Lol - Miller's early falling over antics were absolutely laughable, esp when he was seriously demanding free kicks and he was not touched by anybody. As you say - a dick head! IMO Beaton is not even a biased ref, he's just a poor ref! My gripe re yesterday's match is, as previously said - no early authority applied to time-wasting and also his poor interpretation of persistent fouling + the added short time at the end of the match was a joke! The blame word keeps being raised and if any blame was gonna be insinuated, I'd point that blame at the SFA (not the refs!) who train and provide some bloody awful refs who consistently haunt Scottish footie matches. Like it or not, Hibs have been the victims of some awful decision-making by some ref numpties who either bottle it in big matches or they are just downright incompetent. Ultimately Hibs lack of a decent pen box striker finally caught up with them in this play-off tie - we were by far the better side but, much like the hugely disappointing Scottish Cup result against Falkirk, goal scoring chances were not taken and we're in a Championship league that we don't want to play in and the club will lose even more money by being there. Re our striking failure, that terrible El Alagui injury really didn't help our season. Also Martin Boyle's late season injury didn't help Hibs cause either because his form was good at the tail end of the season. Hibs tentative move in January for a dynamic striker like Leigh Griffiths indicated to most Hibs fans that Stubbs and Hibs FC really wanted to improve our striking stats by bringing a diehard Hibee like Leigh but it wasn't to be. I genuinely believe our season would've been far more successful if Hibs had pulled off that transfer or a similar one elsewhere - sadly it didn't happen and hopeful success turned into scepticism for many Hibs fans. It's a shame for a great Hibs support that has been badly let down so often by the club. Apparently Hibs ST sale prices will be the same for another season in the Championship and IMO it's inevitable that many fans will not purchase them - not for such a poor league with so many unattractive fixtures against lower football clubs that have no significant fan base whatsoever!! Value for money? Definitely not!
