Am I right in thinking that they’ll miss both the St Johnstone and Hun games?
Absolute ****** disaster if so.
What a rollercoaster ride this club we love takes us on.

Boyle at least will 'just' be St Johnstone i think
Looking for someone to confirm this. Losing Boyle in particular for the game against Rangers at Easter Road under the lights would be an absolute hammer blow
****ing idiots the pair of them.
Not trying to excuse Boyle, but the dissent rule seems a mess to me. Dissent is surely just that. Talking back of any form. That was surrendered generations back and we’re left in a situation where swearing at a ref is bookable or not depending on how bad the ref receives it as.
For what it’s worth, I’d like to see football be like rugby where there is a universally-understood line you don’t cross.
No. Didn’t know it was a straight red.
It gets daft when there is a question of what is acceptable, non-yellow, dissent and what deserves a yellow but not a red. That’s not the referees’ fault, it’s down to the game allowing players to behave in a way that other team sports wouldn’t tolerate in the first place.
**** was Doidge playing at?
Boyle I can see his frustration because the red was ****ing **** and every single ball in the box was a foul for them.
Scott Allan still won’t make the eleven
What I don’t get about Allan he was back in the team, got hooked at ibrox after the red card never been seen again. When he was actually providing goals and assist.
Another rossism
You do in youth football but somehow it’s then just up to refs in senior football and they the only send off if it’s detected at the ref personally. Boyle claims he was swearing at the refs performance not the ref himself. It’s one of the daftest excuses I’ve heard. His captain was already there ensuring the referee was clear in our club’s disappointment in his performance. There is nothing to gain from Boyle running in swearing his head off.
For me the most annoying thing is the referee was the official who told Heckingbottom to **** off when he was a fourth official causing Hecky to go public with it.
Seems it’s ok for him to tell someone to **** off but not the other way around.
100% agree. He had 1 bad 45 v Dundee utd (like most of his team mates) and that seems to be that. Doesnt get unlimited opportunities like others.
As for Boyle im more inclined to give him a bit of slack. Hes been our best player this season by a distance and had a daft moment at the end of the game. Its not as if hes at it every game and renowned for being ill-disciplined.

Interesting that. Talking about the refs performance on the way down the road and I mentioned it wasn’t just his decisions that were crap, his manner and the way he dealt with the players was as well. He was one of them who seemed to quite like shouting at them and generally seemed to piss everyone off.
If a rugby player had done what Boyle did, irrespective of whether he swore or not, but just simply for his "in your face" finger pointing criticism, he'd be looking at a minimum 6 weeks suspension rising to a year!
A player must not verbally abuse a Match Official. Verbal abuse includes, but is not limited to,abuse based on: religion, colour, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation.Low-end:6 weeks/matches to 12 weeks/matches; Mid-range:18+ weeks/matches; Max:52 weeks/matches.
Scottish football would run out of players within a week.
are there any twitter/youtube clips of what Boyle did, i totally missed it
Allan can’t be sharp when he hardly gets any minutes on the park. When he did get a wee run he was contributing.
Second half last night was crying out for someone who could do something a bit different. We were doing nothing in the final third and the game was drifting along until they scored. It was a reactive sub to chase the game rather than trying to make a proactive one to win the game. Campbell did a specific job at the weekend but I’ve not seen anything to suggest that he’s going to be the creative type (so he’ll probably fit in quite well with this team).
There could be a silver lining where no Boyle forces us into a total change of system which could catch St Johnstone off guard.
FWIW I thought we were fine last night, but Nisbet's finishing really let us down, and it seemed we were punished by the ref for every ball into the box.
C’mon you really can’t believe he’s getting 15 minutes here and there because Jack Ross is protecting him. He’s getting so little time because Ross prefers others over him, evidenced by the fact he tried to offload him in the summer window. It’s clear he wants a midfield of workers with no flair or cutting edge over someone who can cut the opposition open, but isn’t great defensively and may lose possession.
I’m really disappointed that Ross prefers Josh Campbell over Scott Allan, but as I said earlier I’ve come to accept his career at Hibs is effectively over.
thanks will have a look later
although not prolific Gavin Duncan does like that red card a little Gavin Duncan Football Referee (football-lineups.com)
I've seen very little from Scott Allan this season (perhaps understandably) to see how he should be starting games or getting significant game time.
It sounds very harsh and cruel considering what he's been through, but I don't think he's of the required standard any longer.
