The Don Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 HIBERNIAN were last night seriously weighing up an appeal against Steven Fletcher's controversial red card in Sunday's 2-0 Edinburgh derby defeat to Hearts. http://sport.scotsman.com/sport/Hibs-may-appeal-red-card.4868271.jp The misery continues for the lochend cockends. Thompson has already stated the red card was correct, so very much the same as what happened to Zal when the ref says he got it right your fecked. Why would they even consider this? Having watched the highlights over and over I have no doubt red was the right decision, a reckless, dangerous 2 footed lunge at Berra, which could have broken his leg had he not got out the way, there is nothing in the rule book that says a players leg must be broken or injury has to occur to a player in order for a red card to be justified.

vegas-voss Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Mixu is in one of today's papers saying that Fletcher done exactly what he had asked of him. Anyway what does it matter if his foot hit the turf before hitting Berra surely it is all to do with the intent.If his foot does hit the turf first it is more down to luck than trying to pull out of what was a two footed lunge.

Thompson had a look at the decision at half time apprently and felt it was still the correct decision.

Bindy Badgy Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 You have to remember that they appealed Shiel's sending off after the 3-2 game. By their standards appealing Fletcher's red card is nothing. It could of been a yellow but you can see why the ref sent him off. I would be very surprised if it was turned over.

I'm not sure Berra did manage to get out of the way. Fletcher's lunge caught him and even if you're Chuck Norris, that's going to hurt a little. Mixu has chosen to blame Berra for the result because he is in a state of panic, denial and is way over his head working in the SPL. It's not our fault the Hibs players had no control over their emotions. We won this at a canter. Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chis101 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Mixu is in one of today's papers saying that Fletcher done exactly what he had asked of him. That was in yesterdays EN as well... I actually thought that at the time as well, Minutes before his sending off he made a reckless challenge against zal or johnson and was spoken to by the ref and then shortly afterwards ratboy did the same thing. It was clear that the flairmeisters tactics were to foul, nip and harry our defence into giving them anykind of advantage... It was nice to see that work well for them:108years: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieholt Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 At the time, I thought it was a yellow. However, If Mixu insists on asking the same ref who has already reviewed the video evidence and concluded that he got it right, to do it again and . . er . . change his mind, then he has lost the plot entirely. I can understand his comments when emotions were running high, but to think about an appeal in the cold light of Monday is plain stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzbomb Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Mixu's feeling the heat and is using this to try and deflect the flak. The hibby's are stupid if they fall for it as it is hiding the fact that they are crap and have a poor manager in charge. I mean, why listen to the opinion of someone who doesn't have a clue? A year from now Mixu will be in the football wilderness. His antics on Sunday were embarassing. Out of his depth. The tackle on Berra is exactly the type of things refs should punish, not stepping off the field of play to celebrate a goal etc. Punish the shirt pulling, holding in the box, bad tackles etc, things that might improve the entertainment in the game and provide more scoring opportunities, not the meaningless crap that just frustrates everybody.

The Don Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Whats been missed by many is the reason Fletcher lunged into that tackle and the build up to it. He missed a sitter which any player in La Liga ooops i mean SPL should have scored. He was frustrated and clearly the adrenaline was flowing at a much faster rate, in the same incident, as the ball is cleared away by Berra Fletcher clearly (As you can see in the highlghts) tries to grab berras leg to bring him down, play then continues and minutes later when the oppertunity arrises he lunges at Berra and is sent off. I have little doubt that Fletchers mindset was to go into that challenge recklessly He maybe did not go in with intention of injuring Berra but he recklessly lunged into it out of frustration.

4marsbars Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Mixu has made such a fuss about this it would be contradictory if they did not appeal. Unfortunately, as a consequence of a senior moment whilst setting my video I have no record of the incident to watch over and over again so have to rely on my memory. At the time, I thought it could have gone either way, red or yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens in derbies. Especially when the manager has entirely failed to establish any discipline in the dressing room at all, and just winds his players up beforehand instead. I don't harbour any ill will towards Fletcher: he got the red card and automatic suspension he deserved. It's Mixu who's the real guilty party here.

The phrase Dead man Walking was used last night (by BB ?) and it's spot-on. I think the reptiles will appeal it. Not because they think they can win it, but to try and make Mixu look a little less foolish. Can you imagine how much more of a trumpet he will look after all of his slavering if Hibs don't appeal ?

HelloSunshine Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Mixu just can't seem to accept that Fletcher jumped into a challenge 2 footed and got nowhere near the ball - the ball is hardly on screen in the replay! He even had a go at Berra for a 'bad touch' before the challenge. What about Fletcher's control to give the ball back to us...not Real Madrid class for me!

Victorian Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 apart from an initial reaction as soon as the ref showed the red card, the basic acceptance of fletcher to the decision told it's own story... he knew damn well and fine that his challenge was a dangerous one. there was also a lack of protest from his team mates. the hibs players all seemed to know it, a lot of their fans seem to know it, the only moron that seems to be at odds with the general consensus if the demented fat trout. it's just as well his playing days are long gone, he would have been a danger to other players if he truly believes that challenge wasn't reckless. mister stay-puft - a truly awful embarrassment.

hearts_crazy Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 The back page of the Daily ****** yesterday had a wee story about how Mixu was boiling mad about the sending off, blah blah blah, immediately under the story was a cracking picture of the incident, ball nowhere, Fletcher's eyes firmly fixed on Berras's ankle as he lunges in two-footed without even a passing thought about the ball. As far as I can see that photo is all the evidence you need that the intent was there to do harm, whether the actual contact was minimal or not is completely irrelevant, the intent alone = violent conduct = red card, end of story, so shut the feck up Mixu you utter tit. I think you need to show more attention to slaughtering Fletcher for (arguably) costing your pishy team yet another derby game than any ridiculous attempt to make it look as though you were somehow cheated out of a derby, in which your flairsome team managed one solitary half chance in 90 minutes and were generally utterly garbage throughout.

djf Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I kinda hope Mixu shuts his mouth soon. He is bad tempered, unprofessional, stupid and severely out of his depth. In other words the perfect Hibs manager. He also has 3 and a half years left on his contract so the subjectives won't want to pay him off as they must continue with their holy quest to get their debt to the flair level. Yet the more he goes on the more I worry Hibs won't be left without a choice. Surely this plum can't continue managing a football club in Scotland's top flight?

Drew Busby !

However Mixu has made such an erse of this with his post-match pronouncements over the last 48 hours, that any chance of that has probably now evaporated.

The fact is the challange was a blatant foul, definate yellow and a possible red. At the game I thought he is off straight away, it was 2 footed and a stupid foul that then led to us dominating (not that im complaining) Mixu should shut up before any credibility he has remaining evaporates FTH 108 108 108 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I still don't understand how Mixu (or anyone) can think that Berra made the most of the challenge at all. He played the ball away with one foot then, as he went to place that foot on the ground, Fletcher slid into it and knocked his leg out the way. Losing your standing foot is obviously going to cause you to fall awkwardly and thats exactly what happened. Or is my view of it somehow skewed? I still think it was more a yellow than a red, but giving a red was not inconceivable especially given the refs view and the intent shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groatallar Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 It's pretty shocking that a guy who played the game cannot realise how close Berra was to being seriously crocked by a very dangerous challenge. Even if Berra had got his ankle or leg broken the man would have still moaned about it. Big Mixu is a total erse and the SFA should fine him for these ridiculous comments.
