To those of you who "enjoyed" Riordan's lunge at Skacel

[The Voice Of Reason]

You need to take a long hard look at yourselves. Riordan tried to break the guys leg FFS - it was ridiculous and pathetic. It is a pity that the "Shameful" thread was closed earlier (why admins?)

The game was lost and he gets needlessly sent off - giving the Hearts fans even more to p*ss themselves laughing about. Then, the actions that followed as a direct result of his sending off (coin throwing etc) will lead to the club being fined no doubt.

And the final icing on the cake is that we are now without our best player for a couple of games (presumably) and he is the only one that ever looks remotely likely to score.

Here's what the match report from the official site says about Riordan's tackle :-

In the final moments a bitterly disappointing afternoon was made worse when Riordan received a straight red card for a terrible lunge on Skacel.

We must have the thickest fans in the world if they enjoyed Riordan's moment of madness.

he can wave bye bye to any chance of being in the Scotland Squad. He had a real opportunity to push for a slot in the friendly later this month, but he has well and truly *****ed that up!

Awful tackle and exactly the type of thing that proves he should not be captain. The fact that Calderwood hasnt said anything to him and looked away from him as he came off the park says what he thinks of it. I wouldnt be surprised if Deeks does leave us soon. He is fed up with the club and that tackle shows his frustrations

It was lunacy at best.....Not fit to be captain......

[ReillyF5]

Just a few of us getting carried away with frustration.

I've seen worse tackles...but Riordan shows his irresponsibilty again.

How many chances for this lad?

CC looked dissapointed in him.

[Bishop Hibee]

Total stupidity from Riordan regarding the sending off.

As someone who was desperate for him to stay after his contract runs out, a combination of his madness today and the fact that I heard from a reliable mate that he's looking for a final payday from the Championship when his contract runs out, all I can hope is that he screws the nut and helps us stay up before he clears off.

[Sir David Gray]

I am usually one of Riordan's biggest fans but I won't defend what he did today. I have only seen his tackle once, at the game, and haven't seen it again on TV but I don't believe I need to see it again. I thought it was a bad tackle at the time, one worthy of a red card, and I don't think my opinion will change by seeing it on TV.

What he did was stupid, unnecessary and extremely reckless.

He let the rest of his teammates down today with those actions and I expected a lot better from our captain.

Riordan's actions were that of a fan as I'm quite sure that a lot of our fans would have liked to put in that kind of tackle on Skacel today but our players have to be professional and in the case of those players who happen to be fans, such as Riordan, they have can't allow their heart to rule their head.

At least one person has shown some commitment... he was the only one.
That game was ****ing pathetic from anyone giving us some commitment.

Was it really commitment though.... It was needless and he now gets automatic ban for Wednesday......It was sheer stupidity IMO

One of the most annoying things for me is that the Hearts fans were/still are p*ssing themselves laughing at him, us and our club because of the tackle.

Also, him being ruled out of forthcoming game lessens our chances of scoring from almost zero to zero!

Some clowns (Hibsbollah and HarpandCastle) on the "Shameful" thread which was closed earlier were saying they enjoyed the tackle and wished Skacel's career had ended etc etc.

I agree with your sentiments mate, however Riordans actions were not "commitment" they were just plain daft and childish IMHO.

You a school teacher or something?

Dinnae invite me to any of your parties.

If you pissed off with any fellow .netters, rather than start a whole new thread on how outraged you are, may I suggest you either inform an admin of your "horror" or PM Harpand castle and Hibsbollah and tell them you'll not get much sleep.

Pretty predictable response from you......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I'll drop you a PM (once I find out how to do that) the next time I want to post something......just to check that it meets with your approval.

P.S Do you fancy coming to a party ?

To be honest, I couldn't really care less about Rudi Skacel (although I would stop short of saying that I wish his career had been ended), my only concern is with Hibs and if it was actually possible for the team to get any worse than it already was, that will now happen thanks to Riordan's indiscipline.

We hardly have any strikers as it is, that position will now be made even worse over the next couple of games as our top scorer sits in the stand serving out his suspension.

[ScottB]

Given his previous Skacel it was a moment of sheer stupidity, and as Captain, we should expect more from him really.

We have 1 fit striker and he's got himself pointlessly banned for at least one game. Idiot.

I can only imagine the people applauding that tackle were the same pr1cks throwing coins.

Nah - it was just embarrassing.

Theres a world of difference between commitment (which is what fans have), and being professional (which is what we are supposed from the team to get in return for our commitment).

[SouthamptonHibs]

just arrived back fi the game....sung my heart out today..... before, during and after the game...... we were awful today... i hear what your saying about the challenge but to be fair it was the best moment in the game from our point of view.. skacel is a wee ****, least deek cares....but ur right it now leaves us in a bad position as we have several games coming up that deeks can't play in.....it's gonna be a long season lads rebuilding time... ps how good is the stadium fantstic place to watch football

[Toaods]

do-gooders do my nut in.

Riordan isn't capable of ending anyones career in a tackle.

A daft lunge with mild intent - yeah. Silly..absolutely.

An immediate ban won't make a jot of difference at Ibrox in midweek as the chances of us scoring there are less than remote at best.

Skacel is an irritating git....full stop.

He inflamed the situation as much as anyone and should be fined/banned for his actions (not the first time we've encountered such actions from him)

I don't recall seeing Skacel getting a stretcher ride off the park and retiring from the game, if we are going to have a thread about career ending challenges let's continue from this point onward with Neil Berry's challenge on Paul Wright at Easter Road.

We had a better chance of scoring on Wednesday with DR in the team.........

He lost the plot today and not the way a captain should behave.......That said he is never captain material anyway

Forget Ibrox, we'll get humped there.

There's not a captain in that bunch but someone had to step forward for the toss/pictures, so aswell making it Riordan.

A bit ott bud. I watched it at the match and have watched it a few times on the tv. The tackle was high, he hit him on the side of the knee, but the way it's been portrayed here, it's like a career finishing tackle. It was a stupid lunge and he should have known better. Skacel on the other hand got up after rolling round for a few seconds and ran round to the Hearts supporters with a big GIRUY Hibees. He won't miss the next match for them.

Do-gooders? WTF??

Fans being p!ssed off with our captain losing the plot, commiting a challenge that was only ever going to end with a red card that gets him banned for the next game is being a do-gooder?

I dont give a flying one about Skacel - it was the stupidity of the act that did my head.

We may well get humped, but I would rather play with our better players and at least give ourselves a chance of gaining something out of match...... Inverness managed a point there last weekend.

I assume the original thread was closed because of an embarassing amount of sanctimonious self-righteous nonsense. Don't make moral judgements on people based on football.
