Did he blast the ball at Maybury, or did Alan stick his foot out to block a quick free kick? Looked like Grainger was pretty aggressive, but it also looked like Maybury stuck a leg out, which would have been a booking for Alan? He was lucky to be on the pitch at that point anyway.
Maybury got a yellow for not being ten yards back. The jambo got a straight red for violent conduct. That was my take on it.

It was his 2nd booking and it would have been for ungentlemanly conduct rather than violent.

Definitely a second yellow as the ref showed the yellow then red cards.

Was a 2nd yellow i think mate

Yeh it was a second yellow for booting the ball at Maybury, really stupid from grainger. He just seemed to lose it when maybs stood in front of the free kick. Completed the satisfied feeling from the match that did.

Both, I think. Marbury blocked the free kick, and got booked for it, and Grainger blasted the ball against him in retaliation for blocking the free kick. Unless I'm remembering wrongly.

Grainger blasted the ball at maybury therefor intending to hurt him so it should have been straight red for violent conduct :cb

Put it this way if Maybury wasn't in the way then there may have been a fatality in the west stand.

Could tell he was getting more wound up as the game went on. Should've been booked way before he initially was. Had a right good chuckle when he got the red.

100% agree. If it wasn't intentional he wouldn't have taken any action at all so it was either no card or straight red. Fully deserved a straight red IMHO.

Straight red seems a harsh punishment for booting the ball at someone, but if that's the rules then maybe the ref got it wrong. Dunno if my memory is playing up here but was there not a card shown in a derby a good while back at ER for someone booting the ball at an opponent? I can't mind who \ what happened or when so I might be making it up.....

It was certainly intentional, it was right in front of me, and he wanted to hurt Maybury where it hurts. He's absolutely crap as well

That decision was a joke and probably only example in world football of a player being sent off for booting the ball at an opponent. Especially since the ball was arguably in play.

I laughed like ***** today at Grainger getting sent off but looking at the rules I think refs are pretty harsh to penalise players taking the free kick. The rules are that players have to retreat. Maybury failed to do so - really it's up to Grainger if he chooses to smash it against Maybury. Anyway the ref viewed it as ungentlemanly conduct without doubt.

Putting aside brief moment of sympathy I loved the fact Maybury had snapped at his heels all the way up the line and stood tall after Grainger smashed into his nether regions - MOTM for me.

But if someone wants to take a quick free kick they have to have the refs permission. If thats not given then technically the ball is not in play so Grainger hit Maybury with the ball while it was dead. Thats my tKe on it. Anyway GIRFUY jambo prick

If he picked the ball up and threw it at him would you think a red card was harsh Dave? It was violent conduct and the only surprise is that it was the 1 time during the game that the managed to find the player they were aiming for!

It wisnae violent conduct-it was acting in an unsporting manner. That's why Grainger AND Maybury
got yellow cards-it's just that our ex jambo was way cleverer than their ex jambo...... oh, and the fact Grainger had already had a yellow :)

Nah. That relies on two things - one Hearts actually making it to the end of the season and St Mirren taking no action to try to turn things around - like signing new players in January. Even if St Mirren struggle to a dismal 20 points Hearts need another 28 and that's looking increasingly beyond them.

Snapped!

Having just watched the highlights, I would say that he didn't deserve the 2nd booking - for me he was simply trying to take the free kick (although I'm not sure why it was given in the first place).

Must have hurt maybury though who was determined not to flinch.

I have a growing respect for Alan maybury, he plays to his strengths and barely gets it wrong - although when it does go wrong it usually costs us

Zoubir was a definite highlight. Overall I thought Hibs looked better. Still not totally there and clicking yet: I can't imagine for example, that yesterday's performance would be enough to see off the likes of Celtic or other tougher opposition at the moment: Aberdeen, ICT. I think Saints had little up front to trouble us and the defence was reasonably solid.

Definitely heading in the right direction.

You only need to read Grainger's twitter timeline to see his (odd?) Hatred for us - its like the pish scatchel does, and again, that is odd too??

Do these guys get some weird drugs when they sign for hearts?

Seems rare for ex-hibs players to hold that level of hatred.

I know it wasn't given by the ref as violent conduct. My point was that it should have been.

jane_says

22-09-2013, 07:53 PM

Can't agree. Before he "took" he free kick the ref was already blowing wildly on his whistle. Grainger knew he wasn't being allowed to take it but blasted it against Maybury. At first, yes, he looks up and is actually preparing to take it, but when the ref starts blowing his whistle three or four times to tell him to wait, his frustrations boil over and he blasts it at Maybury.

Well, that's how I saw it anyway. :greengrin

Haha let's be honest if we were 2-0 down and Stevenson tried to get the game going quickly only for someone to put his foot in front of the ball, then got sent off for it, we'd have steam coming out our ears.

Anyway, GIRUY Grainger. Clearly really wound up and topped off a grand aftenoon

That's not what happened though, is it? Grainger willfully blootered the ball at Maybury in the hope the ref would punish the Hibs man for not retreating. Unfortunately for Grainger he's like most Hearts cretins and his one brain cell got him a deserved second yellow card.

Remember seeing a tweet from Grainger the day he left Hearts and he couldn't help but slate Hibs in it. I mean you only get 160 characters in a tweet and yet he still found it important to have a dig at us. Loser. Great entertainment watching him get wound up then lose it yesterday

He was getting it really tight from everyone in the East.

Also I saw him getting screamed at by the St Mirren fans as well. In the first half when he collided with Robertson and went over to check on him while the game was still in play, a good number of St Mirren fans were going nuts at him for checking if Robertson was ok rather than focusing on the game.

If a hibs player took time out while the ball was in play to check on an opponent who'd taken nothing more than a 'sair yin', I'd be screaming at him too.

On a slightly different topic to the sending off, I though Maybury was outstanding on Saturday, possibly even MOTM for me. Reading the Scottish Hun this morning, Bill Leckie gives him 6 out of 10 saying he was the obvious weak link. I must have been at a different game to him :confused:

If he was taking a quick freekick and Maybury got in the road Maybury would get a yellow and that would be that.

The force, and direction Grainger hit the ball shows he wasn't taking a freekick to any of his players, he's either aiming for Maybury or trying to kill someone in the west.

:agree:

Also, Grainger was clearly wound up by the foul from Maybury that led to the free kick in the first place. There's no argument there, its a definite sending off :fenlon
