Hearts boss Craig Levein responds to notice of complaint over "mass confrontation" during derby clash with Hibs: "I worry about the game when that's seen as a mass confrontation. People think players are robots who can control every emotion going. But the whole idea...

 

1. • of team-work is to support your team-mates. When I look at the first situation I don't see anything in it. I see a lot of people going in to break things up and stop a situation arising. In fact, I thought they were helping the referee. If the compliance officer wants to watch...

      

   • some games from the past then maybe she would recognise exactly what a difficult situation that is. But that was nothing. And I really worry if that is what is going to be see as confrontation that's nothing. Just about everyone is trying to keep the peace and trying to help...

      

   • the referee. Just because there is people there doesn't mean it's confrontational. I certainly think those situations could have got out of hand had it not been for the players trying to calm it."

      

I love that man!!!

Setting out our defence there

[avhudtheteeshirt]

I loved watching the stand side official, comes running on to get in with the referee then suddenly backs away, I think he was watching what was going on, but it looked cowardly to me???

When you see the incident again, I don't think anyone raised their hands other than to stop a player getting into the melee!!!

The compliance officer is trying to do her job, OK, but even she must see its making a silk purse out of a pigs ear!!!! 

[DarthVodka]

has anything here actually happened?  Past the hearing date and not a word as far as I have seen

[beaver]

There was something in the media about a week ago saying we would "have to wait". No other details as to when. Waste of a statement.

This is becoming utterly rediculous.

 

You simply can't go about re- refereeing games after the event as the teams who are most on TV or playing in big games will be disproportionately affected.

 

The SPFL need put back in their box. 

 

 

 

I actually think they can and should. If it discourages diving, ridiculous chaganges, off the ball stuff etc then they should fill their boots....it should however be even handadly applied across every team in the league including the ones from Glasgow.  This is where the problems will start.

The refs are trained to stay out of it so they can see all the nigglie stuff on the edges. They see much more a few meters away from the incident. It’s not their job to stop the fighting.

sometimes you need to put your hands up and admit you were wrong 

 

we should be heavily punished for this and will hopefully accept whatever sanctions with the dignity befitting heart of Midlothian

Your taking the piss surely. This has nothing to do with the idiot throwing a coin (for clarity)

If your being serious about the handbags then football Derby’s ain’t for you or that family.

the coin throwing etc is a whole different level and that's not what's being discussed here

 

we all want to win especially a Derby but the players and levein need to remember they are role models for the families who come to watch and the ones we are attempting to attract

 

i agree with you and Craig levein it was handbags but we need to realise it's not just about us

 

afyer the battering the club has taken recently (some more deserved than others) we need to stick our chests out as proud members of the heart of Midlothian family let us be an example for the greater good and accept it with dignity

 

i would have rather had the 3 points normally but we can still come out of this as genuine winners

So if I'm reading this right, you want the club to accept any punishment the SPFL see fit for a minor incident that, as has been pointed out, tends to happen week in week out across the country (3 or 4 times during a weegy bigot-fest).

Do you honestly think that fans will be put off going to games because they've seen players standing up for their team mates ?

 

I've answered your point as if it's genuine one, but I really hope you're just taking the piss

yes accept whatever punishment with dignity 

 

you and me wont be put off but there isn't enough you and mes to fill tynecastle going forward - therefore mrs b is trying to attract families to take up the slack going forward 

 

I realise it's anecdotal evidence but the family I observed at the game were quite perturbed by the indiscipline of the players 

 

again you and me were probably getting animated about it maybe even standing up when it wasn't even a goal but as I said In an earlier post we need to realise it's not just about the likes of us if we are to grow as a club which I think is what we all want

When you say "perturbed" what was their reaction

Did they all burst into tears, start screaming or just pack up their travel rugs and leave, vowing never to return.

FYI my nephew took his young son to the game. It was his first derby match and while disappointed at the result, he loved it and can't wait to go back.

I also question why we should accept punishment when we've not committed any crime.

I'll take the £100 fine Alloa got which would be a strong message and deterrent 

 

Though if we get a censure as Edinburgh City got or a suspended fine on good behaviour (£250) Clyde got it would be a similar strong message which hopefully these frightened and upset people could feel is justice for their terrible experiences.

So you are saying we should just roll over like we do almost every other time the club is sanctioned. There is no club that has had more hassle from the ruling body than Hearts and most of the time we accept it. Rarely do you here the club moan about decisions against us but other managers seem to be able to question every decision against them without any repercussion. We have had so many fines and appeals upheld than any other club I would expect but if you think CLs actions are any worse than Lennons maybe you should just quit before you have a meltdown.

As for the supposed upset family in the Wheatfield being upset by the players I do fear for the future of their children if that upset them. I imagine they have never watched WWE, rugby,ice hockey or other competitive team sport. Also if players are role models surely the play acting and diving in the game has more of an effect on children as it shows them its ok to cheat and lie to get what you want.
 

If anything I wish our players showed this passion and support for each other more often and also wish the club would fight every decision against us. Football is a passionate game in this country and emotions run high at times so you have to expect sometimes players will have times when they tangle.

 

I think this is the time you need to put your hand up and admit you are wrong.

i think I agree with you in a lot of ways here but think it comes down to the old chestnut of acceptance of change being difficult

 

guys like me and you who probably don't want hearts to just roll over to anyone who pitches up at tynecastle by whatever means (just about) need to come to the terms that we are in the process of handing over the baton to the families we are trying to attract - there's a bigger picture to the change (and I don't mean just getting rid of sectarianism etc) I mean acting in a family friendly way

 

neither the players the manager nor the fans (even the non-numpties) did that

 

there were no tears I could see but it's was obviously a very awkward/uncomfortable situation for them

 

if found guilty (whether we are or not) we should accept the punishment as an example to others of respecting authority

Absolute rubbish, Baton? We’re a football club if we cut out the stupid songs and throwing objects then going forward we’ll attract plenty supporters. Football is a passionate sport and especially derby matches. My lad was hooked after taking him to Easter road to see us beat Hibs (Gary Glen goal in front of away fans). 

Every club will have a few idiots within their support and we’re no different, at least our club is trying to do something about it unlike most others.

I had both my 8 and 10 year old daughters at the match and they loved it.  My ten year old, in her own polite way, wanted to run on and join in.  Good lass.

Hearts and Hibs are due to appear before the Scottish FA today to defend themselves against charges of misconduct stemming from October’s Edinburgh derby fixture.

 

In an ugly goalless draw at Tynecastle, Easter Road manager Neil Lennon was struck with a coin thrown from the Main Stand and Jambos ‘keeper Zdenek Zlamal was the subject of an alleged assault whilst retrieving a ball in front of the away support. However, it was the angry melee sparked by the red card shown to Hibs striker Florian Kamberi that resulted in notices of complaint being served.

 

The clubs were accused of breaching disciplinary rule 204, where “three or more players and/or members of team staff from one team are involved in a confrontation with opposing players and/or members of team staff of the opposing team during and/or directly after a match”. The case was originally due to be heard last month but was rescheduled for today. It is understood Craig Levein will appear on behalf of Hearts.

 

Evidence is also expected from derby referee Andrew Dallas, the same official who angered Hearts last midweek with his decision to award St Johnstone a controversial penalty in the 2-2 draw at McDiarmid Park.
