Just certainly does appear to being singled out for "special treatment" the referees should be doing more to protect him. If they dont, guys like Said will end up getting booked or sent off trying defend their team mate. Dickinson is a really poor referee which, given the pool he swims in, is really saying something.....

It absolutely IS our selling point. But that doesnt mean we have to sell all our good players at the one time. They all signed contracts they were happy with. The club wont stand in their way, but we WILL manage the squad to ensure we remain competitive. The manager said as much the other day.

Priestman for me. Should never have been subbed as Fadinger and Watt both had off games. Hope Jens isnt doing the seniority thing. That only works up to a point.

2 week break to re-charge the batteries and think up new strategies. Just and Maswanhise being away will hamper preparations and maybe rule them out of this one, depending on how much gametime they get and flights back. Could do with Koutroumbis and Longelo being back. Falkirk losing again today keeps them off our tails, but we could do with 3 points when we are off to Tynecastle before the split.

Thought we were decent enough first half without being exceptional. The offside goal.was hard to take but the right decision and we didnt carve out any other clear cut chances. Second half, the drop off.was considerable and probably the poorest half since Falkirk at home. Thought Fadinger looked outnof sorts today, not sure if it was the mask/sun giving him problems but he wasnt his usual self. I thought subbing Priestman was a mistake as he was having a much better game and we looked worse after he went off. Too many stray passes, although Hibs press caused us problems and closed off a lot of space, which slowed us down and caused us to go backwards. Nice to get the clean sheet and maintain our unbeaten run at home, but it feels like 2 points dropped and Jens is gonna have to think up a new plan as teams have started to get organised around what we do. We may not lose many more games, but at the moment its hard to see where we win one.

Aye, didnt really look at those still in contract that we might like to move on. Stama being another one, but Ive already mentally got him being a Sydney player next season.

Only got round to watching this last night as there was hee haw on the tv. Im acually raging about the tackle on Just by Oxlade - Chamberlain now. Never thought too much of it at the time and felt a yellow was probably about right, but when you see the pictures that were available to VAR and the intitial point of contact, I just cant fathom how they dont think thats a red card. Especially when Beaton tells them he has a mark on his shin! Least said about the Gordon red card the better. Totally pointless exercise now as they are just using the review to justify decisions and save face, rather than admit mistakes and actually improve the standard of officiating.

Absolutely fascinating podcast! Stuart is a wealth of information on the rich history of our club and love the enthusiasm that both he and Nick have for The Trust. Really looking forward to seeing the improvements around the stadium and hopefully, at some point, a museum!

And was pilloried for it by sections of our media! Precious wee darlings! 😍😍😍

Purely going on what Jens said yesterday. They will NOT all be sold at the same time, as we want to maintain the integrity of the playing squad. Makes sense. We are not just a money making machine. We are here to win football games. We cant stand in any individual players way indefinitely, but if for example good offers come in for Maswanhise and one other, I can see us asking other players to be patient with us. I wouldnt be too worried if Watt or Fadinger had to move on as the replacement is in the building, but I wouldnt be keen to let both move until further replacements had been sourced. I think thats where we can be cute and time it to our advantage. I dont see any last minute deals being done at the end of transfer windows without the ability to replace an outgoing player. Just will be the problem. Where do you find a replacement for him?

I think Maswanhise will be sold. Welsh will go back to Celtic and be sold or put out on loan again. If we could get him back without breaking the bank great, but more likely we are looking at another player we can develop/sell on. Of those OOC. Gordon, Halliday, Robinson, Nicholson I would let go. Koutroumbis and Slattery Id offer new deals, albeit Slattery will probably move on. Just, Watt & Fadinger will all attract attention, so good to hear Jens say, they wont all be sold at the same time. I think there has probably been a conversation with JT assuring him that we wont step in his way in the summer. The rest will depend on the bids received. But we are undoubtedly in the driving seat. Particularly if we get a good fee for JT. Looking forward to a positive window with a net gain in cash and squad depth.

Gonna be really interesting to see how Jens approaches this one. Obviously we have issues at full back with Longelo suspended and Koutroumbis injured. I do wonder if we might go 3 at the back again with Sparrow and Luca Ross as wing backs? Or will we see McGhee get a start? If we go with wing backs do we play Eythor and get crosses into the box and give Hibs something different to think about? Good to hear Just is fit and should start. Slattery has looked good the last few weeks so probably Said to drop out if we need to shake up the midfield. Over to you Jens!

Really loving the Jens interviews. Our players will be sold, because thats our model. But they will be sold for a fee that we believe benefits the club AND most importantly, they wont all be sold at the one time. Basically, no chance of a wholesale clearout in the close season. Top man.

I agree. Its about the same as we would need to do to pip Hearts for the title and everyone pretty much accepts thats not happening!

If Celtic win the Cup it goes to 5th in the League. Any other Cup Winner and 5th misses out....
