  1. Almost certainly. Hemming has been too good for us to keep him.
  2. 'Hypocritical': Rangers' Dundee stance blasted on-air | Glasgow Times Pretty much agree with this. Except for liking the rangers or wanting them to win the league.
  3. Has anyone heard what's happening with Bolton? Taken off with some sort of injury but I haven't seen anything regarding what and how serious the injury is.
  4. Disappointed not to take all three points. VAR once again fecked us. Given the fact the obvious penalty that wasn't awarded would have possibly given us a one goal advantage, there is no certainty it would have changed the result but it does prove, if proof was needed, that VAR in this country does nothing to improve the game north of Hadrian's wall.
  5. It's not even certain we'll be top six yet. I think I'll wait until I see where we are after the next two games. IF we pick up points and Killie don't, or vice versa, your scenario changes. I do agree that a short Euro adventure might stretch us but there are so many younger fans who never got to experience our past exploits that I couldn't begrudge them the opportunity.
  6. IF VAR had improved the decision making I would be in favour. IMO, it hasn't. Our system is a cheap and nasty copy of the English version. Add to this my aforementioned concerns. The part of your post I highlighted is a real concern because we HAVE the long delays followed by the WRONG decision. A recipe for ridicule. As for the quote you inserted, (I don't see his posts unless he is quoted), It doesn't matter if it was for us or against us. It was still the wrong decision. The only thing I would say is, In Paisley, they were wrongly awarded a goal with the last kick of the ball, even with VAR. 1 point instead of 3 points. We won 0-3. In Aberdeen. 3 points instead of, well, 3 points.
  7. VAR was brought in without the equipment to actually make it workable. It was meant to ASSIST the on field officials, and, by god, they needed assistance. BUT. The officials are still making the same "errors" even after micro-analysing every decision. The hidden officials are getting involved in situations they should leave alone. As I have already said, No slow or stop motion should be used to upgrade yellow cards as, most times, it makes any challenge look much worse than it is. It's the same for hand ball decisions for penalties. Slow the video down and you see a brush of a sleeve which is usually unintentional and isn't even enough to deviate the flight of the ball. Some of the off side decisions using our cheap system are laughable as we don't have enough cameras to judge them properly. All in all. I think, given the controversy around the decisions, our form of VAR has actually made things worse and should be scrapped. The money would be far better spent on independent monitoring of officials' performances and for them to be accountable for any obvious atrocious or apparent bias decisions. Maybe then the smaller clubs wouldn't be so unfairly impacted by on field decisions as the officials would know they'd be scrutinised.
  8. You're right. You made no point. But it looks as if you were trying to.
  9. And if that were a national anthem of Scotland I'm certain it would goad a reaction from our southern brethren, but it's not, so your point is invalid.
  10. Got our tickets. Bus organised. Just me and the grandson as my missus is fed up with VAR. No matter what some say, I believe VAR IS turning folk off and the increase in numbers attending will be reversed as more and more people will vote with their feet in protest of this ridiculous interference in what was the beautiful game. Numbers were rising before the farce but I can't see more becoming involved while we have this micro management of our game. Funny thing is, I was hopeful of VAR levelling things up by correcting the disparity in positive decisions for the @rsecheeks. In reality, it's just highlighted the ineptness of our officials and destroyed the atmosphere when a goal is scored. Back to the game. Heart says narrow victory. Head says, best case scenario? Draw.
  11. Really? Verse 6? Lord grant that Marshal Wade, May by thy mighty aid, Victory bring. May he sedition hush, And like a torrent rush, Rebellious Scots to crush May god get rid of the king (and his hangers on) OK. Maybe I made the last bit up but I would NEVER advertise the actual line. I don't think I've heard them boo any other Nation anthem recently.
  12. I have to say. My missus has almost turned her back on the game. A lifelong buddy, she's fed up with the nonsense that comes with a poor man's VAR and incompetent officials making ridiculous decisions. Long delays and slow motion replays making things look much worse than they were. VAR, if the idiots running our game decide it stays, must be rolled back to only get involved when a really obvious mistake is made. Not set up to micro manage every decision. In fact. Slow motion should not be used at all. If they can't conclusively see a problem in real time, it is NOT, by definition, a clear and obvious mistake
  13. This It might be sh!te decisions by the on-field @rseholes but at least it's cheaper sh!te without paying for the hidden sh!ts.
  14. We'll have to go up even more to see him sometime now. RIP Steve
  15. Outside the top three, only Motherwell better us for away points, (and that was on the strength of an impressive but wholly unexpected Ibrox win), so we have some cause for cautious optimism. There is no doubt in my mind, the plastic pitch has given Killie a helping hand this season but I think we can go there with a large away support and give them a bloody nose. Unfortunately I am on standby so can't make the game. I'll just have to hope those who go give the players their loud support and I will keep my powder dry for the Motherwell game. Heart says 1-3, head says best outcome will probably be 1-1.
  16. O'Neill is on a four year contract and a hefty salary wit NI. Not sure the dons would part with the comp and match the wages.
  17. It's not just the goals. It's the manner of them. Actual striker type goals. Long may it continue.
  18. Is the rule not that the suspension is in the next match in the competition they were sent off ?
  19. Are the women not playing at Greenhill Road now?
  20. IF Carlsberg did results v Dons. Absolutely buzzing. Not good for the old ticker but it does make for fun. One of my Dons' workmates made the mistake of texting me on 90 minutes with the score and a few laughing emojis. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
  21. Unfortunately. Fourth and he'll be poached.
  22. I think, although we don't have the same crosses into the box from the right, we're coping well enough not to push Strain too hard. Elvis has been a reasonable deputy. Shrewd transfer work.
