The thing is, the Premiership form is as sackable, the European performances were really encouraging (even if I thought the two Helsinki games we were poor), and the cups I think we've been fortunate - beating Hibs was the one real tough obstacle we've overcome and even then we didn't play particularly well. The results aren't what has me angry, as they weren't great under Glass and I still backed him. It's the tactics, playing his mates, and in-game decision making. All three of those things can be improved upon so maybe there is still a future there for Robson. For now, I fully believe he'll be in charge for the Bonnyrigg Rose match no matter what happens in the next three games - so he will be getting time anyway.

I actually called him Adam Montgomery today in a conversation too. I will never get his name right.

Is Adam Montgomery their Stephen Glass? A bit naive, trying to make something work with the wrong players, but maybe they do what we didn't do and trust the process? They can't defend, that's their big problem. They also have a goalkeeper who is not Premiership level anymore. But I like the way Montgomery is committed to 4-4-2 with two wingers and two strikers. Sometimes it's a bit of a mental 4-2-4, others it's 4-4-1-1 or a 4-2-3-1, but when they attack they're good. There are clearly weaknesses to the way he's trying to play, but if he was our manager and we were having the season Hibs are having - I'd be more inclined to give him a chance until the end of the season than I currently am with Robson. #BringBackGlass

Five wins out of the last nine - including beating Frankfurt. Not long ago been in a cup final, and a favourable draw that presents a good chance of a Scottish Cup quarter-final. Last team to beat Rangers at Ibrox too. The FMB are more likely to give Robson a new contract than sack him.

John Collins - I think it says a lot that he hasn't been hired by anyone. Granted, he may not even be like looking. His last job in football (unless I'm missing something) was eight years ago as Celtic assistant. Alex Neil is similar. Fans only remember the good times (Hamilton and Norwich in his case). Sunderland and Stoke fans hate him and Charlton fans have scoffed at being linked to him - having seen more of his football than we have over the past few years. I genuinely have no idea who we should go for. And I don't think the board do too. My fear is Jack Ross. Has many admirers at the club, and was very close to getting it before Goodwin. They'll see his Newcastle academy role as a positive.

I agree with you. I don't see Robson lasting long term, and so you could say he's essentially back to being an interim boss. But I'll be surprised if he's sacked before the Dundee game. Maybe the club will surprise me. It's a shame, I like him and I wanted him to be given a chance. But he hasn't developed and I think he needs to go and do an Ian Murray, Duncan Ferguson and Scott Brown and take on a Championship job.

Dunno, the jungle drums are beating. Maybe the club feel better that a win over Dundee quietens the noise, but we then have the Old Firm back-to-back. Robson seems genuinely well liked by everyone at the club and that makes sacking him difficult. But surely even his biggest fan is baffled at some of the decisions. I think he'll get the Dundee game, but we're one bad result/performance away from the end. And I think that's coming in the next three games.

Think Rico should apologise to anyone he talked out of betting on Hearts -1 Robson in his post-match interview is going to dine out on that first 30 minutes, but the following 60 was the same as the rest of the season.

Yeh, I'm only putting a fiver on it.

Hearts have been terrible in their last five games. Twice they have had to fight back from 2-0 down against Ross County and Dundee, both at Tynecastle. They were minutes away from being taken to extra-time by Spartans. Forget the record at Tynecastle, it's a winnable game against a vulnerable team. I just don't see Aberdeen turning up.

I think so, Sokler told him to "get well soon" and "come back stronger" on Instagram.

Great goal. Ridiculous decision to chop it off, the 'foul' made no difference to the clearance. VAR ruining football, but keeping Aberdeen in this.

Not really been watching (didn't go in the end) so only saw the last five minutes of the first half. Has it been a Robson Out performance or a bit-boring-but-we'll-come-good performance?

Incredible how poorly Aberdeen actually advertise there things. Too busy wishing players happy birthday. But the game is on PPV for £12.99 through St Johnstone, or cash gates are open in the main stand for those like me who have just found themselves with a day off and are considering going.

Huge week. Anything less than nine points from the next three games (St Johnstone, Hearts, Dundee) and I think we can forget any notion of third, and yes that means winning at Tynecastle. We could actually be 20 points behind them on Saturday night, the games in hand would mean little. Robson likes to say "We need to start winning games". Aye well we are definitely at that stage now. Same team that started v Clyde is fine with me, maybe I'd play Jensen ahead of Gartenmann and Pollock over Rubezic providing the club have signed him and have just forgotten to announce it, but should be fine enough. McGarry is injured.

I am currently nearing the end of a five day break, so it didn't happen on my watch.

I see Uefa have quietly closed their investigation into the alleged racism towards Gueye https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67980477

This one might make everyone nervous. Don't do it Barry.

Semantics darling. My point still stands. You can't say he has great awareness when he clearly lacks it, is too lazy / lacks the desire to track back, and is part of a defence where only two Premiership teams have conceded more league goals this season. Jury still out on him I'd say.

A lot of praise there for someone who doesn't bother their arse tracking their marker.

Fun fact, his mum was my next door neighbour when we were kids. I never played football with his mum though so probably can't take all the credit for his rise to fame.

Klopp on Rhys Williams:- I will have to talk with him about why his loan spell didn’t work out, that was obviously different and the boy I know I would expect to play in Scotland, 100 per cent, from the first to the last second if it is not Celtic or Rangers where it is always slightly different, and he didn’t. “I will have to talk to him about that and I didn’t do that yet, but it will happen, definitely, and then we will see what’s the outcome of that conversation.”

Besuijen is a better player than Morris. And you all know it.

Why ruin a perfectly good post with that?
