HMFC 86 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 That's what St Johnstone were today. A nasty narky team. Make no mistake, we were poor all game and deserved nothing, but all the niggly fouls from them were not punished. Flopping down for any contact, pushes/nudges as the ball is coming in, all over the backs of our players, Anderson trying to get Djoum sent off for a non existent elbow, Davidson fouling with impunity and time wasting all game. Part of this is obviously Thomson who seemed resistant to giving us any free kicks. We all know Juanma likes to go down easy, but he was not getting any decisions at all when he was being fouled.

Stop right there, you're looking for excuses when it's down to the fact all over the pitch we were pish, end of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendricks Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 If I was a St Johnstone fan or anyone involved with them I'd be bloody delighted with what I witnessed. Come to Tynecastle and thrash Hearts in front of 16,000 of our fans with their resources is nothing short of superb. They have no obligation to sit off us and pussy foot about. Thats 6 goals they have scored at our ground this season. We have stabilized this season but frankly ICT winning the Scottish Cup, Ross County the league cup and performances like this from St Johnstone show we should be doing better next season given how much bigger a club we are than all of them. Today was unacceptable again despite the fact we have little to play for. What it did highlight again for me is just how far off we are from a REAL league challenge. All the fantasists in maroon who think we are close are deluding themselves. An awful Celtic team will still win the league with miles to spare (and still 2 games against us that they would traditionally win if required) and will never be as bad again next season with Rangers back in the fray. We will have to improve monumentally and show consistency we have got nowhere near to have any chance. that will mean a number of significant decisions and signings that more importantly work straightaway.

Rudolf's Mate Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Augustyn went through the back of countless STJ players. I dare say their fans are scratching their heads how he wasn't sent off before being subbed. Granted he wasn't the only one but he was the worst offender.

andi17 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 To the OP see if we ever harbour ambitions to win the league games like today when the other team are sneaky niggly dirty whatever these are the games you stand up in and say OK bring it on.

torino calcio Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 They made a mockery of the idea that we are a big physical team. They out muscled us throughout the game, albeit some of their challenges were a bit dodgy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamhammer Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Better than us all over the park and could have scored more. Juanma can just **** off. Rolling about like a lassie holding his face. No-one is buying it and I think refs now hold it against him. They went down easy but that's what teams do against us now. It's all part of the "big physical Hearts" thing. If our "strikers" actually tried to win a ball rather than fouling the opposition I'd say you had a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel 10 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Thompson was dreadful but we were worse. I have read your posts for many years now. What you have said here is spot on. Hearts were awful today but we will, as usual, bounce back. Hibs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendricks Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 They are into 4th with todays result and on target for 5 top 6 finishes in succession which for a club of their resources and piss poor home crowds would be a remarkable achievement.

Glottis Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Davidson should have been booked but I didn't think St Johnstone were particularly dirty. Nothing like Hamilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
