Just seen that Rangers pen. Clicked on a Scottish newspaper link so it wasn't exactly impartial comments below, but the lad could have put his arm down to break his fall and didn't and his elbow looked next to his trunk. Harsh one for me.

….he’s either dived head first to intercept a goal bound shot or he was pushed and fell forward. If its the former, I think it has to be a penalty.

Wow

Frank seems an easy going, likeable guy, wonder what's behind that?
Not nice to see that.

 

[larbert toffee]

We're crapper.

The truth hurts me but put like that it also makes me laugh.

Thought he was falling, myself. He's deffo stumbling, just looked again. Mad thing is, if he put his arm to the ground then they can't give the pen as they didn't against Garner earlier in the season.

The Mr Magoo nerds at Stockley Park get the Flasks and Butties out trying to find fault with us

Nice gesture from the mad man

I've heard of agents been told to do anything to get a professional athlete to sign with them, but this is bloody ridiculous!

Made me remember the incident with Calum Davenport for some reason.

Probably because sports agents are like parasites who only act in their own self-interest.
