Noticing a trend recently with opposition targeting Just for 'special' treatment. Were all three Hearts bookings for fouls on him?

Couldn't see past O'Donnell, seemed to be everywhere last night, unlucky not to score and think the goal saving block early on might be even better than Johnny K's in the first home game against Hibs . Thought Gordon done really well and Watt was the pick of midfield.

I thought we weren't at our best but definitely deserved a point, great crowd and atmosphere. On the penalty claims I think we were lucky to get away with the Longelo one but Kyziridis takes a dive when he can easily take a touch on the ball instead. The rolling about obviously just to make sure VAR take a look. For ours on Maswanhise it would have been soft but looks like there was slight contact from both Hearts players. Hopefully get a win on Wednesday to put 4th beyond doubt.

Just seen the KMI Panel outcomes from last weekend are available: The panel unanimously agreed that the on-field decision was incorrect. The panel highlighted VAR should have intervened to recommend an OFR and a penalty should have been awarded. They class this as a difficult decision where the referee needs the help of technology to make the correct decision, yet in this case VAR didn't get involved. Why? Slattery payback? I'm sure the VAR Review show for April will clear it up 🤔

Wondered where Ricki Lamie was playing these days. Remember him scoring against Hearts twice in one season not so long ago.

Can't get much clearer than that. Would love to hear the VAR audio on this one.

Can't remember more frustrating game this season. Thought we were showing signs of taking control before gifting the second. Worrying that Falkirk adopted the same man for man approach from the start today as they did in the second half back in October and we seemed, yet again, to have no answer to it. Haven't seen the penalty incidents again but hope not being disadvantaged because of the Slattery incident and the arse that was made of it.

Pretty poor overall. Thought we defended well for most of the game but didn't quite have enough once we crossed the halfway line. Moved the ball too slow and guy on the ball had a lack of options too often. Hibs seemed to be playing not to lose first and foremost and maybe hope something broke their way.

Went for O'Donnell. Energy levels unbelievable. Made so many runs forward without taking away from his defensive responsibilities. Slattery, Said and Maswanhise also impressive. Bjørgolfsson also looked a handful when he came on.

We can be better but comfortable win all the same. How many 2 nils is that now? Should really be putting a fiver on that every home game.

Went for Just. What a find. Clever, makes great runs, vision and a finish with the right foot. Priestman also a find. O'Donnell immense at the back and going forward. Great to see Bjørgolfsson get off the mark. Wouldn't be surprised to see him going on a we run now. No failures, subs all made a contribution.

Not to mention playing football with a purpose.

That is a hiding anybody's book. Thought we should have been further in front at half time but credit to the team for keeping it going from start to finish. Great boost to the goal difference.

I think we should get 4 points for this win!

Need to move on, full focus on the league now. Would not be surprised if Aberdeen go out at East End BTW.
