avhudtheteeshirt Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Once again Hearts are given a slap in the face by the GFA as a player who blatantly lashes out in anger or petulance at our player gets a straight red card overturned. By what measure has this been looked at, as I feel if it was a Hearts player who had done the same I feel sure it would have stood! I know that it is not very often players get a chance on getting to a national final but surely that is not the reason for overturning a blatant kick at an apposing player.

willie wallace Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I cannot believe he has got away with this.He made no attempt at a tackle but deliberately kicks Robinson as he was breaking free and could possibly have injured him.I presume the card has been reduced to yellow so the SFA are saying his offence is the same as kicking the ball away or taking your shirt off. Bet Andy Carroll wishes his appeal was held in Glasgow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I was surprised the ref brought out red at the time tbh. Robinson's challenge early doors was probably worse. I do agree though that if Inverness hadn't made the final then it probably would have stood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avhudtheteeshirt Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Got told on Tuesday by an SFA observer that the red card would be over turned. This only goes to prove that its a fix, as when it is looked at is it not out of the way of prying eyes so ref does not get any more flack. If it is looked at what does the ref think he was doing i.e. stopping the player running up field or was it a blatant kick to injure or was it the draft from the swipe of his leg that brought the player down? To overturn the red it has to be the last!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another case of the SPFL making / manipulating the rules to suit. I agree with that. They've showed leniancy so that he doesn't miss the final.

It's utterly cynical and with the intent to cause harm; if he only wanted to break up play he could've done it with a lot less aplomb. Surprised to see it has been overturned.

Del1812 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Don't understand how it's being labelled the Glasgow Football Association for giving an Inverness CT player the chance to play in a final against Aberdeen. What? They just did it to screw us? Ok. Never time just instruct the referee not to send him off in the first place, and maybe send off Scott Robinson early on. Still, they are all against us.

CBjambo Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Glad he'll be able to be part of the final humping the sheep will dish out. Not a fan of either but I don't want the wee cup won by a team with no history, fielding hatchet men huddies and managed by that moron winning. Yup, still bitter about the semi... and it's no surprise at all that the GFA have once again manipulated the rule book to suit. I know it doesn't effect us directly, but we have hardly benefitted from these review boards this season so it pisses me off when others do. The intent to harm was there, straight red.

Guest oldcastlerock2012 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I'm pleased. I'd like Caley to stuff Aberdeen so the stringer their side is the better. Seeing Yogi lifting a trophy after being at Caley for 2 minutes after failing dismally at Hibs will also annoy Hibs fans. Win win. Think it could be a good game actually - quite looking forward to it. Always like the non-OF finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETTY29 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 So now that this referee has made two blatant mistakes this season can we safely assume he will be rewarded with another high profile game? Thing is did the ref make mistake as such? In real time it looked a blatant 'lash out' 'tackle'. Taking into account a break wss in, in the modern game the is very close to being a red. Mistake, understandable decision? I wouldn't give the ref too much blame. I understand why at the time he would deem it as a red. Anyway, wonder what the decision been if we had won the penalties or it had been an earlier round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skacel goal Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 never A RED, to be honest, a yellow at most, correct decision by the appeal team.

7628mm Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The replay slows it down and it looks like a booking at most. At the game, the speed and intent was clear- to injure. This. Thought it was a red on Sunday but when watching the replay again on TV i can see why some say a yellow would have sufficed. I have just looked at it again on the BBC highlights which shows to me that the ball was a good 7 yards away when Robinson was taken out. Unfortunately it does not show you how many ICT players were between ball and their goal. However I have counted and including Meekings there were 8 ICT players in the Hearts half and all of them Hearts goal side of the ball. They were down to 10 men at this time so there is 1 ICT player other than the goalkeeper possibly ICT goal side of the ball when Robinson is taken out. That is why Meekings took Robinson out and IMHO a straight red card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurooba Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Am I missing something about the intent to injure? I didn't see it that way, I saw it as a foul to stop us breaking and even then I might be wrong but did it not happen about half way in our own half?

Diadora Van Basten Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Defo red for me. One yellow for the deliberate foul and one yellow for it being a dangerous challenge.

Nookie Bear Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 It was a cynical, professional foul because he knew his team was exposed at the back and it was only one simple pass to put one of our guys clear on goal.
