Ridiculous time from those boys! What I also couldn’t get my head around was the 2:45 pacer running with that huge flag sticking out his back, handing out gels and water to people around him. Incredible.

Congratulations, Stu! Brilliant achievement. I ran 2:45:34 which I'm chuffed with, 13 minute PB. I thought it was a great event/course, definitely recommend if anyone is planning any for next Spring.

Utterly turgid stuff other than a decent spell from Hibs midway through the half.

Haha we'll see how it actually goes, I will be right at the back of the white pen following the 2:45 pacer. Yeah hopefully not, the wind the last couple of weeks up here has been atrocious. Ah well, good to get that out of the way! Get the feet up & enjoy the rest. Looking forward to hearing how you get on! All the best

I know how you feel, every tweak or niggle is a career ending injury in my head! I have a bit of a reduced fartlek today then a couple of short plods Fri/Sat then I'll be good to go. I'm in white. Just hoping the wind dies down a bit before then, looks like some pretty strong gusts that will be head on for the first half of the race.

Running Manchester marathon this weekend. I hate race week, my stomach flips every time I think about it! How are you feeling @Stu?

When Rangers were liquidated presumably. More a case of out of sight, out of mind.

While the 'chanting' doesn't seem to be on the same level from Celtic fans, their general behaviour is as bad, if not worse at Easter Road. Every single home match after they've visited Easter Road there are swathes of damaged seats taped off. I live pretty close to the stadium and the areas surrounding it are always in a far worse state after they've visited than any other support. You hear tales of stewarding and access issues in the away end after most of their visits but, once again, a lot of this has been brought upon themselves due to the doubling up at turnstiles. Delighted that the allocations have been cut for all of the reasons stated above & also, what a boost it must be for both sides seeing 4,000 of their lot filling that away end. I doubt results would be wildly different but can you imagine the lift opposing teams in Glasgow would get if there was a visibly large away support?

Couldn’t agree more with the sentiment of what you’ve said but the blame almost entirely lands at the feet of your club. They started the whole allocation cutting that’s commenced in recent years and the behaviour of your fans is the reason other clubs have followed suit. Hibs have a particular problem with missile throwing that’s probably worse than nearly every other club in Scotland but the club does a good job of banning these idiots and condoning the behaviour. Any racism and poor behaviour by Rangers fans at games is almost entirely lauded by their fellow supporters and the club rarely utters a word of condemnation for any of it. Hibs really had no choice here & I hope it doesn’t impact the derbies and I hope we sort our own house out before it does.

After looking like we finally had some depth we appear to be thin on the ground again. Potentially going to be without Boyle, Vente, Obita & Moriah Welsh. Looks like Miller was back in training this morning. I'd go: Marshall Miller Fish Rocky Stevenson Triantis Newell Emiliano Youan Le Fondre Maolida

Well of course, in hindsight you would take him off. He wasn't rank rotten either. One of his poorer games, no doubt about it but he had a shaky 5/10 mins when he gave the pen away in the first half. However, as I mentioned previously he's been our best player this season and we lose so much down the left hand side when Stevenson replaces him. I can't disagree with NM's subs being strange, at times but the one you've mentioned isn't one of those times. Emiliano was knackered when he came off against Hearts and with Levitt on in place of Moriah-Welsh meant Triantis was our option to bring balance back to the midfield 3. Is your inference that someone on the board would want us to substitute on a Sunderland loanee for a Bournemouth one? I thought the Hearts fans suggestion about the new investment was that we would HAVE to play Bournemouth players? Not sure you've thought that one through.

& the answer would be he's probably been our best player this season and the replacement would be a 400 year old Lewis Stevenson.

A wonderfully insightful response. Not the finished article but a young defender getting better with each passing week. What was it he did tonight that made you think he had a poor game?

What are you on about? He played very well this evening and has done since his return. Bizarre.

Subservient, racist, loyalist creeps

He truly is one unfortunate looking human being.

Supposedly a group of Marseille ultras were given tickets by 'Block 7' for the game last night so would make perfect sense for it to be one of them!

People that get hardons for bits of card getting held aloft are strange. Choreography made me laugh, too. Getting visions of fans in the east concourse getting berated through a megaphone by some sort of dance instructor.

It's funny, I don't actually think Boyle has ever been all that quick over a long distance, it's just his initial acceleration is quicker than most which is usually enough to take you away from players on a football pitch. He also had the issue of trying to control a bouncing ball last night while Devlin and whoever else it was were allowed to catch him up. Outside of that, it was his worst performance since returning from the Asia Cup.

Sadly I think he'll have his sights set on plying his trade at a higher level in the long term.

Shit tip isn't half accurate. That new stand leaking all over the fans in the bottom corner was hilarious viewing.

I wonder if it's at all possible to keep him and/or Maolida. Both are so technically superior to anything else in the league outside of the top 2.

Am I upset that Hibs are part of a group of clubs to have let this happen? Absolutely

Frustrating night. Obviously teams go through good and bad spells of form but based on the three games against us it truly beggars belief that Hearts are so far clear in third. They’re really not good with the exception of Kent and Shankland. Obita was his usual excellent self and Marcondes/Maolida were very good in spells. Boyle was awful. Rocky miles better than Fish. As others have mentioned, it mightn’t be great but it isn’t Aberdeen.

What an atrocious game of football. Saints are much better than this.
