Was it inevitable that Porto would get himself sent off?

***RIP*** · 03-10-2021 04:50 PM

Was anyone else worried before the match?

***easty*** · 03-10-2021 04:51 PM

No

**Wilson** · 03-10-2021 04:51 PM

No.

***hibee_girl*** · 03-10-2021 04:51 PM

Absolutely not

**MWHIBBIES** · 03-10-2021 04:57 PM

Probably yeah. There is an agenda against him and while today wasn't a red card, a classier defender stays up and wins it without the need to slide in.

Ryan is a great player, but that won't be his last red in a big game.

One hundred percent

**~~Peevemor~~** · 03-10-2021 05:00 PM

No. I thought he'd cut out the daft challenges.

We get it you think it was a red card. It wasn't it was an atrocious decision from the official.

First red of the season. None last season?

Not exactly the bad boy of Scottish football.

Certainly not a given that he would get sent off.

***Baader*** · 03-10-2021 05:03 PM

No and it isn't his fault that the officials are incompetent cheats.

I've never once said that I thought it was a red.

**Coco Bryce** · 03-10-2021 05:05 PM

Said to my mate just before KO. Nisbet would score today and Porto would probably get sent off as he would be buzzing playing against them.

In fairness to him it's not exactly a clear cut decision either way, some angles look completely innocuous including the main live TV angle but then others look like his leg is straight with studs up and his foot is completely over the ball with more force than is needed to win the ball fairly.

The more I look at it I honestly can't tell if it's a red or a clean tackle. My opinion changes every camera angle ...

***hibee*** · 03-10-2021 05:07 PM

Totally agree. Parts of his game are excellent but he takes liberties, and he doesn't seemed to have changed that way either. For all that he's a really good player but the sending off changed the game IMO.

The fact he takes all of the ball and none of the man tells you it was a clean tackle

We’re talking about a contact sport and a guy has been shown a straight red card for making no contact in a challenge, he’s been sent off because he’s Ryan porteous no player in blue is sent off for a challenge like that

***bigwheel*** · 03-10-2021 05:21 PM

What a ridiculous OP …there was no reason to expect him to be off today

It wasnt a red card. Its tragic seeing hibs fans reinforce a smear campaign started in the media by people with agendas, the same ones who have smeared Boyle. Ryans a tall poppy and young too many misery guts in Scottish society just want to pull people down. I wouldnt blame the lad if he wanted to get away from Scotland.

Football has moved past the stage of "contact makes anything okay". The ref has judged that there was intent to harm and In that scenario whether he makes contact or not is irrelevant.

For what it's worth I'm undecided but if I had to choose I'd say it probably was a red. But my point is that whether he makes contact with the ball is irrelevant, and that's not even up for debate it's literally in the rules of the game.

You know that making contact has absolutely nothing to do with whether it's a red card don't you?

It's a very 'Ryan Porteous' tackle. Can easily stay on his feet and win the ball but decides to go to ground and go for the needless hard man approach. Cost us today.

Someone on twitter posted a bet had placed on it happening. Think was 25-1.

Come on, that's a bit unfair on Peevemor.

All he's said (as far as I can see) is that Porteous should probably have been a bit more careful.

That ref was atrocious and was looking for any excuse to send off a Hibs player, while ignoring the same type of challenges from The Stickies.

Was strolling it too , cost us dear, maybe the lad from down south can force his way into the team next few games

You very obviously never seen real hard ****ers playing and making tackles. This smells a bit like smear.

***cameronw-hfc*** · 03-10-2021 05:40 PM

Inevitable, no. Worried he would get sent off, yeah

**The Captain....** · 03-10-2021 05:41 PM

What chance have you got when your own fans are swallowing the narrative.

No, I didn't think he'd get sent off and I still don't think it was a red. A weak and questionable referee with a history of giving Rangers favourable decisions reacted to the crowd and couldn't wait to theatrically wave a red card.

Scottish football is absolutely rancid.

It was reckless and though he won the ball it gave the referee the opportunity to flash the red and appease the crowd.
I like Porteous but it was poor judgement that eventually cost us the game.

Couldn't give a **** about hard ****ers playing for us or not. How about players keeping the bloody head and not diving into tackles they could win on their feet

***The Harp*** · 03-10-2021 06:04 PM

You'll be hoping those fair-minded guys on Sportscene agree with your view. Doesn't seem many on here do.
