I find it very depressing that teams in the spl pack their defence against us and express delight in getting a point and the manager says we were resilient. Translated means look to try and nick a goal. Really disappointed in Clarke comments yesterday as they were the form team in the league but came for a point.
Kickback consensus is that because Shinne got back up unhurt it's not worthy of a red... Also loved "you see tackles like that go for a yellow all the time"
Aye, you see them if you follow potters team every week I'm sure
A thicker bunch of holes you will not find.
There's something seriously wrong if they win an appeal - a tackle from behind with no hope or intention of winning the ball. Given that they have the worst disciplinary record in the league, surely the powers that be won't give them carte blanche to continue their thuggery.
Potters after match interview was it was harsh because he only just missed the ball. His starting point is that Lafferty was trying to play the ball in the first place. So that's alight then. Breaks both legs by accident, nothing to see here.... The Hearts way.

Red card all day long. Absolute shocker

If they lose the appeal, who will they lump the ball up to in the upcoming derby?
Can you imagine if Stokes put the same tackle in on Berra what the reaction would be from the Gorgie tramps? Absolutely guaranteed they'd be screaming for a red.
Its a stonewall red card and they wont win the appeal.
I thought at first glance it was harsh. THAT view from behind the goal shows how shocking it was. He has zero chance of a successful appeal.
Having looked at the BBCS new angle image the only way this will get rescinded is if the good doctor and her new rangers pal on the SPFL board exert some "influence"
It's a straightforward case of a loser scything down a player he can't catch with a fair tackle. Straight out of the Potter coaching manual-make sure you get the man.

Hope he does get it rescinded as he's brutal. Daz and Hanlon will have him in their back pocket, again.
I'm interested to see his tactics if he manages a 0-0 in the cup game and another in the subsequent money-spinner. Will he try to win the penalty shoot-out or not bother, considering his work to have been done to perfection over the previous 210 minutes? :dunno:
This is Scotland remember Col2??
Anything is possible however having seen this tackle from every angle I would suggest that if this is rescinded then every team in Scotland will use this as a basis as an appeal.
Red card without a shadow of a doubt however let's see how they powers that be see it.
If unsuccessful would it mean 3 instead of 2 game ban?
Hearts will never be appealing. FACT
Seriously that is a red all day. You knew what Lafferty was going to do about ten seconds before the event. No way will that be rescinded. I'll eat my hat if it is.
Should get ban doubled on unsuccessful appeal. Makes a mockery of the option to appeal if it is used just to get players available for the next match.
