My memory isnt that good! Did stick in my mind though.

I know things are bad, but surely a trip to dignitas is taking it a bit far?

I remember a game against Killie at Love Street in the early 80's and the pitch was in some nick due to rain. Alex Beckett kicked a puddle into the face of a Killie player and got away with it.

I know you meant that as a compliment, but right now it doesnt sound like it.

Whats up with van veen? Looks like we dodged an expensive bullet there.

The Hibs statement would have carried more weight if some of their own fans hadnt behaved like bellends the last few weeks.

Morton goalie looks decent. Wonder if he'd fancy a move up the road to a big club?

The first friendly isnt till the 22nd, so should be fine for Killie.

I'd be very surprised if Knutsen leaves Bodo Glimt to join a smaller team.

I think Diarmuid's next move will be to become manager in his own right.

Presumably because Robbo would then be in the frame for the Northern Ireland job. If that did come to pass, i'd hope we could negotiate a deal where he doesnt leave till the end of the season.

Next week will undoubtedly be a very tough game. Our record at Rugby Park is pretty dismal, can't remember the last time we won there. I hope both of us qualify for Europe this season, as based on finance the bigger clubs should usually take the top 5 spots. Both of us have done well this season, due to stable and good management, plus Aberdeen being pish and Hibs having a defence that couldnt keep weans out a close.

Elvis has been a much better addition than what i thought he may have been judging by his CV.

I think now that Adams has left Ross County, the bampottery ratio of Scottish football managers has fallen dramatically. Come on Dave, get the deal done. Scottish football needs it.

I had high hopes for him, but only 1 goal during his loan spell and unable to get a start in a very poor United side makes me think he maybe wasnt quite good enough.

Scottish Cup results don't count in the league.

So, as already pointed out, we finished top 6 last year. We also finished above Aberdeen in 2022. You are having a 'mare.

And yet, with all these supposedly superior players, you are currently 15 (fifteen) points behind us.

We're really hoping for Celtic, Rangers, Hearts and Killie to win this weekend, as they are 4 of the top 5. I think the main threat to our European hopes is a resurgent Hibs, hopefully they can return to their clownshoes defending of a few weeks ago.

Do all your managers now need to be a bit gammony?

If i was an Aberdeen fan, i'd be particularly raging at the second goal. Aberdeen on the attack, Miovski loses possession cause he looks to be in a huff, and from there its a quick counter with no Aberdeen player trying to impact play. Easy cross, Mandron unmarked to nod it back and Toyosi free in the middle to score. We worked it well, but feck me, a bunch of traffic cones would have put up more resistance.

I think he claimed that the delay meant Richard Jensen, a professional footballer, was rendered unable to run for the last 5 minutes.

Looking at your squad i'd have thought you are more suited to a 4-4-2 with a diamond in midfield, means you could play your best midfielders and have Duk up top with Miovski, that would be your best chance today. Hope Warnock isnt reading this and he chooses some batshit crazy formation.

I thought it was a penalty too. Fish was clumsy and he did make contact with Vargas ankle, who then made a theatrical dive, but still enough contact for a penalty IMO.

It would have been better if Hibs lost, but overall good results for us. Killie are a good team, all the more remarkable given they have Liam Donnelly in that side. Fortunately, the cup draw kept the top 4 sides apart, so unless there are any shocks, 5th will be enough for Europe. Just hope Hibs return to their defensive comedy routines soon and dont finish ahead of us again.
