Hudson Odoi starts for Chelsea tonight.

Victim FC emptied out of Europe.

Chelsea were awful last night. Never troubled Manchester United at all. Would think Sarri’s coat is now on a very shakey peg.

Confirmed that he injured his cruciate against St Mirren on Saturday and will be out until the end of the season. https://www.afc.co.uk/2019/02/19/tommie-hoban-injury-update/ Shame as he looked a really good player but just made of glass.

It was. Huge deflection off a Killie player but Brown celebrated like he had scored a wonder strike. Mind you I suppose it probably has all but won Victim FC the league.

Very poor performance from Dons against a very poor St Mirren side. Injury to Hoban looks a real bad one. Would expect he will not play in red again. No idea what Cosgrove was thinking for the penalty. Absolute stupidity. As somebody said he was brutal today but was not the only one. Chance to close the gap on the Tribute Act blown and now Hearts can close gap to 1 point if they win tomorrow.

Hoban fucked. Really is made of glass.

Shite. It’s replacement buses from Dundee that day.

But has played most of his career at either left back or centre half.

Heckingbottom had a couple of good spells as caretaker at Barnsley but it all went to shit once he got the gig permanently. Not even Hibs first choice according to the spoon burners in work. Apparently Appleton was due to be announced on Tuesday but there was a disagreement around the length of pay off if Hibs sacked him and deal fell through.

This should be our most comfortable home win of the season as we are playing a rotten St Mirren side. As long as we approach the game in a professional manner then we should pick up the 3 points. Not keen on playing a left sided defender at right back but if Logan is injured and the other option is Ball then I guess we have to go with Hoban unless we go with a back 3 with McGinn and GMS as wing backs. If we did go 3 at the back it would allow us to play Stewart in a free role behind May and Cosgrove. In Pub in town as up in Aberdeen on Friday Y Pub then train back to capital 3-0 Stewart May and McGinn.

That’s why I said no chance they well get it as Pokice Scotland will not allow it.

Happened to McKenna already this season so suspect it was something that changed in the summer but cannot see anything official on it. Definitely last season if you had been booked an incident could not be referred.

Arabs away vaguely rings a bell for some reason but cannot think of any others. 1/4 replay against Celtic when Mackie scored we could have asked for it but as mid week the usual away allocation at the time was more than enough.

Under cup rules they are entitled to 20% of the tickets at Pittodrie which is 4,177 tickets. No chance they will get that as Police Scotland will only allow it to be an end that can be segregated.

With all ties on TV this will not be a 3pm kick off sadly.

1/4 final draw Aberdeen v Kilmarnock or Tribute Act Dundee United v Ross County or ICT Partick Th v Hearts Hibs v Celtic Games played 2nd or 3rd March. All 4 ties will be on tv.

Finished 2-2. Replay next week.

With McKenna suspended would like us to go back to a back 4. Considine and Hoban deserve to keep their places as both played well at Hibs.Cup games are about progression rather than results but it would be nice to win this with a bit of style. Gutting it’s a Sunday as it means I cannot make it up. Replacement buses from Dundee on Sunday would have made it a shit journey anyway. Oot Park or Soft play with bairn depending on weather Hopefully back in time to watch game. Flat 3-0 Stewart Cosgrove and Considine.

Ban upheld. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47179178

Dorset Police have confirmed that body found in the wreckage of the plane is Sala.

BBC article suggests decision is to made tomorrow evening.

Of course he was as was Morelos but we should still appeal it as makes it harder to for them to allow Morelos appeal to be upheld.

We should be doing the same. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/47161011

Manchester City increased the pressure on Liverpool last night by beating Everton to go top of the league on goal difference.
