GreenGray Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 It would be hard to say much positive about Hibs since then given how poor they've been. Even yesterday, Hearts were comfortably the better team until they shat the bed and stopped attacking when Boyle came on.Both teams created similar amount of chances, in fact if someone just watched the highlights they’d think Hibs were the better team. Wouldn’t say hibs we’re brilliant but wouldn’t say they were as poor as you’ve mentioned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Sportscene and their refereeing obsession aren't going to bother with decisions like that. A semi-competent sports show would’ve at least commented on it. Then again, asking McFadden to say anything remotely interesting or controversial is a waste of space. A bit like him. The most beige pundit in the country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Their analysis of Gallagher's handball was absolutely dreadful. They showed a still that made it look like he'd hit it with his hand at ground level when from head on it's claerly hit him on either the chest or upper arm, very hard to see which, and then bounced down onto the ground. I hope the VAR is going to have better pictures though i suspect we'll be screwed even more than most countries 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly a deliberate handball though and a second yellow was lenient. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pictures were too shite to be conclusive 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not sure if it’s paranoia but the love in for Hearts by the pundits seems a bit weird given the highlights indicated a fairly even game, which I felt it was. Michael Stewart hasn’t said a good word about Hibs since they sacked Ross. I don't think I've heard from anyone except Hibs supporters who didn't think Hearts were comfortably the better side. No surprise the media coverage reflects this. Just because it wasn't chance after chance and an absolute ragdolling doesn't mean it's not reasonable to say that one side looked better than the other. Much like the first derby of last season, you can legitimitely say it was a relatively even game and also acknowledge the clear truth that Hearts look the better side. That's all that's happening. Sometimes we'll play even games against Celtic. It'll still be obvious to most observers that they are better than us.

I hope the VAR is going to have better pictures though i suspect we'll be screwed even more than most countries VAR will probably run along similar lines to the Sportscene highlights to be honest. A ref requesting support in a vital handball and potential penalty & red card in a Livingston vs St Johnstone game will be told to beat it because all their staff will be too busy replaying every decision in the Rangers & Celtic matches looking for penalties every time they get over the halfway line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
