Welcome to the next installment of the
0:15
Bone Cell Take YouTube podcast. And here
0:18
we take a look at the two faces of Joan
0:20
Bean as he desperately tries to give
0:23
decisions against Take on two different
0:25
occasions.
0:27
And we take a look at the decisions from
0:29
the latest VE review show against
0:32
Rangers and Malaw.
0:35
>> Celtic always a big fixture of course in
0:37
this one a Djon Sterling hand ball which
0:40
led to a penalty for Celtic.
0:49
>> Goalkeep. Yeah, that's what I want to
0:50
check.
0:52
>> Does it need a delay? Uh
0:53
>> yes, please. Delay. Delay. Delay.
0:59
Can I just check that please again?
1:02
I don't know. I don't know what got
1:05
absolutely no idea. There's a point of
1:06
contact.
1:07
>> So this Yeah. Check it. Check John.
1:09
Check if possible hand ball.
1:12
>> Hand ball. Yeah.
1:13
>> Yeah. So there and then arms out hits
1:16
his arm. Yeah.
1:18
>> Another angle for you.
1:19
>> That's good. And then the goalkeeper
1:20
saves it. So it's an accidental hand
1:23
ball, but the arm is out from the body.
1:25
Right, John. John, it's Stephen.
1:28
>> I'm going to recommend an onfield
1:30
review. I'm going to recommend an
1:31
onfield review for a potential hand
1:33
ball.
1:34
>> So, head onto the arm and then go.
1:37
>> Okay, so it's a clear penalty. It's not
1:40
He's not stopped a goal.
1:42
>> Well done, John. Clear penalty. That was
1:44
a right decision, but you were quite
1:47
quick to dismiss the fact that it could
1:49
have been a red card. Not even a double
1:51
look, not even a another check, but
1:56
let's see what else happens.
1:58
>> Correct.
1:59
>> Okay.
2:01
>> We we can't determine whether or not
2:02
that's clear enough. It's hard to say
2:04
with the position of goalkeeper.
2:06
>> I mean, at least the V guys were honest
2:08
enough to say h we don't know. But to
2:10
jump from going from I don't know until
2:13
we're beaten says it's not ascending
2:16
off, that was quite a leap.
2:19
Bye.
2:20
He's a He's not anti-eltic, is he?
2:26
>> I don't think you can be definitive on a
2:28
different angle to see where the ball's
2:29
going after because if he punches the
2:32
ball into the goalkeeper, right, go
2:35
again. Go one more with that.
2:36
>> He does, but the goalkeeper has his arm
2:37
out stretched. So, you I don't think you
2:39
can say for certain whether it's going
2:41
to go in or not.
2:42
>> Okay. So, I'm going to go penalty kick.
2:44
>> Yeah.
2:45
>> And we don't need a sanction.
2:47
>> Correct.
2:50
You happy with that?
2:51
>> I'm happy with that. Y
2:53
>> I think in all honesty, probably most
2:55
fans are happy with that. But then at
2:57
least they had a conversation about it.
2:59
And the interesting thing was instead of
3:02
speaking about the balance and saying,
3:05
"Well, maybe it was a handball. Maybe it
3:07
was a red card." He went straight to the
3:09
paint. They dismissed the red card
3:11
straight away before the discussion even
3:14
happened. But let's see what we allies
3:15
got to say about it. But the referee
3:17
goes to the monitor and he was
3:19
criticized, you know, about taking so
3:21
long to make a decision. When the
3:22
referee goes to the monitor here on
3:24
immediate review, he he immediately says
3:27
it's a penalty kick.
3:28
>> Kick. He immediately say it's a penalty
3:29
kick. Now, Willie, let's be honest. What
3:32
else does John beaten immediately say
3:34
right after that? Let's take a look.
3:36
>> It's a clear Okay, so it's a clear
3:38
penalty. It's not He's not stopped a
3:40
goal
3:41
>> immediately.
3:42
>> He's not stopped a goal. But his what
3:45
they then has to go into is saying what
3:47
color is a card. Do we need a card here?
3:49
Do we need a yellow? Do we need a red?
3:50
Do we need nothing? What's really
3:52
interesting about this club? You can't
3:53
be sure about Jack Butland saving it or
3:55
no. So the referee opts for nothing,
3:57
which we can understand. But maximum
3:59
here is a yellow card. Even if you
4:02
remove Jack Butland for the goal here
4:04
and this ball is guaranteed to go in the
4:06
net if it doesn't hit the hand, it's
4:08
impossible to be a red card because the
4:10
laws of the game are quite clear. To
4:12
order somebody off for a goal scoring
4:13
opportunity for a hand ball, it needs to
4:16
be a deliberate hand ball.
4:17
>> Well, let's take a we look at the ifabi
4:20
and it looks like we got this one spot
4:22
on. Well done, mate.
4:24
>> But for the goal here and this ball is
4:26
guaranteed to go in the net if it
4:28
doesn't hit the hand. It's impossible to
4:29
be a red card because the laws of the
4:31
game are quite clear. To order somebody
4:33
off for a goal scoring opportunity for a
4:36
hand ball, it needs to be a deliberate
4:37
hand ball. Let's go back to the phrase
4:39
I've used often. This is a punishable
4:41
handball, not a deliberate handball.
4:43
>> No mitigation for proximity or a natural
4:45
position of the arm.
4:46
>> The arm is too far out. You know, it's
4:48
too much an impact here. It's clear for
4:50
us. Um, and I think what everybody, I
4:52
would hope, would agree, we've been
4:53
consistent at punishing these hand balls
4:55
throughout the season.
4:56
>> Okay. of Scottish Premiership fixtures.
4:59
It's Motherwell's trip to Celtic Park
5:00
and a tackle by Alex Oxade Chamberlain.
5:04
>> This will be some laugh because Rangers
5:06
fans have been doing the fucking dinger
5:07
about this on social media overnight.
5:10
Let's take a look at what we say.
5:14
>> That's all right. Good defense.
5:16
>> Why he hurt himself?
5:17
>> Just caught him a we bit there. Do you
5:19
think it's any other
5:23
John beaten jump straight away asking
5:26
for the guys to look at a red card?
5:28
Surprise, surprise.
5:30
>> No idea, John. I don't know.
5:31
>> Yellow card.
5:32
>> Yeah. Let me see. So for me
5:37
there
5:42
show the so
5:45
it's high.
5:46
>> I mean well if the mother well players
5:48
are telling you it's high that must be
5:50
true then because they won't want a
5:53
player sent half for any other reason
5:55
than spotting fair play you right.
5:58
>> They'll check it.
5:59
>> Okay check it checking onfield decision
6:01
of yellow cards. So for me, Gary, it's
6:04
high, but it looks uh foot on foot.
6:06
>> I don't know, John.
6:07
>> Can we go a different angle?
6:11
>> Just above the ankle, but the main main
6:13
force is when it's it's put on boot.
6:15
>> So for me, you get on boot contact.
6:18
I know it's reaction
6:21
to be honest
6:26
anything but has been beaten willing to
6:28
take them other way players for it and
6:30
ask our guys to have a look see if was a
6:33
red cab almost immediately
6:35
>> he's in control it's no serious fail
6:37
play for me
6:38
>> so he has control of the ball uh the
6:40
foot is
6:42
>> top of the boot side of the ankle so for
6:44
me reckless contact
6:46
>> no speed or intensity
6:48
What was the yellow card?
6:50
>> Yes, 21 yellow card.
6:52
>> 21 Celtic.
6:53
>> Yeah, John. It's Kevin confirming
6:55
onfield decision. Yellow card. Celtic
6:57
number 21. For context, it's uh studs
7:00
onto the top of the foot. Reckless.
7:03
>> There you have it. Clear as day. But
7:05
does John beaten accept the decision?
7:08
>> Right. Okay. He's he's got a we mark in
7:10
his shin curve. It's definitely nothing.
7:12
Maybe just a glancing blow or something.
7:14
roughly translated as cony check again
7:16
because I want to send this guy off
7:20
>> there's a there's possible no that's
7:22
fine there's there's possible glancing
7:24
contact
7:27
>> correct
7:30
>> beating sounds if he doesn't even
7:31
believe what V are telling him to the
7:33
mobile players but I
7:35
>> he's in control
7:40
that one that's what he said that's what
7:41
he Yeah,
7:43
you've get you've get initial glancing
7:45
contact, but the the main contact is uh
7:47
boot onto the top of the boot side of
7:49
the ankle. Reckless contact. Excellent
7:52
communication. Well done,
7:53
>> Neighbor John. The communication was
7:56
that excellent. You asked him what is
7:57
it? Three times. If it wasn't meant to
8:00
be a red card, I mean, they explain it
8:03
to you, but you just wouldn't accept it,
8:04
would you?
8:05
>> What do you make of that one, Willie? We
8:07
know now what we're looking for, I
8:08
think, about excessive force,
8:09
endangering an opponent. You happy it
8:11
doesn't tick those boxes?
8:13
>> I think it's we would describe us as
8:15
sometimes a high-end yellow orange card.
8:18
>> A a fucking mut card. What is he talking
8:21
about?
8:22
>> You know, I I I don't think I could I
8:24
could stand here, Gordon, and say that
8:26
people think this is a red card. They're
8:27
categorically wrong. But we also
8:30
understand what the V look at. You know,
8:31
they see the the foot going onto the
8:34
side of the the leg and coming down the
8:36
sock. It's no studs completely onto the
8:38
the leg and bending the leg forward. Um,
8:41
and then the majority of the contact
8:43
comes in the boot, but I can also
8:45
understand both both cases. I know
8:47
there's people in refereeing, for
8:48
example, who would think this more leans
8:50
towards a red card. Um, with the images
8:53
here, the description, the referee
8:56
giving a yellow card, is there something
8:57
clear here with the images we're seeing
8:59
that would bring the referee to the
9:00
monitor to upgrade to a red card? I
9:03
don't think so.
9:04
>> Hold on then. Why did V ar if there
9:07
wasn't a clear and obvious error then?
9:10
>> But I could also say if the referee had
9:12
given red card on field we would have
9:14
check completed that decision as as
9:16
well.
