Motm: Vs. Aberdeen (22 Jan 2016)

Who was your MOTM for the game against Aberdeen?

[CW 90+3 02/05/16]

Bain for the overall 90

Kerr for the time he was on.

No one else had a particularly good game.

[TheDarkBlues]

I voted for Scott Bain, because in the first half he kept the score sheet clean. Fantastic 4-5 saves that will have done his confidence the world of good.

Has to be Bain. Disappointing that his defence left him exposed time and again so that he was forced to produce a series of point-blank saves. He deserves better protection.

Bain 100%

Hate to agree with Sutton, but why was Bain stuck to his line? He made several good saves but could maybe have come off his line for them

He made the saves without coming off his line, surely that means he was in the correct position to make the saves,no?

Bain (IMO) made the right decision to stay on his line. It was the job of the defence and midfield to make sure that the attacker didn't have the chance to score. If I remember Bain did get a hand to it (which he probably wouldn't have if he come out) and nearly stopped it. It was shocking defending, not poor goal keeping that caused that goal.

[Blue4evr]

Not blaming Bain at all for the goal. That was more an error by McGinn who should have cut out Rooney.

So why are you agreeing with Sutton? He saved potential goals because he positioned himself well. Thats part of his job surely?

Chris Sutton embarrassed himself tonight. How can anyone familiar with the modern rules say that foul on Holt wasn't even a yellow card offence?

I think Old Firm footballers are free to talk utter sh**e because of their reputation in the game. Reminds me of Bonner saying the referee was right to give Aberdeen a last-minute decision against Dundee because it would send the home fans home happy.

I couldn't believe half the things this man said tonight. If this is the best that BT sports can dreg up, then I believe they need to have a rethink. He couldn't even take a joke tonight, or understand that the other commentator was pulling his leg a little.

The high kick (raising the foot above waist level) is another act that may, or may not, be dangerous play. Determination must be made as to the proximity and danger to an opponent (or in HS rules – any player).

The opposite of a high kick is the low header.  This is the situation when a defender dives with his/her head in a low position to contact the ball but is close to an opponent who may be trying to kick the ball.  This is clearly dangerous play, but the Referee should always allow an exception for the goalkeeper who is attempting to dive on the ball.

I think that is clear in its self. Logan had shown studs and injured another player in the process. I think a yellow was right, and in some cases (other) ref's might have given a red for this.
