Couldnt believe the ref didnt pick that horrific tackle up at the time. I can only think he thought it was a 50/50 tackle.
Ref did not give a red card to O'Hanlon, not even a yellow, nor even a free kick. He didn't even give the free kick our way after seeing the stud marks and blood gushing down his shin.
What have we done to the refs this season, no penalties, players wrongly sent off several times, and strangely if you look at the fouls we commit compared to teams against us, why are we the team more often with the more bookings?
One thing for sure, Richie Foran is lucky to still be walking. Look at O'Hanlons face and expression when he put his studs right through Richie...... reminds me of an infamous tackle on Ian Durrant a good few years back. A couple of inches higher and it could have been Richie's blog as well as Chris Hoggs.
Now correct me if I am wrong, we continually get told that if the ref sees a bad tackle and books the offending player, the SPL can NOT take action, as the ref has been deemed to have punished the player. But when its such a horrendous tackle, Im pretty sure they have reviewed it in the past and banned the player. However because its not an old firm player, and just the highland upstarts, it will never happen.
Really urinates me off this stuff, especially when we have missed players for wrong decisions recently
