So a guy that’s been out for months with an injury is going to risk another one to get an opponent sent off rather than jump over the tackle? Most players returning from a long lay off avoid heavy challenges not deliberately get caught by them.

It was a split second decision and if Kevin is a whole hearted player he doesn't think of previous injuries. I can see exactly why he was sent of but also I can see that Nisbet could've avoided the challenge, maybe his brain didn't act quick enough. It was still a red even though Holt won the ball cleanly but his follow through was high and dangerous with studs showing. I can see both points of view in this challenge.
Fair point in that he knew Nisbet was on his way to challenge for the ball, still think he just went into win the ball and didnt neccessarily mean to catch him there. Red card either way for me though.
Its amazing how many huns and Jambos on twitter think it wasnt a yellow card but when porto won the ball v Aribo similarly but didnt even touch Aribo they thought it was a jail sentence....
Holt seen it as an opportunity to do Nisbet red card especially nowadays.
No idea what Stewart was on about trying to put some of the blame on Nisbet.
Used to like Stewart as a pundit but he has changed a bit since Dr Football left Hertz.
No mention of Shankland diving
Stewart is rapidly becoming a slavering attention seeking clown in the Andy Walker style for me. He’s also dealer to join the Hearts love in at every opportunity.
That was a red - Holt wins the ball yes, but takes the opportunity to carry on through with force and deliberately targets Nisbet’s foot.
People don't like MS because he's honest and he doesn't care if his opinion upsets anyone.
A couple of months ago, Hibs were having a purple patch & he was saying he still wasn't convinced by Hibs - he was bang on - we went on a horrendous run.
His view if the red card isn't anti-Hibs - just the way he sees it & no different to some of our own support.
Some folk need to get off the paranoia tablets and accept there are different views to their own that may be valid and aren't down to an anti-Hibs, pro-Hearts conspiracy.
That's your opinion. Mine is he's been less honest in his punditry after going through an unspoken ban from the BBC when he said "bad things" about a certain Glasgow club. Since his return he's been more "Sportscene" and less Mickey Stewart.

Perhaps - you may have a point. However, from a Hibs perspective, people on this thread were apoplectic that he wasn't giving Hibs enough credit for the 4 game winning run.
He was cautious about our capability to compete for 3rd or better. He was calling it as he seen it & he was correct.
He wasn't really, he was coming out with guff about us not having an identity, WTF does that mean? MS has 1 major flaw, he never, ever accepts he may be wrong. He just goes on and on until his fellow pundits move on as he's never going to change his mind. At the end of the day we lost 6 games out of 7 and we're still only 2 points out of 3rd place. If only we had an identity.
Thomson has admitted he doesn’t even like fitba and looks as though he disnae want to be there apart from bigging up his beloved St Mirren
Foster dresses like a pop star doesn’t offer anything insightful and would rather be at an Amy MacDonald gig
Mickey Stewart has had his baws parted, gagged and has to tow the establishment line so is now showing his true colours by supporting Hearts
I only watch it to see what they are saying about the Hibs
I do the same with MOTD as well tbf - maybe its an age thing, but the overanalysis and dissection of everything on that programme really gets on my thruppeny bits.
I muted all the HT crap in the World Cup as well.
In fact, on reflection, maybe I am just a grumpy so and so :greengrin:greengrin
