Bains Red

[Riodee]

Rab Douglas said it was not a red. Sportsound are saying much the same thing. Still a moment of daftness from Scott.

Edit. Skysport saying the same.

We should challenge it, but PH won;t.

Even Barry Robson said it shouldn't have been red, he thought McKay would have been too wide & too close to the goal-line by the time he caught the ball, and two defenders were heading for the goal.

Refs, though, have no alternative view of it & a few seconds to decide.....the linesman was also on the far side.

It wasn't a good decision by Bain though, unfortunately.

Apparently next season, that type of "non violent" challenge will only be a yellow....a sensible move.

Penalty yes, but red card No.

Do the DABs put £££££  in the pocket o referees, I know its not true but just seems that way, but it phucking happens far too often for my liking, every game they get a game changing decision (incorrectly).

Not disputing penalty just sending off.

I can see why it's given and from the refs position I can see why he gives and if it was the other way we would have wanted a red, but I did think at the time that the lad touch had taken him slightly away from goal and there was a defender back. The bigger thing though is why Bain felt he needed to dive in, surely he should stand big and force the guy wide!!

[Abdul Latif]

Ref made a split second decision and I can honestly see it was easy to get wrong, but that doesn't excuse Bain lunging in recklessly at all.

[WeighorstsWang]

He's taken it round Bain, he's an easy pass into the goal. Even with a defender being back, he cannot use his hands for a save. He's the last man at the point and its denying a clear goal scoring opportunity.

Red card, all day long.

Bain has to know that at 2-0 up at the start of the second half against a weaker team, conceding a goal is far more preferable to a penalty and red card. Maybe a more experienced keeper would have dealt with that situation differently.

[Riodee]

Disagree Wighorst as do most of the footballing community, Sportsound, Skysports, Rab Douglas,

[Riodee]

Agreed Cobra.
