Could have put a bit more oomph into it and a bit higher !

**miniboco** · 28-10-2009 08:35 PM

i think earlier in the game driver asked him his opinion on whether he should say yes if burley asked him to switch alliance to scotland and that was big mcmanus's answer!

**Edinburgh Green** · 28-10-2009 08:37 PM

not high enough!

***blackpoolhibs*** · 28-10-2009 08:37 PM

Should have done it a lot harder, but i have to say i nearly burst when he did it.

**erskine-hibby** · 28-10-2009 08:37 PM

Thought it was a cynical challenge and he should get the book thrown at him IMHO.

**Makaveli** · 28-10-2009 08:38 PM

Great challenge IMO. Would have been all the better if the linesman hadn't convinced the ref it was worthy of a red

It was a shocker - he deserves the red card and (I think) 3 match ban.

Having said that I hope Driver's still feeling it.

**7Hero** · 28-10-2009 08:40 PM

disgraceful tackle, hate seeing the oldfirm behave like they are the be all and end all, that tackle smacked of that. Regardless of it being against the **** of tynie it deserved a red.

mock driver all you like, hearts played well tonight and are gonna be hard to break down in the derby, not as confident as i was after watching that.

**NOLA** · 28-10-2009 08:41 PM

reminded me of myself playing schools football, licence to kick

so celtic can get away with terrible fouls at home ?? you obviously havent watched enough celtic home games have you ??

, about time they were taken to task on it, regardless of it being hearts or not, never a great challenge...

I'll go with that, typical thuggery. The look McManus gave him bordered on evil.

Couldn't handle the fact that they were about to get pumped out and took him out.

How the **** did the ref think that was a yellow FFS!

I'm no driver fan but he was going no where near the ball. Hope he gets a 3 game ban. Who they got coming up in the league?

**woody47** · 28-10-2009 08:43 PM

Ridiculous tackle. Never had any intention of going for the ball and what made it worse was that clown Thomson thought it only merited a yellow and it was only after the linesman intervened that he got the red.

**HIBERNIAN-0762** · 28-10-2009 08:44 PM

Missed his neck by a mile!

Agree they looked fairly solid tonight but not one of celtic's forward players would get any where near the hibs line up at the moment, including McCourt. also I believe we have far better players in the centre of midfield with miller and Mcbride compared to N'guemo (who looks piss) and crosas.

Simply put we played celtic at the wrong time (Zemmama and benji observing ramadan, stokes still getting up to speed and miller not signed) and if we played them now I would be confident of winning.

**James Connolly** · 28-10-2009 08:48 PM

No need for the challenge; Driver would've made a horses arse of it anyway.

Can't believe the ref originally thought it only worthy of a yellow card!

**~~Dunbar Hibee~~** · 28-10-2009 08:48 PM

complete dive

**erskine-hibby** · 28-10-2009 08:51 PM

Can't wait for jack reagan to come on and defend him...
"We are being picked on...we have the best fans in the world...there are no bigots or thugs at celic"
Nah! just the ones on the pitch eh??

No. But if you want your user name changed just PM an admin.

It's 'orrible

**down-the-slope** · 28-10-2009 09:11 PM

What about the ref..how could any ref ever consider that was a yellow card..the ball had long gone and was as cynical as I have ever seen.

Thank goodness for the linesman for not letting it go..shocking regardless of who it was against. No team or player should ever be above the laws of the game

**~~PC Stamp~~** · 28-10-2009 09:14 PM

Dirty, cynical, pre meditated attempt to hit the player with no attempt to even make it look like he wanted the ball. Rarely do you see a ref have the bottle to produce a red for that. They should though, every time. Cloggers like McManus have no place in football.

That said, Thomson WOULD have bottled it without a little help from his assistant!

**sambajustice** · 28-10-2009 09:15 PM

Whats wrong with it?

I've done many of similar ones on a sunday morning and only been booked at most!

"Just a little late ref, sorry! Wont happen again!"

**rightwinger** · 28-10-2009 09:16 PM

I thought it was a booking initially but it certainly should have been a sending off.

No intention to play the ball, miles late and reckless. Credit to the linesman for making sure the ref got it right.

McManus has always been that type of player, although I must admit his recent performances have been much poorer than I remembered. Celtic really are struggling at the back.

I admit that I was never euphoric about Brown and Thomson and Whittaker etc when they were with us. They were decent players but by no means off the wall brilliant as a lot of Hibs fans seemed to think. The OF are now in big trouble and they're relying on a bunch of ex Hibs players to get them out of jail domestically and beyond. I saw these guys get the runaround enough times from Falkirk when playing for us to know that's not going to happen.

**Sir David Gray** · 28-10-2009 09:28 PM

Maybe I'm totally wrong here but I wasn't aware that a referee could change his mind by first of all giving a yellow card and then changing his mind and giving a red card instead.

Don't get me wrong, the linesman was correct to advise the referee that McManus should be sent off for that tackle but Thomson immediately gave him a booking and then the linesman called him over to tell him that it was worthy of a red card.

Anyone know the ruling on this type of thing?

but he did have the guts to speak to the linesman and take his advice and produce the red so well done thomson

Provided that play hasn't re-started the ref is perfectly entitled to review his decision in his own mind or with some help from his assistants and duly amend it.
