Exactly the kind of foul play Lennon was raging about after the derby - no attempt at a tackle and simply booting an opposition player to the ground.
Red card.
Reckless and high.
He should have been sent off for the eye gauge on McGinn 10
minutes into the derby also.
One red and five yellows
**** and thugs.
A horrible player playing for a horrible manager managing a horrible football club.
Hearts.
'Bout time Elbows got a red card for his thuggish behaviour. He should have had several this season already.
Definite red and his subsequent body language suggests he knew it was. There’s something sinister about his whole persona ......... sneaky, underhanded reptile. I couldn’t have coped with him as a Hibs player.
Perfect example of why we don't need clowns like him!
We don't have any sending offs this season.
Though fair enough....I wouldn't want to be sent off knowing I've got too see Lennon afterwards...lol
More inconsistent refereeing, I can.think.of probably 4-5 tackles that have been.same or worse and either resulted in a yellow or no card as it would have meant a second yellow and off ...but glad that thug amongst thugs got a red 😁
Looks like a bad tackle at first but if you pause it you can see that his foot nearly got the ball - maybe that is his hacking guile as he is looking at the man. I think he might get it reduced on appeal - how wrong I was, looking at it straight in makes this statement look stupid so i tae it back (thought I hd not actually posted it tbh)
McGinn today was a trip. There was no chance of the player being injured. McGinns feet were on the ground and he was in complete control of his body. None of the applies the Lafferty. Two totally different situations. Mcginn’s today was a good booking to take.

Are people seriously saying the Ref got that wrong? Probably the same folk that said Cochranes tackle on McGinn in the first Derby was a "Shocker" and deserved a red. Lafferty was wreckless, high and from behind. Imagine the uproar from Potter if Bartley caught one of his young lads in this manner? You think he'd be saying the same stuff? Lennon was bang on re Hearts tactics against us. It's not tough tackling, it's cynical and dangerous. It's desperate stuff and they've carried it into the Aberdeen game. Look at their foul count in the last 30 mins when the Dons were in total ascendancy... 5 yellows and a straight red proves Lennon was absolutely correct in his assessment. Levein would have been a top manager in the 70's.
That will not get overturned. Not ideal for us.
I’m not so sure it will, it was pretty cynical and you can’t really see what was going on just before that footage, looks like another Aberdeen player was on the deck and Hearts players were desperate to stop the Aberdeen attack anyway they could.
Going by the number of other Hearts bookings, it wouldn’t surprise me if the ref had had enough of Hearts blatant fouling.
The guys on Radio Scotland were saying after the game that Beaton took his time and consulted with his assistants before sending him off (contrasting with Collum who "often has the red card out before the foul's been made"!). So my guess is that Beaton was well satisfied that a red card was justified, and I tend to agree with him.
Don't think it can be seen in this clip but the camera caught lafferty winking at a teammate or the bench after Mulgrew was sent off. If I'd been reffing I'd have sent lafferty off just for his haircut.
