Kyle blasts Diamond
Kevin Kyle has labelled Aberdeen's Zander Diamond "a big baby" and accused the defender of trying to get him sent off in Hearts' 1-0 win over the Dons.
Kyle hit the only goal of the game less than 40 seconds into the second half, but claims he may not have been on the pitch had Diamond's reaction to a 15th minute clash been seen differently by referee Mike Tumilty.
The match official handed out seven yellow cards in a physical encounter, but opted only to speak to Kyle on that occasion.
The former Sunderland and Coventry striker said: "I've scored the winner but he's tried to get me sent off. It was just a long ball up the park, I've come across, won the header and he's screamed like a big baby and rolled about on the ground. He's tried to get me sent off and within 10 seconds he's up on his feet, so what's wrong with him?
"It got me so wound me up because I get kicked from pillar to post every week and I take it on the chin. I get up and get on with it, and to see that from another professional is crap. If the referee had seen that differently, I might not have been on the park."
