McGrath has struggled against thon Lembakisa (sp). He's tricky.

Refs have to be stronger when called to the monitor. Ultimately they make the final decision. Weak referring.

Agreed.

Look at Clancy, he couldn't rip the skin off a rice pudding.

Our officials are terrible and no courage to make the correct decision. The SFA should be binning some of their 517 employees and get some decent officials in from abroad.

[Millertime]

We are absolutely shit in front of goal

This games crying out for Duk

[Russell]

This game ready made for Duk running in behind them. McGrath off

[a don in oz]

Agree with the last two comments. Duk for McGrath looks like an obvious change.

 

[WesthillWanderersFC]

Decent first half. 

Been the better team.

On the wrong end of another VAR. 

Wednesday was obviously an anomaly 

[minijc]

Fairly happy with that first happy, need to create a better quality of chances though.

[Oregon Red]

A good first half . But for fucking VAR

[Awayfromhomered]

Happy enough with that performance. 

I'd have taken going into the break feeling aggrieved we're not ahead before Kick-Off.

Someone explain to the stubborn ginger in the dugout then.   

[fine-n-dandy]

If we had scored there it would have been chopped off as well. Only 5 seconds left of added time

[Reed or deed]

We need to score

[Frank Grimes]

We’ve been decent but we need to keep that tempo up 

Hearts cannot be as bad in the second half 

[redstrummer]

gtf Clancy , robbed us there

[jamiesd]

Decent fighting performance. Surprised.  Keep going 👏

[CarrotCake]

Pleasantly surprised with the performance so far. We have been the better team which given the midweek performance, I didn't expect.

Duk to come on and seal a 2-1 victory. 

[fine-n-dandy]

Bet Robson’s first sub on will be fkn Hayes. Lucky if Duk gets on with more than 10 mins to go

[Ke1t]

We've looked the better team, and for once we aren't simply being outfought.

 

[thurso]

Thought we. Were the better team for most of that half and should be 1 up. 
Keep it going the same and we should win this game. 

[Elderadojnr]

A lot better. Refs not giving us much tho.

[scottymc]

Watched footy for over 35 years and I have never been as close to sacking it as I have now. VAR is a fucking cancer to the game. 
 

Miovski scored a fucking belter and I didn’t celebrate because I saw the wee hearts boy trip over his own heels a few seconds before it. The biggest part of enjoying football as a sport is the celebrations when you score. 

good first half from us but fuck VAR. despise it

It was accidental, but he still tripped him

We are shocking in the opposition box

[Redforever86]

Shinnie playing well for once, makes a big difference.

They've really fucked VAR in Scotland. They're 100% using it to re-referee the games which was never supposed to be the purpose of it. 

But... SFA.

100% Clancey saw nothing wrong initially played on VAR gets involved totally wrong. You can bet if either of the ugly sisters were playing that instance would have never even been looked at. 
 

VAR killing the game since 2022

You must have a better stream than me then because even with the red specs off I didn’t see any angle that was anywhere near conclusive 

As usual I think you’re just trying to be objective for the sake of it

Unfortunately, he did

Could tell by Miovskis reaction too

I fear his ability to keep this tempo, though.

Hearts look very ordinary, though, and Mio is levels above Shankland.

Might still win this.

[ahead on alphabet]

Midfield doing well. 

Looking forward to McGrath coming off for Hayes and a back 5 in the second half.

In a situation like that how do you decide who made contact. The hearts player ran across him while he’s running to get into the box. In a different situation it could be viewed as a foul on Bojan if he went down and was stopped getting to the ball.
