Just seen the Scott Brown incident. There was no reason for the Macedonia player to still be on the ground after so long and only lay there cause he knew it was close to half time and would waste more time.

It was a drop ball which SHOULD be contested. Nowt in the rules to suggest we have to give them the ball. Well done Scott Brown.

If the idea was for Scotland to give possession back to Macedonia then the ref shouldn't gone with the drop ball decision. As you rightly say it's there to be contested. Just a shame McFadden got booked as a result of it.

I thought it was shocking sportsmanship and should have been stopped there and then. The boy went down with a head knock...something that can't be gambled with. Replays show it was a sore one.

They knocked the ball out the first opportunity they had and in my opinion it was nothing to do with timewasting. It was the first half and they were more than competing!!

I love Brown and what he's all about but that was the side of him i don't like. If he was playing for Celtic and the the boy on the deck was Hogg we'd be wanting blood.

The Macedonians were quite right to be livid...and I'm surprised nobody stuck one on him.

Maybe shocking sportsmanship but what he did was not against the rules and to be fair he was indicating he was going for the drop ball which the opposition player should have done also.

Its his own fault for time wasting IMO.

The ball hit him in the head, so what?

That happens all the time in football, but most players dont feel the need to stay down on the deck for 5 minutes.

I think if he got right back up instead of time wasting, Scotland would have given them the ball back.

I've just watched it again on sky +. TBH, if the same thing had happened with them 1--0 down in the last few minutes, I honestly don't think he would have stayed down that long.

The ref stopped the game with a drop ball. A drop ball should, IMO, be contested. I say that at every Hibs game I go to when this happens, contest the drop ball.

In todays modern game though, generally that is not the norm, which is unfortunate and cheats are allowed to prosper.

Why on earth would they be time-wasting?? It was in the first half and they were probably the better team up until then. They had to win the game as well remember.

The foot was inches away from the ball when it hit his head and he was genuinely down with a head-knock...he wasn't acting in any way and the game should have been stopped. To imply otherwise is ridiculous.

The only things I can say in Browns defence is that his intentions were lost in translation when it came to the drop ball...but he should have known better because chances are he saw the incident...and he should have just given them the ball back.

However, the referee has to take a portion of the blame here. He saw what happened and should have stopped the game. He'll look back at that and realise his mistake.

Probably not but who knows? He definately wasn't acting and it was a good whack he got. If they were 1-0 up with a few minutes to go then I would understand but why would they timewaste at that stage of the game?

I agree with that but Brown and the rest of the team were perfectly aware of what happened to the guy and must have realised this wasn't an act of gamesmanship on their behalf. They're not blind.
The captain should have come up to Brown and insisted the ball be given back to them. The only thing the other team were interested in since the incident was getting the ball out the park.

It's rank bad sportsmanship and leaves a slightly sour taste. I thought we were better than that.

There's nothing he can do about that...stupid rules.

In the refs defence Faddy raised his hands slightly but in no way should he have been booked.

He'll be a big miss.

We'll have to agree to disagree with this one Peter, as I honestly believe with half time approaching the Macedonia player stayed down long enough to get to half time expecting the ball to be kicked out.

My honest opinion is that Scotty Brown done nowt wrong. Similar to Matty Jack in 2000 for Hibs against Dundee United. Am I too biased?

If they rescinded McFadden's for mistaken identity, they'd have to. Otherwise it would be extremely unfair on the Macedonians, who have lost a player for Wednesday as well.

Probably...but it's not a bad thing

If Brown was playing for hibs and it was a hearts player that was down then I'd be in the "Brown was right" camp.

I stand by my assessment of the incident but on reflection it doesn't change the outcome...We won and they lost...which is the most important thing

Did you actually watch the game? Their goal keeper was time wasting from the 10th minute each time one of their players went down they rolled about for 5 minutes
So fe ck them. Got what they deserved.
Go on yourself broonaldo. Get it right up them

Too true.

[faffkid]

Macedonia were a dirty buch of cheating diving b*****ds and I'm glad Brown did what he did. Got a big cheer in the pub and quite right too!

It changed the game and got them fired up in the second half. It was ace!

I listened to it...and I disagree that they were timewasting.

They had to win the game as well...and they were in control in the first half!

Why would you come to a place you have to win and timewaste?

Sometimes teams waste time till the last 10 minutes of the game... then try to grab a late goal.

It can be an effective tactic, especially if you're the under dogs.

I know they were better than us in the first half... but thats down to us being gash, not them playing well.
