Gambo Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Whilst not to blame for the defeat today as we were useless, he and his assistants certainly played a part in it imo. Clear hand ball before Zal knocked it out for a throw before the first goal not given. Hand ball in the box at Brunos free kick from a wall positioned 8yards away. 2hand balls by Celtic players and the ball being out of the park for the second goal. McDonalds 2 dives unpunished Robsons dive unpunished McDonald encroaching at a free kick near the edge of the box in second half and getting in the way of the ball (he must have been 5yrds away when Bruno struck it) Penalty incident.....offside? outside of box? I'm sure there are more. Not blaming him for the result but he contributed to it a lot. All imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 The foul for the penalty that was given occurred outside the box. The other one probably wasn't given due to this mess-up as Kenif suggests. It was, to quote Charlie Nicholas, "a definate PK". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got lucky with a few breaks from the officials when it counted or we could have been sitting here talking about a 0-0 boring draw.

GforGallo Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hand ball in the box at Brunos free kick from a wall positioned 8yards away. 2 hand balls by Celtic players and the ball being out of the park for the second goal. only 1 hand ball the first one came off his shoulder, and it was never out of the park. McDonalds 2 dives unpunished - he didnt dive either time. Robsons dive unpunished - should have been a penalty McDonald encroaching at a free kick near the edge of the box in second half and getting in the way of the ball (he must have been 5yrds away when Bruno struck it) agreed Penalty incident.....offside? outside of box? not offside - part of the player that he can score with must be infront of the defender, it was his arm that was ahead - therefor not offside. Was outside the box though, made no difference anyway I'm sure there are more. Not blaming him for the result but he contributed to it a lot. All imo. The ref had a decent game but was let down by his assistants on the two main decisions e.g. the penalty and the ball being out of play.

I think you, me and everyone else knows the answer to that question. Last week, the linesman intervened to deny us a penalty and some folk on here were dribbling away saying how good a decision it was and how great it was to see the linesmen doing their job. Next game, the linesmen COULD have intervened to say a) the 2nd goal should not have stood and the penalty was not a penalty.

Silver Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 This is my first post on this board, so please don't shoot me down for my opinion. I'm not in the least surprised that the linesman / assistant referee didn't give the offside decision at the penalty incident, as celtic's Gary Pendrie abused and questioned his decisions throughout the first half (when we were attacking the 'school end') even after being warned by the fourth official. He clearly wore the official down. I only wish that these things that the media will no doubt choose to ignore could be highlighted to the SFA/GFA in some other forum.

Libertonian_II Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 There's a definite malaise about some Hearts 'supporters' who only ever look at the maroon side of things for the faults. While we were pants today against a team who put a lot of effort into the game, it just proved how many mediocre players we have. That said, maybe for once, if the decisions had gone our way, we might have come back into the game. Confidence plus a home support behind you can make a difference. Look at Spurs yesterday. They were played off the park but still had that little bit of fortune that made the difference. Whether we like it or not, they have better quality players than we did. We were always going to struggle. Thomson just made our life a lot whole more difficult my being incompetent.

Thunderstruck Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I have been going to Tynecastle for best part of 40 years and, sorry, never stopped to count the number of matches. The enduring feature of games against the OF during that time has been the consistency of the officials I'm ensuring that the decisions go the "right way". This is not incompetence. In fact, it is the exact opposite; they do what they need to do very well to ensure continued dominance of OF and access to the "euro-milions". This mistrust of refs is not just a Tynecastle malaise. The support of other team outside OF harbour similar beliefs (it has long since ceased to be a suspicion). Perhaps another hammering by ManU this week will encourage them to having to work a little harder for points in their own league will better prepare them for playing the big boys. This is not based on today - I was working and will watch recording when I get home - this is response to notion that officials are worth more than a few points to OF each season.

Deevers Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I've always thought that Craig Thomson was probably the best of the current bunch - however I thought that he was badly let down by his assistants today. There were quite a few incidents where they obviously were better placed than he was and could have helped him out. Funny how the linesman got involved last week - but this week they failed miserably. The second goal was clearly a hand ball and the linesman must have got a good look at that from his position. Also the penalty in the second half - McDonald was clearly offside - and the foul by Zaliukas was a foot outside the box. Having said all that - the performance by the team yesterday was disgraceful. They looked a beaten team from the moment the game kicked off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighusref Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 2hand balls by Celtic players and the ball being out of the park for the second goal. The highlights are on the BBC now. It is clear (IMO) that Caldwell kept the ball from going out of play with his arm (raised above his head and holding the post) before scoring. The "penalty" was a clear foul, a clear red card but also clearly outside the box. "Penalty" shout two was a clear penalty and should have seen C*lt!c given a penalty and Berra sent off. From looking at the highlights only, it would appear to me that the ref had a 'mare, however I as a supporter would rather he had a 'mare when it doesn't matter, as I don't think that any of those incorrect decisions made it a C*lt!c win.
