*** Heart Of Midlothian Vs H1b5 *** Offical Edinburgh Derby Match Thread

[Doc Rob]

Shankland was constantly fouled by the Hibs defence today. He was held back almost every time he got the ball. Hibs weren’t penalised once, but of course Shankland was booked.

I tell you what. They don’t do silky football at all.

 

Yet again it’s all about turning it into a yellow card fight/battle.

 

Fair enough. If you can’t win at the football, reduce it to a battle. But let it never be said that we bully Hibs these days. They are hammer throwing wee gimps. 

 

Hoof ball over the top to a fast player. 

 

They are stinking.

Well done Hearts

Everytime btw. Was unreal, in front of the cheating linesman. Who I may add had a total shocker. I thought the tackle on Haring was a deliberate assault. Will need to see again but if so then sick considering what he has went through. Hope he's ok.

28 goals for season. Speaks for itself but then he does so much more.

[Bozi]

When the chips are down and Hibs need a win, Hearts do what Hearts do in derbys. 

Ps with the extra 7 minutes at the end of the 1st half and the 9 at the end of the second we played about 76 minutes with 10 men 😂

My thoughts exactly. One of their hatchet men sent out to injure our players. A disgusting shower of shite.

That’s a big ask , I’ve got him down for scoring 6 or 7 today but 30 goals by half-time that would be something 😉

On Sportscene BBC Scotland now.

[Mikey1874]

3 goals from James Hill long throws. 

[Mikey1874]

It's a poor decision for red. Worse than the Celtic one in that its even more uncertain where the ball is falling. So not a clear goal scoring opportunity. Hibs player doesn't have control of ball. Worth an appeal.

Just watching on Sportscene - was that stuff getting thrown at Oda after the goal?

77 to be precise. Game lasted 106 minutes. Cocharane sent off in the 29th. They blew it...........again.

[Mikey1874]

Lewis Miller and Will Fish chances were sitters.

 

McKirdy. He must be a secret Jambo. He is mates with some of the squad.

No footage of Haring getting clattered.....probably because they'd have to discuss why it wasn't a yellow card.

[John Findlay]

With all the practice they have had playing against ten men this season I was expecting Hibs to blow us away in the 2nd half. Alas they didn't, because pure and simple, they weren't good enough.

I couldn't believe they didn't VAR the hand ball by them a minute before half time.

I thought it looked like the Hibs boy led with his elbow in real time. I assume VAR checked for that though given how long Haring was down for.

Rowles, soft as putty, week after week and refuses to go win ball. Busted flush tbh, Scotland not for him.

Gino herculean effort today

Atkinson produced some decent defending today, hope renewed.

Oda a menace , gonna ragdoll folks next season.

Toby put a shift in and done okay.

Clark, another good performance after Ibrox.

Devlin not the answer tbh

Kio, i heard he came on but cant confirm that.

Forrest, another missed opportunity.

We missed Haring.

Shankland must be covered in impact bruises. 

Pretty good summary.  Thought Clark was at fault at their goal but a few saves compensated. Our midfield is so weak and as a result there is little protection for the guys at the back at times. 

[jambopilms]

Would like to hear what state Haring is in, looked bad again. Hopefully precautionary.

 

He always plays well in a derby, missed him when he went off.

TBH today Hibs just kept launching high balls and used width against 10.  Before Haring went off we were fine. 

[RedStarRiot]

The Sportscene highlights were poor.

 

No review of the handball posters have mentioned.

 

Nothing on the Haring injury/potential red of for them.

 

They all agree with the Hearts red which is surprising since its really not totally clear if it was a goal scoring opportunity or if it was even Cochrane who initiated the contact. Cadden flies straight into him.

Yes, but the midfield guys can’t pass to to each other or a team mate. Second was clear evidence of that. Won nearly all the first balls then immediately gave it away. No ball retention at all.  Been a problem nearly all season 

[Kev1998]

When the fu@# will our centre backs learn to jump for a ball? Basic stuff. Over 6 ft jump 5 ft .

I did think that at the time. Then thought surely not. After the debacle in the end...yes, that is certainly what it looks like.

From my mate who filmed it at the time. Clearly takes him out.

Had to make it smaller as wouldn’t upload as too big. The clip I’ve got shows him walking off. But I’m sure if you watch game again on Hearts tv then you’ll see it.

Cochrane shouldn’t have been sent off. Was a genuine attempt at the hall. Double jeopardy means he should’ve kept the booking he was awarded. 
 

****ing referees are clueless. 

[cosanostra]

I'm not even mad at the red card. Cochrane needed to defend better but he'll learn and the better team finished in 4th.

We didn't look very well set up for the free kick though.

McKirdy dives in the box.  Should have been a yellow card for simulation.  Robertson was about to give a penalty until he was called on his headset from either the VAR desk or the linesman.  Jimmy Sandison’s reaction on Hearts TV was classic. “McKirdy should have got a yellow card automatically anyway…..for coming on the park with those pink boots!”   😁

Indeed 😆

Yep.. they’ve actually only won 6 games this season against 11 men. FTH. Tinpot arseholes. 
Positives… we’ve just played the last 5 games after the spilt, against the top of the league clubs - 3 out of the five games we’ve had a straight red… and we’ve  only been beaten once. Naismith hasn’t done too bad. 
Scottish clubs really have to do something about the officials in our game though. A total disgrace, the lot of them!

Onwards and upwards. 

Absolutely 👍🏽 👏🏾

Doesn’t matter if you stop a goalscoring opportunity you are red carded. He needs to learn not to do that, even if they score we win the game probably.

Sour grapes from the Tim b team as usual. 

 

Hearts won today even though it was a draw. 

 

It was a hearts win.

 

Ofc celtic will win the cup which will help their feeder team but it still doesn't change the fact it was a de facto hearts win today.

Sorry but you're wrong. Double jeopardy only comes into play if it's a penalty, hence the initial yellow. Once the penalty is overturned it then becomes a red

He did need to track Cadden's run better. The replays show he had him in his sights at one point and probably could have cleared with his right to avoid it becoming Cadden's ball. I'm mainly frustrated that the situation arose with a simple ball over the top that Rowles didn't defend. The line was too high.
