That is exactly how I saw it. Jason Holt will be looking at that and wondering how he gets a red and Gordon's challenge isn't even a foul

What diving ******* Shankland is 😡 I'm sure he'll be at it against us,prick 💩
Didn't think Holt was a red card live and having seen the TV footage it's still a yellow in my view for being reckless rather than dangerous.
Although Stewart thinks that nothing should have been given as Holt didn't see Nisbet and Nisbet should've jumped!
The penalty against Newell was never a penalty. VAR really hasn't done us any favours. No second look at the potential stamp on Campbell either
To be fair, the Hibs player in the vicinity was Porto. We all know he’s prone to acting to influence refs. And if he was an opposition player I would have found his reaction annoying as ****. I love him when he’s doing the business for us but that’s the truth. I’d never use any players reaction to guide me as to what’s just taken place, far less Porto’s :greengrin .
Foster and Michael Stewart were both at it, saying Holt didn't deserve a red and blamed Nisbet for not jumping over the tackle. There was a clear intentional upward movement of Holt's foot, deliberately trying to leave one on Nisbet. Red fully deserved.
I really don't think Holt's was a red. He won the ball cleanly and if Nisbet hadn't come in from his blind side it would have been ok. For commentators to suggest Nisbet could have avoided it however is ludicrous. I would have been extremely upset for a Hibs player to be red carded for that. Having said that Jason Holt is a nasty and cowardly prick who has lived on the edge for ever so there's a certain amount of karma here.
The reaction of the Hibs players and opposition players especially Porto who was closer than the so called experts to the incident told me it was a red
Saying that Jason Holt hopefully hung around furtively hoping VAR would reduce it to a yellow but the replay showed everything there was to see to the experts that really matter in the VAR Control Room
Straight red he lifts his foot and follows through
Hearts bassa :greengrin
Hearts penalty in the last minute wtaf never in a million years and on radio Weirdo Neilson is giving it how hard done to they are. They get way more decisions than anyone non Old firm.
Shocking decision. OK there was a bit of contact but he clearly just dives to the ground!
As for Gordon..he is literally dive bombing into the challenge. Shocking injury but it was a shocker of an attempt to get to the ball first. So what if he does when he’s doing so in such a reckless and dangerous manner.
I was screaming for a red at the time, but seeing it back don't think it's a red and if they appeal it they'll win the appeal.
On the third angle you can quite clearly see Holt glancing at Nisbet as he slides in. That's why he raised his right foot after winning the ball.
Unfortunately the ref was right in front of the tackle and saw the intent before the contact.
That was never a pen for hearts.Why didnt var get involved?
How many penalties have they had?
Portos reaction was due to seeing Nisbet clearly in pain. Where he catches Nisbet with studs showing warrants a red card in my book. Dangerous tackle with the follow through. Ref correct in my mind. Problem of course is the inconsistency and unfortunate as Gordon he was lucky not to see red too. All about opinions but only one counts and that's the ref. (and var if you want to be pedantic)
