I think Hibs are a better team, but Hears have been more difficult to beat on their home patch. Lennon has been bemoaning the fact they lack a cutting edge, so hope that continues in this game. For all that, I'd be quite happy with a point.

Nicky Law could have had a fine career if he had moved to a team better than us instead of dropping down to the lower Scottish leagues.

Complete debacle. And if the ref and linesman can't spot 6 players being offside they should be nowhere near the top flight.

Hibs seem to be struggling to take their chances. Hope they don't fix that until Saturday.

And Derek Johnstone for the Rangers games.

I can't believe he even asked for a review at the 3rd. In real time it never looked in doubt.

It's never been the same since we stopped calling them linesman.

I was thinking the exact same thing. As well as killing the flow of the game, there was nothing terrible about the 2 decisions that needed to be overturned. Even in games like American Football, the teams hated it so much the got rid of it for a while until they worked out a way to limit its use. And that's a game where breaks are more natural. This was shaping up to be a cracking game until WBA's 3rd goal was disallowed.

Exactly. And what do they do during the breaks? Go and play more games. I remember the year Dundee Utd played in the UEFA Cup Final. The final itself was something like the 63rd or 64th game their players had played that season. And that didn't include any international appearances.

The biggest losers here are the clubs in Ibiza. As for the players, maybe find a lower paid job where you can work from home.

Wishart is speaking for the PFA - so what he says is what his members ask him to say.

Would have been more entertaining to us (and Hibs) if it hadn't been over, but it looked to me liked to crossed the line.

Cheers. Looks like somebody emptied a bin bag on the pitch at half time.

Natural order being restored.

Footballing savant.

Maybe the gaffer got it right in not starting him.

Thanks to league construction the year we finished 9th in the 10 team SPL.

You must be too young to remember Tommy McLean. His first 4 or 5 years in the SPL involved parking the bus in the hope we'd sneak a 9th place finish and avoid relegation.

I don't know about Tanner, but Hartley is definitely not fit. Based on what Robinson said yesterday, it makes even more sense now that Aldred was brought in. If Tanner isn't fully fit, it makes sense to save him for Wed, when he can play a bit more football. If Tanner is fully fit, I'd definitely have started him - but it can't be a surprise to anyone now that Robinson likes to pick his 11 biggest men against teams like Accies and Hearts.

If we were setting up for a nil - nil, not sure we'd be playing 2 up top.

Either that, Dunne has crocked Tanner the same way he crocked Bowman.

Robinson said that Hartley wasn't fully fit and had an injury that was going to need to be managed all season. I'd prefer to see Tanner play (assuming he's not carrying a knock), but having watched Hearts last few games at Tynecastle, I can see why he might want to set up for a physical battle - at least for the first 45. It will be like playing Accies, except on terrible grass instead of terrible plastic.

Your loss. I just re-mortgaged my house.

From the comments Robinson made in his conference today, sounds like we are close to bringing in another new signing. No clues as to the position, though.

Unless he was asked just to give it his best shot when he wasn't quite ready for the step up. Then he did do everything that was asked of him.
