All I kept hearing was Jambos were gonna split the old firm & the new central/south Americans were going to tear up the SPL... How's that working out 😂

Stick on for 3rd apparently 😂

At the moment clearly they cannot cope with 2 games in a week.

[Glory Lurker]

One European game in. If this is the squad that was designed to manage the impact of the midweeks, then it's going to be a lot of fun!

Both of them on the same coaching course

The first derby will be the job decider.

[wookie70]

Great win for the Steel men. Amazing what a team playing as a team with total commitment can manage. We are miles away from that level of energy and effort

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Another dent in their title challenge!

[A Hi-Bee]

Hows the gorgie gimps doing?

Joelinton would’ve been sent off for that in rugby. Very poor decision from ref. And I didn’t see that much wrong with the goal either. Looked shoulder not arm

Two shocking decisions

They do have a pretty experienced manager and have recruited well in the past few years, ah well **** them as well.

Ah dunno. Ainslie Park’s finest have a decent wee cup run going…

[1875M]

Aberdeen look decent. Clear style of play, as well as good recruitment. 3rd for them this season I think.

[Iain G]

Goal score for hearts, I did...

They have only played 1 European game so far. If that’s going to be an issue for them then the worst is still to come 🤞🏻

[Tom Hart RIP]

Watched Motherwell v Hearts earlier.
I thought Motherwell were excellent and played exactly like I'd like to see Hibs play against them.
Right from the start they pressed the Hearts players and fought for every ball.
If it wasn't for Craig Gordon it could have been six or seven.
First time I'd seen Zach Robinson who never gave their defence a second's peace.
I didn't realise Lennon Miller had just turned 18 today. He looks a player.
And Paul McGinn has a new lease of life.

Killie really struggling with the European and league games it seems. Happens to every Scottish team. We toiled with it last season.

We just toiled

One fan needing 3-0 for a million on the super 6 score predictor, TBF should be more than 2, Liverpool very strong at home.

1 win 9 I think . 9 goals against and none scored for McInnes team , shades of his last few months at Aberdeen so far there .

Hopefully their bad run will make it cheaper for us to get him in a few weeks.

While I've never been convinced that playing two games a week should be an insurmountable burden for footballers, the fact the European qualifiers come so early may, I concede, mske the switch in styles tricky to manage.

Personally I'd scrap the Euro spot for fifth place, possibly even fourth. I think the biggest challenge our teams face is not the number of games but that they're just not good enough. If we're being honest nobody thinks that 5th-placed season under LJ merited a European spot.

He'll turn things around quickly enough, particularly when they're out of Europe. We should have pushed the boat out for him long before now.

Scrap the places and give them to who? Or are you suggesting we just don't take them up?

I think the travel is often forgotten about as well. 2 games a week when you’re only travelling a couple of hours by coach is completely different to airports, flying for (potentially) several hours, strange locations/food, possibly a few timezones of a difference, then repeating that journey in reverse to immediately prepare for a domestic fixture must take its toll, as I’m sure it did for Hibs last year. I also doubt that non OF teams are flying in first class, luxury hotels etc either.


For some reason there is also some kind of psychological barrier that playing Thursday/Sunday is a tougher turnaround that wed/sat. It can certainly put pressure on the European team if their competitors are consistently turning out decent results on a Saturday that they’re trying to match or better on a Sunday.
