Sone Aluko

After losing a diving prick to serious injury, its nice to see that the Huns have found a replacement.

Saw the incident on goals on Sunday.
Blatant dive

**joebakerforever** · 04-12-2011 01:02 PM

Given that the SFA Compliance Officer was quickly on the case of GO'Cs alleged simulation in the St Johnstone match, surely Aluko should be cited by the SFA on Monday morning

***Pedantic_Hibee*** · 04-12-2011 01:05 PM

Can the general public bring this to SFA attention or will they investigate it off their own accord? In the interests of fairness for all of course.

***millarco*** · 04-12-2011 01:10 PM

The SFA are 'likely' to investigate it: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16023596.stm

He might be suspended for next week.

It's interesting - as we discussed after the O'Connor incident versus St Johnstone - it's a yellow card offence if the referee makes the decision during the game, but a potential 2 match ban if dealt with by the Compliance Officer. Doesn't seem right to me.

That is a clear dive with zero contact. Two match ban coming his way.

p.s the O'Connor one Hibs TV picked up contact with the St Johnstone player.

Who's the ref? Could he have had a better view than that? Cheats.

Utter fudbaw!

**FastEddieFelson** · 04-12-2011 09:51 PM

the huns had one foul given against them too, in the 80th minute. that must be some sort of record in top flight football?

**Sir David Gray** · 04-12-2011 10:15 PM

I said this when O'Connor was being investigated and faced a ban, and I'll say it again.

There's no question that Sone Aluko dived yesterday, it was even clearer than O'Connor's in my opinion, but if it had been spotted by the referee, he would have received a yellow card and that would have been case closed.

It's not right that he faces a different punishment, just because the referee didn't see it at the time.

It's time for diving to be a sending off offence.

Think the ban will be more because he won the penalty that basically won the game for Rangers, had he been booked it would have been 1-0 and chances are Dunfermline may have got a point, as it is he dived and won Rangers 3 points which is why he should receive a ban for his actions..

***blackpoolhibs*** · 04-12-2011 10:56 PM

Thats a dive, i have watched it 3 times now, there is no contact. I expect him to be cleared.

So what happens if a player dives, wins his side a penalty but the penalty is missed?

Presumably the player would still be cited and punished?

**Geo_1875** · 05-12-2011 09:50 AM

Mentioned on Radio Scotland this morning, followed by "What about Garry O'Connor, he got off with it?". Utter bawbags and a crap system.

***easty*** · 05-12-2011 01:46 PM

Just watched it for the first time the now, that's unreal. That referee is a disgrace, you can't even really say that Aluko has conned the ref into giving the pen as the ref could clearly see there was no contact.

Aluko is a cheat, but the % of players in modern football who'd do the same is pretty high.

The referee is an absolute disgrace, he should be taking outside and shot in front of his family...

**hibiedude** · 05-12-2011 03:34 PM

Until the power that be get their finger out both old-firm players will continue to dive the second they get inside the box- best way to stop this is simple "deduct points" as for the Ref in that game he should be fined because he had the best view of the lot and he still gave a spot kick.

**HibeeMG** · 05-12-2011 03:38 PM

I texted my Pars supporting mate to say that was the most blatantly biased piece of refereeing I'd seen in a long time.

It's the only explanation for it. The referee had the clearest view of the incident and there is no-way he could have seen it as a penalty without having some sort of ulterior motive.

Strong words, I know, and I'm not one for being conspiratorial normally, but that one really p***ed me off.

As much as that made me laugh it is true, sadly.

***SteveHFC*** · 05-12-2011 03:40 PM

What are the odds of that little p**** (Aluko) scoring against us on Saturday.

**~~Saorsa~~** · 05-12-2011 03:54 PM

Disgraceful dive absolutely nae contact whatsoever. No sure why it's being compared tae the O'Connor incident as there clearly was contact. What is worse is the ref was a few yards from the incident with a totally unobstructed view and actually gave it, which IMO once again brings in tae question refereeing decisions given tae the OF.

Spot on.

There is poor refereeing and there is down right cheating on the refs behalf. Conroy falls into the latter.

Utterly disgraceful decision by Conroy to award a penalty with a FULL view. Cringeworthy.
