Bar Crichton not sure what anyone else had to offer. Weird people 

Agreed. I don't mind Crichton, think she is usually good on Sportscene. She just needs a better haircut.

I forgot about the shocker Macdonald had. The result could have easily been 5-1 but each of our pens were never being saved. 

Alan Main went the same way for all our penalties. So did the Hearts players.

[Horatio Caine]

I had forgotten what a stonewaller we were denied by McDonald.  If Rudi had gone down it was surely a pen and a red card.  I think he stayed on his feet because he thought he could reach it and tap it in.

Aye.

 

The flop hopelessly down to the left ploy.

I recall some ex ref at the time said McDonald was right not to give it as "Skacel got too close to the 'keeper".

 

Wtf?

 

To be fouled by an opponent you do have to get pretty close to them.

I can't believe they've got her back on. She is so far out of her depth on that show where you have to know what's happening in the world and think on your feet a little.

How to spoil a highlights programme.

What a cheat McDonald was. A certain penalty for Hearts. He couldn’t hide his Hibs colours that day, or on quite a few other days. He was the referee who caused the stand off between the SFA and Hearts over them handing out a punishment to Craig Levein for criticising him after his antics at Rugby Park, and then multiplying it, without any rule in their own rule book to cover it. Only solved by Robinson negotiating a face saving outcome for them.

 

Spot on. 

 

I seem to remember that Robinson was one of the "blazers" at that time and was probably scared he would have his blazer taken off him.

 

No matter what we subsequently thought of Craig Levein he was determined to go all the way with this and would not have backed down without Robinson's intervention which came I believe without his prior knowledge or approval.

 

For a man that wanted to take his team off the park at Ibrox in the infamous 4 sent off game he was found sadly lacking on this occasion and I have the strangest feeling that things were never quite the same between Levein and him after his climbdown.

Exactly.

 

A loud, daft laugh was about it, contribution wise.

 

Still more than Rebecca Front's input a few years back, mind. I don't think she uttered a single word. 

 

Never been back, afaik.

Iirc, the "compromise" was just resetting the fine back to it's original amount.

 

Not 100% sure but, regardless, I admired Levein for his stance.

 

Admiring Levein.

 

It was a simpler time.

Forgotten about it too, it's a pen if he goes down or not imo. Rudi took some stick for "diving" maybe that's why he tried to stay up? Main shat himself expecting it to be given.

Not true. I thought the programme was really good. I remembered the tension of the day.

 

And, this programme had just enough to interest fans of other clubs in a final that happened years ago.

 

As a Jambo, I'd have been even happier if there'd been a PHP (P for Person obviously ).

 

Objectively, all of the contributors were reasonably good. Upshot. I have a warm fuzzy glorious memory and credit to BBC where it's due.

 

McDonald on the other hand, a proper hobo cheatin **** for not giving a stonewaller penalty!

Great time to be a Hearts supporter 

Correct.  I came over for the semi final and I was bursting with pride at the calibre of squad we had assembled and full houses for every home game.

 

The fly in the ointment however was the evident instability of Vlad and we all know how that played out.

Love looking back at old finals, especially ones that Hearts won, but the format of this programme is odd. Why do they have to have "celebrities" like Janey ****ing Godley on reminiscing about a game they never watched in the first place?

Janey ****ing Godley is ****ing money mad.

Reckon Skacel stayed up as he had already been booked, so had he gone down McDonald would have sent him off for diving.

To this day I rate MacDonalds performance at Killie the worst example of bias I have ever witnessed, and I include dozens of games versus the old firm in that.  

[Samuel Camazzola]

Did Townsley even get booked for his kick at Hartley? 

[Harry Potter]

enjoyed that.

[The Real Maroonblood]

Having these folk in the studio was cringeworthy.

The 2 football women were okay but the rest were slavering erses.

I was expecting just recorded highlights not that format.

Leanne Chrichton and the other female ex-footballer were excellent.  Contributed well.

There are folk who lap up the pish content she churns out that somehow ends up on some of my chat groups. The person responsible for sharing it is immediately judged.

I thought HIGNFY was excellent but that was down to the host. She contributed very little. As for the highlights I watched  the Motherwell v United highlights and it had Cowan and Cosgrove and also Stewart  and Thompson and it seemed alot more professional set up with them actually talking about the game. Last night I had no idea who most of these people were. Knew the 2 female footballers and unfortunately Godley but the other 4 I still not sure who they are. The guy in shades lol 

[maroonsgotop]

programme spoiled by those hopeless pundits who offered absolutely zero. Pathetic stuff from them

No, Townsley got no punishment. McDonald was asked on talk 105 the following year why no action was taken. He said he’d watched the game 6 times since and that Townsley never kicked Hartley. Liar and a cheat.

The one thing they missed in the highlights was Gretna were close to a winner at 90 minutes.

Not dissimilar to Brines with Marius Zaliukas at Pittodrie. A pair of liars.

McDonald has managed to get a position back within the SFA in spite of being caught being a liar.

He would have done Gretna a favour by just getting rid of him. He wouldn't have had that weak effort in the shootout. 

[Zico]

The closest Janey Godawful should get to Hearts is at a Ken Stott lookalike contest. 
 

Apart from the shite weegie patter, it was good to see the game again. Was a pretty stressful day - we pummelled them first half, hit the post twice and then ended up at pens. And Dougie MacDonald is a cheating *****, although typical to Scottish football, it was only confirmed when he cheated Celtic after doing it to us many times for years. He then spent time and money getting the fact he was a proven cheat removed from Google searches!

There was an Edin & dist referees meeting on the tuesday after cup final, where macdonald was going through all his decisions ,when it got to the penalty decision, he said that he was watching the keepers eyes following the ball and not keepers feet and yes he said "Skacel got too close to the 'keeper". when someone asked how can you see a players eyes from your distance where your standing, he quickly moved on to the next section, lets just say there were not a lot of referees happy with his answers
