couttsy Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 59 minutes ago, Ped_MFC said: I thought the opposite about Collum going for the red first chance he got. When the challenge was made I immediately looked at Collum, he was reaching for the right hand pocket on his shorts for his yellow card when he was barged from his left hand side by a Hibs player. It was only when he was surrounded by them he decided he better get the red out pdq. Still an arsehole of a man right enough. Was just watching the highlights there when I read your post, great spot! Collum deffo goes for his right hand pocket on his shorts and is then set upon by 3 Hibs players, with at least 1 of them making contact with him. Perfect example of why teams must put pressure on weak minded referees throughout games, and on this occasion paid massive dividends for them.

pretzel Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 I also love how Porteous after cheering the red card just steps over his team mate injured on the ground without checking on the poor guy, seconds prior he was screaming murder.

joewarkfanclub Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Couldnt make the game yesterday so had to make do with watching online. Re the red card. I personally didnt think it merited one, particualy so early in the game. But as others have said, we all know what Collum is like, so it wasnt a clever tackle from Bevis for that reason alone. That fact that none of us can agree whether it was or wasnt, and that there was such a wide range of opinion from former players, even of the ex Hibs variety, shows there was at least some dubiety over it. I agree with all of those who said VAR would have made no diffence in this case for those reasons alone. Formation wise, I really couldnt fathom the team selection and, because of the red card, we will never know wither it was a stroke of genius from GA or just another brainfart out of what has now become amusingly known as "the tombola". Cant fault the players for effort though. Every one (bar maybe KVV and Ojala) put in an absolute shift and the Mount of ground that Donnelly and Cornelius covered in particular, was very impressive. I thought Ojala was at fault for both the goals, although McGinley should have stopped the ball coming in for the first. The big fella just doesnt look to have fully recovered his fitness and he was holding his thigh again and moving uncomfortably before half time when he was hooked. Starting to think he is gonna be another perpetually injure played much like Charles Dunne. We played very well 2nd half, albeit Hibs sat off us a bit to protect what they had and but for some better finishing (Roberts first half) and better decision making (Woolery 2nd half) I think we could have snatched a draw and taken it to extra time. However, we didnt, and its gone, so we need to move on quickly and concentrate on getting into that top 6. Lets leave the recriminations until seasons end and deal with the fallout then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's every chance another referee would've given a yellow, but one thing's for sure - any appeal would fail based on the laws of the game and what happened. Touching the ball first isn't a factor anymore, no matter how ridiculous you might find that. I don't think I did say it was ridiculous. I just asked what the rule was. Also I gave three possible check points, not just the one you quote. The rule you have quoted basically means that it comes down to interpretation of what constitutes excessive force. In rugby there is a check list of what constitutes a high tackle. You hear the refs talk through the checklist on the mics. It appears there is no checklist in this case so your opinion against mine as towhat constitutes excessive force. Nothing ridiculous about it.

Nearly a day for that and you’ve typed wummin deliberately? That’s beyond the pale. If I’d had you on ignore there would’ve been very few posts on this thread yesterday afternoon. Things ain’t great, I’m far from the happy clapper type, but, at least be a little constructive in your negativity and offer something to the debate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I didn't mean your opinion was ridiculous, it was regarding the rewriting the laws of physics comment. You're right, how could anyone going into a tackle like that not follow through? But that's the point - they don't want players making those challenges anymore, so they'll punish them as harshly as they can in the hope players will eventually catch on. Like the tackle from the back, which is given as a foul 99% of the time now, whether the ball's won or not - and a red card if there's any force involved. Fans might not like it, but since when has that stopped them? The interpretation of excessive force? Yeah, the referee's (who are instructed how to interpret these incidents), not yours or mine.

A dangerous tackle should be treated the same from minute 0 to 90. The timing yesterday just highlights how important it is that the decision is the right one. The game was over for 8000 fans after the first minute. The ref has to make a split second decision. It is a big big call and the referee's need help to make them. We need VAR. I would rather sit for 2 mins so we can get the right decision rather than sit through 89 mins of a game that is effectively over. I also think our refs should have mics. Transparency is really important and it is something that Scottish football in particular could do with. I have never understood why refs would not welcome that transparency. If they can explain an on field decision at the time I think it would help with trust in our game. I don't think this decision was as clear cut as you suggest Busta. I think a yellow card may have been enough but I can see why the red was given. I wonder if it is just a matter of time before slide tackles of any sort are outlawed in the game.

GazzyB Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 FWIW, as much as I think it shouldn't have been a red card, there's no chance VAR would have overruled it. We do still very much need VAR in this country though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at general social media posts the general consensus seems to be it was a harsh red, I don't plan to revisit the highlights to watch todays proceedings to check for myself but one thing I do know is not to go into robust challenges with that wee fud running the the show. I do however find it funny with Porteous reaction jumping up and down screaming at Collum to show a red then when he does he jumps about cheers then steps over his team mate stricken on the ground without checking on his wellbeing. I'm sure it's been mentioned throughout the thread previously but Willie was surprising lenient with the guy who dived twice, the keeper with the elbow on Lamie and the elbow from the Hibs forward in the first half. Finally the old chestnut when a keeper keeps wasting time all half then book them on the 93rd minute to pretend your doing something. TBH it was a much better watch than the last two home league games, at least we managed to actually pass the ball around. We managed to restrict them to one decent effort in the second half which was a Doidge header but they have got more joy in the first half. It kinda feels what could have been had we had the full 11 on the field for the full 90 minutes. Just frustrating to miss glorious chances then they go up and score a minute or so later. I see the Hibs fans have tore up a section of South Stand seats and a female steward got her head busted open by a projectile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
