This game between Falkirk and Hibs continued the poor tradition of at least one red card being flashed though in this game Falkirk finished the game with 9 men while Hibs finished with 10.

The first few minutes of the game saw Darren Barr slide in to a challenge on Hibernian's Donaldson in which he took the players legs but caught nothing of the ball. Barr's reaction said everything and he didn't protest when Willie Collum pointed to the spot. Donaldson sent Krul the wrong way to put his team 1-0 up from the spot so not the best start to the game ever.

Willie Collum had his card out again before Falkirk kicked off from the centre circle as he booked Donaldson for over-celebrating.

Falkirk looked increasingly jittery at the back though Graeme Barrett just missed out on a cutback from Moutinho though should have scored ten minutes later when he found himself with only the keeper to beat. Ma-Kalamby managed to deflect the shot and Falkirk were dealt another blow when Jack Ross hobbled off to be replaced by Gerard Aafjes.

Darren Barr was then booked for tripping Antoine-Curier but then Donaldson was shown a second yellow for an outrageously late tackle on Steven Thomson which thankfully didn't result in an injury.

It looked as though the sending off of Donaldson fired Falkirk up for the second half as Pedro Moutinho fired in a shot which was deflected back to the striker. He reacted quickly and took the goal well leaving the Hibs keeper no chance.

Falkirk fans celebrations were short lived as Latapy and Riera got their wires cross ed and allowed O'Brian to race clear. Steven Thomson was hot on his heels however and somehow managed to clear the ball over the by-line.

Next came the second red card of the day as Barr went into a challenge with O'Brian right on the touch line. Although the ball hit the Hibs man before going out Collum awarded a throw in to the visitors. Barr was outraged at this decision and promptly slammed the ball on the ground leading to Collum flashing a second yellow and dismissing the Falkirk defender.

The referee was at the centre of the next controversial incident as Cregg fouled Gatheussi and then appeared to say something to the Hibs man who shot got over his injury quick enough to shoot up from the deck and shove Cregg over. The whistler flashed his yellow card to both players but Cregg was to pay the full price shortly after.

Cregg again chased Gatheussi up the touchline and dived into a challenge in which he took the ball out for a throw in. Unfortunately he also took the Hibs man down once again and Cregg was given a 1 minute head start to the showers.

Could have been a good game but was spoiled by silly bookings.
