    If it weren’t for our hard luck with refereeing at the end of our respective games against France Scotland and Italy would be 2nd and 3rd

    It’s been one of the most balanced and interesting tournaments in years

    except for viewers in Wales

    Fair point.

    It's a problem that feels like it's getting worse and worse since VAR, but people seem to forget there is times that there is contact between defender and attacker that isn't a dive or a penalty. It's a contact sport after all. Feels like any incident in the box now has to be black or white. 

    Here’s the thing, though.  Does VAR overturn that if it’s given?  I’m not convinced it does.

    Yeah, I have to admit that I'd have wanted that ruled out at the other end, and for the exact same reason.

    Spot on - never a penalty (which Shankland doesn't claim for), and never a yellow either.

    I make that two very dubious yellows for Shankland in the past month - if there is no statement for the Hearts board by end of play today about biased refereeing, it will be a bloody disgrace and cause for sending season tickets back.

    It’s a bit of a cliche, but if he’s not interfering with Wickens’ view, why’s he there?   I don’t think there’s much argument at all.  Interfering with play is such a meaningless phrase sometimes. 
     

    I think it is a “simulation” by way of exaggeration, but he immediately regrets it.  He doesn’t appeal for a penalty and I wonder what he’d have done had it been given.

    Prior to today, I thought Shankland was a stick on to play a part in Germany. However he seems out of shape, over confident and please excuse me, but a bit thick. Dunno what he was thinking for the free kick, schoolboy stuff that.

    The Hearts away kit isn’t the most flattering, but he’s not in great shape.  It’s quite clear why Clarke has his doubts over him.

    Have seen nothing of the game except for these 2 decisions but both look spot on. Not sure what the plan is with Shankland standing 10 yards offside blocking the keepers view. Just trust Kingsley to hit a good enough free kick & you'd be fine. Penalty is also a player absolutely looking for it. Maybe harsh to be a yellow but definitely not a penalty

    Brilliant result & sets up a cracker at Pittodrie in a fortnight. Think Motherwell are back in it too especially if we win the afore mentioned game & as we all know, anything can happen post split (except Livingston getting out of 12th). Do think with Cowie seemingly making Dingwall into a bit of a fortress, we can get out of it & if we can sneak a few away results in there too, maybe we'll make it out with a game or 2 to go. 

    He quite clearly is offside.  It’s not even debatable.

    Can't believe we've managed to get to this stage of the Championship and nobody has mentioned what defensive system England are using

    Did you know their defensive coach used to coach South Africa’s team?

    After failing at every other level, it's surely Kenny Murray's chance to step up?

    Ah.  I see you favour the Scotland development team rotational approach.

    Turning it off before I have to listen to that p***k O'Mahony tell everyone how humble they are

    It’s a really weird, uniquely Irish flex.  Everyone else is losing because they’re arrogant.
