He was spot on. Out of touch, off the pace and living in the past. Sums up Hibs nicely.

I don't see West Central Scotland will be much different whether Government be devolved or independent. I doubt Dave or Gideon give a shiney shight about Scotland in whole or part. And I would expect PS to react in their usual diplomatic way. Anyhow, given none of our defence have been even questioned after various comic episodes, I have no faith in the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act.

Apparently they are currently trying to raise funds for a pot to p!$$ in!

I struggle to see how a yes vote concentrates this bell-endery. These - and I hesitate to use the word - people will return from whichever community they crawled and come out again as and when the ugly sisters clash whether it is the 17th of March, the 12th of July or the 19th of September. Actually, in the case of a yes vote could we not just deport the feckers to whichever version of Ireland they profess to love?

What about Pam

They won't say in public. The first hint you will get that they are not happy is giving Yogi his P45 The first hint's usually a resounding 'vote of confidence' is it not? That's more of a media thing. They ask if a manager is for the hook, the board say no, they are happy with the manager. The vote of confidence is a sign that others are not happy. The bullet is a sign the board ain't happy. And a media circus is a hint that Vincent Tan isn't happy.

We may have had an excellent game plan, but we clearly didn't execute it very well. Unless everybody had 6-0 on their coupon...

Did he sash-ay back on?

Prefer the thicker stripes myself, but something like that would be good. Daft shape on the back is so that numbers are easier to see, so you are unlikely to get that removed.

Thought we looked much more dangerous when Christie replaced Vincent - we started attacking with more pace, and being more direct seemed to cause Aberdeen some problems. Watched the highlights, and part of me wishes Marley had gone down when Anderson had a tug at his jersey in the opening minute. Pretty sure we would have beaten 10 sheep men, and would have loved to see MacInnes self combust. Is it compulsory for football managers called Derek to be a loathsome tool?

Was yesterday not c*unty's wear navy blue day? Did that memo not get to the players? White shirts. Just like the flag they will be waving as they slip back where they belong. At least Hamill and Adams will be able to renew acquaintances next season.

Because if England ever needs an enema, Hull is where they will stick the tubing.

A refreshing improvement in quality, tbh.

Yes, there is a strong belief that people would rather cycle than go to our games, thanks to the merger.

They had enough on with ICT beating everything on the park, without us beating everything off the pitch too.

Who should be relegated ? Hibs, for historical reasons. Who will it be ? St Mirren or Partick because they are pure gash, However, if bottle becomes a factor, there may be Embra derbies next season. If it was up to you ? Celtic, just to make it a competitive league. If forced to be realistic, Hibs as per point 1. Who should be promoted ? Queen of the South, many happy memories. Who will it be ? Dungee or Hamilton If I was up to you ? Queens, all day long.

He was a definite no to maybe when I seen him last saturday. That's fine, I'm washing my hair anyway. What are you doing for the other 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds of Friday?

That's not what he said.

But it gets so ponderous that the only option is to pass back. If, at best, all the keeper is going to do is hoof it, why doesn't one of the defenders hoof it before we get into bomb-scare back-pass territory? Everyone know that we are going to tippy-tap it about at the back, so they press the ball, which creates pressure, forces the back-pass and an opportunity to charge it down. If you want to pass it about, do it 50 yards further up the pitch, and preferably not when you are the furthest man back.

While individual errors can be attributed to players, what doesn't help is a style of play that attracts pressure. Brill's kicking may not be great, but when he gets the ball and an opposing forward at pretty much the same time, things are going to go wrong. If I can see that insisting we play in a particular way is leading to unfortunate consequences, is it too much to expect our management team, who should know what they are doing, to notice and act accordingly?

A statistic particularly important in Aberdeen.

The idea behind the passing game is that you retain possession. If your opponents don't have the ball, they can't score. Unfortunately, now that everyone knows we play like this, they press the ball, and we start passing backwards to retain possession. This ultimately leads to a back-pass, which then leads to a big hoof up the park. The added excitement is that we have a habit of either messing up the back-pass, allowing an opponent a 1 on 1 with the keeper, or take so long to pass it back that the opposition can close the keeper down leading to the comedic series of goals we have conceded. So, given that the keeper just hoofs the back-pass upfield, why don't we get the centre backs to do that instead?

Eh? So what you are in essence saying is that Dingwall is narrower, unless it isn't.

Am I alone in thinking that the 'Professional' part of SPFL is ironic?
