    How do we ever recover? Will a treble be enough? 🤣

    It’s a strange feeling to get gubbed by Rangers and not really give a f**k about it though.

    Not quite the flex you think it is mate. Make sure to pick up your commemorative print and dvd as a reminder of season 22/23. 

    You're doing a great job of showing how much you don't care bhoys.

    Is it surprising a Hearts fan would talk down how lucrative guaranteed European group stage football is now they seem very unlikely to get it again? Probably not.

    Aberdeen fans are talking about the money because they're in the driving seat again. You can't talk up or talk down facts anyway can you. 

    Give up AJF, Aberdeen and Hibernian are never going to shag you.

    Think your CEO mentioned the turnover was up £6m. 

    Not related to Europe if so. Flights, hotels and bonuses all add up i guess. Our HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL busnesswoman owner went through the numbers a while back.

    Anyway It's the excitement of getting pumped by glamour sides and enjoying a foreign piss up that's the real prize.

    Tell you what, promise to win at tynecastle and we’ll agree a draw. 

    ETA - if you don’t fulfil your end of the bargain you owe Aberdeen or myself (whichever has the lowest bank balance) £6m. 

    We made about £3m from Europe this season after expenses. Can't see your profit being £6m.

    My son was the same. To the extent the health visitor (areshole) mentioned it. Within a few months he was chatting away and he's now four and will not shut up. They're all different. I'm sure he will be absolutely fine. I don't like how the health visitors put a timeline on everything, and if your nursery isn't concerned I'd take their experience and advice as they're dealing with dozens of kids that age and see all the diffferent nuances on a daily basis.

    That's good to know. They were saying there are plenty of children who suddenly start talking coherently closer to their 3rd birthday. When you read up online you'd think it was a massive problem that makes you second guess things a bit. 

    I think it's forming the words in his mouth that's the issue, we understand his language, train = baba, cat = ow wow etc. 

  6. My son is 2 years and 3 months old. He's quite quick to pick most things up but his speech is perhaps a little behind where we would expect. His nursery isn't concerned. Anybody been in this boat? 

    He's maybe got 30 words he can say but only uses about 10 regularly without prompt. Only occasionally puts two words together. He blethers away in baby speak a lot and is quite social. He understands a lot as he can point out things you ask him about. 

  7. Does anybody have any experience in growing chusan palms, particularly on the East coast? Any sources in Scotland? Every nursery that stocks seem to be down south. Unsure what size to get in order to be confident that I can keep it alive. My garden is South facing, soil is quite sandy.

     

  8. Grant and Kio aren't anywhere near the level we need. We didn't go get a RB/RWB even though that was a glaring requirement. Yes we got Shankland which was brilliant but he wasn't plucked from obscurity, just an obvious purchase we needed to make. 

    Let's hope it improves this summer even though there's likely to be less budget and we don't have Euro group football guaranteed as a sweetener.

    I think if you take injuries into account there's nothing in it at all.

    We've had more fixture congestion and far worse injuries.

    As I mentioned above, it's on the club to deal with that. But I doubt Aberdeen would be third just now had they played in the groups this season and had the injuries we've had.

    Obviously, you can't point this out without folk screeching about excuses, but it's just clearly true.

    Failure to replace Halkett and to replace the missing holding midfielders has been a shocking false economy.

    They have a strategy of finding players and selling them for a good profit. I laughed at that last summer because how many clubs claim that's what they're doing but do it badly. Hibs for example. As long as it works for them it doesn't matter if they have a ramshackle stadium. How long it lasts remains to be seen. The recruitment at Hearts and bringing through the youth has to improve to keep pace with them next season.

    While you have to congratulate Aberdeen, and Barry Robson in particular, for their dramatic turnaround in recent weeks, it shouldn't be forgotten that it was exactly the same shitebag players who lost embarrassingly to Darvel only a few short weeks ago along with a string of annihilations dished up by Hibs and Hearts amongst others. I don't wish Robson and the Dons any ill will but it wouldn't be the first time that a new manager bounce only lasted until just after he'd been put in charge on a permanent basis.

    On a similar note, is it likely that Hearts underperforming players have finally turned a corner or was Saturday just a one-off in view of Ross County's woeful performance? 

    If you were a Dons fan you could be thinking if it hadn't been for Goodwin they'd have cantered past 70pts this season. 

    I don't think there's a big gulf in quality between ourselves and them. They did much better business in January. Our recruitment fell short of what the club needed. This summer is massive.

    Nonsense

    If you spend the good times worrying about what could go wrong then you don't even enjoy the good times

    Saturday evening, Sunday morning doesn't fall into the definition of 'good times' for me so I was keeping my powder cautiously dry.

    I agree in general though, we're on here to be hubristic when things are going well. Otherwise you're a boring shitebag. None of us saw our spectacular collapse or Aberdeens spectacular run of form coming.

    Sacked for sitting 4th before the split instead of 3rd is fucking mental regardless of the recent run!

    Unless you think that form is going to continue into the next season and result in bonifide relegation material then fair enough but imo it seems like the board heard ott fan reactions yesterday and utterly shat it!  
    Can’t help but think some other usual merry-go-round name will be in charge and you’ll be in the same position next season regardless.

    We're on 45 points just now. If another side was half decent they'd be out of sight. Not good enough for the money being spent.
