Must be a demand from the Tynecastle Board "can you play stoneage football? Y/N" -

I mean, great to be through to the final. But we were utterly boring. Only ones who got pass marks for me were Clarkson, Keskinen, Polvara and Gueye. Jensen got picked apart time and time again. Palaversa was absent. Morris tried his best, but got marked out of the game. Dabbagh's goal was a strikers-instinct goal, but he had some shocking moments when he came on. On the plus side, nice to see both Mitov and McGrath out there again. McGrath clearly not 100% yet, but his confidence grew with time on the field -

Fuck sake min. We are boring as fuck! Tidy strike from Dabbagh, but the amount of possession we've had, there should be daylight between the team score-wise. I still have an awful gut feeling Hearts are gonna win. Although we may finally see Devlin, thanks to Dorrington's dodgy hammy -
Melbourne City's draw means it could be a home title win for Auckland next week against Perth. What a maiden season!!

Dabbagh is gash. And we seem to want to walk it into position. Every time Hearts get it, you feel they could score. We are ridiculously pedestrian, and it's been like this long before Steinwender's red card. I dunno where the improvement will come from the bench either .... Devlin being the only change I can see that would improve things. Maybe Polvara to add a bit of beef in the midfield? -

Why? Why's he taken Keskinen off? He's been our only feed into the strikers. -

Palaverse for McGrath. Probably the right sub to make - Ante hasn't been able to control the midfield despite us being a man up -

Jensen is all over the place, the Jambos are bullying him at every opportunity. Get Devlin on for him asap. Difficult to see who would come off for McGrath at this stage though, as Gueye has been good so far. Nisbet has barely touched the ball, but he is a constant nuisance -

Aye, Heart by far the better team. Palaversa has been anonymous, Jensen is getting bullied by "their" Devlin, and Knoester has been miles off the pace. But with them down to 10 men, a chance for us to hit them with pace. Morris has shown glimpses. Keskinen was through, so the red-card was very much the right decision. And who knew Gueye had lightning pace?!!! I always thought he was just a giant lump! Second half will certainly be interesting -
So how does the promotion/relegation work? What if Brora beat a lowland side, ie Bonnyrigg in the play-offs? Does the Lowland League expand by 1 to accommodate Bonnyrigg ?

THE OFFICIAL: "LET'S ALL LAUGH AT HEARTS"
Reekie_Red replied to glasgow sheep's topic in Football Chat
I dont like Hibs. But I do enjoy it when they finish above the Jambos. They were only third biggest when Romanov fes them his crooked cash. In terms of hate, I rate them marginally below the Old Firm. -
Yep, my pal has just bought a firestick and it's now "with a guy" (nudge wink). Keen to see what quality is like, as I may follow that path. I can't be done with SPFL's continually suboptimal pisspoor efforts on YouTube anymore. Second half highlights of the County vs Dons game was literally one cross.

My Sunday morning tradition here in NZ is to watch Goal Rush on Sky. It's one of the previous day's 3pm games from either English Premier or the FA Cup. It has in-game updates from all the other 3pm Premier games. I wish the Scottish Premiership had this. Currently, there is zero way of watching Scottish Premiership games in NZ unless I VPN-it. Instead I'm reduced to 3 minute shit highlights on YouTube that have no commentary and no on-screen scoreline. What an absolutely honkingly shit product our top league is! It's even more difficult when the games are from either of the cups

3 episodes into Adolescence. It's superb so far. The single-shot technique is brilliant, gripping, makes you part of the events. And some of the acting and abrupt are exceptional.

I dunno how I feel about gunning for third. Bragging rights and a bit more cash are obvious pros. But we don't have the squad to compete in Europe AND at home yet. One summer window will not be enough to convince me either. The January window showed me JT can fix problems. But I think he needs another season in the doldrums of domestic football to build a squad capable of actually doing anything exciting in Europe. On this game, Well look like they'll bring a sizeable support up to Pittodrie which could make for a cracking atmosphere with our sold out home areas. But I reckon we will just edge it (glass half-full as always) 2-1 Dons, Jensen & Knoester

Still not confident we would win that group. Stonehaven Juniors can be a handful when they aren't nursing hangovers

NZ vs New Caledonia on just now. If NZ win, they go to the World Cup. Kinda makes me jealous that NZ's route to the World Cup includes challenging teams who would struggle in the Highland League.

The Twister on Netflix. Doco on the massive km-wide tornado that ripped theu Joplin, Missouri in 2011. Really really good! It's only about 90 minutes long but had me gripped for the middle 50 minutes. Mother Nature is an absolute bitch when she wants to be

Restless Natives had a couple of folk in the 83 Aberdeen top chasing the bandits' motorbike in Central Edinburgh. Any other shows have Dons fans appearing on them?
