Mr Sifter Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 At best it's an article that makes me cringe. At worst it's a ****ing disgrace that someone somewhere considered this a newsworthy piece. What a shambles of an organisation. It's almost as if the staff there are treating it like a fanzine, in the knowledge that the place is goin down the tubes anyway. And yet there will be Hibbies lapping this up. There is no facepalm big enough for these boys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown user Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I stand by what I said in the aftermath, if you watch Wallace carefully, he can't even know Hanlons there, Hanlons run was from the opposite direction that Lee was looking in.

Guest C00l K1d Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 It was clearly just something to lead them into the story about a famous NFL player coming to watch hibs. There's a lot of fouls in football that would also be fouls in NFL. It doesn't mean they're horrendous or that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Le Clos Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 This doesn't even annoy me. Hibs feeling hard done by again? Handed us the cup in 2012. And the league in 2015.

2NaFish Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 It's a ****ing disgrace. I was watching a rugby game at the weekend and they started throwing and catching the ball. I can tell you, they were not impressed when i marched on the field and told them using your hands is a foul in football. Apparently, they say, the rules of one game don't have any role to play in another game. Frankly, i think they're just bitter. I'm with hibs on this. It's a disgrace that rangers aren't judged by NFL rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much agree with this. It's a funny article , a la Huffington Post IMO (although it obviously wanted intended that way , I'm sure). So, some Yank goes to a dire "soccer" game (that's one off the bucket list , folks!) , expresses an opinion about a tackle (I wonder if the EEN could have asked his views on climate change or LIBOR ) and says he played the game for 3 years - but was surprised there was only 3 match officials. That is a good article - it fulfills the needs of the Hobbits (reinforcing their victimhood status) and thoroughly entertains us Jambos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maroon tinted glasses 2 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 The one and only question that should be asked to put this to bed should be - After the collision, did the ref blow the whistle for a foul? NO and therefore (as all players are told) play to the whistle. The one player who did "play to the whistle" happend to be the very person that scored the second goal (not the winning goal as that was the first goal due to hoobs not scoring).

Mikey1874 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 good decision at the time by the ref clearly a collision a bit strange Stubbs went on about it so strongly completley deflecting from a very poor performance and the reality of being 1-0 down. Bad loser fair enough but think he is more upset at Hearts winning league and picked this to avoid talking about it American boy just asked to comment by media - was smiling when he spoke on tv - being kind to his hosts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
