When he ditches him in Feb will he now say the next appointment will be the first that’s down to the super spreadsheet?
When you talk so much bull**** it eventually catches up on you…
Apparently they got "too emotional on the ball", whatever that means 🤣

Managers habitually bemoan referees not sending off opposition players or complain about having their own players sent off. If having 10 men or playing against 11 was really easier then they wouldn't do that, they'd welcome the referee's error if anything. Denying that having a man advantage isn't hugely beneficial is just a lie. If you can't exploit that advantage then that's on you but it's in no way, shape or form any kind of handicap.
I listened to his press conference post match and as ever he spoke very well. He also speaks well on VAR pointing out how Hearts had not received bookings for offenses his players had been booked for all year ultimately leading to reds. Also called out Hatate's challenge that wasn't red. He may be absolutely right about the inconsistency between referees but in my view it is far more the inconsistencies in the way referees treat different teams. Hibs players get book for anything that even resembles a booking. In the same game we watch The Rangers/ Celtc, Aberdeen and Hearts players get away with similar offences time after timeQuote:

Aww, were they all having a wee cry because the 10 man opposition wouldn't lie down and let them score. :boo hoo:Quote:

I notice the Maroon Balloons are now starting to call him Critchley instead of their traditional "Neil".Quote:

Many top quality options but according to McKinlay they didn’t negotiate with anyone other than Critchley even though there was a lot of talk about Hogmo who they couldn’t afford …..Quote:

Perhaps just meant a lack of what Archibald used to highlight whenever he analysed games, a lack of composure.Quote:

Trying not to watch his post match interview with green tinted specs. I thought it was shocking and looked lost
Critchley's record so far in league games is:
Played: 9
Won: 3
Drawn: 2
Lost: 5
For: 12
Against: 11
It's an improvement over Naismith but hardly the new manager bounce they were looking for - especially for a team that everyone, including most of this forum, had as nailed-on for third.
Love McInnes sometimes
This was the quote on beating Hearts with 10 men for 92 minutes of play:
"It's a brilliant day and victory and it's no more than we deserved. When you dress it down, it's just three points and three points we expected. But we've done it the hard way and some three points feel better than others, and because of the context it feels like a brilliant three points."
3+2+5= 10 not 9 have got a Euro result in there by accidentQuote:

It is apparently worth €1 million to them if they progress this evening, the first time a non-OF club have progressed in European group football.
They have 3 home games out of 4 in the league after this so unfortunately a lift this evening could see them in a bit of form before we go there. As dire as they have been the new manager has been able to pick up results at home.
Pivotal game in their season imo and one which could have a huge influence going into the upcoming derby.
