I had actually thought that European football would cost us money but someone on here pointed out that money is divided up generously and there's good cash to be made, there saying Hearts made about 4 million from Europe Motherwell never got bye their first game a 2nd round qualifier and United either a 3rd round qualifier I wonder if they made anything from the pot ? ? I think both would have at least broke even with a simple trip to Ireland and Holland St Johnstone had a turnover of 8 million and a big profit the year they played a 3rd round Europa qualifier and a play off for the Conference losing both ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 Was expecting the game to finish 0-0 after the 1st 30 mins with the players struggling with the wind. Only plus for me was Gogic, showing he is the best centre half at the club but he is needed more in midfield. Thankfully games are now finishing in daylight making the walk back to the pub less depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about the season so far with my mate last night and it's been good or even better so far although their is a wee while to go. Drawing Celtic in the cup wasn't what I wanted as another home game against easier opposition would have been idea but it is what it is. The next league game should be seen as 3 points for us against a poor Motherwell side. I wouldn't put thoughts like that into peoples head Wooden Saint including your own... they'll be no easy 3 point games for us out there, the team's below us are fighting for their lives and will just be as tough as Hibs yesterday, there's not a lot between any of us from 4th down, if were not at it in any game we won't take any points from any game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy with that Higher! Certainly based on last years accounts. They though have a sugar daddy. Cormack made his money in IT. Begs the question. When is @div going to ride to the rescue?

This has been coming. Deserved the defeat,.... Just. Hibs were dreadful too. Their goal scorer was the shiny part of the sh!te on show. Not one shot on target. Absolutely howling at set pieces. Our strikers showing very little but they didn't get many chances to shine. Main had one long shot just off target. Apart from that. HEE haw. I know he isn't alone in being well below par but Grieve hasn't really even started since he came back from his sad trip home. Unfortunately Watt looks unready for a start. I'm now fearing a right spanking at Darkhead. I think my grandson will disown me for letting him talk me into getting tickets! It was a fairly similar game as the one Dundee. In the sense we huffed and puffed without really creating a clear cut chance or testing their keeper for the whole match. The only difference was that Hibs have better players than Dundee and punished us accordingly. I actually thought we went downhill rapidly when Grieve went off for Watt. Grieve wasn't playing well in an attacking sense, but what he was doing was buzzing around the Hibs back line and putting them under pressure so they couldn't play out from the back. Watt doesn't do that kind of hard work, and the Hibs goal came from them picking up one of our many hoofed long balls, playing it out from the back, and isolating Youan against Fraser.

Looking back at their goal I think, though Gogic was one of our better players, he got caught flat footed in that instance. Fraser couldn't go in full bodied as he was already on a yellow. Maybe another central defender would have been more switched on. I honestly don't understand why we're wasting Gogic's talents in the middle of the back 3.

Madness, does anyone think Alex is a better defender than Dec? I bet Gogic himself doesn't even think that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-S906B using Tapatalk Thing about this is that you never post anything positive about Robinson. On the night he was appointed i agreed with you that i didn't think he was a good appointment and that time would tell on it He ha proven to be an excellant appointment. He has pushed the team onto a level that we have not seen in a long while. So...... time to admit you got it wrong and back the man I do agree with you on Gogic though Edited February 6, 2023 by lenziebud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
