Rangers who've lost their last two games against the top 6, and might well lose three in a row tomorrow? Don't think I'll be taking anything for granted there.

In this league this year you can take nowt for granted but if you are neck and neck with another team you'd rather they faced one of the OF than anyone else, even as shite as Rangers are.

I think we got away with one on that VAR check but then if you give that you have to give the Maswanhise one so probably balanced itslef out.

Nowhere enough contact for a penalty. Nor was ours at other end.  
You could just as easily say it was a foul on Welsh at their goal because of contact - that wasn’t a foul either.  

[Orinoco]

Or the hand ball in the box that VAR did not bother looking at.

[Richie]

Kyziridis can easily ride the challenge, but throws himself to the ground

[Orinoco]

And is still rolling...

[texanwellfan]

I think we Came out ok today with VAR

probably our worst performance of the season from stats point of view. So not too bad when your worst stats performance gets you a point.

Exactly. In that case the Hearts player lifted his hand up and diverted the ball but I’d give benefit that he was most likely naturally just protecting his face. 

[Ya Bezzer!]

Worth a point.

Game of few chances, bit sloppy at times, looked a bit weary, hopefully we have one more home performance in us this season.

Found that unbelievably stressful tonight, we just didn’t get into a rhythm and that second half performance was not like us at all.
Watt was doing my head in, kept putting us under unnecessary pressure by giving the ball away in really dangerous positions, he’s been doing this more and more. We Oscar I thought was overrun as well, he’s did ok against a strong midfield but I think his lightness showed in a game like this. We needed Fadinger. I hope we have him and McGinn back midweek as we will miss Welsh.

anyway as someone mentioned earlier, a point against the top of the league side who has had a lot of luck this year and to not play that well…. Fair doos.
On to Celtic now… let’s see what that brings.

Can't agree with the manager that we were outstanding.

He'll be working on the issue in training, but I'm all in favour of managers backing their players in public.

We might not have been at our best, but we found a way to get a point against a Hearts team that's very difficult to play against.

I'm not saying he should slate them but there's no way we were outstanding .

Not the word I would use either but perhaps from the point of view of digging in and not getting beat? I’d say that’s the best I’ve seen Hearts play against us this season.

I'm pretty sure he knows what he's saying. What's the use of pointing out any technical, tactical or performance issues in an interview?

Any game we dont lose, we are outstanding, especially against the potential champions tonight, we were always trying to get forward and were in their faces, and looked threatening when we did, we defended very well, Ward never had a difficult save to make even when Hearts were pressing hard we looked solid.

So all in all i think an outstanding performance is a fair assessment of how the game went

No penalty so why was he not booked for diving, i bet he wont see a 4 game ban for simulation or whstever Slattery was done for, usual shit house refereeing agsin.

It was and the worst we've played against them. We were due a slice of luck against them.

We need to agree to differ on what we see as outstanding

Because they're not mutually exclusive. The ref might have decided it was "normal football contact", whatever that means this week.
