Furious Hearts boss Robbie Neilson reckons that referee David Munro should be taking charge of "under-10s" games after his performance in the win over St Mirren.
Barrie McKay's first-half strike was enough for the hosts to secure the three points and tighten their grip on third spot in the Scottish Premiership, with the Jambos now holding a six-point lead over fourth-placed Aberdeen. However, Stephen Robinson's men saw their claims for a penalty in injury time controversially waved away following a VAR check after the ball appeared to connect with Kye Rowles hand in the area.
Despite avoiding the spot-kick Neilson was less than happy at the full-time whistle having been sent to the stands by the man in the middle after two yellow cards. Speaking to BBC Sportsound Neilson insisted his first booking was for pointing out a free-kick was taken from the wrong place.
He claimed to have been bemused when he was given the second. However, pundit Steven Thompson claims he spotted the boss preventing the ball from going back on quickly for a Buddies throw and making a "glasses gesture" to Munro.
Speaking after the full-time whistle, Neilson said: "I've tried to speak to him but he's not ready yet. But I'll try to speak to him because I thought it was embarrassing. The first one I'm just trying to point out that free-kick was 20 yards from where it should've been taken.
"And the second one I did absolutely nothing. Sometimes you get referees like that that would be better playing under-10s football but that's the way it goes."
