Dundee Utd v Hibs

[Squealing pig]

Get in

[Albahibs]

Was indeed. Lovely pass and even better finish.

:aok:

A moment of real quality that lit up the game.

[green day]

A wee word in for Junior Hoilett. He gets a bit of a slating from some folk on here, but I’ve always thought he had a wee bit class about him. I’m really chuffed for him tonight.

He's got loads of skill.

The kind of guy who, when he's playing 5s, nobody can get the ball off.

Slotted in at RB and made a good clearance too when Miller was stupidly off the pitch at the end.

[Pagan Hibernia]

Hibs been in this position lot of time at sharp end of season. Hearts would have fully expected a Hibs loss tonight and chance to leapfrog us Sunday. Now, they can’t really afford to lose on Sun if they want a chance at 3rd. Tonight was massive result for Hibs.

They had already budgeted for a hibs defeat last weekend too... its all getting very annoying for them :greengrin

Just watched that. Thought the same. Brilliant.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Didn’t see the second half but that’s an excellent result. Sunday is massive, a win has a very real chance of getting us into third. On current form if we get it then nobody is getting it back.

Sportsound have been gushing over Hibs tonight. So much for the institutional bias that was confirmed :greengrin

[hibsitis]

Listened in on the Radio, Sportsound pundits sound absolutely gutted.

What did they say?

[NAE NOOKIE]

I didn't know the score, so when I logged on at about 10pm and saw this thread had run to 25 pages I feared the worst :greengrin

From what I've read we clearly didn't play well, so to win 1 - 3 is an incredible result. With a 3 game schedule of Celtic home, Dundee Utd away and Hearts anywhere I would have taken 6 points out of 9 in a heartbeat ... to have the 6 points already scoring 5 goals in the process is brilliant.

Given Hearts recent form the derby is probably 50/50 .... we just have to bring everything we've got on Sunday, but whatever happens we are still in the fight .... well done tonight Hibs, 14 games unbeaten is unbelievable all things considered :thumbsup:

[James70]

I no longer get live score updates after the number of games we lost in the closing minutes earlier in the season. Instead I wait until I know the match is definitely finished before logging on to see the score. We haven't lost a game so far since I adopted this tactic.

I didn’t think we played badly. First half we were good and the better team, their goal being a massive deflection. Second half we rode our luck and scored the best goal of the game by far. A good away win.

[J-C]

Been busy all night and just watched the highlights. Poor header from Rocky at their goal but it did take a big deflection, their overturned goal looked perfectly good to me and I've seen it a good few times now and still can't see a hand ball but we've had loads of dodgy decisions against us so it's good to get some for us for a change. Bowies goal was a beauty and Hoilett was a nice one to finish off. Goodwin was raging but who cares, it's good to see that smarmy git angry, he's not a man can take to, overall a good win and 3 pts even when not at our best.

[B.H.F.C]

Just back, absolutely ****ing delighted with that result.

Just watched the replays of the disallowed goal on Sportscene and I don’t think you’d be happy with that against you.

Bowie’s goal was outstanding.

Players are running through a brick wall for us game in, game out at the moment. Think we’ve had a wee bit luck but they’re earning that luck. We’ve also had two goals ruled out for offside in the last two games that have been shocking on field decisions.

Let’s do the business on Sunday now. However we win I don’t really care, just find a way.

Was it definitely hand ball it was given for? If anything their scorer was climbing all over the defender but it was never hand ball.

The Sportscene guys were all talking about it being a hand ball, I couldn't see one, I think for a change we got a lucky break there.

Remember you cannot score with your arm. Nothing else matters, if it goes in off his arm, it cannot count. It's not subjective. If var saw it hit his arm then it's totally correct not to count.

That was Rocky’s poorest performance for a while. A few shaky moments throughout the game and he was lucky to get away with them. Hopefully out of his system for Sunday.

It was that genius of physics Richard Foster that made me laugh 😆 “you can tell the way the ball spins it comes off the Hibs player” 🫤 before rightly being corrected by Stewart saying there’s absolutely no definitive way you can tell and it’s a call that goes either way most weeks in football.

Corner or goalkick makes no odds, United defended the next phase poorly and we scored a cracker, don't moan at the officials instead have a go at your team for not doing the basics right.

[steve75]

I think there's a good chance it hits Dalby's hand, which is on Triantis' shoulder. But VAR can only say this if the have better quality video that anything I've seen. So they probably shouldn't be getting involved.

Forgetting the handball though, Dalby is probably fouling Triantis anyway. He's not just resting the hand on him, he used him for leverage.

And it was a goal kick, Strain kicks through the ball, clearly.

Handbaw

[gbhibby]

It seems that we are getting some luck with VAR or is it VAR doing its job right? Have seen quite a number of what people and officials think are headers but have come off shoulders or arms. Is the rule that if the ball is deemed to have hit the arm below the the shirt line or hand and a goal results is is disallowed. Maybe Michael Stewart should have looked at it an 85th time instead of 84th.

[Donegal Hibby]

After the 1-1 game at ER at least now they know how it feels …

A handball offence is not committed when a player: heads, kicks or plays the ball with another part of their body and it then hits their own hand/arm (unless the ball goes directly into the opponents' goal or the player scores immediately afterwards)

[Donegal Hibby]

I’m no fan of VAR but one thing I don’t understand is why shouldn’t VAR get involved in the Dalby handball goal , is that not what it’s there to do ? ….

https://www.bbc.com/sport/videos/c4gee8vx53po


Dermot Gallagher has said it’s unfortunate on the Utd player but that’s the rule on handball . As to the corner Goodwin is whining about he also says that in most situations like that one where the referee is unsure he will take the safe option in awarding a goal kick too.

Michael Stewart is getting worse, he just makes it up as he goes along at this point. Stating that VAR shouldn't get involved is moronic, it's exactly what it's there for.

Because the pair of them are roasters. Foster always has been and Stewart - mostly when he's on the BBC - is making things up.

They reviewed the footage extensively and don't even attempt to understand the rules, reasoning or that there might be something they're missing.

It's why Sportscene and Sportsound are nauseating to me these days, they're platforms for people to go and force their opinions down the throats of the public.

I honestly don’t think he’d have the same opinion if it had been hertz , saying VAR shouldn’t get involved just shows him up to be the clown he is . Personally I can’t stick him and think he’s a gob*****.

Well done VAR to be fair, I have seen the replay a few times and never saw it but zoomed in like that shows it was the correct decision. I can see why it took them ages.

Not for me. All the results were decided by the players.

At Easter Road, with Hibs 1-0 up Kuharevych decided to hold onto a DU players shirt for a prolonged time in our box despite being on a yellow. Penalty. Cost us 2 points.

At Tannadice, Newell already on a yellow miscontrolled the ball and in trying to retrieve it endangered his opponent by striking him just below the knee with the bottom of his boot. At least a yellow. Hibs down to 10 and in panic mode gave away 2 goals including the last where Bursic completely lost his head. Newell and Bursic cost us 3 points.

At Tannadice last night the ball hit Dalby on his arm so no goal. As for our second goal, Dundee Utd had possession of the ball and Gallagher gave it away to a Hibs player and Hibs scored. The talk of a corner for DU was a previous and separate sequence of play so not relevant given DU had possession of the ball subsequently but turned it over. Gallagher probably cost them a point.

Hibs were the better team in the two fixtures against DU earlier in the season but the adverse results were down to our players poor decisions as described.
A combination of indiscipline and panic, both of which have been addressed. Blaming referees, linesmen, VAR, SFA, SPL etc is often just a smokescreen for managers and a comfort blanket for supporters. It's no coincidence that the best team in the league is at the top and the 6 best teams in the league are now 1-6. It has eventually come out in the wash. The better we play and the better the decisions our players make the luckier we seem to get.

Best footage so far. Came off the DU player arm = no goal. Should have been booked for hand ball :greengrin

It was a great spot by VAR.

[He's here!]

Even with the naked eye you could see there was something odd about the trajectory of the ball and when you then see the replay it clearly gets headed down into his arm and rolls off it into the goal. Foul no question. The player looked a bit put out but not overly so which was quite telling.

It was a very soft pen at ER, listed as a VAR error. The real issue is that Hibs had a stronger pen claim dismissed minutes later. No doubt about refereeing errors in that game.

Noticed that as well. The truth of most situations can be found in the player's reaction, and the DU player looked as if he knew something wasn't quite right.

Now the SFA have apparently told Dundee United the goal shouldn’t have been disallowed, according to Scott Burns and the DR…

What the **** is going on.

Potentially because the only footage that’s shown it was definitely a handball wasn’t actually available to VAR? Only reason I can’t think of.

So now VAR is wrong, despite photographic evidence showing the decision to be correct?

I ****ing give up.

Yes that the pictures were of poor quality. Remember they couldn’t use offside lines. Bottom line is that the decision was 100% correct

That’s presumably the reason and technically they’re probably correct. If VAR and the images available to it can’t be certain it hit his hand, which imo is the case, then it absolutely shouldn’t be ruled out imo.

That being said though, ultimately the correct decision appears to have been reached, so anyone that’s fizzing about it at Dundee United is really just deflecting the blame for their defeat.

It was a very soft pen at ER, listed as a VAR error. The real issue is that Hibs had a stronger pen claim dismissed minutes later. No doubt about refereeing errors in that game.

The difference between the two incidents was the length of time the shirt was held for. VAR wasn't giving penalties were the hold was brief as in the O'Hora example. Kuharevych had hold of the guys shirt from the 18 yd line to a yard before the penalty spot which was why it was given. It was obviously soft given the ball went nowhere near the DU player but it was a bad decision by Myko.

I didn't think either was a penalty. With VAR you have to go with the rough and the smooth. We have seen the smooth for Hibs in the last two games and Rodgers and Goodwin have made fools of themselves instead of accepting the decisions.

Noticed that as well. The truth of most situations can be found in the player's reaction, and the DU player looked as if he knew something wasn't quite right.

I thought this also. Dalby did not react to the decision. If he believed he was in the right he would have been going mental. I think he knew it struck his arm and as the rules state that if a ball strikes an arm before a goal, whether intentional or not it’s not a goal.

It was a handball. Or did you mean Hoilett’s goal?

I've just seen the clip from X that was posted on here, I would like to change my view please, yes it was handball.:greengrin

What a spot from VAR by the way! My post was based on the TV pics shown on the highlights and no way could you say that wasn't a goal based on that. Maybe Sportscene needs to make an apology as well!

Hoilett’s goal was good.....my argument was more how if the DU goal had scored they may very well have taken the 3 points (ifs and buts I know). Actually more than happy to be wrong on this one, well done VAR.

Very clear in this footage

Suggest Matty Fairnie in his next Fan's Voice column on the BBC Scottish Sport website points that the above confirms that Dalby's header does come of his arm before entering the net. There is also further video footage referred to on here https://x.com/Barlosthecat/status/1895392645192843488?t=ZWK5QuG1a2OZCmNJmcJHqg&s=19 that confirms the Moriah Welsh incident that Goodwin said should have been a clear corner was indeed a clear goal kick!

Given the BBC's publicity of Goodwin's propaganda, it would be good to respond on the BBC's website.

P.S. Maybe Matty should also pass the links on to "Honest Jim" to give him the opportunity to set the record straight :rolleyes:

It is also clearly offside. Marginal but clear. Either way, justice was done on Wednesday night.

I don't think that 450p quality video shows one way or the other whether it should have been a corner.
As well as being heavily pixalated footage the camera angle isn't helpful.
Supporters largely see what they want to see.

Bottom line is we won. If we can at least draw on Sunday and beat Kilmarnock at Rugby Park we will be looking good.

[Tambo]

Just seen the goals now as internet is installed in the new place, couldn't comment on the full game as i didn't see it but another outstanding result for SDG and his team, the players and the fans.

[Fifeshirehibs]

Hibs should try for Dalby.... 1. He is good player , 2 he appears an honest guy and would state aye it wasn't a goal. Jim G why haven't you paraded him saying it didn't hit my arm !!!!!

[BS44]

That disallowed goal made all the difference. Instead of whacking them 3-1 we'd only have whacked them 3-2.
