I'd love it if McCoist had the balls NOT to mention the red card. However, I doubt it...

Hearts won, they're 9 points clear. Our great club is in a very sorry state. I desperately hope someone steps up at boardroom level and takes the necessary steps to sort this out

[JamieD 18,928]

Well, he mentioned it but he didn't criticise the ref at least.

[Loyal-Bear 229]

Any excuse for that moron. Wonder if it was windy???

[chris182 6,289]

Ah well, we all knew that would be the main excuse

We've beaten the hertz before with 10 men Ally but you need a real manger to do it

[Smile 26,600]

I think the tackle was daft but never a red, Patterson came through the back of Miller and used his elbow to knock him to the ground which was certainly a more cowardly challenge.

Smiths challenge was front on and Patterson avoided it by jumping.

[Jack The Flipper 5,936]

Well he doesn't just mention the red card, on our site he's using it as the excuse. Who'd have thought it.

Well doesn't come as a surprise does it.Its sad to see the man grasping at any straw when its clear he and his team in the dugout are just not up to the challenge.

Grasping at straws just like his apologists on here, it's utterly pathetic and extremely damaging.

Anybody who wants to talk about the game yesterday and doesn't think that a red card after 20 minutes is worth mentioning may lack a grip on reality.

[sammy cox 664]

The grip on reality is simple the management team are not up to the task.When we have struggled to beat ten men in the past its because " its not so easy playing against ten as the other team dig in make it difficult " seems when we go down to ten it doesn't work that way for us.Cant have it both ways lads.

That's fine, mention it but don't use it as an excuse. He says it changed the game, yeah, it did. We actually played well with 10 men, until the master stroke McCoist substitutions we had a chance. Unlike McCoist I would say the turning point was his poor tactical decisions NOT the sending off.

[pcbear 10,913]

Fuck knows what was going through Smiths head when he dived into that tackle, eejit.

[siddiqi_drinker 14,635]

Very few people on here talking about the red. FFs we'd have 20 threads on the subject had it been Mohsni.

Smith, an experienced player, should never have made a tackle like that and in the end helped to lose us a game that was very winnable.

In the circumstances yesterday, every manager in the country would mention the red card the way McCoist did, and some would even go further by saying the ref had lost them the match.

Moshni was dropped for his loss of control - lets hope Smith is consigned to the same fate.
