I have no problem with players/Managers calling out other players who have dived. It might go some way to eradicating it from the game.

How on earth did Forrester escape a second yellow? He made two challenges after his booking that could have been straight red. Is Thomson seriously that incompetent or is it straight forward bias?

Totally agree, scandalous refereeing there. Little wonder people get a little suspicious when it comes to the impartiality of our match officials.

I think the first one could've been a booking, but the 2nd one was a definite yellow, and I've seen red for similar challenges. The fact that he got away with both is poor! Although I would add, O'dea got him the 1st yellow, Thomson didn't look Sure about booking him until he saw O'dea rolling about. He may have had that in his mind?

What were the two challenges that could have been a straight red? I'll give you the obvious one where he lunged in (he should have been off for that) but if you're suggesting the one at the corner flag before that was a straight red card then I'd suggest you're completely wrong. Forrester was having a good game up to that point too but I certainly think he should have received a 2nd yellow. That said, the first yellow that he did get looked dubious. Deserved winners though, I thought. Dundee came back well in the 2nd half an if they had started with the two attacking subs that came on, it might have been different, but it was a game where both teams are in obvious need of strikers. Very pleased with the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus_Young Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Woeful second half........from both teams in fairness. Forrester should have walked, no doubt about it. Ill take that though. Bit of early pressure after last week's draw. Probably just about edged it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes his cowardice in the face of Forrester's two late challenges even more bemusing. But then he's got plenty of previous over the years for absolute ##### decisions. Just ask Schalke 04 supporters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone is mate. It doesn't mean he is a cheat though. There is undoubtedly paranoia ripping out of a lot of non OF fans on here. Ffs Walker blatantly dived for a penalty against the Tims last week and it was STILL somehow establishment corruption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macy37 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 There's no denying that some refs lean heavily towards their 'team' be that Hearts, Celtic, Rangers or Morton. No denying that at all. There's also no denying that the Associations in charge don't penalise refs for abject performances . Must be pretty much the only job where you can perform like a khunt and get rewarded for it.

Rossy Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Not really a thrillfest at the Pitt o' dreams. Aberdeen completely dominant but a piss poor final ball means we're not creating the chances that we should be. Hearts are awful. Booting everything that moves, and have more yellow cards than completed passes. It's obviously all set up for a 1-0 Hearts win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest faircity Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Hearts just commit foul after foul after foul. Absolutely brutal. If they end up with 11 on the park I will be very surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
