On the radio they said John mcginn would miss our next two matches. Queens and the Rangers? I thought it would only be the one game...

I assume he he was sent off for serious foul play rather than violent conduct? If that's the case it should be next game & probably one later. If Sevco was next week I have no doubt we would appeal regardless of circumstances. What's folks thoughts? Harsh red or deserved? Any chance of winning an appeal? ( I'm in London so not there today).

Red all day long. No grounds for an appeal IMO.

No chance of winning appeal but if the ref had just booked him I doubt there would be any complaints. Let's hope he's available for ibrox.

Was it? I didn't get a good look because there were players blocking my view. Did he lash out? At least 3 Falkirk players had a nibble as he made his way forward....

BTW not saying I didn't think it was a red card. Genuinely did't see it clearly.

Looked late and straight onto his ankle.

Though with the standard of refs we seem to get I've seen others get away with that this season.

Red for me - though it looked like an assault on Stevenson near the end. Didn't look good at all.

Straight red from my angle. You could tell he was losing the ball and just lunged in. Could have been a bad one and for me no complaints. But I'd still appeal as you just never know.

If you appeal is there not an immediate deferral for the next game and then you would miss the two after that if the ban still stands?

I just thought his studs were up and he completely missed the ball. Also flew in a bit so I don't think he can have any complaints.

You're right though, he could have had a free kick prior to it but tried to keep going.

Ref had no choice. I don't think Stubbs will support an appeal, though it'll be interesting to see what he says about some of the other decisions, eg. Fontaine's booking.

Definite red. Straight leg with studs up. He wasn't having a very good game by his standards and I wondered if his head was in the right place following the death of that young boy. McGinn is still young and may not have had to deal with bereavement before.

Falkirk players reaction + standard inexperienced referee = Red card

Booking, talking to but nothing more...

IMO extremely poor decision :agree:

For me the break effected us today, looked rusty and Falkirk destroyed football with that performance.

Like playing Airdrie in the 90's under Alex MacDonald

It's all about consistency for me, there centre midfielder, Vaulks, gives away two fouls, on the second one shouts in the refs face, throws his arms about and then slams the ball in the ground, no yellow, his next foul he gets booked, he then gives four fouls away second half and escapes a second yellow!

McGinn's wasn't a 'lunge' it was a stretch as the ball was running away from him... The Falkirk player got there first but then rolls around and the rest surround McGinn! The ref raced in like Willie Collum does and it was only ever going to be red, had he given himself a couple of seconds and seen the player wasn't even injured he'd have realised a yellow sufficed!!

Crap referees shouldn't be accepted. That's not sour grapes - just a valid point. We've won lots of matches and I've still walked away shaking my head at refs.

Good referees give themselves time, speak to linesmen etc...

In all seriousness, it's actually frightening the standard we are seeing these days.

That is how I saw it. The ref rushed his decision and Kerr made the most of it.

He was quite inconsistent throughout.

Did think it was a harsh booking for JC as well from FF. Contact was definitely made but he made the most of it which maybe stopped the ref from giving a penalty.

**** this it was a red crap. A Rangers player wouldn't get sent off and recieve a two match ban for it.

We should appeal and if we don't win the appeal, kick up a fuss.

Not a chance a home player at Ibrox gets sent off for the same thing.

How do some teams get acussed of bending the rules by appealing when they know that they have no chance of overturning the red card? Is that just down to logistics when the appeal can't be heard before the next game?

Think so, yeah.

If a player gets sent off on the Wednesday and they have another match on the Saturday then the club concerned may be able to put in a late appeal, which means that their player is able to play on the Saturday.

Considering we don't have a match for another week, there's no chance of that happening.

Not deliberate but he did catch him. Houston said he didn't think it was a red at the time but when he saw the state of Kerr's leg at half time he changed his mind.
Kerr showed the press his injury after the game

Can't believe how many are saying it was deserved. A booking would have been correct. Yeah he caught the boy but never a red. We'd lose an appeal though I'm fairly sure, especially since it would free him up for Ibrox [emoji57]

:agree: It's ironic that it was Vaulks' shot which ultimately led to Falkirk's goal. If the referee had done his job properly Vaulks would not have been on the pitch at that stage of the game. He should have been sent off after having been booked earlier and subsequently committed several bad fouls.

Another example of a referee just not doing his job properly IMO, but as usual nothing appears to get done about it. Until it is, expect more of the same.

And what about Alston their number 6. He should have been off in the first half far less the blatant one Glancy ignored second half:confused:

Here is an example of Aberdeen appealing a challenge recently.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34242317

Appeal not successful = 2 game bad for a red card.

I don't McGinn will get off this and expect him to miss the Rangers game unless we play Morton twice before then.

I had my head in my hands as soon as he made the challenge as I just knew he would be given a straight red. He will be missed alright, but fortunately we have a lot of good quality in the squad and the Hibs midfield will continue to be a very strong one in his absence, however many games that will be.

Dublin07
12-12-2015, 11:06 PM
The most annoyingly thing today was every time a hibs player made a challenge the ref had the card out before he even arrived at the player. Falkirk were fouling all over the place and he would take his time before having a wee chat. The assault on Lewis at the end was worse than McGinns challenge and he didn't even give a foul. For the red card it should have been a foul to hibs before McGinn lost control and caught Kerr late. Ref should have taken his time had a word with his assistant and booked McGinn.

Andy74
12-12-2015, 11:20 PM
Haven't seen it again yet but when you are attacking and just trying to reach a ball on a run a red is over the top unless it's a total shocker.

I think a yellow would have been right.

I'd have thought the ref would also have know about the applause for the young boy and McGinn's part in all that and would have know he may have felt some extra pressure to commit.

Tyler Durden
12-12-2015, 11:38 PM
It was a pretty clear cut red card. It doesn't matter that McGinn was fouled in the build up and McGinns state of mind due to personal circumstances is totally irrelevant.

The ref was poor but that type of challenge is always a red these days. Reckless, dangerous etc

Of course if there's any way we can appeal to ensure he's available for Rangers lets do it.

Fontaines booking was laughable, I couldn't believe it! Hope Stubbs mentions that.

13-12-2015, 06:25 AM
As someone's already said , it seems Stubbsy may appeal it as he didn't think it was worthy of a red. Says he overstretched and caught him. He also said in his interview that Houston agreed - it was only a yellow.

This will run for a bit yet methinks

As it was a straight red, he will automatically miss the next game, regardless of the competition, unless Hibs appeal this week...if, they don't and he misses the QoS game, then the next game or games he will miss will depend on how many disciplinary points this takes him over and the date of the next SPFL meeting to rubber stamp and letter the club with the ban.

In my experience with the standard disciplinary timelines, it will be miss 1 automatically, play the next and miss the next, meaning he should be available for ibrox.

If we appeal pretty sure it would be held this week though it is the SFA we are talking about wouldn't want to cancel a Xmas lunch. It is possible the sending off may take McGinn over the points threshold which would apply 14 days after the event which could rule him out of both games.

If McGinn misses 45 mins of the Falkirk and whole of the QOS and Sevco games for that tackle, then the punishment is over the top. But that suits the SPFL's main objective and our chances on appeal are v low. In fact, better hold your breath at every Hibs tackle next week too !

13-12-2015, 12:40 PM
I've only seen it on Hibs TV & it's not very clear but it's a mistimed tackle, not malicious & it's time refs differentiated between the 2. Commonsense & Scottish refs are unlikely partners though, and as others have said Clancy's red card was out before Kerr hit the ground.

Simply because the ref has made a mistake in this game (shocking challenge from the Sheffield United player) doesn't make McGinns any less of a red.

McGinn's tackle was less of a red than many of these kind of tackles. This was a mistake by McGinn and he got maximum punishment unlike the referee who blundered repeatedly without consequence except to Hibs.

It was a red card but just by a bawhair.

That's old hat.

The clubs get a copy of the referees report and then have 24 hours to appeal it.

The appeal will be heard before the club's next game.

So if the red is upheld then the QOTS game will be his first game suspension.

Depending on how the ref has classified the red will determine if more games are a possibility.

I think it's only violent conduct that carries a ban of more than one game.

I doubt it will be deemed violent conduct.

I agree, see post 2, but the problem is with the blazers we never know when they may be available, especially in holiday time! Again, there's no doubt it will be, sorry, should be classified as serious foul play but the reason red cards often end up costing 2 games is because of the totting up process. In this case if John only has 2 yellows he should be ok with 1 game.

Just watched McGinn's red. I think Hibs have a good case for appealing. Yes he caught the lad but he wasn't out of control, went in with one foot, and it wasn't at speed. He over stretched basically. Going by reports on the radio it was brutal! Was nothing of the kind. Yellow card would have sufficed.

The camera angle isn't great for the Jason incident. The defender dies make contact (however minimal) with his right foot. Jason is going down looking for it though and it looks like a dive but technically it's not and its a pen. Got a good view of it at the time.

What decisions did you disagree with? Can't argue with the bookings for Gray and Fontaine. None of our penalty claims were penalties in the first half.

It really started with Vaulks slamming down the ball in dissent getting let off to continue his thuggery. They were given freedom to hack and hinder repeatedly with no whistles or just finger wags and we got blown and booked. Maybe I had a bad mood or something but I can't remember being as furious at a ref for a long time. He tilted things against us over the game regardless of red cards and penalty decision.

Fontaine is never a booking and the Falkirk player dived. The challenge on Stevenson was assault but again Falkirk player gets away with it.

I was straight in line with the Fontaine challenge in the east and it was definitely a yellow. The boy beat him and was going in to the box, Fontaine through his leg/thigh into the player's path knowing full well what he was doing. It was worth taking a yellow for though IMO.

The ref should have awarded us a penalty when the Falkirk player used his arm to knock the ball out for a corner after about 15/20 mins and he should have given Vaulks a second yellow for his challenge on Keatings in the second half.

If Hibs have access to this image in better quality, and you'd imagine they do, then this should definitely be used as part of the appeal. It shows he got his foot to the ball first and it doesn't appear that he is out of control.

It was a definite red card.

Really unlucky as he was knocked all over the shop and all he was guilty of was a lunge after he came out of the spin but it was a lunge over the ball and that is a red card.

There's no way we'd get this overturned. The only reason I can see for an appeal would be if it could free him up to play Rangers instead of someone else.

I'd be annoyed tbh if Hibs use the money from x number of season tickets/ half season tickets just to give money to the SFA to tell us to bolt.

IIRC, season ticket revenue is ring-fenced to add to the playing squad so the above scenario should not come into it. FWIW, IF McGinn is to miss the game at Ibrox, I think we have to appeal.

There was an almost identical incident in the Spurs game yesterday when the Newcastle forward (Perez?) over ran the ball in the box & dived in just like McG. Alan Smith thought Perez unlucky to get a yellow & commented that Perez had to try & get the ball & it was not a malicious tackle. I made that point earlier, refs are meant to make that assessment, clumsy vs malicious but as Clancy's card was out his pocket almost instantaneously I doubt he made any kind of assessment. Re 1 game ban, that's what it should be, violent conduct is fighting/attacking a player, serious foul play is meant to be for a foul only.

Suspensions incurred by players shall be served in the competition in which they are incurred and shall be measured by the relevant team of the club (i.e. the team in which the player normally plays) playing the requisite number of matches.
The following qualification applies:-



– A player who is sent off for serious foul play or violent conduct is suspended automatically until such time as his club's team(s) has completed a match in a competition for which he would otherwise be eligible for selection.


– A player who is sent off for spitting at an opponent or any other person is suspended automatically until such time as his club’s team(s) has completed its next two matches in competitions for which he would otherwise be eligible for selection.

Making contact with the ball is irrelevant. You can interpret that photo as both feet of the ground and appears to be more stamping down on the ball.
The one thing does show for me this is serious foul play 1 match ban as he went for the ball definitely not violent conduct.
Law 12 SFA rules - serious foul play "jumps at a opponent " doesn't matter about making contact with the ball.
Also Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the

front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force
and endangering the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.

At ER i thought it was a red but now watched it about ten times...and not sure...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/scotland/35088597 - 1 min 45 seconds

I don't think it is 2 footed - he goes in with left leg over stretched and his right with momentum follows through.

It is high and on the leg - but I see it more as reckless and late. If you are Kerr I am sure it hurt but we all all seen more worse which only gets a yellow.

I would say it's definitely a yellow but not 100% sure it's red and deserves a 2 game ban. Yellow and 15 minute sin bin would have made sense :greengrin

Thought it was going to be a red as soon as he left the ground - no complaints from me. I actually thought the ref got all the big calls pretty much right from where I was sat, although I accept that some feel differently and may have had a better view of things. Hopefully McGinn just misses the QOS game - what a blow it would be if he was out for Ibrox.

14-12-2015, 02:29 PM
I'm in two minds over the tackle. I don't think there was the slightest hint of malice in it and thought at the time a yellow card would probably have been good enough. However, having seen it on T.V. I can see why it was a straight red, although by the ref's reaction you would have thought McGinn was trying to slice Kerr in two with a machete, he couldn't get the card out of his pocket quick enough. There was absolutely no consideration given to circumstances in the build up to the challenge.

If it turns out to be a two match ban, which I can't possibly see how it would be, unless it takes him over the points limit, then appeal, but if it's a one match ban, just take it on the chin and move on.

For the league the points system was done away with a couple of seasons ago.

Its now 6 bookings 1 game, 12 bookings 2 games, etc (Cups are 2 or 3 bookings depending on the round that you enter at and booking in the league and cup comps are dealt with separately).

2 bookings in a game is an automatic 1 game suspensions in that competition (don't carry league to cup and visa versa) and the cards don't count to the 6 or to the cup running total as a suspension has been served.

Red cards I think are dealt with separately and fall into 1 and 2 games suspensions - Think there is also some sort of totting up system if you get a second or third red in the same season. Red cards are the only offence that crosses over into the league and cup comps.



Regardless of what we might think - its a red card any I'd be embarrassed if we tried to appeal it. He's lunged in and in the modern game you just cant do that.

The Leith Dutch

Definite red surely - he's going in studs up.
Haven't read the rules lately in any great depth but I've seen a variety of challenges and studs up is pretty much always a red.
Most football fans instant reaction to sliding in studs up is "that's a red".

It surely isn't violent conduct though - that would have to be a deliberate attempt to injure or off the ball.

Difficult to find exact definitions but this would seem to suffice:
'Serious foul play is a foul committed using excessive force (i.e., "the player...is in danger of injuring his opponent")'

What I don't understand is why they're appealing it - it's a one match ban whether it's Serious foul play or violent conduct unless it takes him over the disciplinary threshold which, with two previous yellows it doesn't. A failed appeal is an automatic two match ban. I think you accept he's not playing QotS and get him back for the sevco match.

Surely the appeal is either Hibs knowing something we don't that suggests he'd be unavailable for the sevco match or they don't quite know the rules?

That's the bit I don't get - everything I've read says one match ban.

The only thing that makes it a two match ban is that a red quite often takes you over the disciplinary threshold but that's not the case here (I think) as McGinn only has two yellows.

Not in any way doubting you as I only know what I've read on the SFA site today so would genuinely would like to understand why it's a two match ban :)

One thing we shouldn't do & that's get over anxious about John missing a couple of games. When AS was going out & signing midfielders in the summer there were people on here questioning the necessity. We started on Saturday without Dylan, Marvin & Liam & lost John before h/t. The other players, notably Fraser stepped up. We have the strongest squad in many years, I have no doubt we won't be find wanting if we lose John for 1 or 2 games.

As it stands, I think McGinn has been give a two-match ban for 'violent conduct'.

However, if the SFA review it and come to the conclusion that it is 'serious foul play' which many journalists and pundits have mentioned then they will rescind it to a one-game ban, meaning he could play at Ibrox.

Anything other than 'serious foul play' is absolutely shocking, in my opinion. It's totally obvious for all to see that there was no malice in the tackle and labelling it 'violent conduct' is simply laughable.

My understanding is that violent conduct is punching, kicking, spitting etc and not being rash or late when trying to win the ball which JM was doing. I don't see this being anything other than foul play and the punishment is 1 game. If he goes over the threshold then he will be banned for the game in Govan (normally kicks in 2 weeks after the threshold is breached and as our game is the Monday it will definately be in force by then).

A player who is sent off for serious foul play, violent conduct or spitting at an opponent or any other person, will have 12 penalty points added to his applicable League disciplinary record. In addition, he will automatically be suspended in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 3.8.

When a player has accumulated a total of 18 or more penalty points in a League competition during a season, or of any extension thereof, he will be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with a Fixed Scale of Suspensions as provided for in Paragraph 3.7.2.


Do we know if it's two or three points per booking? If three, that would take him to the 18 point threshold. I'm not sure if they also count public holidays in that 14 day period. Looks like he could miss the hun game if it's a straight 14 days.

Point don't exist anymore for player discipline. 14 days is non applicable as this only relates to yellow cards - the red card he was issued is a two game suspension and would take effect immediately so would miss the next two games.

Summary from the current Rules:rules:

Offence suspension application of suspension accumulation of six cautionable offences in the same competition.
1 match dated suspension (For every further accumulation of six cautionable offences, the suspension applied will be extended by one match.) effective from 14th day following date of match when sixth cautionable offence occurred and to be served in the same competition.

Serious Foul Play (A1)
Violent Conduct (A2)
Spitting at an opponent or any other person (A3)

Well, if he is out for the The Rangers game - they will have to change their game plan to come up with someone else to kick the crap out of (without any bookings / freekicks). Might confuse them.

Agree when you compare the tackle Ball put in on him in that game and the one McGinn got sent off for on Saturday, asbolute night and day. One a yellow I think the other straight red.

If Hibs have access to this image in better quality, and you'd imagine they do, then this should definitely be used as part of the appeal. It shows he got his foot to the ball first and it doesn't appear that he is out of control.

Just shows you how pictures do lie.

Solution,

Let's offer to play Morton midweek no McGinn, they'd probably except as it means we're weaker and he's back for the Hun game.

Ours is a strong squad if we have everyone available .If McGinn is missing next two games , Mcgeoch injured and hasn't played for weeks so even if now fit ,he isn't match fit ,and Henderson just back for second half against Falkirk after mystery virus ,
so need to see how he has been this week .
It's not ideal for a trip to Ibrox and a game we don't want to loose
Hopefully Hendo gets full 90 minutes v Queen of The South and Mcgeoch gets some game time as if his first game back is at Ibrox he won't last 90'minutes and Bartley has also been out injured so would be good for him to get game time against Queens

It's not the best photo ever taken, but it does show McGinn's foot on the ball. All be it the top of the ball. Yellow for me :wink:

Making contact with the ball is irrelevant. You can interpret that photo as both feet of the ground and appears to be more stamping down on the ball.
The one thing does show for me this is serious foul play 1 match ban as he went for the ball definitely not violent conduct.
Law 12 SFA rules - serious foul play "jumps at a opponent " doesn't matter about making contact with the ball.
Also Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the

front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force
and endangering the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.





Apparently making contact with the ball isn't irrelevant... :greengrin

Delighted and we move forward to Saturday......

I don't doubt that McGinn was aggressive, but no more aggressive than the challenges that went in on him during the same passage of play.

Kerr made the most of it, and had that tackle been meant to hurt, rather than try to retreive the ball, Kerr would never have been able to continue.

I'll stop short of calling him a cheat but I will be very surprised if he, or any of the other Falkirk players 'mortally wounded' on Saturday are unable to play this weekend.

Always thought a yellow card would have sufficed. The referee was too quick to grab his card from his pocket and the reaction of the Falkirk players didn't help.

That decision could cost us the league title at the end of the season.

The red was right on the spot and he was in no doubt, that's his job. The opposition players reacted just like any other group of players, nowt unusual to be fair.

By the standards of the modern game, lunging in like that is always going to put you in danger of a red.
I thought it was a stupid tackle, no chance of the ball and just a bit of the old red mist descending.

McGinn's a lucky boy, it could have cost us more and we didn't lose ground. Hopefully it's a lesson learned for him.

As others say, the league is the for the winning, plenty fitbaw to come and if we maintain our form and our nerve we can do it.

There is a cost involved in appealing so we don't usually gamble on it. Stubbs thought there were grounds and was vindicated by the decision. Somebody called it wrong - the ref and many on here. Stubbs and the authorities got it right.

I still think the red was warranted but given that Falkirk had only one yellow shown despite their usual overly aggressive approach to the game I think it's a fair result. For us to have three yellows and a red to their single yellow was ludicrous.

Let me assure you that not many people would think it harsh if it was an opponent tackling our player and rightly so. The authorities have got it wrong again but I'm not raging because having watched it live and countless replays I still think it was a red all day. Happy days though we get our player back and another right is wronged or wrong is righted :-)

No, we wouldn't be raging if we got to play one of our rivals and they were reduced to ten for the entire second half and we achieved a result we didn't deserve as a result.
If the red were subsequently reduced to a yellow I might even laugh.

I would guess the card was recinded for two reasons.

First of all, McGinn is actually fouled directly before his attempt to get the ball, knocking him off balance and making him late. The primary reason is he isn't control of the tackle is because of this, and we should have had a penalty.

Secondly, there was no malicious intent. Because he was sent off for "Serious Foul Play", there usually has to be intent for this to apply - it is what is otherwise known as a Professional Foul.

With these things in mind, reduction from a red to a yellow is probably the fairest result that a panel could give, although the referee should have given a penalty on the day.

Agree with your first point and can be the only logical explaination as to the change. I do disagree with your second point though. A red for serious foul play does not necessarily mean their is intent but rather an outcome. Intent for me would be a red for violent conduct. Both carry the same 2 game ban which I think is bonkers as one is pre meditated and the other not.
My previous point I was making quite a few posts ago was there was a lot if folk who seemed to think that it should only be a red if there is intent. I clumsily was making the comparison of it only being a foul if there is intent to try and highlight that.

Not sure your interpretation is right (while I agree with most of what you've said on the subject). If he's gone for the ball, recklessly, intentfully or otherwise, then Serious Foul Play and often a red. Violent Conduct is another state of affairs and seldom one that can be levelled against a player attempting to play the ball or the man that has the ball. Usually reserved for punches, headbutts, slaps, kicks off the ball. Or,correctly booting **** out of Crystal Palace fans in the case of Eric Cantona.

I think that if John McGinn is fit and available, he's pretty much the first name on the team sheet for every single match.

If he gets booked tomorrow, he won't miss the Sevco game.
