For me it’s the other way round. I find that if Morris is up against a pacy full back he can’t easily get the better of at the first time of trying, he’ll retreat into his shell and not bother trying unless he gets a head start. Keskinen never seems to let failure bother him. If it doesn’t work first time, he’ll keep going at it. End product isn’t always there, but he’s still usually the player on the pitch most likely to produce something from nothing. If he can find consistency in his output, he’ll be a multi-million pound player.

The whinging about Devlin’s second yellow card is pointless, he should have already received it when he needlessly attacked Knoester 10 minutes prior, which Knoester somehow ended up getting booked for.

Hearts down to 9. Perfect conditions for us to chuck it at the death.

Taking Keskinen off when extra time is looming is a bit silly. I’d have him playing a central-ish free role and keep Dabbagh on the bench.

Devlin’s exposed because Sokler has no idea how to play wide right, especially the defensive aspects. Should have kept Keskinen on.

Not a fan of these subs, we’re losing a lot of width, where we’ve been having quite a lot of success getting the ball forward and into the box.

B team it might be, but their starting line up cost almost £20m.

This referee is behaving like an absolute cock.

Problem with Okkels is that he’s very one-footed. Really relies on the LB supporting him in attack if he can’t get it on to his right foot.

That’s twice their number 5 has gone down pretending to be caught by Gueye. Shitehouse behaviour like that should fall under the remit of VAR, it’s just cheating.

Can we get Gueye off please?

Okkels is murder, never a £3m player.

Too busy putting my eye liner on.

Vance is a fucking weasel.

Mitov comes out to intercept the first goal and saves the third.

I wouldn’t be too worried about us being a bit scrappy, we were up against a typical away from home Derek McInnes team, they were set up to frustrate us from the get go. We kept going instead of panicking as we got to the end of the match, it went as well as it could have.

Gueye is probably holding back a bit because every time he gets near the ball the ref blows for a foul.

Nilsen looked better after being rested, I think rotating him and Shinnie next to Palaversa is probably the best way to go.

Need to put this one to bed early, Dunfermline have Rivaldo and Yeboah on their bench.

Palestinian striker Oday Dabbagh looks like being our new striker. Loan with option to buy from Charleroi. Not a great scoring record in Belgium but has also played in Portuguese top league with a slightly better record. Big Angus off to Exeter to play for Gary Caldwell.

Most of the shitebags are his signings. He hasn’t signed a single player with an ounce of the grit and determination that the likes of Shinnie, Mackenzie and Devlin have. If those players are not playing their best, they’ll be giving their best. Thelin has gone to great lengths to stress that a player’s character is one of the most important attributes he looks for. Looking at the players he’s signed so far, including those that have played for him before… well let’s just say we need to get some more points quickly because we do not have a squad with the character for a relegation battle. Hopefully we can sign a couple of gallus minks on Monday (RIP JC).

Willie Miller made a good observation, it’s just a complete lack of inspiration. There’s no character, no bite, no accountability. Just technically astute, pragmatic Scandinavian football. Take Jensen for example. I’ll bet he’s never won a 50-50 challenge in his life. Not because he’s a coward, but because he’s done the mental mathematics and concluded the disadvantages outweigh the advantages and therefore statistically it’s better to let the opponents have the ball and try to win it back another way. Except his calculation completely omits the emotional impact of winning a 50-50 both on the team and on the fans. And that seems to be Thelin’s playbook. Every after match interview he talks about emotions and it seems he is the one trying to remove the emotional element of football from our game. Even Shinnie is being neutered. He basically wants to turn us into a footballing IKEA. And the problem with IKEA is that it’s absolute dog shit when put under any kind of pressure or rigorous use. That may work in the Swedish league where everyone is a pragmatic 50-50 avoiding emotionless fanny, but it’s not going to work here.

Ahh, throwing shit against the wall in the hope something sticks. I’ve seen this episode before.

I hope all this money we’re spending on transfer fees is coming out of Cormack’s pocket rather than us betting the house on Thelin.

Olusanya out of contract this summer seems a no brainer signing.
