Noticed on the highlights of the Livvie game their top scorer Bruce Anderson went down injured with no one else near him?
Could be twisted himself on their turf, but had to go off and was replaced!
Maybe that will help change their minds about their pitch!!!!
John Beaton showing what a poor Ref he truly is giving a pen for an innocuous shove that no one else saw at Somerset Park
Welcome to our world
How does Simon Donnelly get a gig as a pundit?
The Killie red was a bit harsh, I don’t think the lad had any intent at all, but quite how McFadden manages to make it sound like cabraja is somehow the one to the blame is beyond me
whatever way you slice it, no player expects to get kicked in the head/neck when going for a header at head height

Sportscene managed to make our game look even some how

James McFadden, lol, another biased bbc tart !
I didn’t even think it was a yellow at the game. Seeing the footage, it probably was a red card. No idea how you could blame Cabraja though.
If you stick your boot in someone's face at head height with studs up don't be surprised if you get a red card.
Don’t watch Sportscene very often and now I know why. The lead presenter introduced our game with all the enthusiasm of a turkey at a Christmas dinner and it all went downhill after that. The ‘analysis’ consisted of an in depth look at the red card finishing with the insightful conclusion that it had a major impact on the outcome of the game (despite the fact that Hibs were 2 goals up with 22 minutes to play). There was no mention of how well Hibs had played and everything was downbeat. Desperately amateur show and an embarrassment. The analysis on Hibs.net is less biased.
Seeing it back I think the Killie boy is unlucky as he is definitely just trying to control the ball. That being said I can see why it was given as a red. I think the reactions from both players says a lot. Cabraja didn't really complain about the challenge and Vassell didn't really complain about the red card
It was a high boot and reckless, challenging for the ball or not. It’s lucky Cabraja wasn’t caught in the face. I think a yellow would have been sufficient but can also understand why it’s a red.
DM’s comments were bizarre.
So the ‘analysis’ involved both hun pundits mentioning we were ‘lucky’ or ‘luck went Hibs way’ and the sending off with 20 mins to go when we were 2-0 up, had a ‘massive impact’ on the game.
So there must be a rule that if the ball is head height a Hibs must stand back and not header it in case his opponent chooses to have his foot in the way.

Mental eh?
The responsibility is on the Killie player to understand that a ball that high would likely be contested by sometime trying to head out and therefore he shouldn't put his boot that high.
I said it wasn't even a booking at the time, but could understand why the ref gave the yellow, so wouldn't have complained too much about it had it been us.
When I watched it on Sportscene, I can see why the ref has given the red card but again if he'd decided it was a yellow , I don't think I would have complained either.
Basically I find myself being able to see why the referee could have decided to have given just the foul, the yellow card, or the red card based on how the wording of the rule can be interpreted.
