tian447 Posted December 7, 2019 There's a difference between swearing during a game, and swearing directly at the referee or in clear earshot when it's about them. Total lack of respect as well, and rightfully deserves a red card. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When was the last time a player in the spfl got sent off for this?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpruceBringsteen Posted December 7, 2019 I ken this is a thread to bash a Hearts player, but I'll chime in by pointing out that if telling the ref to **** off is a straight red card offence now, then tomorrow's cup match is going to be abandoned.

Nucky Thompson Posted December 7, 2019 I'm not having that, players are constantly swearing at referees. Would he have sent Scott Brown off for the same thing? I think we all know the answer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andydog Posted December 7, 2019 Swearing at the ref is a yellow card. Calling the ref a cheat is a red card. I don't know what happened but those are the rules. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DS98 Posted December 7, 2019 I’ve not got a problem with this but as some have pointed out it’s double standards as usual. I remember a TV game a couple of years ago when Leigh Griffiths was taking an age to take a corner, the referee blew his whistle to hurry him up and Griffiths screamed ‘**** off!’ at him clear as day. Can you imagine the same ref, or any ref for that matter sending Scott Brown off for swearing? No chance in hell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Panzee Posted December 7, 2019 I do recall Ashley Cole when playing for Chelsea clearly - and on TV - shouting to the ref - three times - “eff off, eff off, eff off” and no action taken i just never get why swearing at the ref is different between football and rugby Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boof Posted December 7, 2019 Not that the offence is using foul OR abusive language. I also agree with everybody who says (a) Mulraney should be fined by the club and (b) that there's not a chance in hell that any OF player or official would receive the same sanction.

CJGJ Posted December 8, 2019 Of course we don't know what was said If he has sworn and more than the acceptable level then he is an idiot and deserves his punishment as well a fine. He has let down his team mates, the club and the fans with a lack of discipline on the park It is perhaps an example of just why things are not quite right at the club We can argue all day as to whether other players at other clubs would have received the same punishment from the same referee and maybe time will tell on that one but our player IF he has shown offence to the referee needs to ask himself some serious questions about his attitude. It might have made him feel better for a couple of seconds but he will not be available at a time when he is most needed...and of course it may be a bad time for him with a new manager coming in and players under pressure to perform Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhoenixHearts Posted December 8, 2019 Symptomatic of what has happened to our club. Thank **** Stendel is in. Hopefully the black cloud around the team starts to lift and dissipate. I know many don't want to hear it, but Mulraney is actually a decent player (or he can be) However he's incredibly inconsistent and often not up to standard. Maybe the new manager can help him get his head in the right place. *IF* he can do that (and improve his crossing), he sounds like he could be the right kind of player for Stendel's system. I'm not ready to shun the kid just yet. He was wrong to swear at the ref so I hope he gets fined and suspended. I'm just not writing him off. Positive vibes only. No looking back after Tuesday.
