Agreed Orco; a nothing story with typical over reaction. They were having a laugh & a joke & its time some Livi fans re-discovered their sense of humour.

Myles has apologized for it so that's the end of it as far as I'm concerned, hopefully he's learnt his lesson and keeps a calm head the next time a player tries to wind him up.
Beanie got himself sent off for being equally stupid, he had that in his temperament and wasn't a young player either.

I disagree, I think given his behaviour against Dumbarton, he should be trying to win the fans who've turned against him back. All this video does is antagonise the fans further and it's highly unprofessional in my book.

The only fans it antagonises are the ones looking to be antagonised. Every bit of our players lives on social media is being scrutinized just now because we're sitting bottom of the league. He's just a young player larking about with another young player, in fact all he's doing is sitting on the bus laughing when Moses is taking the piss out of him, give him a break.
I think some of our fans want our players to live like monks and constantly look like they're going to the gallows. |

This is yet another non-story. A slow news day and some media mischief making, resulting in a total nonsense of a debate!
From Hippo's perspective, he's only mimicking a standard match day 'interview' with Moses that the Arsenal players do with Oxlade-Chamberlain. It's an attempt at a laugh and a joke. Give the guy a break and don't fall for the consequential hysteria arising from our boys having the audacity to make challenges against Rangers on Tuesday night. A load of nonsense. A bad tackle in a football match? That's never happened before! It has never happened to us either. Rangers have never been guilty of it.
Scottish football is in such a sad place if this is all newsworthy. The Old Firm-biased media is scraping the barrel if it's trying to conjure up a story out of a video by a young suspended player, a bad tackle by another young player and a defensive comment from a young manager.
Only in Scotland could a mis-timed tackle and a comment be taken as having a complex political agenda. It's embarrassing that any of it is given air time.

I remember the tar and feathers were out for Talbot last season after some of his tackles, seems it's Myles turn this season, we Livi fans love to vilify our own players.
What is really sad is where the source of this came from, and after we gave them a tough game too. It's bad enough the bull they're throwing around about Livi with Gibbons without us turning on our own. This despicable rag has had it in for us since our MDM editor dared print they no longer existed as their former club, they were defunct, deceased, a dead parrot, sorry club. Lets not give them the satisfaction of seeing their plan worked.
It wont help us any giving one of our players a hard time, we as fans need to back the manager & players to keep us in the Championship. |

I have to say I disagree with most of the comments on here, whilst I understand that it may have been 'banter' or a 'joke', it remains completely unprofessional and shows both of the culprit's naivety. Myles has become a fallen hero in past weeks, and this will do nothing to rebuild his reputation with the Livingston fans.
Have to agree on the Rangers debacle though. Complete overreaction from all those involved. Claiming that any of the Livi players went out with intention of hurting any of the Rangers players is ridiculous. If you watch the tackle again, there is no malice, Oduwa simply knocks the ball aside too quickly for Gibbons.

Well it would do, Mr Angry but then it would annoy you if they were sitting like a couple of miseries. Away and speak to Mr Happy & get a new outlook on life, its too short to be concerned about a couple of young football players having a laugh. |

Id rather they looked miserable than mocked the fact that they were suspended for our quarter final. |

It's not too clever to get filmed looking delighted at being suspended and even less clever to allow it to be shared online.

I don't think you'll get an argument about it not being too clever Pedro, it's the age we live in though, young folk doing silly stuff and putting it up on facebook or twitter. Looks random on Myles part and imo wasn't intended to be disrespectful to anyone, just silliness from two young guys.
I clicked on a link to Moses twitter when he first signed for us and it was full of short clips of silliness, you get folk looking to make something out of things though and lazy journalists just love looking about twitter, forums, facebook etc to find a story, esp when the players of a club are attending a game against The Sevco, gets their knuckle dragging fans interested and sells papers/ups their ratings.
Clubs should have it written into contracts that players shouldn't have twitter/facebook accounts, just gets them into trouble.
A prime example of the media exploiting something was Jason Talbot's high boot to Nicholson's face, when LIVItv put up a short clip of the incident it was used by the media to go after and destroy Talbot, which also lead to the CO getting involved and offering him a ban. They're cyber sharks looking for a smell of internet blood. |

Both have paid the penalty by being excluded from the squad. Leaves us with only 5 subs again. Gives the opposition a boost before a ball is kicked. I know that we have long term casualties in Cole, Mullen and Sives. Surely we have youngsters to step in and get stripped, even as a gesture?

They were not missed today, however add Hippo into the game when he is on his game amongst what we saw today (that was those of us that bothered to turn up!!!) and all I can say is game on. But as I said were not missed today.

Looks like they were both dropped from the squad by Burchill, should be a reality check for both of them, esp Hippo, he's been excluded from a game where we've put in our best performance of the season, that should send a message to him that he'll need to work very hard and fight for a place to get back into our team.
He's a talented player but he has a lot to learn and he wont do that if he doesn't work hard. What a bench we'll have with everyone fit though, when Buchanan is a sub it shows we've a strong squad even with key players injured/suspended/sent to Coventry.

They're cyber sharks looking for a smell of internet blood. I think Talbot nearly removing the guys face in the first place was the catalyst behind the uproar that surrounded the incident. And the fact that Hearts themselves put up a picture, taken in the dressing room during the game, on Twitter showing the stud marks on lads face showed that Hearts themselves were intent on going after Talbot too. |
