3-1 Livi

Jack Hamilton.

How is it that both times this tiny franchise club have been promoted they've managed to put in a challenge to us in the league?

They're the only professional club in Lothian bar us and Hearts. We should be eclipsing them.

This season, it seems to be careful building and good coaching. They're not spending money they can't afford on players this time around, and are a very well drilled team.

I believe they were about 12 points behind us too a few weeks ago. Shambles if they finish above us.

[erin go bragh]

Another win for Livi . Puts them 6 behind us , with a game in hand 🤨
Some run of wins since Holt left .

[The Harp Awakes]

2 mins injury time absolute joke

Officials at it again. The same thing happened in the Dundee United v Sevco game a few weeks back. United pushing for an equaliser and only 2 mins added on despite 5 subs.

[Jim44]

At the end, Gerrard elbow nudged one of the Aberdeen coaches then gave him a big close hug. What’s that all about. Social distancing, my erchie.

Not pissing ourselves about Livi :faf: It is still all in our hands and with a run like Livi have put together 3rd is not out of the question. Our form needs to improve drastically and the awful performances in the last two games have us looking over our shoulder instead of up the league. A few signings, a league win or two and a semi final win and things will start to look much brighter

I think that managers will be looking at negating Martindales tactics now. He is a good manager, but I dont think he has enough depth in his squad to change it around much during the matches.

I think that Robinson has now scored in 3 out of the last 4 matches by running on to a ball played in behind opposition CHs.

Next time we play then there is no way we leave as many gaps in midfield.

I suspect their run will slow down shortly.

Chorley v Wolves in the FA Cup 4th round.

Few people outside of Chorley and Wolverhampton know the significance of this tie, but in 1986 Wolverhampton Wanderers lost 3-0 away to Chorley in the FA Cup (was there as a young child with my father) and it represented a nadir in the fall from grace of Wolverhampton Wanderers at the time.

The mere mention of Chorley to any Wolves fan since then has been frowned upon.

It was the most famous result in Chorley's history, and there was an almost inevitability this would be the draw.

Nah, despite what Neville was going on about he does touch the ball first.

Odd one for VAR though. They only looked at it to check whether anything stopped the red at the other end then Shaw ends up with a yellow. Didn’t think VAR would judge on yellows and it wasn’t being checked for a red initially.

Going back 90 yards doesn’t sit well with me, if it wasn’t a red it shouldn’t have mattered. Every single decision has a knock on effect to the rest of the game so we’d be as well doing away with the ref and VAR checking the lot.

One in the Newcastle game when the player was 5 yards offside and the Lino never flagged until after the chance was gone was ridiculous, just a waste of time.

Sir Alex was still in charge and United were champions.

[jacomo]

Same every time with Steve Bruce.

He normally gets results early on but at heart he’s a deeply defensive manager, he just can’t let his players go and play.

Good point made by Alex Scott on motm recently - they’ve got decent wingers and decent centre forwards but they don’t get the ball in the box enough.

[Magpie]

I’m sure Sir Alex has thrown away the title with a 7 point lead in April. I don’t think a manager who has pretty much bottled each big game he’s had will lead them to a title.

Liverpool game will set the tone.

Against the guidance of course but I think when they are getting tested all the time and the players on the pitch are all mixing a few seconds between the managers is unlikely to be an issue.

The tracing exposure is based on what, 15 minutes?

No idea. How close was he to anyone?

I just don’t think any of us are perfect with this thing. It’s not how we’ve lived our lives up to now. Getting all forensic over seeing people interact on a screen is a bit harsh. As I said they will feel as though they are in as safe a place as they can be as they’ve all been tested and it isn’t easy for anyone.

[JimBHibees]

Not much of one since they've now got back to back games against Celtc on Saturday and Wednesday.

You have to feel for Aberdeen - to have travelled all that distance for it to be called off at the last minute. Player safety etc but they'll be scunnered.

That will be twice they will have travelled for nothing. Shame. :greengrin

More dropped points for Spurs. Did Kane and Son start to the season mask the fact it’s a decent Spurs side but out with those two nothing special. Or is it just a strange season and you can go from title contenders to top 4 battle, and maybe back again, all in the space of a month or two.

Funny to think that if Arsenal were to win tomorrow night there’s only 4 points between them when the talk has been about Arsenals relegation battle and Spurs’ title challenge.

[Scott Allan Key]

Absolute joke. What was the point in McInnes doing that?

This season has been very up and down for pretty much everyone. If Spurs beat Sheffield Utd and Liverpool beat United on Sunday they are only 3 points off top.

There could be only 4 points separating 1st and 7th come the end of the weekend.

I think we will have a better idea of who’s going to be in the title race come the international break in March. I’m sticking with Man City.

How has Aubameyang gone so off the boil this season? 3 goals (1 penalty) and 1 assist in 15 PL appearances. I haven’t seen many Arsenal games, is it a lack of creativity for him, is he being played in the wrong position or has he just declined compared to previous seasons?

Has looked a shadow of himself and the form he showed near end of last season. Arsenal aren't the most creative team either however he has been pretty poor.

Footy fix tonight

Morton v Dunfermline on BBC Scotland 7.45

Or if you're interested in something a little more exotic :wink:

Sporting v Rio Ave at 6.30 on freesports
Porto v Benfica at 9.00 also on freesports (Sky ch 422)

Sporting currently 4 points clear in Portugal from both Porto and Benfica, they havent won the Portuguese league for nearly 20 years.

[Willis1875]

Sporting were a mess couple years back weren’t they?Something about huge falls outs with the president and players walking away from contracts

[Lancs Harp]

Yes thats correct Sporting amassed huge debts, stadium renovation and new training facility cost way more than they originally anticipated and court actions were certainly threatened (not sure if they ever actually made it to court). I'm a Benfica man (my team in Europe if you like) but its good to see Sporting challenging again, Benfica have been the only show in town as far as Lisbon is concerned for quite some time now as far as honours and successes are concerned.

Traditionally in Portugal it was all about Benfica and Sporting, Porto's success is relatively new in the context of historical championships. Up until 1980 Benfica had won the league 23 times, Sporting 15 times and Porto 7 times. Fast forward to today and Benfica have 37 titles, Porto 29 and Sporting 18 and as I posted in an earlier post Sporting haven't won the league since 2002. One of the few successful seasons Sporting had post 1980 was under Malcolm Allison in the early 80s when he led them to a league and cup double.

Only 5 teams have ever won the Portuguese league, the other two Clubs with a win each being Boavista (who are a club based in Porto and are currently in the relegation zone) and Belenenses who we once knocked out of the European Fairs Cup in the early 60s (we crashed and burned against Red Star Belgrade in the following round) Belenenses are a Lisbon based Club, a sort of Partick Thistle stuck between the might of Benfica and Sporting as the Jaggies are with Celtic and Rangers.

Seemed to play in fits and starts last night. Looks like he needs a goal or two, unlucky with a drive first half but then disappeared for a while. He seems fit enough. The Gunners need him back on form as they were punchless last night, Palace looked the likelier.

If he can get back to the same form as previous seasons they will push on for a Europa League place. Will be a lot tougher if he keeps up his current form.

Could be tough regardless with the amount of teams in the mix. At least they’re not doomed to relegation :greengrin and they always have the annual FA cup win to see them into Europe.

Smith Rowe and Saka have both been very impressive for Arsenal in recent weeks. I dont think the Gunners will find the consistency they need to make a European place this season and there's a lot of competition for those European places in the EPL this year. Tierneys having a cracking season too.

It seems to have been Tierney and Saka carrying that team. I had them finishing in the top three this season looking at how Arteta had them playing end of last season. I didnt see it coming at all. Isnt Tierney now out with a bad injury?

This Morton game is like a glorified pub game. No wonder Hearts are top of this league (though still lost 2 games ! Haha!).

Stadium definitely still has character to it.

Murray has fine ok since he’s been on - feel like he still has something to offer at Hibs but probably not a starting player still could be a decent option off bench as he’s pretty creative and has a good set piece delivery.

[EI255]

Much as though I'd like to see Dunfermline win promotion, they just don't look like a Premier side. If Hearts fail to win the League this season it will be a monumental fk up!

Porto 1 Benfica 1

Totally biased I know but thought Benfica had much the better of that. Porto survived well with 10 men for the last 20 minutes. Sporting dropped a clanger drawing at home to Rio Ave earlier but got away with it with Porto and Benfica drawing. Sporting still 4 points clear at the top!!

Just watching the last 10 mins of Wolves v WBA, jeez 2 pretty poor teams and their records this season show that, WBA look scared to attack trying so hard to keep their shape which is understandable.

[easty]

Great strength from the young lad up front for Wolves for the equaliser

[easty]

2-1 Wolves. Deserved.

Defending from West Brom was horrendous

[Halmyre Hibee]

The Hibs defence is better than West Broms.

[easty]

2-2

Good header, but Wolves should be well clear of them here. Poor points dropped if they can’t find a winner.

[easty]

3-2 to West Brom. Their second pen of the game.

Pretty good game to watch really.

Definitely a better 2nd half but both teams not great.

Wolves are a potentialy decent side, they’re really missing Jiminez though. Relying on a fairly isolated, and fairly lightweight,18 year old up front at this level isn’t ideal. He’s a good player, but he could do with one of the 3 centre mids getting forward to help him out a bit.

I'm assuming the 10 days quarantine on all arrivals from Dubai backdated to 3rd January doesn't apply to them then due to the elite athlete exemption?

If it did then I thought they may have all been in isolation for another day or two.
