That Oli's wasn't given was absurd...

But how Sparky's wasn't given actually defies belief...

I can just about understand how the officials made a huge mistake last night but the Griffiths goal was simply corrupt. I think I’m right in saying that, had the goal stood, we wouldn’t have been in the relegation play off spot.

What was the most corrupt was JFs header at tiny. Yards onside and could ( and probably would )have kept us up.Who was that linesman?

As already said , different season but I’m sure we would have made top six if that goal had been given .

The Sparky free kick was as corrupt as you'll ever see, absolutely defied belief that that wasn't given. The ball was miles over the line! It wasn't even close!

Absolutely no excuse for getting that wrong, especially since it was a set piece therefore the officials specifically set themselves up in position to see these things. It wasn't even as if hibs broke quickly and the linesman was running to get back with the play where MAYBE his position wasn't as good. Even still though, it was so far over that you really didn't have to be in the perfect line of sight. It was so clear, every single person in the stadium knew fine well it was a goal.

As ridiculous a decision you'll ever see. Only Hearts could get away with something like that!

At least Leigh got some 'justice' later that season:

The fact he was able to hit arguably an even better free kick against the same opponents speaks volumes for his ability with a dead ball.
