Laughatme is shown a straight red today for "excessive force". Is that the same a violent conduct and subsequently a ban must be served i the next competetive match, even though its the cup?

I think a straight red card automatically misses the next fixture, regardless of compitition
He probably got himself sent off deliberately so he wouldn’t have to face us in the cup. It must be hard for him knowing he could’ve signed for us, but chose that mob.
Video clip of tackle:

I've seen worse tackles this season not been shown reds - Stevie Mays on Boyle and Harry Cockring on SJM.
Of course they should have been red though so thats not saying much.
Potter will appeal no doubt.
No effort to play the ball in the slightest, serious foul play/endangering the opponent,if that gets rescinded it's a total joke
Cowards tackle, red all day I think they will win the appeal though considering what Jack has got away with this year.
I’ll be honest, would be disappointed if we got a red for that . At that angle anyway
Seen an awful lot worse go unpunished. The player brought down wants to get on with the game and his teammates have got the hump. Would expect that to be challenged.
Jambo tackle that. The one on McGinn by their wee sperm of a midfielder in the first derby was far worse though.
Given a couple of Ryan Jack's successful appeals they'd be daft not to appeal that.
Not sure that is more than a yellow
On Alba now
If I hadn't known in advance that it was Lafferty, then I'd have said a yellow card was appropriate.
Since it was Lafferty, it should be a six match ban based on him being a thug.
Looks like a yellow.
All the pundits on Sportsound said it was a red. Okay he is a Don but Richard Gordon called him a disgrace. He wasn’t just referring to the tackle but his entire attitude to football.
So does he miss the cup game ? If they appeal then surely the beaks will have dealt with it before we play.
Did lafferty not get an Aberdeen player sent off by falling to the ground after a non headbutt?
Definite yellow, red harsh and would expect to be appealed.
In isolation that’s harsh.......however it’s about bloody tike someone took them to task for their ridiculous tactics.
I think they should be sending players off for challenges like that.
It has to be considered violent conduct, there is literally no attempt to play the ball so what else can it be?
He's gone into that challenge with one intention and one intention only, and that's to bring down the Aberdeen player. He's gone in with plenty force and at a bad height.
Red card all day long.
Levien said it was unfair.Reason? He only just missed the ball! Willie Miller was pretty dismissive of that.
It's Lafferty... definitely a red... just for being him. Thug!
Straight red and should have another red added for his attitude to the ref after he was dismissed. Compliance officer please note.
Red all day long. Can’t tackle someone half way up their legs.
If that is a red McGinns today was also a red.
Think that clip is slowed down as well.....would look worse in real time.
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.

Hearts to appeal
Just about to come on sportscene
I doubt they will be appealing after seeing that second angle. A complete assault.
That’s an awful challenge. It’s almost an exact replica of Cochranes on McGinn at ER. Wasn’t sure from what I saw last night on line but that second angle on Sportscene comfirms the thuggery. Shocker. Wasting the cash on appealing that. They would be better served putting the cash tiwards better chairs in hospitality.
No attempt to play the ball. If the streak of p1sh had an ounce of co-ordination about him he'd have snapped Shinnie's leg, which was obviously his intent.
Cowardly assault.
Says on BBC website they are appealing the red card???????
No chance will that get rescinded
That new angle from the BBC...no way he plays in the cup.
Oh and I love the way they laid the trap for Levein to spout utter urine make the appeal and then release the tape.
A big seeth on kickback about this
Doesn't it cost the club 1000 pounds to appeal which they forfeit if they lose? Let the dafties waste their money lol.......
[QUOTE=Thecat23;5263935]Any links to the new angle? It’s a red from the first angle I honestly can’t believe some think it’s not.[/QUOTE
i used to witness these kind of tackles, and was on the end of a few, in the old Maybury league!
Words fail me. Horrendous challenge but totally in keeping with the jamboesque take on hoofball. They are brutal to watch and cowardly like their manager.
Is there any decision against yams their manager doesn't consider harsh?
