Ian Black

**TamHibs** · 23-04-2012 07:18 PM

If Black was booked against St Johnstone & Celtic, shouldn't he be suspended for the final?

***bingo70*** · 23-04-2012 07:23 PM

No, would need to be sent off for violent conduct in the last game of the season.

Hope we don't build him up to be someone he's not before the final, last few derbies we've given him far too much respect, I'm not talking about someone clattering him early doors, I think he quite enjoys that and takes confidence from it, if we put someone on top of him and stop him playing he'll find that far more frustrating but imo we've played into his hands far too much recently

heard today from a couple o jambos he was suspended for final

**~~Hibernia Na Eir~~** · 23-04-2012 07:25 PM

He's a cross-eyed junkie.

**TamHibs** · 23-04-2012 07:25 PM

Sorry should have clarified. I meant he was booked against St Johnstone in the 3rd Round & then again against Celtic in the semi.

No he missed the St Johnstone replay as he had been booked in a previous round. He is ok for the final.

He wasn't booked against Auchinleck.

Take it from someone who was at the game he was booked. I'm happy that barring injuries both teams can play their strongest teams. I would grant an amnesty for the final each year so unless someone gets sent off in semi then then bookings should not be carried forward. Far better spectacle with best 22 players on pitch

Couldn't agree more.

Except for Hearts, and especially except for Ian Black that is

It's easy to see things that way when you know your teams main 11 looks better on paper than the oppositions.

**Prof. Shaggy** · 23-04-2012 08:20 PM

I'm not understanding this.
I've checked the BBC, ESPN Soccernet, Sky Sports and the Guardian and none of them have Black down as being booked against Auchinleck.
Surely they can't all be wrong?

Yep, totally agree with this. I have awful memories of the Hibs 2nd XI that played against Hearts in the semi-final not that long ago.

Here is a list from the SFA site from 12th January which I assume was just after the Auchinleck game indicating Black sitting on a booking.

Yeah went & checked the preview of the replay against ST J, BBC site didn't have him down for a booking against Auchinleck. I can now clarify for a mate 100% ;)
