McJambo Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Just wanted to clear this up. IMO, although the red card was rescinded Maloney didn't "dive". Fyssas went to ground and Maloney rode the challenge else he would have probably gotten a sore one. I thought this at the time and I still think it years later. Strange one to bring up now but I keep seeing it popping up about Maloney diving, anyone who has played the game will tell you there are times when a bad tackle comes in and you nick the ball away and try to avoid the challenge, it happens every week.

Maloney asked for a free kick when it never was. Therefore, he dived/cheated. Balde took out Cesnauskis in the same game. It was much more blatant, much more central and much more a goalscoring opportunity yet he stayed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eckauskas Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 IMO, although the red card was rescinded Utterly irrelevant. The little fecker threw himself to the ground, I heard his scream of 'agony' in G Upper. He tried to get Takis sent off, whether or not he 'rode the challenge'. Maloney was a cheat, is a cheat, and always will be a cheat. Hope this helps. This. Would be open for debate if he didn't throw himself down like a wee lassie every time someone farted in his general direction. As it stands, he's a cheating little scrotum. ? Probably a reference to the fact Maloney was born in Malaysia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McJambo Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 I would say a "dive" and what Maloney did were two different things, a dive in my book is someone going down when there is no contact or very little and no obvious need to go down. See Berbatov today, a brush on his shin, if that and he drops to the ground like he was shot. Maloney was running at full pace seen the tackle come in and just managed to nick the ball away before riding the challenge, as I said anyone who has played the game will agree this happens every week. If you stand still you get injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been involved in football since I was 8, and players don't go down like that at any level other than professional. If they did, they'd get the ******* shit kicked out of them.

The Old Tolbooth Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 If he wasn't touched, then why did he scream like a banshee when he went down? I'll tell you why, because he cheated to get Takis sent off, if he had been touched then I could understand his scream, but he wasn't touched, therefore no need for the theatrics. All this amounts to a cheating little ****** for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eckauskas Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I agree Maloney had a motive to throw himself to the ground like a rag doll. His team were 2-0 down in their most important game of the season and never looked like getting back into it, so he cheated in order to get the opposing team down to 10 men.

I'd like the idiots people to notice that when I suggested our November game against Celtic as counter-evidence against the theory that Celtic are favoured by the referees, I was told that I was either on a wind-up, or that it was just one game and that it means nothing in the grand scheme of decades of decisions going against us in favour of them. Good to see the double standards being clung to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime I see this challenge I see no other reason for Maloney to go down other than to get Takis sent off. He's in control of the ball, he's more or less through on goal and he flings himself to the floor to get a fellow pro sent off. The underhand tactics of a cheating prick, shown over and over again by his antics on a weekly basis (when he's not on the treatment table). Thankfully he has utterly failed in the game for a long time, scant consolation however for our title challenge being extinguished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was way out on the touchline and completely unnecessary. But to agree with another poster, this is the angriest I have ever left a game too. And does anyone remember Rudi shooting straight at Boruc when he could have made it 3-0 before half time ? That missed chance changed the season for me more than the red card.

Actually, I've just watched the blurry highlights on youtube here - and it wasn't on the touchline and probably deserved a red card for stupidity. Maloney is a yard outside and maybe eight yards from the corner of the box. We would have been screaming for a red card too.

givememychoice Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 in what way ? due to claiming it deserved to be a red card. which rule do you claim fyssas broke? It was a dive. incidentally, regarding maloney's nationality. I would concur with the doubters if he had merely been born during a holiday, but he spent his first 5 years of his life there. And JMT, you continue to argue in the face of an alternative theory backed up by evidence. Granted, its probably not a perfect theory, but as with all scientific theory i am happy for it to be scrutinised and amended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pants Shaton Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Although I was at Dens Park in '86 aged 8, this game is the most painful I can remember. That little labia, Maloney, was instrumental in them cheating their way to victory - no amount of bizarre revisionism will change that. What an odd thread for a Hearts supporter to start.

kingdannyb Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 due to claiming it deserved to be a red card. which rule do you claim fyssas broke? It was a dive. AS I said before: Yes, it was a dive. Yes, Maloney is a cheat Yes, Brines is a cheat. But I think Takis intended to bring him down with a wild sliding challenge. That's why he accepted the red card without complaint. I sat in Lower G that season and could not have been closer to the incident but didn't realise until seeing the youtube highlights this morning what a stupid challenge Takis did. If he'd stayed on his feet and ushered the wee cheat wide we could still have won the game and we might have been champions. If, if, if, if, if . . . I completely understand you saying Maloney dived and that's all there is to it, but I just think Takis has to accept at least some of the blame for even giving Brines the slightest opportunity to help the Green Filth.
