It has worked too. Fair play. You don't really believe that, do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I've left this thread alone until now, as I was pretty "seething" after the game on Saturday. I didn't believe it was a red card at the time, but I've since watched the incident a few times. Based on the letter of the law, the "excessive force" angle comes into play. Although I absolutely hate phrases like that, where nobody is able to define where the line is. Surely if a player is doing a slide tackle, running into it, there's always going to be an element of force? I don't recall many players sliding in from a standing start. Video replays are fine, but using a photo of a particular millisecond is always going to look worse. There will always be contact in this sport, but it now appears that more and more of that contact is resulting in a foul. That's not specifically relating to McHugh's tackle, but simply football these days . I lose count during games the times where a foul is given and I think to myself, "how is that a foul?". It's becoming a different game nowadays, and I think that's where a lot of the anger and frustration comes from fans when decisions that this one come about. The reason of "15 years ago, that was a great tackle" etc etc. Whether you believe the referee got the red card right or not, I don't think there's any doubt whatsoever that his general performance was dire. I mean, I know people were laughing about it, but booking a Hearts player for a Motherwell player tripping up another Motherwell player? That's shocking, and this is meant to be one of the top referees in the country? It's completely pathetic that we're all meant to swallow that bullshit, when everybody knows he's been fast-tracked because of who his father is. It was clear to see not one player respected the referee on Saturday, and with performances like his, it'll be a long time before anyone does. Going back to the 90 minutes, I thought we were fine for the first 50-odd minutes. The tactics employed worked ok, and we had a couple of half chances early on. Up until the red card, I certainly don't believe we had done enough to win, but we were in no danger whatsoever of losing it. Again, Hearts got a big slice of luck with their opening goal. We had another couple of chances to equalise, but Hearts hit us with a superb counter attack for the second (I was at the other end of the ground, but was it offside?). The quality of the Hearts side shone through in the end, but I do think 3-0 flattered them. We need to get a grip on the discipline side of things. Three red cards in four games, and only one point from those games. I believe if we'd kept it 11 v 11 on those games, we could easily have picked up another four or five points. As I've said before, it's going to be a battle for the rest of the season. That last top six spot is up for grabs, so we can't afford for our best players to be sitting in the stand.

What's telling, and irritating, is that all 3 have been for similar sort of tackles, Lucas' was nailed on and there have obviously been differing views on McDonald and McHugh's but whatever way you slice it 3 red cards in 4 games is something that needs sorted out. We not a good enough side to beat sides a man light (as the Accies & Hearts games proved). Prior to that, our last red card was for Lasley against Aberdeen in the post-split game, before that it was Lasley for a 2nd booking for handball in the last minute of the new year game so while I'd hope we'd appeal the McHugh card I'd also hope that privately the matter is being addressed.
