    Obviously  our "scoreboard " is not connected to the VAR system  otherwise we would have known what they were looking at when our goal was disallowed  ,or do we need  another separate  board, either way it needs sorted asap

    The stadium announcer said "VAR goal check for a possible foul in the build up."

    Had the board been used it would have displayed the blue background with white lettering saying "VAR goal check - possible foul." as seen at Tynecastle earlier.

    There's no compulsion to use the board.

    Arguably the greatest penalty box striker we had in the modern era. He would have had a field day in recent years with all the changes in the way the game is refereed and also the bowling green pitches.

    I just wish he had been a little more patient at Liverpool as he would have become a Kop Legend and won major honours. He really was that good.

    He should have won so many caps for Scotland.

    Hopefully Frank can win this battle. One of my first ever heroes playing in the first division under Fergie. 

    You are in my thoughts Frank. Without him leading the line in 1987 we would never have won that cup.

    I remember his last appearance at Love Street when he destroyed @Eric Arthur Blair in goals that day.

    Think Frank scored 5 or 6 goals in a 20 minute period then walked off. 

    You don't remember very well. 😛

    He only played against the fans team in the home kit whose keeper was Div. I was keeper for the team wearing the red kit. I did concede 7 but made one magnificent flying potato save from a Lex Richardson piledriver.

    As others have said I hope both Franks make full and swift recoveries.

    So who were doing the booing? Was that hearts fans against the singing hearts fans?

    Some Hearts fans booed the Hearts fans doing the singing.

    Did you not hear the full thing? As soon as the "silence" started you could clearly hear one shout of "f**k the Queen" swiftly followed by "Naw, f**k you".

    Sad yes, but no sadder than any old codger passing away.

    My auld maw was younger than Liz but I missed her TV coverage.

    Beyond any basic human emotion that it’s sad when anyone dies, I couldn’t give a monkeys. 

    Speaking of which, since there's nothing on worth watching, I'm away to listen to some music.

    Maybe something by The Smiths.

    They had a minutes silence at tynecastle which wasn’t very well observed Then they announced there had been a half time substitution………..I half expected him to say Charles for Elizabeth

    Not sure what happened at tynecastle……..possibly the away fans singing GSTQ during the silence?

    It was the Hearts fans singing GSTQ quickly followed by Rule Britannia and I was born under a Union Flag.

    EAB. Did you ever attend Saturday morning matinee films? Every film ended with a cliff hanger where it looked certain that there was no escape and death awaited the hero or heroine, only to be proved wrong the following Saturday when you saw them perform a last second miracle escape. Ps. I enjoy Shetland

    You know, that's exactly what I thought of at the start of the next episode when she was safe and sound in the back of the ambulance.

    "That was just like all of those Flash Gordon/Buck Rodgers episodes I used to watch at The Regal on a Saturday morning". However, those serials were aimed at children...Shetland is not.

    Oh look, there's the "You smoked yer leg aff/Ah'm carpets" guy from Still Game as the explosives expert.

    What a load of shite, Tosh is still in the caravan with 8 seconds to go but we are to believe in that time she breaks a window or door and gets far enough clear of the blast that she only has wee burns on her hands.

    Naw.

    Henshall's acting is truly woeful at times, really wooden. So is Steven Robinson's, his delivery constantly sounds like he's reading his lines off an idiot board. And WTF is the guy from Casualty's accent all about?
