There has hardly been a time, especially in recent years when a goalless Edinburgh derby has attracted so much media attention.
Halloween Havoc
By the time the fixture had finished the game itself had played second fiddle to what took place off the field.
Last night’s match report can be found here.
Talking Points
Referee Andrew Dallas
I have, in my opinion, and justifiably so criticized this official several times regarding his previous performances, however, was he right in showing Hibs forward Florian Kamberi two yellow cards and in doing so ended up sending the Swiss international for an early shower.
Sending Off
Florian Kamberi – first yellow.
Dallas booked Florian for persistent fouling – 41 minutes. I have a feeling the official was out of order when a word of warning should have sufficed.
Second yellow.
Kamberi ended up being penalised for an aerial challenge on Oliver Bozanic. Tempers overflowed and low and behold, on 65 minutes out came the second card.
Tempers are flaring at Tynecastle in the Edinburgh derby…
🔴 Kamberi has seen red for Hibs!

Off The Field Incidents
Death threats, Hearts keeper, punched and Neil Lennon on the wrong end of a missile attack can be found here.

What do you make of this?
"As a manager, you cannot act like a fan and Neil Lennon does that."
Hibs boss Neil Lennon was hit by a coin last night during an incident-packed Hearts v Hibs game.
However, Alan and Tony Cascarino believe Lennon should take some responsibility for the coin throw.
