Actually there is an additional argument to this bizarre incident that you can clearly see Hamilton players who have heard the sound of a ref's whistle and even the goalie has nonchalantly picked up the ball in the knowledge of no threat from any Hearts player and clearly inadvertently gaining a so called advantage. What happened to common sense that some kinda outside interference happened in this instance and you naturally call a 'drop ball' and get on with the game OR even ignore it!!!?? Not in Thomson's case who gave a max advantage to Hearts AGAIN (not the first time btw!!!) and they took it!! As said previously - add it to this ref's huge list of misdemeanours down the years. This was another Thomson gaffe that should not have happened if common sense had prevailed!!
