McGowan Banned

[machibby]

2 game ban for his headbutt. Sweet. Pity the ref was so incompetent to send him off at the time.

[Cabbage East]

So first goal offside and this little scaff should have been sent off. When the **** do we start gettin some breaks in the derby?

Again an incompetent referee had cost Hibs points. Aberdeen game and the Jumbo game, time the SP hell started using modern technology as it is obvious the refs are not up to the task.

This is what happens when you ask a former HMFC ST holder to ref the New Years Derby. I'd imagine Hertz would like Murray reffing every game they play, based on Monday.

[JimBHibees]

Beggars belief how shafted we were on Monday, what with the offside goal by the other linesman, Murray and the other linesman missing the headbutt. Officials had a great day.

[Sir David Gray]

Shame it'll do absolutely nothing to help our cause.

In fact, considering the fact that one of the matches he'll be suspended for is against Inverness, perversely it may actually harm us!

Exactly, "incompetant" isn't the word I'd use for the refereeing.

explains why i read in one of the match reports that 'Callum Murray can be happy with his afternoon's work'

Plus the fact that Leigh Griffiths was wrongly pulled up for offside in the first half by the linesman on the West Stand side. TV pictures clearly showed that Griffiths was onside and a clear goal scoring opportunity was therefore denied.

[ShanksSaidNo]

Regardless of who the referee was on Monday, we were always goin to get pumped.

Thought that at the time, it would have been almost impossible for him to be off-side in that situation.

Because right now, Hutchison Vale U-15's could probably beat Hibs?

Aye but if we keep trying, then come Saturday morning we'll have convinced ourselves that we really should have won.

Clutching at straws and all that.

[3pm]

It pains me to say it but they deserved to win. However, we may have got our point (or dare I say 3) had we played versus 10 men for 20 minutes.

McGowan also launched the throw in for their 2nd when he should have been off the park. We're poor but we are slightly unfortunate at times as well.

[Crab apple]

Most of the 50/50 decisions went in the ****bos favour. Murray is not the worst ref but defintiely had one of his poorer games. I still believe that it is wrong to put someone in charge of a derby game when that person is well known to support one team (and has confirmed this in an interview early in his career). It wouldn't happen in the Weedge.

Slight hyperbole, but I'm sure even you can work out the general sentiment.

They're a better team than the current mob in green and white - the league position if nothing else highlights as much.

Rubbish, first jumbo goal offside, Hibs first was not....1-0 Hibs,
Webster should have been sent off for the push on O'Hanlon, penalty Hibs, possibly 2-0 Hibs.
Hearts second was scored by Webster who would have been off so still 2-0, then McGowan off Hearts down to 9 men, don't think we would haveodt that game and all genuine as shown on TV. Time the SPL used live tv for contentious decisions.

Does anyone know when the statement about a conspiracy is due from Romanov?

But the incompetent officials did nothing to help our cause, had they correctly gone down to 10 men and that goal had not stood do you honestly think that we would have been as stretched in the final few minutes

The officials didn't loose us that game on Monday. Poor squad, Poor tactics, Limited opportunities created and very few if any shots on targets did. Lets not stoop to the level of the old firm and use conspiracy theories to cover up our inadequacies!

[soupy]

Ach well, personally I think if the game had been played to the letter of the law, more than one BIG decision would have went in our favour. Regardless whether the tactics were s**** or not.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Maybe goes to show that when you are where we are just now, the breaks go against you. It is not like things are going for us and we are throwing them away.

I dont think anyone is arguing we arent poor all they are saying that if you take away the blatantly offside first goal and McGowan gets sent off with what 30 mins to go wouldnt have affected the game. When you look at the game with 11v11 they had very few real goal scoring chances so taking away the first goal and down to 10 we would have definitely got something.

The incompetence of Murray and both linesmen on Monday was staggering IMO. Given also he denied Hibs a stonewall penalty in last New Years game also I dont think he should be anywhere near a derby from now on.
