Naismith and MacLean

[JimBHibees]

Didn’t appreciate that!

Even bigger joke

So, excuse my ignorance, why is that?

Very good question, makes no sense.

They have 48 hours to decide whether to appeal or not.

I'm sure as a responsible organisation, they will appreciate how this act is perceived and decide not to appeal....and fine the player

Presumably, if they "accept" it tomorrow, he misses the game.


Like that's gonny happen. :greengrin

[CapitalGreen]

Ban won't kick in until after the derby so he'll be playing tomorrow night, time to bring out of the old 'Beast' chant.

[PatHead]

Should shout handball every time he goes near a Hibs player.

[Northernhibee]

TBf didn’t Marvin have a “moment” with a Dundee player last year?

[Deansy]

If it gets much dirtier than poking fingers up bums and the cupping of bollox then we are in for some homo-erotic action.
Throw in Halloween I reckon we have a movie. Just don’t Google BBC for it.

What 2 match ban for handling the ball lol

[Billy Whizz]

What 2 match ban for handling the ball lol

Wonder how he’s going to explain that to the Lady Complainvr officer

Also says on here, McLean says he’s been doing this for years

Sexual assault, jail the beast.

[My_Wife_Camille]

It's not sexual harrassment though it's gamesmanship - he was trying to put him off his game not angling for a spot of nookie
Another dinosaur. Deary me.

Educate yourself.

[G B Young]

They’ll appeal, same as they did for Naismith before the final derby last season

Sadly they’re perfectly within their rights to do so but it makes a mockery of the banning and suspension rules

On what grounds could they launch an appeal? According to the new legislation "an act directed towards the private parts of a player on the field is now being considered an act of 'brutality' and is deemed violent conduct."

Footage of the incident makes the offence clear as day so I can't see what possible defence Hearts could have.

[heretoday]

An appalling assault by McLean. Quite rare in this day and age too which makes him a bit of a pervert to be honest.

[huggie1875]

Last time we did that there was December 1999 (Millenium derby). 18 years, 35 games ago. Highly unlikely.


over due then:wink:

[SRHibs]

When McLean does it he’s a disgusting pervert and it’s “sexual assault” but it’s top bants when Bartley shoves his hand up someone’s arse. 😂

That was self defence imo

[McD]

It's "just a laugh" though. Levien's players using Levien's vocabulary.


I’m sure he’ll see it as ‘just a laugh’ when a defender goes through him from behind, or takes him out round the knee

If you did that to a stranger in the street would you not be charged and possibly put on the sex offenders list?

It’s already been pointed out on here somewhere - if you lunge in on a passer by on the street with a both feet off the ground you’d get your collar felt, but on a football pitch it’s a two match ban. I think there has been some major over reaction to this incident.

Cmon......he fingered him at most, No way was that a full fist.

In all seriousness though, you’re not the first person to bring up the comparison, Why would we, as hibs fans be jumping up and down protesting and arguing the case for one of our own players to be suspended?

If he had been punished I don’t think we would have had many justifiable complaints, wouldn’t stop us from complaining though, that’s just how it works.

More comparable would be Big Dunc getting jailed for assault on the pitch no? Big difference between an attempt at a tackle versus what has happened here

I think Ferguson was on probation at the time with a string of convictions for assault and what not which made the case a bit different, but I hear what you’re saying. I’d still say headbutting someone is a bit more serious than a dunt to the baws.

[Hibees1973]

Hearts have ‘Save the Children’ across their jerseys. MacLean while wearing the captains armband behaves like this. Maybe Hearts should change their jersey to say ‘Stop having Children’. Anne Budge does seem an honourable person but she has given the Hearts players a high expectation to live up to by having this on their jersey. Obviously MacLean does not match these expectations. Should never be made captain again.

Ridiculous comment mate. It was a game of football, thats it. Our Marv done something similar remember...

I can't see how they could appeal as Levein is on record confirming the player did it and had been doing so for years before it was deemed a cardable offence. If they do so after that I hope a massive extention is given for time wasting and playing the system.

When was it not a cardable offence?

[monktonharp]

He's a rat but he's not pish.

If you think he is then in my opinion you've not got a very good understanding of the game.outwith my understanding of the game, he's a rodent.cant be denied, not even from you

[monktonharp]

I am not a Naismith fan but he has been their best player this season and would/could cause us issues.

If he is indeed missing tomorrow evening then that is one less goal threat to worry about.

I am however cautious and it would be silly to totally right them off given our record at Tiny!




Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalkwe know you are not a NAISMITH FAN. that's a given. he Isnae playing, that's defo.he Could have caused us issues but he no longer can. he is indeed missing tomorrow. I agree, its a derby. anything can happen, it' s there home patch and they will fight . we will make a fist of it though, because our manager is the kind that wont lie down and make things easy for them. All to play for, and we will be up for it

It’s not really targeted towards those looking for him to be suspended, and more aimed at the “sexual assault” accusers.

Save the Children as an organisation aren't exactly squeaky clean in terms of sexual misconduct. As far as I can tell it was a booking if seen at the game and probably a red if spotted after by the beaks. If the player who was "assaulted" does feel it was a sexual assault he should feel entirely at liberty to go to the Police who should then investigate in the same manor as any offence.

A booking would have meant a second yellow.
