Administrator Stan Posted July 21, 2018 Administrator Share Posted July 21, 2018 Watching Raith vs Hearts. Raith went 1-0 up. Hearts equalised with a long-range effort going in top bins. Hearts should have just got the winner but it got disallowed with the keeper coming out for a corner, Berra scoring a header, keeper going over his own player and referee disallowing it. Bizarre and odd decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted July 23, 2018 Administrator Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hearts fined and deducted points for fielding ineligible player https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44927467 Quote Heart of Midlothian have been docked two points and fined £10,000 by the Scottish Professional Football League after fielding an ineligible player in their League Cup win over Cove Rangers. Last week's match at Balmoral Stadium, home of the Highland League outfit, ended in a 2-1 Hearts victory. But the contract of Andrew Irving, 19, who came on in the 65th minute, had not been registered correctly. Of the £10,000 fine, £8,000 has been suspended until the end of next season. The penalty leaves Hearts with three points from their two group stage fixtures. Tynecastle manager Craig Levein said last week the Premiership club would "accept and deal with" any sanctions arising from Irving's non-registration. Hearts failed to reach the knockout rounds of last year's League Cup, spelling the end for Levein's predecessor, Ian Cathro. They are now three points adrift of Group C leaders Inverness and Cowdenbeath, both of whom they will meet in their two remaining matches. They earned two points courtesy of Saturday's penalty shootout win over Raith Rovers. The eight group winners and four best-placed runners-up qualify for the last 16, where they will join Scotland's European representatives Celtic, Aberdeen, Rangers and Hibernian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoRoss Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 Absolute incompetence on behalf of the organiser of the competition. Not factoring in that two teams might be in the Europa League... A very amateurish look on their behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoRoss Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 Just now, Stan said: I thought they moved it to Sunday because of the Europa League games? The games were scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. But because the Old Firm are playing on Thursday, neither can play on Saturday. They should have organised it for a weekend not beside a European midweek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted September 28, 2018 Administrator Share Posted September 28, 2018 Could they not just move it to the weekend after and postpone the league games? Like they do for the FA Cup here when it gets to 5th round and beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First train from Aberdeen gets in about fifteen minutes after kick off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Went as expected to be honest. We had a striker on Thursday night and couldn't score, so today with no strikers was going to be even worse. Fair play to Sadiq for trying. Hopefully this sparks something in the players so they can get their finger our and find the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted December 2, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted December 2, 2018 Unlucky there @ScoRoss, I was only keeping track of the match but when James Wilson (Man United loanee) came on I thought he might have scored the equalizer but never happened, that was never a penalty though but Lewis saved the day in that respect.
