Assuming we win our game in hand (and Celtic do as well)

We are 5 points behind Rangers and 7 behind Celtic and Hearts.

We have Hearts and Celtic to play twice and Rangers once.  

Uglies have to play each other twice and Hearts once so points there to be dropped

We are genuinely (albeit an outside chance) title contenders!   If we keep the run going we have had since October, no reason why we cannot be there or there abouts

I can 100% guarantee that if we win the rest of our games, we will secure a double. 

We won't do that, but the fact that we're seriously in the picture at this point of the season is plain silly, and out of the 4 teams in it, we have the least pressure.

and the best team , we are better than the other three, no one will convince me otherwise.

Just watched Peter Leven’s post match interview. Aberdeen should have had 3 points today….. wow, that’s a poor take Peter lol

BBC Sportsound were also distinctly unhappy with the result. They went to great lengths to emphasise that Jordan McGhee didn't score as it was an OG. No doubt thery're right but they didn't need to go an and on about it. Did it matter? They also suggested that Just's goals should have been chalked off for handball - even Peter Leven didn't bring that up.

Crazily even that might not be enough. If we do win every game and Hearts win every game (except the 6 points they drop off us) they would still win the league.

It is a totally hypothetical situation but it does illustrate the incredible consistency required to win a championship.

A strange game that could have ended 7-3 or thereabouts to us. We deserved to win but made it awfully hard for ourselves. We should have had the game sewn up by half time were it not for some incredible misses. Aberdeen weren't bad themselves and could have scored 2 or 3 were it not for some bad luck striking woodwork etc. Not our best performance it has to be said. A Jordan McGhee assisted OG saved some last minute nail biting. We looked a bit jaded and defensively weren't as secure as normal, although we achieved another incredible clean sheet. Maybe we missed Fadinger's presnce in the middle?

Like Rangers before them, Aberdeen were cynical, picking up 6 yellow cards which should have been even more.  Perahps a back handed compliment to us. Quite why 2 defenders weren't yellow carded for blatantly hauling down Said is beyond me.  Someone was also very very fortunate not to be red carded for a deliberate elbow on Paul McGinn. David Dickionson was in charge and he let his assistants know it.

Still another win and clean sheet. Top six is becoming increasingly likely. Happy days indeed.

I am finding it interesting just how quickly I am becoming greedy for success 

At 1-0 HT today, I was dissatisfied that it was not a more comfortable 2-0, 3-0 so that we could start resting players for midweek.

As the weeks pass, 4th place is becoming slightly mundane with the dream of top three within touching distance.

I suppose it is that kind of inability to be truly satisfied that took man to the moon.

I fear that I am developing the mentality of an OF fan. A severe dose of entitlement. They must have medicine for that type of horrendous affliction? 

It really is dreamland at the moment.

The defenders grabbed an arm each with Said! Couldbt believe they didnt get carded.

Dickinson is no Bargain. But henis a bit of a Hunt!
