Happy Dosser

Yes and if that pen had been given, so should Maswanhise's, since there was contact on his shin, though not much. We also had a claim for a hand ball from Watt's shot, though I can't understand why Longelo's arm ball in the first half wan't looked at by VAR (or spotted by the linesman and referee). Overall I think a draw was fair but Treacle Tan Man is rather annoying with his fake outrage. "If they overturn, there can be no guesswork, why is that such a difficult notion 🤷‍♂️ well done to mclean for sticking, would have been easy to cave in there. " Spot-on, mfc88.

Surprised to hear Faddy say in his post-match comments on MurdochVision that Hearts should definitely have had a penalty in the Kyziridis incident. I can't see it clearly even on watching several replays. Obviously, Boyd agreed ("Derek will be raging", etc.) and made it worse by claiming the penalty in the previous game at Tynecastle was correctly given too. Maybe if K. hadn't rolled about so much it would have looked more convincing but I agree with JBA that it was surprising it wasn't given in the circs. I thought McInnes was going to have a cardiac arrest at one point.

I must admit my heart sank when I heard Gordon had to be drafted in tonight but I thought he played really well too, though I felt we missed Paul McGinn's composure and passing in general. I've been critical of Steve McLean in the past but thought he withstood the pressure to give Hearts their penalty admirably. The VAR team must have thought that it should have been given but credit to him for sticking to his original decision. So I was wrong twice tonight but Mrs Dosser assures me this is par for the course 😱.

More analysis for the intelectchools on here:

Yes, just another example of the dire state of Scottish football. I'll be very surprised if there is no contoversial decision like a penalty or sending off to torpedo our chances. I fully expect Hearts to exploit his "incompetence"; they will be very physical but curiously fragile when tackled themselves. Wonder what the odds are on a Slattery red card?

It's all falling into place nicely.........😱👹😱. Probs only Beaton could have been worse.

Delighted for him. Should be interesting to see how he gets on in the "best league in the world".

It would have been time to get the Leonard Cohen LPs out the loft. Or descent into weremadness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qae25976UgA

Death wish? Surprised the owner is willing to bankroll him.

Well, as we all know as 'Well fans, it's the hope that kills you, but the players owe us one for yesterday's huge disappointment. I can't believe they want this season to fizzle out.

Thought JBA looked ultra-frustrated/raging after the match yesterday so I hope that translates to the players next Saturday. Terrible KO time, of course, because the authorities couldn't care less about the proles.

I just get disgusted by the sheer dishonesty and mental gymnastics used by Collum (and the authorities generally) to justify the unjustifiable. If I'd had to suffer another year of Kettlewell hoofball and the joy-sucking effect of VAR and its subsequent crap decisions, I would probably have given up going to 'Well games, something that I never thought I would say. In his post-Falkirk interview, I thought JBA bit his tongue a bit and didn't go large on the refereeing decisions in the three games we lost to Falkirk but from the first bad one when Said's wonder goal was chalked off for nothing, it seems we have been pretty hard done to when playing them. Wasn't at Falkirk yesterday but reports of Slattery-esque simulation, a player on a yellow handling without consquence and Bairns players allowed to commit multiple fouls without a caution, it seems it was same old, same old. I doubt Slattery will hang about with a further suspension hanging over him and a very good season behind him.

Sounds like we're going to try to pure malky them. Tongs, ya bass!

Yes, he probably will. I once saw some advice online: "Never get down and dirty with a pig. The pig will just enjoy it and you always end up covered in shit." In any case, if Hearts beat them on Monday night, they'll be cooked. I love the smell of crackling in the morning 😈.

Facts are wasted on stumers, something I have discovered the hard way. You were quite right, best not to engage, and not to argue with half wits.
