I love SJM.

For a bit of context, Dikamona initially tweeted to the SPFL twitter account about it.

Also, check Dikamona’s raging reply ������

[SMAXXA]

It’s bad enough pundits trying to get players banned by compliance officer never mind fellow professionals 🙈 sooo Hearts

[Bostonhibby]

He's an "ace" ?

So this is what you get with all that money we keep hearing about.

I’m not nornally quick off the mark. FWIW I think SJM was right to call out the jambo for alerting the authorities. I’m sure Mark Milligan hasn’t felt the need to contact them about the kick he received from Scott Wright on Friday.

Noticed this tag on brokeback when I was perusing their meltdown last night. What's that all about... or is it just another random glorification of one of their mediocre 'aces'?

[Bostonhibby]

He's a Jambo soldier don't you know [emoji23]He'll be bravely fighting to change the Hearts culture of serial fouling and cheating. Have they shot up the fair play table now this guys on board?

Wonder if McGinn would be calling him out if he was still with us?
How would he fare, with our game against them coming up?
Cheap shot by him, not playing in Scotland and still fixating on the Yams!!!!

Or following one of his previous clubs.

The system is truly broken if players start highlighting match incidents via social media.

What would we be saying this morning if that tackle was on 1 of ours?
A shocking challenge is a shocking challenge, regardless of who the player is!
Also is McGinn not guilty of calling an other professional player a grass on social media????

Have you seen the challenge in question? Absolutely nothing in it.

As others have said, what does he think he’s doing tagging the SPFL?

:agree: And at a club where both his brothers currently play.

[GreenCastle]

The yam player who I’ve never heard of can get into trouble posting videos like that as the SFA have strict guidelines about social media use especially if he was stupid enough to tag them.

Mental eh.

I think SJM is brilliant and even more so for getting it up the Yams from afar now that he's not able to do it on the pitch.

The more folk winding up the hearts, the better, imho.


And the guy is a grass, clearly. Not even waiting for Sportscene to decide if there should be an issue here or not is low behaviour, but only to be expected from that lot.

Cheating hearts *******.

I haven’t seen a video and not that fussed tbh. The issue doesn’t appear to be about the tackle. Its the telling tales element. Anyway, you’ve presented a still photo which gives absolutely no context and could be interpreted to tell what ever story you want to spin.

[Crab apple]

To be fair if we went down that road McNulty could be pulled up for his kick out at McGowan.

Exactly. That's my point HC. If players start running to the authorities every time they have been fouled etc then the game is goosed. There's no reason for the Yam to be highlighting the tackle to the authorities in this way.

[GreenCastle]

What about Scott Browns tackle against us a few weeks ago?

Plus numberous assaults by hearts players like Naismith on Brown his season ?

Scottish refs are crap

I saw the footage, not a still image. It’s not for him to “grass” opponents. That’s the point here. As someone else pointed out, tweeting that might get him into bother anyway.

Would be a good laugh if he did get into trouble for it. Grassing Hearts dick.

[hibsbollah]

I don't really understand the story, but John McGinn is Super John McGinn, so he can call any ****er a grass whatever the circumstances and get my support. Grassing hearts dick.

Wishing injury on a player? Classy.

But the point is whether its fair game for the player to use social media, tag the authorities and have a mump about it. Grass covers it nicely.

Shocking career ending tackle imo.

If that had been on a Hibs player I would be raging.

Not convinced that copying in the SPFL was unjustified.

I wonder if our John is connected to the protagonist.

[Hermit Crab]

If something causes you pain and hurts you have you been injured? You said "Good", I hope it hurt.

[ScottB]

Don’t players now get booked for harassing the ref / waving fake cards etc?

If so, doing something similar after the game on social media seems pretty similar, no?

Players taking to social media to grass up a player for a bad tackle? Na not for me

[PatHead]

Must admit from your photo and the video it looks like the Hearts player is also being reckless and overly physical as well. In the old days, when football was a contact sport, you had lots of these challenges every game.

It is bad enough trial by television without players joining in.

[judas]

A player making no attempt to play the ball and subjecting a fellow professional to a tackle that could end his career and affect the livelihood of him and his family? Na not for me.

I bet you said "aye but Stokes should have had a hattrick" after the cup final too... :tee hee:

Bad tackles are part and parcel of the game. Let the authorities deal with it if they see fit

Did I?

How about answering the question?


I would rather not see our players dishing out bad tackles just for the sake of it, risking suspensions through yellow and red cards.

Perfect Krav Maga defensive kick as two Hearts thugs try to attack him.

Whatever happened to ‘what happens on the pitch,stays on the pitch’?

Football is getting to the point where multiple players are going to be getting banned after every game.

You're glasses need cleaned, its 2 St Mirren players in the challenge.
Watch the video, then look at the picture, simples!!!!

[Keith_M]

I think anybody taking SJM's comment seriously could be having a whoosh moment. I thought he was just winding the guy up.


If any Hearts player does want all dodgy incidents in their games to be re-assessed, I'm sure fans of other clubs would be delighted... but Potter not so much.



Coming from Hearts, this is a clear case of...

TBH it doesn't look good but you can't really tell from that video. The actual challenge is obscured but it looks as if the St M player has made contact with the ball. Whether before or after smacking into Dikimona it's really not possible to say from that angle. And yes, I'm aware It can still be a red card but it's not really a shocker if there's a genuine attempt to get the ball.

Couldn't agree more. Remember the cheering when Griffith's went off injured in the Wotherspoon derby. They can all get to ****.

[Libby Hibby]

Surely this thread is about the boy greeting on social media to spfl about the challenge and one of our Hero’s absolutely slautering him.

The discussion regarding our emotions of a player getting injured is for another thread?

[matty_f]

They took great delight in Paul Wright getting injured as well.

Never saw Wright or Griffiths grassing anyone for it.

Its no spin mate. I watched the game on ALBA last night and the more you saw the challenge the worse it got, late and high. It should have been a straight red.

[Here’s Lucy!]

Quite frankly, all this 'Twitter' and 'Tweeting' crap is just that.

A load of crap.

Pretty childish behavior from both parties too, I venture?

Okay, I may have exaggerated a wee bit. :greengrin It’s a robust challenge in a game between two physical teams. I still think he’s going for the ball, but in the seconds before the challenge, his team mate is blocking his view of the yam (who is also flying in at top speed). A “coming together” of committed players imo.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Hearts players going in with his studs up - was the St Mirren guy maybe just protecting himself/anticipating the challenge?

I don't understand how anyone that plays in the same team as Berra and Naismith would think that was unusual, let alone illegal.

Good point, I’m also no longer going to enjoy it when Hibs score a goal because I wouldn’t enjoy it if a goal was scored against Hibs.

Furthermore I hope we don't eventually get fourth place this season, because that would mean one or two of the teams currently above us moving down the league and getting less prize money, and I wouldn't like it if we got less prize money.
