Lenziejag Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Well watching those highlights again, we had 7 or 8 clear chances. Erskine was fouled, before their goal, the keeper assaulted lawless and their sitter was offside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Could watch the 4th goal all night!! At the game yesterday I though the goalie should have walked for the Lawless incident but highlights make it look 50/50 to me....Jackie in papers today saying he hopes to have Lawless back in a couple of weeks. Tad optimistic I would think! Edited January 20, 2013 by Lindau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenziejag Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I think if you look at the incident again, the keeper launched himself forward towards the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tad optimistic I would think! i agree with you about the keeper, I was convinced he 'done' Lawless, but in the highlights I think it was definitely 50/50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClydebankJag Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 If a defender jumped in like that to win the ball would he walk away without a card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Earl of Hathaway Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Erskine's second, the fourth goal. Unbelievable, and I was there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SussexJag Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Highlights great. Should be compulsory viewing for anyone daft enough to think that berating Erskine is good judgement. Cant think of any Jag in my supporting life who could have got the 4th - Chic might have done the finish, but not beat the man at that pace; people like Buckley might have beat the man, but not had the finish. Reminds me of a Larsson goal when Celtic beat Rangers 6-2 but this was actually harder to execute. Magic stuff. Sadly he'll be signed soon!

Members Willjag Posted January 20, 2013 Members Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Highlights, definitely Erskines second and Forbes pass to Bannigan. Alston's pass for the missed Falkirk chance was also a belter of a pass. Don't think Taylor was offside as I believe he was behind the ball when the pass was played to him. Feel even more now that the Lawless incident was 50-50, the keeper ducks a little, fearing injury as well and unfortunately for Lawless, that's what does the damage to his jaw.

Lin1876 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Not quite sure how Morton got three points yesterday going by these highlights!! http://www.livingsto...0113/livitv.php That's the difference between the top teams and good teams. What Morton do isn't pretty, but it's effective, which is pretty much the opposite of what Livingston do. Onto our match, the McGovern incident was 50/50 and Lawless was just unlucky to be on the wrong end of it. As for the Erskine tackle leading up to their goal, I screamed "foul" when it happened and stand by that, but if it was the other way I'd say it was a fantastic tackle. On another day, Lawless would be fine and the foul would have been given, but that's football. Erskine's second... what a goal, gets better every time you see it! Up there with Forbes' screamer against Dunfermline and I don't say that in vain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Blues Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 What can I say ? It should've been an 8-2 scoreline if all chances had gone in. It looked a good game. How many Fans attended ? The 4th Goal was a very well taken effort with the lead up to the lob just fantastic. Even Messi would've proud of that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggie Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Noticed that the ref was in an excellent position to judge whether the tackle on Erskine was good. I can't tell given the camera angle if the tackler contacted the ball. He did catch Erskine and sometimes that overrules whether the ball is touched, yeah? As for the debate re Erskine, I think he is even better than my hero McQuade, tho' for entertainment, I'd call it a tie. He is McQuade with a turbobooster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willjag Posted January 20, 2013 Members Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 They changed the tackle from behind rule a few years ago because so many forwards were getting bad injuries because of it. You can make a tackle from behind as long as it's clean and you don't make any contact with your opponent. If you take the ball and then the man, it should be free kick. Maybe the ref judged it to be from the side and thought Chris made a meal of it. (he has taken the odd dive now and then let's be honest!) If the ref looks at the highlights, I think he would realise he boobed. In the heat of the moment you don't always see it the same way as everyone else.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Cracking coverage . I don't think the highlights are in any way biased when in the last 30mins they show just the one serious attack on goal by Falkirk. Willjag mentioned the Forbes pass to Bannigan earlier today and I couldn't mind it being that exceptional. I certainly stand corrected. Erskine's second just as great as I thought at the time. I can see a few heated arguments as to whether it was better than O'Donnell's against the Pars. Undeniably it's another fabulous goal.

jaggy Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I didn't think it was a foul on Erskine at the time & still don't think so. The worry is what happened to the defence, where was Sinclair? That said it didn't matter in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willjag Posted January 21, 2013 Members Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Sinclair was on the charge down the other wing. Looked to me like Chris was looking to play him in when he got caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Great highlights. The Falkirk defender made a pig's ear of stopping Balatoni's header. Craig was unlucky a few times. Erskine: one of those days when he's just terrific to watch. Maybe he didn't celebrate his first very much, but I laughed out loud at his grin and posture ("How great was that??") after he scored his second! Also good to see the Foxmeister looking on form. If only we could do something about our poor away form..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel G Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Subs behind the goal celebrated as soon as it left Erskine's boot. Still think the keeper had no interest in getting the ball and if that had been 2 outfield players in the centre circle would have awarded a free kick.

kennymac29 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I have to admit I was completely wrong blaming erskine for their goal. Didn't realise how far out he was and we had plenty of players around to shut Falkirk down. Agree with the above that the Falkirk player should have done much better on the goal line for the first.
