Hoilett on the toilet then. 😂

There was a short-lived Viz character called Tarquin Hoylet - He has to go to the Toilet.

Someone's in grave danger, Tarquin comes to the rescue, but then he has to go to the toilet, and the person dies. It was great.

Can I just clarify the situation regarding that game (apologies if this has been clarified elsewhere).

If we lose, we drop down and have another difficult game against a strong team that sees us knocked out of Europe. If we win, we get a tough team and if we lose that we drop down into the Conference group stages.

If we win both we're in the group stages of the Europa League albeit this is highly unlikely.

Do I have that right?




Reason I'm asking this here is that this may shape our transfer desperation/ urgency. It would be great to have a good side ready to face the Danes but is that really going to be practical if neither Triantis or Rocky sign up with us again?

Do we prefer getting optimal business done later in the window or do we "make do" earlier in order to have the best possible chance of European progression, albeit that may end up being kiboshed very early indeed with a familiarly stinking July European result.

We’re currently in the second round (QR2). If we win we go to Europa QR3, lose and we got to conference league QR3

If we win Europa QR3 we move to the Europa play offs, lose and we go to the conference league play offs . Win and we move to the Europa play offs ( where we would have automatically have been if Celtic won the cup).

Win the play off and we have europa league group stage football, lose the play off and we have group stage football in the conference league.

If we lose any europa game out with the play off, we automatically drop into the next round of the conference league and would need to win all rounds including the play off tie for group stage football.

The fear of signing Rowan Vine should not be the reason we don’t sign a striker in time for Europe. Hopefully we have targets lined up and you should really apologise for reminding us about Rowan Vine. 😩😂

Could be worse, I could be reminding you about Martin Scott and Paul Cairney.

I really liked the look of Martin Scott - he looked the main part of that Ross County team that was well the better side in the first cup game, and then obviously pumped us out in the replay.

His only redeeming feature for Hibs was probably headless chicken energy. Absolutely pants as a footballer for us.

Martin Scott! I have two memories of his play at Easter Road.

Taking a quick free kick close to the centre circle and spraying the ball out to a player running down the West Stand touchline, only for the ball to land top row of the bottom tier.

And sliding in trying to stop the ball going out for an opposition throw-in close to the centre line, only for him to concede a corner instead.

Dundee have posted their squad numbers today, they have listed 17 players and 3 of them are goalkeepers.

Threw money at it last season to be down near the bottom, cuts had to come.

Why do I have a vague memory of Cairney scoring a worldie? Am I imagining that?

Martin Scott scored a thirty yard screamer in Ian Murray’s testimonial.

Not a bloody hope in hell of qualifying for group stages of either competition, sadly.

Thought the boy was going to be a player and was hoping we could sign him permanently 😅 think he was on loan from Coventry and Strachan was the manager there.

That was Gary Deegan. They were very similar though.

Last season I thought Queen’s Park hadn’t a bloody hope in hell of beating Sevco at ibrox and Plymouth , Liverpool . Never say never .

[04Sauzee]

Was this boy not another player Aberdeen were meant to have beaten Hibs to sign??

Aberdeen have told winger Vicente Besuijen he is free to find another club during the summer transfer window.

The Dons paid around £400,000 to sign Besuijen from Dutch club ADO Den Haag in January 2022.

Besuijen arrived at Pittodrie on a four-and-a-half year deal and is still contracted to Aberdeen until summer 2026.

The winger missed the second half of the recently completed campaign due to a knee injury suffered in December that required surgery.

Prior to the injury he started only one game in boss Jimmy Thelin’s debut season at Pittodrie, with 13 appearances off the bench.

Ridiculous. Either extreme pessimism or complete lack of football knowledge.

How do you explain the Welsh team TNS qualifying last season. Won at least 2 qualifiers. Shamrock?

Did they not come from Champions League qualifiers though?

More competitions to fall back on than us, plus they would have been parachuted into ties a lot more winnable than me have.

We're going to need some great results to achieve group football, I don't think anyone can dispute that. We CAN do it though.

TNS is completely different

They qualified for the champions league qualifiers

Lost their game, went to the Europa and then lost that. They then got a team called Panevėžys from Lithuania in the conference league play off which they won

The coefficient worked for them along with a bit of luck, not them being a brilliant team or causing upsets
