sergie's no1 fan Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Hearts looking much better after the formation switch. McKay running riot in the no10 position, we can't get to grips with this. Only a matter of time before Hearts go ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 The first half stats showed Hearts had all the possession but St Mirren had all the shots which suggests that after going ahead they sat back didn’t contest the middle of the park and looked to hit on the break Is that about right 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP_MFC Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Marcus Fraser is an idiot. What a challenge that was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torfason Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Having seen that back about a dozen times, Marcus puts all his weight on his right foot to avoid hurting the boy with his left…….and the ball was dead after the ref had awarded us a free kick. Ref got both wrong. Initial free kick should have stood and red card was an error. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 FT 1-1 Quite the game of two halves, first 45 all us, second 45 all Hearts. Point fair enough then. We actually started the half well. Main forced a decent save. Suspected we would regret all those missed chances and we did. Hearts with one of those over hit crosses that I think bounced straight in. They missed a couple of clear cut chances after that, one in particular a free header from about 8 yards, straight at Carson. Third game with a sending off in a row for us now. Absolute VAR shambles at the end there. A five minute check results in Fraser going off for violent conduct and us losing a free kick that had been given before the violent conduct happened? Weird. Olusyana coming on before Brophy was weird too. Guy clearly isn't a footballer and was rightly hooked back off shortly afterwards. Seemed like a bit of a message from Robbo. Onwards to Tynecastle, we have nothing to fear from this Hearts team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houston_bud Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Not sure about the red card. I'd be astounded if Fraser has deliberately stamped. Looks like he's jumped over Olusanya and landed on Grant. Why though does it take 2 mins for VAR to call the referee to look at it? It then takes the referee another minute or so to decide if it's a red. Needless waste of time. Hearts the better side in the second half but can't help but think it was 2 points dropped. We should've been out of sight. Hearts were always going to have a spell in the game so we needed to take our chances when they came. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby_F Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Anyone shed any light on why the referee gave Hearts the free kick after he’d given St Mirren the free kick and sent off a Saints player for something that had happened after the ball was dead. I know some rules have changed recently and I’m guessing the referee must have got it correct, but would be great if anyone knew what the rule was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ref got both wrong. Initial free kick should have stood and red card was an error. It is just about the clearest red card you will see in your life. Both feet off the ground and out of control to the extent that he couldn't stop himself landing studs-first on Grant's shin even if he was trying not to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s out of control and reckless. Yes he mitigated the absolute disaster of him landing with both feet on the boys leg but he had no need to be doing that at all. I’d also say the initial free kick was the wrong decision too but wow. The review took far too long to start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when you jump you usually have two feet off the ground. He's hurdled the St Mirren player and the Hearts boy is lying on the ground. In hindsight he should've just clattered into Olusanya rather than trying to avoid him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say a player punches an opponent waiting for a corner, the foul would be given whether or not the ball was in play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 I'd be astounded if Olusanya plays for us again. Robinson was fucking livid with him during his entire stint today and no wonder. Fraser is a red. It's not intentional but can 100% see why it was given. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
