Hibs v Partick Thistle

[BlackSheep]

Seems I’m in the minority. Right in front of me and yes it’s a foul. Yes he didn’t need to make the challenge but my immediate impression was yellow was harsh.

He had a few fouls after the first yellow that could have merited a yellow, so i think he was finally given his marching orders due to the accumulation of fouls not necessarily that specific foul.

What struck me during the game was how badly Thistle must have played at Tynecastle to concede three goals to the yams a couple of weeks ago as I thought they looked quite decent on Saturday, especially in the first half. However, they pointed out on Sportscene that Archibald had made five changes to the side so I guess he got the balance better.

I actually thought we got away with a poor performance (especially in first half) because they were poor.

As for the challenge discussed above. I thought it was a shocker at the time.. having watched the highlights I still think it was a clear yellow card. Stupid challenge when on a booking.

Yes, I take your point. We were well below par in the first half which probably gave Thistle a bit of encouragement, but having witnessed how bang average Hearts are this season I'd have thought that if Thistle had displayed even some of the positivity they showed at ER they wouldn't have lost so meekly at Tynecastle.

Yep fair enough - and you’re correct re hearts. :)

Hibs are a scalp whereas Hertz are a run of the mill game for teams like Partick so it’s no surprise they raise their game to play us.
