Coburg Hearts Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 A terrible dive, a terrible decision by the ref., and the commentator does not even question the penalty award. Imagine had that been a Hearts player, or even worse, a Lithuanian one? There are no double standards in Scotland, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time of the game Keith Wright (of all people!) spoke out loudly, and publicly, in Miko's defence. He said that we either had to accept diving as part of the modern game - in which case folk should lay off Miko. Or we don't want diving in the modern game - in which case Scotland should have taken action against Gary O'Connor. He was the only one I heard then who actually had the cajones to come out and say it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the only one I heard then who actually had the cajones to come out and say it. That's the first time i've heard that, good on him for not jumping on the hysterical anti-Lithuanian bandwagon. If you had substituted the word irish for the word lithuanian in all that was said and written scottish football would have went into meltdown. Last nights dive was blatant cheating, but i doubt we'll hear much about it. John Rankin tripped over an invisible leg in the Obua derby and that was brushed under the carpet with anticipating a challe...blah,blah,blah.

Fozzyonthefence Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Mikos was a clear case of xenophobia. At that time there was a strong anti lithuanian feel to this country. Miko's was a clear case of cheating and appropriate action was taken by UEFA. After which there was a strong anti Miko feel from opposition fans but I don't recall this being extended to our other Lithuanian players. If you're suggesting that was there before Miko's dive I think you're wrong. O'Connor's looked like a dive there too but may have been contact (difficult to tell there)so he'll probably get away with it - Miko's on the oher hand was nowhere near contact.

allystrachan Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 when i seen this thread i figured it was just another moan about hibs and that it prob wasnt that bad of a decision... then i went and watched the highlights! thats is one of the most blatent dives i have seen in a long time! cant believe nothing was said about it. the ref had a great view of it too. could you imagine if that was miko?!

O'Connor's looked like a dive there too but may have been contact (difficult to tell there)so he'll probably get away with it - Miko's on the oher hand was nowhere near contact. Let me get this right. Two players, one Hearts one hibs, both dive to earn their team a penalty. You instantly condem the Hearts player but give the hibs player the benefit of the doubt. And I thought this was a HEARTS forum as well. for the record TV pictures show both were dives but at the time Miko's did look like a penalty given the position of the ref, the junkie's however was as clear a dive as you could get and the ref had a clear view of it. Given that you think the "appropriate action" was taken against Miko I take it you will be calling for the same punishment for the oconner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majority of people on here pre-season when we were linked with sheridan saying he was terrible, would gladly take him right now! I think we'd gladly take any striker that scores regularly. Which in itself asks the question - do we sign shite strikers or do we never play to suit them? Anyway, back on topic. Would be nice if the fat, fraudulent junkie got collared for his cheating (maybe God was watching as the 4th official and can cite him!) just so he can be in trouble with another authority!

Yes that was there before the scotland game, it was installed after miko 'pushed' the ref, after this he was booked for nothing tackles and was kicked off the ball without any foul being given. If it wasnt for the andy davis incident, and the way Vlad handled the SFA then they would never of went after miko after the dive. the media/refs/sfa were out to get miko and that was the incident they choose to get him back Fans were after him and booed etc from this point on. The media hated him and Vlad and other fans followed suit feeding the crap that was given to them by the weej media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
