I couldn't make yesterday but it looks like we played well and battled hard to get a rrsukt.

[lucky]

Slight push by Stevenson for their pen but really soft

[grunt]

Not in a million years is their red card a red, but swings and roundabouts I guess

Beyond soft.

Looks like we played well though.

No quite. We get them with an hour of the game to play at 0-0. That happened in the 93rd minute with the game done and dusted!

Why are Hibs playing in a hi viz vest every away game?

Raith Rovers aside, why?

Because it's our away strip.

Stevenson is standing on the post. It's McGinn that looks like he's 'pushed' his man.

Sent off on 90+2. That rings a bell.

No swings and roundabouts. 3-1 down and right at the end of the match.

[Onion]

Robust challenge at the end but never a red card. Yet again, should expect this downgraded to a yellow, showing the quality of refereeing.

I agree, definitely a poor tackle deserving of a yellow but not a red IMO.

Also,they should never have been awarded a penalty for the kind of stuff that happens at every corner or ball into the box.

The standard of refereeing in this league is really poor.

Let's get video evidence and we can end a lot of the controversy.

[hibsbollah]

How the incident for our penalty wasn't a red card is just unfathomable. Last man, jumped on his back while running in on the keeper!

Eh? So every team plays green with white sleeves at home against us?

I thought the alternate strip was only used when colours/designs clashed?

[The Green Goblin]

The ref couldn't even get the minute's silence right....

[J-C]

Theirs is a fairly soft penalty but he did clatter the guy in the back of the neck, went down like a sack of spuds though and their red was a yellow at most, a petulant kick from behind that didn't hurt anyone.

[Moulin Yarns]

I think the red card is more for the violent intent. The Pars player was not going for the ball and just wanted to kick out. IMHO of course

[staunchhibby]

Never a red for the dunfy player.Others got away with worse during the game.

That's what I thought as well, though it's a fairly soft red.

Yep I thought it was a bit soft and the Hibs player (Shinnie?) who pushed the offender was lucky he didn't walk too.

[Peevemor]

From the highlights I thought our penalty was the softest of 3 we could have had. Shinnie complained to the ref when the Dunfermline player was booked - did he think it was too much or not enough? For their red, Shinnie should have been booked (at least) for his shove. Their penalty reminds me of the one we got against Dundee Utd. at ER during the Matty Jack throw-in game.

Last man is no longer a sending off offence. (it hasn't been for years, but I digress).

Though having said that, it should have been a sending off as he didn't make an effort to play the ball.

No, the away strip is used in away games funnily enough 😁 Teams do it to promote sales of away tops.

[flash]

I thought both pens were correctly awarded. Red card for intent rather than outcome.

Cheers. Would rather Hibs promoted sales in their normal kit. It's not the same seeing Hibs away from home in pishy hi viz yellow.

Ah. OK.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Softest of soft penalties for their goal, but I suppose some refs would have given it. The ref is allowed to give a yellow in a last man situation in the box if the player has made a genuine attempt to win the ball, not sure how climbing on a players back constitutes that. The push on Boyle in the 2nd half was worse than both of these incidents, but he gives nothing .... no wonder players and fans get frustrated.

Much much better from Hibs in the 2nd half, lets hope we can continue with that type of performance .... the straight red was a wee bit harsh, but I suppose intent more than anything got the guy sent off.

Fantastic turn out from the Hibs support for this one .... Its a shame Dunfermline are in the championship, East End park is 10 times better than half the rubbish in the premiership that pass for stadiums ... a proper football ground.

Hibs should wear the 'Home' strip only, unless there's a clash of colours.


What's really stupid is that both teams were playing in their change strips.

TBH I don't think " last man " was ever a sending off offence, I think it was always "denying a clear scoring opportunity" & of course being the last man fits that description. Having said that you're perfectly correct re the current Law & also re your point about not attempting to play the ball. In fact a red card was appropriate for 2 of the 3 categories as shown in bold/italics below. Alan Muir makes an error, who'd have thought it!!


Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offending player is cautioned unless:

• The offence is holding, pulling or pushing or
• The offending player does not attempt to play the ball or there is no possibility for the player making the challenge to play the ball or
• The offence is one which is punishable by a red card wherever it occurs on the field of play (e.g. serious foul play, violent conduct etc.)

In all the above circumstances the player is sent off.
