Yaaaaaassss

Fully intended to go to this, but because of weather/transport etc and the fact it started snowing at mine again, made late call just to watch it on tv. No idea how this will go. Definitely winnable but Hearts do appear defensively solid. We obviously negotiated Aberdeen and Rangers in the LC which were both touh tasks, so who knows. Another wee trip to Hampden would be nice.

Looks as if it goes ahead, its against the club's reccomendation going by Alan Burrows' tweets. Surely just formalising things now with SPFL/TV etc to call it off.

He was a Rangers fan if I remember correctly from growing up. Ian St John is a Well fan is he not?

With Hearts dropping points, a win takes us within 3 of them. They're away to Rangers next week and us to Dundee.

The more pertinent equivalent was Partick's pen v Celtic not so long ago.No red card, despite a clear pull, which is one of the exact definitions of a red in that scenario. (For the ref) To call Kipré's a 'pull' was tenuous at best.

Fuck that. I want them in the final, with us either hammering them or winning with a last minute dodgy penalty! Justice!

I'd take Celtic at home. If we're going to have to beat them, the best chance is early(ish) rounds at home

In pub with my bro in Law and this is verbatim what I said. As an aside, would be good to see St Mirren and Morton both promoted, but seating rules would probably kill Cappielow.

I always thought he was harshly treated by the fans. Unglamourous role, but you need players like that. Am I imagining that there was an actual 'Blame it on Fitzpatrick' 'He just cant control the ball' song? Certain there was the same song for Broadfoot though

It doesnt necessarily mean you're dirtier, just that you are penalised more. Not entirely mutually exclusive, particularly against the OF, as alluded to above.

That was my immediate thought.Caught on the ball way too often.

We started to look more encouraging when Frear came on and used a bit of width. Going long was causing Ciftci to be offside countless times. Thistle's goal was ludicrous defending. Not a player within 5 yards of Doolan. As free a header as you'll get. McHugh is painfully slow on the ball.

If Aldred is fit he's got to be in there. If we're going back 3 Kipre/Hartley/Aldred would be what I would look to. Happy with Main and Cifci up top and play Tanner in behind. Main certainly seems to give the team more legs. Against Accies he was all over the pitch. Defending our box one min, the next charging up front. Seems a decent out ball, as well as being able to hit the net.

Disappointing the striker fell through. Main seems to be able to hit the net, Ciftci should hopefully come on to a game and Bowman done well early part of season. So would be good to get supply back fit(Cadden and Frear). Would all allow Tanner to play the 'Trequartista' role again. Not overly concerned, as keeper and back line, on paper anyway,looks good enough.

Just been confirmed that it fell through after paperwork was signed due delivering club having 'the rug pulled from under them'.

Yasssss Main

Got a stream (VIPBox) just in time to see them score.

Domonic Thomas back on loan to QOS

Celtic are entitled to offer what they like, but theyv'e just paid £1m to loan a Chelsea reserve and are apparently looking for £30m for Dembele, who has been out of favour. Supply and demand. We'll have our price, but he's a key asset and in this case its a seller's market for us for once. Particularly given we've already generated a fair bit of transfer revenue recently. I'd imagine they'd have to offer at least 3x to get near an agreement.

Likewise Ian Black (except the moving from us part).Top flight stalwart to absolute non-entity.

3 games unbeaten then and indeed unbeaten in 2018. What was the panic all about?

FHW Is that still a thing?

Job done. In Robbo we trust. 1st team in 9 games to score against them.
