TBF, transfer discussions often don't involve managers talking to each other; it usually happens at the boardroom level. Robinson, for example, said he never spoke to Brendan about the Ciftci move.
I don't know why teams bother with the low ball offers.
If there was any chance of us lining up an equivalent replacement, Celtic should make an offer for him and leave Carson where he is.
I think Robinson's point was not that we were better team. Just that, as an away team, we created sufficient good chances to have won the game.
(Plus, he was bigging us up, which is fair enough).
I think Hibs are a better team, but Hears have been more difficult to beat on their home patch. Lennon has been bemoaning the fact they lack a cutting edge, so hope that continues in this game.
For all that, I'd be quite happy with a point.
I was thinking the exact same thing. As well as killing the flow of the game, there was nothing terrible about the 2 decisions that needed to be overturned.
Even in games like American Football, the teams hated it so much the got rid of it for a while until they worked out a way to limit its use. And that's a game where breaks are more natural.
This was shaping up to be a cracking game until WBA's 3rd goal was disallowed.
Exactly. And what do they do during the breaks? Go and play more games.
I remember the year Dundee Utd played in the UEFA Cup Final. The final itself was something like the 63rd or 64th game their players had played that season. And that didn't include any international appearances.
