The handball was blatant as was the shirt pull, remember them going on about the one that hit goldson’s hand against hearts, stonewaller they said, rightly not given I say…Goldson was no more than two feet away with his hands by his side yet Hearts were supposedly robbed of an opportunity to get back into the game.
Carter Vickers was at least 15 to 20 feet from the attacker when the ball was played, he deliberately moves his arm to the flight of the ball…To that end I cannot believe the nonsense written by some on this thread. The pull of Goldson’s shirt was as blatant as the one on Sakala at tannadice and yet again the three wise monkeys officiating saw zilch.
We dominated the second half, yes our balls into the box were abysmal (Some of our players seem to think sticking it anywhere in the eighteen yard box is acceptable) but we are being refereed to an entirely different rule book than them, or in fact any other premiership team except when they are playing the filth.
They probably should have had a penalty also for McGregor’s clip on their striker, but the Collum lessez faire approach to filth indiscretion was at times baffling including the two incidents with Carter Vickers. To that end two each and them a man light would have changed the whole complexion of the game…Let’s not let the anger at our teams deficiencies cloud the fact that we are being refereed out of the title race.
Clancy, madden, Robertson, Beaton and a supporting cast of assistants have seen to that and whilst our board and management continue to keep up a deafening silence in the interest of ‘bridge building’ it will continue!
