bring the man down. If the Falkirk player had not been brought down he had only Weir to beat and we saw how quick Weir was on Saturday. Everone goes on about this stupid last man rule but the referee has the right to send players off for violent and deliberarate fouls wherever they take place and this was one of very few he got right. |
