[CammyF 8,079]

Huge result today. Another goal for Tav and Dessers and what a finish from Matondo.

How is this encroachment? This screen shot is actually taken after Tav hits the ball.

Not a classic, but three points.

I thought it was encroachment, but I don't understand why the penalty wasn't then retaken?

I think it has something to do with who is encroaching? Attacker or defender. Looks like the Hibs players are encroaching?

If Wright's encroaching the Hibs player (at least one, and possibly the one second from the foreground, but his foot is obscured; there might even be another in there, but I can't see from that angle) is too.

Exactly.

Bit disappointed with today's performance. We controlled the game but look powderpuff in defence and attack.  We need to be more incisive up front and concentrate more at the back.  

 

Lundstram and Diamonde both played well.

 

The referee was terrible.  So many incorrect decisions. 

 

Focus now moves to next Sunday, where hopefully we'll defeat another Oirish team.

Hibs player in the D

Considering it was off the back of an international break, I thought we did well. 3 points were all that mattered and we got minutes in the legs for some players. Barasic is a worry for me. His indecisiveness helped Hibs start an attack which lead to their goal.
