TPAFKA Jersey 2

👍 If you were the type to ruthlessly bet against your own team (which I’m not) that could be a tasty blow softener.

People quoting heavily odds on prices on us making the top 6. Is there such a bet as us not making the top 6 and if so, anyone know what the price is?

In what way is that not in our hands? Surely it’s the very definition of in our hands?

Ok, at least two 😄

There's always two ways to look at it I suppose. I thoroughly enjoyed celebrating Olusanya's goal against Aberdeen twice!

I still think there’s a version of VAR that can work and that version is a massively simplified one. First thing I’d do is bin the use of VAR for retrospective red cards. On field decision stands every time. For me that has ruined many a game. For offside, the rule needs to be changed to clear daylight. This would assist with two things being 1) decisions could be made pretty much instantly (no more standing around waiting) and 2) it would mean us having less cameras than they have in England wouldn’t be so much of a hindrance to decision making. Penalty for a foul - I’m torn on this one between ditching it completely and going with on field decision or changing the rule from clear and obvious error (which frankly is f**king stupid in the first place as it’s totally subjective) to clear and obvious foul which should be a lot more straightforward. By clear and obvious foul I mean if you can’t see it clearly on first look then move on. A CLEAR foul should be visible from any angle. And finally handball. I still say the problem with the inconsistent decisions re handball are the fault of the incredibly f**king stupid rule rather than with VAR. The way the rule is at present it’s almost impossible for there not to be inconsistent, subjective decisions based on one person’s interpretation. So I’d say either come up with a far more categoric rule, or ditch it from VAR. So I guess ultimately what I’m saying is that VAR can work if it’s used only for decisions that are a matter of fact, rather than a matter of opinion or interpretation. VAR has been massively over engineered and it should be used in the same simplistic way as goal line technology. I'm sure this simplified version of VAR would probably be a fair bit cheaper as well.

A fairly honest interview where he takes responsibility for his part in failing to get subs on quickly enough, but at the same time doesn’t miss the players which is fair enough. The one thing missing from the interview for me is him taking responsibility for the starting line up in the first place. In my opinion neither, Flynn, O’Hara or McMenamin should’ve been starting the game.

Absolutely still in it mate. See you for the Hearts game in a few weeks. 👍

You say that, but they have only scored 3 more goals than us all season which means that before yesterday they had scored 2 less 🤷‍♂️

Much as I hate to say it I could. And here is a WhatsApp conversation to prove it with my Killie supporting mate Malky which started a HT with his congrats message. 🤦‍♂️

Disagree with this. We are highly unlikely to be involved in a “qualification marathon”. We’d play two rounds max, which would be no different from having the 4 League Cup games. Jesus if we don’t want European football, what’s the point of participating in the League.

My IPTV stream is honkin today. Loads of buffering. It’s usually really good.

I know it’s a tough game but that’s a decent price on us surely??

Aberdeen are the gift that keeps on giving 🤣🤣 Also, Jambo in waiting Dhanda didn’t exactly endear himself to the Hibs fans when he scored that late equaliser. 🤣🤣 He was a bit naughty to say the least. Funny though 🤣

Was my first ever away game. I was behind the goal McGarvey scored in. ETA - Bugger! Quoted the wrong post. Sure you knew what I meant. 😄

Yes, as much as I'm absolutely loving the Aberdeen carnage, I think my preferred result in that game is a draw, although if Ross Co can beat Hibs I'd be happy with a Dundee win as I'm less concerned about them than I am about Hibs (speaking from a European place POV rather than a top 6 one).

Ahhhh the good old Cellar Bar. The first pub ever to serve me alcohol. Before the Aberdeen cup semi at Parkhead in April 82. I was 15 (although only a month before my 16th).

Let ye aff. Knew ye wurnae 14. Auld duffer.

Stop lying aboot yer age and trying to make it look like yer no an auld cant. You were 16 in 1980 no 14. 😄

Twice 😄

Just said exactly the same thing to my mate about the break being a good thing for us. It also gives us the opportunity to bask in the glow of Saturday for an extra week too. 🤣 Killie game is huge. Hope we take a monster away support down there which there’s every chance we will. Re the Hearts game, I’m hoping we’ve got the beating of them more than one time a season, because we’ve already beaten them once! 😄

We’ve also got a trend….. Good, shite, good, shite, good, shite. Let’s hope that trend continues for one more game 👍

Yup and I still think a draw in the Edinburgh derby was a perfect result for for us. How absolutely enormous are the lolz at Aberdeen? 🤣🤣🤣 Great night all round 👍

Agree about Olusanya. Re Baccus, if he comes back in it can only be for CBM because there’s no way I’d drop Kwon. I think CBM played well enough against Livi and St. Johnstone to be forgiven an off night last night. Not in favour of dropping players for one bad game. I’d at least give him the first half of the Aberdeen game. If his form from last night continues on Saturday then he’s fair game for Baccus at half time. It seems mental that we’re not even factoring in the return of Mark O’Hara. I guess we all remember the form he was in before his injury.

Just watched those highlights there and two things I never noticed at the match about Scott’s chance at the end. 1) I didn’t realise how well Olusanya did to set the chance up. 2) Just how abysmal Scott’s effort was. From our angle I didn’t realise he’d missed the target by so much.
