Hibs v Hamilton Accies, Sat 20 February, KO 3.00pm
#7
Hamiltons red card overturned and a yellow given

In my opinion this is the correct decision although many Hibs fans were saying it was stick on red.  The problem is that any hard tackle at speed is always going to be a fraction of a second away from being mistimed and becoming a shocker. The stills of the incident show his foot was at the height of the ball which he did get before Boyle and then the only contact then was as he followed through and there was not a great deal even then. I know Boyle was at pace but he certainly milked the situation .

If Boyle had already knocked the ball passed him and then he took him out in the same way with his foot that high then I would have shouted for a red also.

Mind you I was brought up watching Harris of Chelsea and Hunter of Leeds so my judgement is probably clouded. Big Grin
