Miko Should Be Off The Boos Now

Mar 16 2008 By Euan Mclean

HEARTS boss Stevie Frail paid tribute to Saulius Mikoliunas for silencing the boo boys who won't let him forget his cheating antics against Scotland last year.

The Lithuanian copped pelters from the St Mirren fans yesterday, as he does most weeks from opposition supporters who'll never forgive his dive to win a penalty against the Scots last September.

But Frail (right) reckons Miko has bounced back brilliantly from the ibcident and reckons everyone else should forget it too.

Frail said: "I'm delighted for him because he has needed broad shoulders to handle the abuse and has kept chipping away.

"Every time he goes down people think he dives yet in recent games the tackles against himhave been pretty crude. Some players go down easily and not a lot is said yet as soon as one of my players goes down, especially the Lithuanians, everyone calls them cheats."

Buds' hero Jim Hamilton notched his first goal for the club then told strike pal Craig Dargo he will break his duck soon.

Jim (far right) said: "If Craig keeps working his socks off the goals will come. He has a great record and is a goal creator as well as scorer."
