OTT Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I'd say they definetly have a few gems. That Dolly Menga seems to be pretty decent, as others have mentioned Halkett is looking good. I'd be keen on trying to grab Matthew Knox, loads of hype a couple of years ago and seems to have died down a bit. Don't know if Livi can afford to roll the dice on him being a player or not so worth offering them a player/ cash deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laffertys challenge on Lustig & Naismith lucky not to be red carded v Celtic, Uches tackle v Motherwell could’ve went either way, Dickers red card v Killie, Motherwells goal on Saturday was harshly ruled out too, technically Godhino should’ve been off v Aberdeen for his challenge on McGinn as he didn’t attempt to get the ball, Clare should’ve had a red v Rangers.

But truth is we are still in a very good position league wise, and the Scottish Cup has still to come. If we can pick up some points from the games versus Livingston, Aberdeen and Hibs pre the Winter shutdown we could restart following that break in a very decent league position with the chance to kick on again.

The problem is the OF get away with them on a regular basis to the point the tide is generally always with them. Has a referee ever booked an OF player for something they did in a previous game? Like Beaton booking Walker at Ibrox for 'diving' when he got clean taken out. That was purely Beaton got his own back for Walker's dive v Celtic which won a penalty, ignoring the fact Walker was named, shamed and banned for it. In a nutshell, the OF are allowed more freedom to do what they like on the park over the course of the season because the TV rights are all based around the OF. The SFA thinks the league needs the OF at the top to sell the league so the OF get the benefit of the doubt a lot more than the rest. Or a blind eye turned. It has been going on for decades...

I couldn’t agree more, irs been like that since I stated watching Hearts aged 2 1/2 in the 70s. Has anyone who has run the club done anything about it? CL has had a pop at the SFA a few times then was given the top job when he was challenging the status quo off and on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 He is making the step up from part time/ just out of school to professional and in another country. I think it says a lot about his attitude and ability that he is able to force his way into Livi's team. Hopefully he takes this season to settle in and we might see him in the team next year?

If you had read my post properly I said they could be seen as contentious, Uche did make contact with that Carson and if he’d done that to Gordon or Macgregor In Glasgow it’s likely a red card would be given. Dicker again was a red card for me. I was just pointing out what people could say, or have said on Sportscene. I don’t believe they even themselves out, I think refs are biased and useless and apart from CL challenging them now and then I’ve never seen anyone at our club do anything about it.

However, the point is in order for those two decisions to even out we need a completely "softer than soft" penalty where everyone agrees it wasn't a penalty in a million years and a blatantly offside goal where everyone agrees it was offside.
