Penalty kick distractions
It’s not the sort of thing you want to see at the breakfast table. Anyone leafing through the pages of The Daily Record this morning will have noticed some unusual off-field activities during the Edinburgh derby.
Already trailing Hearts by two first half goals, Hibs fans were confronted with utter humiliation when their opponents were awarded a penalty. But rather than accepting the loss sitting down, one Hibee got to his feet for the good of his team.
Paul Hartley scored from the spot, but it seems that the culprit’s efforts were not entirely in vain. Hartley’s agent confirmed that the player had spotted the offending item behind the net, even if it wasn’t enough to put him off. So, maybe there’s some merit in the plan after all. Perhaps a little tinkering is all that’s required. Mass participation could produce the desired result… something to think about, eh?
