    He just never gets the break of ref decisions at all. That Kingsley was an embarrassment today, constantly flinging himself to the ground and getting the decision

    Getting absolutely fed up with this idiot. Love the goals, but he did so little in that game. All he does is give away needless fouls and go down too easily looking for freekicks that he is never going to get. Needs to do so, so much better. Along with a few today.

    Case in point is in the 93rd minute, their player is running towards the byline halfway inside his own half and he utterly needlessly puts his hand on him to foul him, giving them another freekick chance.

    Doesn't get a single decision..

    Anytime he goes for the ball the opposition get a foul and everytime he goes down he gets nish..

    Did he get a single freekick today?

    Gets absolutely nothing from the refs, to the point where it is laughable.

    An absolute wild take. He gets thumped and gets nothing, and if he touches an opponent then the ref blows

    Great header from the big man. Needs to hold the ball up better though, he was invisible prior to the goal.

    Doesn't help when he so much breathes on a defender and they get a free kick every time though. The bias against him from the refs is unbelievable

    Completely disagree with you guys. He gets some knocks yes - it's Scottish football and he is a unit, but he is making stupid, stupid little silly fouls away all the * time. He must know that if he puts his hands out onto the back of a player in Scotland they will go down and they get a freekick.

    I didn't see him get any bad fouls against him today, but he went down 2-3 times minimum.

    That was an outstanding textbook header. Strong as an ox to lose his man and absolutely batter it into the bottom corner. * love the big man.

    Gets some knocks? He blows on a player and it's a freekick..

    Did he get a single freekick today, just one?

    Most attacking team in the league yet no had 1 penalty this season, says it all, only ones we ever get are when we are 4-0 up

    Kyogo. A phenomenon
    It’s an area of his game I actually agree with you on to an extent - but he is a born goal scorer and of huge value to us.

    Not tap ins either.

    100%. He's definitely a marked man now. The same fouls that refs are giving against him he doesn't get himself.

    In a few games this season I completely agree with this take by the way, but the last few games I have seen him, he is doing very little for me. I didn't see any egregious fouls on him today, so cannot say if he should have won any freekicks with certainty. There was maybe one that was dodgy. I just think he needs to be soo much smarter with it.

    As I said above, loving his goal contributions, but there is so much more he can give and he needs to stop moaning his face off constantly as that will make him more of a marked man with referees. I think we need more aggressive players that don't just take it, but the way he does it does him and us no favours.

    Sorry but 100% not taking any criticism of this guy whatsoever.

    Know what the sign is of a top striker? One that can bail you out in the toughest of situations when things aren't going your way.

    That's both McDiarmid Park and Tynecastle where he's popped up with a bit of quality to turn games in our favour. An absolutely incredible character to have around the place. One of my favourite players when it comes to mentality at the moment.

    Scored at a vital time. Always turns up when it's needed. Get in big man and keep it coming. Think his hold up play could have been a little bit better but he was * given nothing by they * in black.
