Fair play to Aberdeen, manager has come in and got them playing very effectively with a great team spirit. Be very surprised if they don’t get 3rd.

They had the advantage over us that nobody was giving it large with the 'it takes 3 or 4 windows' nonsense

Maybe it didn’t with the Aberdeen squad. Maybe, just maybe, Aberdeen were not in the exact same situation we were in.

Aberdeen 19 points ahead of Hearts - 6 win swing of games.

It makes things worse for Hibs that Aberdeen have improved so much and Hearts are having a shocker of a start but we are only 3 points ahead and could be on equal points and or below them after the derby.

Surely that’s a retrospective red? Or do they happen as VAR makes no
mistakes of course.

They’ll discuss it in full looking at every angle on Sportscence this evening!

Yes, but it doesn't need to be that way. We're capable of beating Dundee Utd on their own patch and certainly capable of beating Hearts at ER. But the club needs to focus on our game management skills. Quality of chances matter more than quantity of chances and the way we see games out when we have the upper hand is also pivotal. If we can get it right, we can take all 3 points from Dundee Utd which would give us a significant lift for the derby.

It’s not just Aberdeen though. Dundee Utd were a championship team last season, currently they are 5th, a point off 3rd and 7 points above us. Or Motherwell. Currently joint 3rd and 8 points above us having finished below us last season. We seem to make harder work of building and rebuilding squads than other clubs do.

They have a decent chance of getting second. Sevco are very poor.

Possible but unlikely.

Well done to them today tho.

Let’s see where we are at the end of the season. That is the telling time after all.

Seville derby just kicked off. One of the most chaotic derbies on the planet normally.

The characters running our club have talked themselves into believing amongst themselves that success and improvement like those you mention can only be achieved over however much time they need to buy to save their own skins.

We probably can't act in the time frame others have because we have blown so much money already and have created a bit of inertia as the squad now stands because of the length of some of the contracts we have handed out.

The only thing we do with any urgency is sack managers and marketing to fans.

It is indeed.

I've followed Betis for around 30 years. There is a very good book on their rivalry 'The Frying Pan of Spain'.

One time the Sevilla manager (Juande Ramos) had a bottle of wine thrown over his head at a game. The bottle was frozen as well.

This one tame so far.

Aberdeen's turnaround has been especially rapid (although they did finish last season quite strongly despite bring bottom six). 13 straight wins is impressive. United look uo have come back better prepared this time round.

Didn’t know that. Why is it so fierce?

Our biggest problem is we, generally, swap one lot of dross for another.

The other is our over reliance upon the loan market as a short-term fix to bail us out of a hole.

Aye but are they sheite to watch, or foul players when they are breaking and strangling the life out of games, if so we want none of that pish at Easter Rd.

For 13 wins in a row? I’d take that.

Or nine points above them
