I'd go further - falsely claiming injury to get fellow professional sent off.  Where that player is incorrectly sent off game changed to 3-0 win to suffering side.  Although, bizarrely that would mean Watt would need to stop his histrionics too...

 

Its almost impossible to tell if someone is feigning injury. Certainly in the case of Goss/Watt, Goss was struck by Watt's studs - the severity is up for debate. In my mind it would be completely unfair to penalise Goss though.

Yet again, PISH!
Watt hardly touched the guy, skimmed his leg at the worst case scenario and while play raged on and when it was stopped and VAR consulted the guy was still rolling about the ground, I noticed he made a remarkable recovery when the red card was shown, he was cheating, plain and simple.

He clearly lightly caught him on the shinguard too.

I know it is probably obvious from the shite you come away with, but you've never played the game have you?

 
Why don't we just have lively debates, rather than making absolutely everything personal/borderline bullying on here? If you disagree with me, fine, but why can't we just stick to the issue at hand?

In all the time we have exchanged views on this board you and others have insulted and belittled me on multiple occasions.

I have never once been been rude to you.

Au contraire, in a discussion I am entitled to suggest that your opinion is shite and that that might be because you don't know what you are talking about.  There is nothing in what I said, in the post above, that is rude.  I'll admit that I have been rude in the past and for that I do apologise but I do find your Asghar tinted spectacles somewhat offensive.  I stick by my view that if you think it is difficult to tell if someone is feigning injury you haven't played a lot of football.  It happens every week on the telly, player goes down like a ton of bricks or rolling around like someone has shot him.  Cue physio comes on player 'hobbles' off but immediately he crosses the line is immediately fit again.  That player was feigning injuty in 95+% of the cases.  Unless of course you believe that the magic sponge is indeed magic?

Like cricket where benefit of the doubt goes to batsman, in this instance benefit of the doubt should have gone to Watt.    To have it otherwise was mentil.   Beaton plays on, gets called back a minute later has to make the call pitchside, where presumably he didn't see all the camera angles and he was influenced by the fact that ivory tower twat had referred it back to him and he lacked the bottle to stand by his original play on decision.  Clearly there was doubt - no send off.    Concrete there has been doubt in the mind of el supremo twats in SFA.

On feigning injury, here in New Zealand and world Cup coming ahm forever hearing "Don't watch football - always rolling around injured"  - I'll always say (and I mean this with the utmost racism because they ruin our game) .... anyway I'll always say - nah it's just the filthy dagoes do that, we don't do that in Scotland.   Unless we use VAR to the benefit of the game and where a player is clearly feigning injury - offski, no two ways about it, simple. If not we become just like them.

Well Eh made a bit of a chunt oe it myself.

The incident happened right in front oe meh line of sight, and Eh thought that Watt had pulled oot and hudna touched the boy, but some of the footage shows Eh was wrang on the 2nd point, and Watts baet did come inta contact we the guy's leg.

However it seems that naebody can actually tell how hard it was, or how sare it was for the boyo that went doon.

But Eh think the boy was exaggerating. However Ehv nae phuckin idea what the rules to faking injury are in relation to VAR.
