Aim Here Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 A pivotal game, this one - the two worst-behaved teams in the top-tier duke it out in a hotly contested cardfest to determine the ugliest team in Scotland David Martindale clearly has his team well-drilled in terms of foul rotation, with their 82 yellow cards (the most in the league) only netting them 5 red cards. Meanwhile Hibernian's mid-table tally of only 70 yellow cards have netted them a table-topping 8 red cards so far this season, but on the plus side, Ryan Porteous will be serving out his fourth disciplinary suspension this season, boosting Hibernian's chances of ending the match with 11 players on the pitch. The match officiating is likely to be pivotal in this game, with referee Chris Graham an unknown quantity, this being his first ever Scottish Premiership game. While he's untested at this level, he did manage to send off three players at an Ayr versus Raith league game earlier this season, suggesting he's perfectly able to whip out a card or three when he needs to. Meanwhile, if you're one of those nerds who cares about meaningless statistics, there is also the chance that one team might score more goals than the other to mathematically assure them of mid-to-low-table Premiership football next season, but who gives a toss? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 This game could see both sides safe from relegation completely with a draw pending other results. Would be fun to just kick f**k out each other and forget about scoring goals Let this rookie ref go mental with his cards 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviLion Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Konovalov Devlin - Fitzwater - Boyes - Longridge Pittman - Holt - Omeonga* Nouble - Anderson** - Shinnie *Not sure if Omeonga will be out injured, would prefer to see McMillan or Sibbald if possible instead of Kelly in his place. **Anderson probably isn't fit and just making up the numbers on the bench, but a boy can dream. Probably stick Soto there if we think we'll have him back on loan next season, or Nouble/Shinnie in the middle and Bailey on the wing. Probably safe to assume neither of these teams are ending up in the play off. Hopefully get some goals and meaty tackles, 3-2 and a couple red cards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leith Green Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I might well go to Livi on Saturday.....................but only to buy some new jeans. No danger I am going to watch this one.

Cannae remember the last time I was at a festival..............suspect I am too old for all the standing round now. Did a decent cycle in East Lothian yesterday and up Pentlands with the boy today - I am a broken man. If there was an auld b*****ds "VIP zone" with nice comfy seats, serving Bains Pies and excellent cask Ales, I would be right up fer it - but suspect that aint happening 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIVIFOREVER Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 If Forrest is available it's a good opportunity for him to seal the deal on his Hearts interest, scoring a couple against Hibs. They couldn't handle him in our last game here, and he got Hanlon sent off, scored the winner in our 3-2 win at ER too. Surprised Hibs aren't interested in him tbh, always plays well against them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be delighted if he stays, certainly don't want him to leave, but with all the rumours going about it isn't looking very good for him being with us next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoose Rice Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Going swimming with the kids to Perth, they get a lot more excitement going down the flumes than I get sitting watching this pish so it wins hands down. 2-0 Livi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perth pool must be the go to place when the alternative is pish Last time I was there was 10 years ago - an afternoon away from the pissing rain when we were away with my boy and his pals camping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's class there for the kids mate. Outdoor bit they love jumping into, mats, river rapids flumes and bit for the toddler. Spent 4 hours there on Monday and time flew by. Usually love an away day to Livi too but this season has scunnered me man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annan Athletic v Kelty Hearts for me, tick off another ground, probably be more entertaining than this shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1875 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Subjecting myself to this as the old man wanted to go, first game since before lockdown so somewhat looking forward to it in my own grim way. Where would be the best place to park near the stadium? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Graham’s Lovely Hair Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I usually like an away trip to Livi but I canny be bothered with this one. The last two home games of the season will be enough for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chefki Kuqi Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Just a curiosity but how is Joel Nouble doing for yourselves? I saw him highly talked up by Arbroath fans and from what I can tell seems to have done well enough since returning from loan, including in a game against us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
