Just looked at stats for Aberdeen v Celtic game. Aberdeen had 2 shots at home versus 33 for Celtic. 33 jeez.
Aberdeen must have been terrible and Celtic's conversion rate was worse than ours.

No Delferriere for FC. Brydon and Johnson on bench
A proven championship goalscorer ?Quote:

How many years ago now was it we signed Nisbet? Should we just stop signing proven players cos we signed him about 3 years ago?Quote:

They sign the right players in key positions. We don’t because a) we don’t spend even a tenth out compared to what we bring in and b) it’s becoming increasingly apparent we’re ran as some kind of experimental football club based on some sort of draft system of bringing in rookies that no one has ever heard of in the hope that one of them comes good and will be sold on for big bucks thus proving the transfer “policy” is right all along.
What are you on about ? Where did I suggest we stop signing proven goalscorers ? 🤣Quote:

Hearts will go on to piss 3rd. Coining it in from Europe again next season.
Looks like there is?Quote:

He's only had one good season with us though....before he got injured last season he was dugmeat, hopefully this is the start of a fresh new Nisbet that puts the ball in the net more often.Quote:

FC Edinburgh 1 Montrose 1... huddies
more Thrills at Firhill
Partick Thistle 3 Ayr 2
straight red for Ross co, still 1-0 ahead and just two points behind us at the mo
VAR proves halliday a diving cheat

In reference to Shankland and another pop at the club, surprise.Quote:

Lucky b@rstewards. Gutted we missed out on this by a year and in the mean time have put ourselves so far out of contention for europe for the foreseeable futureQuote:

Watching Hearts there is nothing special there but stuff that makes a real difference.
Defenders take one or two touches before getting it forward.
Enables the forwards to get the ball early and in space.
Quality in the final third.
Play at an intensity with overlapping runs and runs beyond the striker.
Hard workers in there team who are street smart.
It really is the basics of Scottish football
Fontaine scores for Edinburgh
Unlucky, but its difficult to keep yourselves in 3rd season after season.Quote:

Agree it’s not easy which is why it is rarely done but the money hearts are making from Europe will only help them solidify 3rd for a little while. We don’t even come close season after 3rd. We fall off a cliffQuote:

With St Johnstone winning it gives us quite a bit of breathing space towards the bottom of the league but puts us in a bit of bother in trying to get back into contention for a European place.
In the nicest possible way and without trying to be negative, I don't think we'll be looking at qualifying for Europe this season or possibly next.Quote:

Unless some key signing s are made in the January window I think it’s clear a European spot is beyond this teamQuote:

We need to start winning games, simple as that really. Beginning with Livingston next week.

It’s going to take until at least the end of the summer window to get fairy decent squad we can build on.Quote:

A lot of the things would have to change Jim to convince me that Europe is realistic, we've lost Boyle and could be on the verge of losing Porteous, we would have to rely on the fitness of Nisbet Magennis and McGeady and a return to form of the likes of Henderson,Hanlon and Doyle-Hayes plus some decent recruitment's in January, it's not impossible but highly unlikely in my opinion.Quote:

VAR checks still taking an age. Was clear as day from one replay it didn’t come off his hand so what’s taking them so long
Be even more jarring after the fairly swift WC callsQuote:

Bad miss that by Ramadani.
Must be nice though to have central midfielders who bust a gut to threaten in the opposition box.
We were much better in the first half at Pittodrie than The Rangers have been here. Aberdeen unfortunate to be behind.
An awful game of football.
A bit ***** we missed out on mcrorie that time
