Just because it supports your ‘belief’ doesn’t make it any more valid. You could go as far as saying if you are using Dermot Gallagher's opinion to get your point across you are almost definitely wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Ralston plays like Busquets and is much better than Tav. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR (aka that wee rodent) shouldn't have intervened. f**k VAR That's the sum of it tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their heads are so warped by a narrative they just ignore reality right in front of their face. Yeah it's definitely nothing to do with Hearts shitting the bed for 3rd place. I've been a season ticket holder since the 90s, seeing a good few relegation scraps, and I've seen Hearts relegated twice, but a season where we finish top six and probably qualify for Europe is enough to make me chuck it. You've got me... My mind was made up months ago. I posted about it on a few threads on this site.

craigkillie Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 14 hours ago, LuboMoravcik said: Fucking hilarious how much the red card has annoyed Hearts fans. There are plenty of examples of the same type of foul being a red card. This one for example: The very obvious difference here being that the ball was basically flat and there was absolutely zero doubt that the Rangers player was getting there. That's quite different to a high ball where there is no guarantee Maeda is going to bring it under control. It was also given as a red card straight away, which negates any "clear and obvious" discussion. The issue with Sunday's decision is not that it couldn't possibly be a red card, but rather that there was enough doubt for the original yellow to reasonably stay in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralston is only 24 and at that age Tavernier was going absolutely nowhere just bouncing about from loan to loan and struggling to cement himself as a first team player anywhere. You could say both he and Johnston who is also only 24 are way ahead of where Tavernier was at that age 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Judge Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 4 hours ago, VincentGuerin said: I've posted about that decision previously, and outlined the reasons I can see that it wasn't given and the reasons that it could have been given. Smith was moving quickly to one side, and the swing of his arm towards the ball being completely natural (not that you see that if all you watch is the one-second slow-mo) is probably what got him off the hook. It could have been given, but I don't think the decision either way would have been 'clearly and obviously' wrong. I think if the ref on the pitch had given it, VAR would have stuck with that. Celtic fans lost their minds over that game. Even to the point of widely sharing completely misleading images relating to offside decisions. Agreed, the season never recovered from that moment. Every Celtic fan I knew became completely fixated on wanting EVERY other team to be the victim of what they thought was cheating from officials. I kid you not the first few fans I spoke to after they clinched the title on Sunday only wanted to talk about Conor Goldson not being sent off against Aberdeen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like saying we can’t compare any player in world football to any other unless they are the same age… No one suggested that at all It’s a simple point that Ralston has plenty of time to develop and if you look at where he is compared to where Tav was at the same age then there is no reason why he can’t improve like Tavernier has. Johnston on the other hand is already a better defender than Tavernier 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
