If we got annoyed about things that almost cost us the win we would spend our lives annoyed! It’s fine, we won!

The head knock wasn't at the time of the 3rd goal and was when Motherwell were on the attack. He was clattered after he passed in the lead up to the 3rd goal but not convinced he was faking a head knock at that point.
Yeah I probably got mixed up it was when Motherwell were on attack and ref inexplicably played on after Porto had been elbowed in the head. Assuming another incident in lead up to our third goal was when Goss took him out after he played the ball to Josh Campbell.
Just sat through the highlights which was painful. Couple of things stuck out.
Porteous was even worse for the first goal than I thought at the time: 1) inexplicably scoops the ball back into Ginnelly when he could have just seen it out 2) needlessly fouls Ginnelly when he is facing away from goal on the touchline going nowhere 3) should do better heading ball away from free kick.
For the second goal surely it was a foul on Youan from Devlin in the build up? He just runs in and bundles him over nowhere near the ball?! Thought so at the time , even more convinced now.
But also Cadden was absolutely pathetic in allowing Shankland to score. Woeful defending.
Also Jack Ross's suit jacket is a shocker.
For me it just about is the norm, its been over 3 years since we've beaten the pricks. As for what do we do, who knows. I can only go off of gut feelings and that feeling is that while the Gordon's are in charge we won't get it right, depressing times indeed, actually makes me feel sick.
Agree on all points.
Also the farce where they claimed Shankland was unlucky to get booked. They failed to mention it was about his 5th foul, most of them on Rocky. He also elbowed Rocky in the face in the first 10 minutes which wasn't punished at all. Which I seem to recall he did in the first derby of the season aswell. He's due a dull one from somebody soon, the wee rat.
Aye very good point re Shankland 1st booking, he had about 4 fouls in the first half then 2 digs at Rocky in the one incident that led to his booking.
Berra and Ross clearly hadnt watched the whole game, or they are slavers. Hard to know which. I was swearing at the TV at that point at their shocking punditry.
On the Devlin "tackle" on Youan, Hibs bench was again going mad at Beaton on the touchline asking why it wasnt a foul. Dunno why Johnson doesnt reference that in his interviews. He should be saying its a clear foul - Neilson certainly would, he moans constantly and they seem to be getting the benefit of decisions on an almost weekly basis so its done him no harm.
I was raging at the foul which wasn’t given before the second goal. Not seen highlights but looked absolutely clear as day from the East stand.. cynical foul and a booking. Similarly Robertson never gave another one on edge of the box when one of them clattered through the back of Nisbet as he got to the ball first.
I wondered if they might argue the ‘foul’ was far enough back before the second goal that it wouldn’t be checked?
Made me realise how reckless and shoddy Porto was for their first goal
Shocking defending
Never let the ball bounce the golden rule
Berra still a smug Hearts so and so and every right to be so
Still do not think Hearts are a good side
I’m not bitter
This was the worst part of yesterday for me. Losing by 3 goals to a mediocre team.
They were so sloppy in possession. Poor ball retention. Yes some great blocks in and around the box. Yes, clinical as anything going forward. But they are really not a good team, and them waltzing to 3rd place and more cash sticks in the craw because they are not that great.
Well here is a video clip of it - even Hearts fans laughing at how it was a foul. Shocking refereeing from Robertson, but seriously what is the point of VAR if it doesnt pick that up?
