Stevenson/Walker (Both offered 2 game ban)

[Turkish Green]

I thought AS was a wee bit naive calling for the compliance officer to look at Walker's action as Stevenson's rake was the far more serious.

Just let it die.

It may just be me but I think people are making a mountain out of a molehill, certainly don't think it's worth anything retrospective. It was handbags and I will be very surprised if anyone is punished

I agree. Stupid behaviour by Stevenson and a laughable head butt gesture by Walker. The ref chose not to hand out any punishment, it should be left at that.

I'm glad he booted the wee ****

Aye he did a great job.......of completely killing the game for Hearts. We scored with 3 minutes to go and the ball was never back out of our half after that.

If either of them get banned I will be surprised. Stevenson was a bit daft but it was a booking at best. The Hearts boy didn't try to headbutt him IMO. It was handbags.

BBC Scot actually mentioned Walker's 'attempted head-butt' on Lewis (yeah I know - shocked me too) but BT (Andy Walker) despite showing the replay, concentrated solely on Lewis and didn't mention it at all - if anything, Walker probably needed some tissues to 'wipe himself-off' after !. He's an ex-Hibee but another one who seems to have a 'dislike' for us - why is this ??.

P.s - just watched the highlights and their penalty - ok, Robertson was pushing (both of them were) but if you watch the slow-motion replay (from behind the goals), at the moment Sow went down, Robertson wasn't doing it, it's more a case of Sow pushing himself off Robertson and theatrically falling !. Not long there but he's picked up their 'habits' already - must be their training.

as he then got up and took the penalty himself.

On topic: I haven't seen replays but Stevenson's kick looked pretty naughty (would have to see again before giving my opinion on whether it deserved a card and what colour.. likely at least yellow though)

However, I seen Walker's "headbutt" first time. If Stevenson had chosen to fall to the ground holding his head.. Walker is sent off. Was clear to see the motion which these days would be treated as a red. I would be happy just forgetting about all of yesterday though... including this incident.

Andy Walker's commentary on it was as bad as either player's part.

[skipster7]

Load of nonsense being written here. Hearts were happy to keep the ball in the corner for a full 2 minutes if required. Lewis got frustrated just as the Livi boys did last week when we done it.If your going to do that in the corner you can expect a kick. Nobody died move on.

He did

Dangerous play not worse than violent conduct by any stretch.

[ancient hibee]

Refs know this is always a flashpoint so they are quick to get in and separate players which is what the ref and the linesman did to stop anyone being really silly.They did it well no need to book anyone -time to move on.

[PatHead]

Must admit I am pleased to see Hibs standing up for themselves about the "headbutt" incident. We moan about the board letting folk walk all over us and accepting decisions lying down. Good to see a change in attitude.

If we keep it up we will highlight bad referees.

Lewis and Walker offered two match bans by the SFA for the incident

Was always going to happen. Stubbs was silly to bring up the Walker incident imo as Lewis' kick was the worse of the two offences

Great. We have played three competitive games and have effectively had three players sent off. This small squad better start screwing the nut or it's going to be a long season.

Chance for Booth to cement his place now I suppose.

[Boyle89]

Accept and move on. Booth in for lewis.

How long are Robertson and Sow suspended for?

Robertson will be one game, but will be available at the weekend as it was two yellows. IIRC it kicks in 14 days after the offence. If he's totted up enough points from previous bookings he might miss a second game.

Sow will automatically miss the next game for a straight red.

1 game for Robertson and 3 for the thug

[Velma Dinkley]

I would think Sow's suspension could lead to Hearts dropping points. At least we have players who can step into our midfield for Robertson.

David Tanner of Sky mentioned it in the coverage though only referring to Lewis so dont think anything Stubbsy said would have mattered.

Sure i heard him saying that Walker should have walked for the headbutt. There was no way Walker was gonna face a ban and not Lewis

[TowerHibs]

This trial by telly is excessive though. At what point will it end. Now for attempted bad tackles.

All interpretation which leaves everything open to debate. This new boy seems worse than Vincent lunny

Don't think that's right.

The 14 day thing only applies to players who receive a booking which puts them over the points threshold.

A player who is sent off in a match automatically misses the next match as far as I'm aware.

You could be right. It wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong

Thats right a player sent off for 2 bookings like Robertson misses the next game in the same competition e.g League. If violent conduct he misses next game in whatever competition.

Not if certain tv programmes were highlighting one and not the other. Lewis was always going to get his knuckles wrapped at best so I think Stubbs was just highlighting Walkers part in the incident as others seemed to be glossing over it.

Was Sow's not a second yellow rather than a straight red? Might be getting mixed up with Robertsons. Im at a funny age.
