Typical McInnes tactics first half even teams not too many fouls ,second half they target playmaker Just for some tough treatment. Great entertainment for a Saturday night under the floodlights. We really are a good team.

If someone is standing on your foot you cant jump 2 feet into the air.

Although both the professionals in the studio said that's exactly what they used to do 😅

Not all contact in football is a foul though. Kyziridis clearly threw himself to the ground and McInnes is an odious prick. The ref got that one right and clearly thought he went down too easily, so disagreed with VAR.

Exactly.

As others have said great atmosphere and a decent game last night. Thought we were better in the first half and Hearts tried to drag us down to their level in the second half.

Keep up grandad, Murdoch sold Sky years ago. It's ComcastVision these days.

Thanks!

What's wrong with being a grandad? 🤔

I see Longelo as our main attacking threat. As seen with our goal. Yet most of our pressing seemed to be down the right wing when Longelo seemed to be crying out for service.

Re the penalties.

For me, Kyziridis is running away from goal and has lost control of the ball. There is slight contact from Maswanhise, but Kyziridis heels are spring loaded and he throws himself to the ground quite embarassingly.

Ive seen them given, and I would have been screaming for it, but I think McLean gets that right, and fairplay to him for standing his ground.

My justification for that is the foul on Welsh for Shanklands goal. I dont think there was enough in that either, but there is way more contact than the penalty claim and the push stops Welsh getting any sort of jump on the ball.

Boyd and McFadden apply double standards there. If they think Kyziridis is a stonewall pen then it has to be a foul on Welsh. You cant have it both ways.

As for JTs pen. I was certain it was a pen at the game but when you see it slowed down, he definitely kicks the Hearts players leg and loses his balance. No pen for me.

Noticing a trend recently with opposition targeting Just for 'special' treatment.

Were all three Hearts bookings for fouls on him?

He definitely has been targetted.

The number of fouls committed on him in the last few games has been quite ridiculous.

I know he is quick and often nips the ball away before his opponent, but they are all leaving the foot in to ensure they stop him breaking away.

Thankfully he is young(ish) and quite hardy for a wee guy.
