McInnes suggested his side might have got away with one when he was asked about the decision to deny St Mirren going into a 3-1 lead in Paisley.<\/p>\n
The VAR team deemed Mark O’Hara, who was in an offside position, interfered with play by blocking the path of Lawrence Shankland when Hearts were attempting to defend a deep free-kick.<\/p>\n
The move ended with Miguel Freckleton escaping Hearts’ high line and scoring what he felt was a third St Mirren goal, but referee Matthew MacDermid agreed with the VAR when he reached the monitor.<\/p>\n
That set-play was one of many that caused carnage in the Hearts box, something McInnes referred to post-match.<\/p>\n
But the Hearts boss was equally as keen to reference the resilient mentality that ensured his side left Paisley with a point, extending their 10-game unbeaten start.<\/p>\n
“We’re disappointed with the goals we lose,” McInnes added. “It’s the first time we’ve looked susceptible from set-plays.<\/p>\n
“Sometimes St Mirren put that pressure on you and you make poor decisions. But by and large I thought we were good in the game. <\/p>\n
“I loved the way the team were at the end. The support stay there at the death because they feel another goal is coming. <\/p>\n
“That’s a great feeling to have as a manager, you feel the players are doing everything to get that winning goal.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"McInnes suggested his side might have got away with one when he was asked about the decision to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":233260,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-233259","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=233259"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233259\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/233260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=233259"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=233259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
