topcat(The most tip top)

It's not stalking if it just happened once

It should be pointed out at this juncture that Eddie Turnbull passed away peacefully at the age off 88. Police didn't suspect foul play and there is no evidence to suggest that @VincentGuerinhad anything to do with it.

You know full well what

Are you suggesting we don't give 100% in a game where St Mirren would like us to get some kind of result?

I always quite liked Alexi Lalas and Twitter is famously in financial trouble Maybe @Div could put in a cheeky little bid to get him to transfer from X to P&B.

Celtic are a plc which gives individual board members a bit less leeway to drive their own agenda Theoretically as the boards of Hearts, St Mirren and Motherwell are ultimately answerable to their fan-owners we could pressurise them into voting against something if there was sufficiently widespread and determined opposition to it but personally I can’t be bothered

This time they might even have a bit of a point 'Kindred group' aren't just one of the long list of Rangers' "commercial partners" and "official suppliers" they're front and centre as main shirt sponsors first with their Red32 casino and now with their sportsbook Unibet https://www.kindredgroup.com/about/our-brands/

Jam Tarts at Tynecastle seems almost too obvious

Hill’s are Celtics official betting partner

Although obviously the players would be sat downstairs as opposed to the top deck

Hibs can tie this up with a game to spare if they win the next two and under those circumstances you could hardly begrudge them

Looking at the run in this is all too close to call Hibernian: Aberdeen(H), Motherwell(H), Livingston(A) Aberdeen: Hibernian(A), Livingston(H), Ross County(A) Motherwell: Ross County(A), Hibernian(A), St. Johnstone(H)

Ross County play St Johnstone on the 15th so either of them can catch Motherwell but not both. Congratulations on making the top ten see you next season!

We’ve never done 11th when we screw things up we screw them up properly

Their goal -3 and they’ve got Arsenal next United had a goal difference of zero two seasons ago but if they finish negative it will be the first time since 1990 which was before Football started in 1992 so it’s basically prehistory

Aberdeen this season have just been odd Their final placing will say they were “mediocre to poor” but on closer inspection they appear to have swung widely between “quite good to total shite” They beat rangers in September but then followed that with draws against St Johnstone and Dundee. Similar results after beating us (two points from Saints, Dundee and Motherwell) Their hard fought point against Celtic came in the middle of a seven game winless streak Failing to win 7 European games in a row and then the one win being against Eintracht Frankfurt of all teams was very much on brand for them this season There is probably a lurking Aberdeen fan who can address this more authoritatively but basically they had a deeply silly time of it and I don’t think we can draw sensible conclusions from silly comparisons

Next weekend is going to be massive as the race for the top 9 comes to a boil

Tell us how you really feel though

That’s got the Guggenheim Wrocław can piss off

Fair enough although I suspect the supply of hotels in Wrocław would be overwhelmed so it could end up expensive anyway . I read a history of Wrocław once. Apparently it was the last surviving city in the third reich. They surrendered a few days after Berlin fell

The conference league final is in Wrocław but the Europa league final is in Dublin which would be a lot easier to get to

First time we’ve been in Europe three seasons on the bounce This will be at least 20 European games in three seasons after 18 in the previous 15 years it’s at times like this I’m quite glad we didn’t let the club die

Kilmarnock are 2-1 down at time of writing so as a Jambo I can relate to this sentiment

It’s not that unusual in other sports. Wimbledon has a runner up’s trophy. F1 races have a 3rd place trophy and the whole Olympics is based on three colourful medal even in football we give medals to beaten finalists That said it would feel more strange it in the top flight than in the second tier and particularly in Scotland where you have 10 teams for whom 3rd represents an achievement and 2 for whom 2nd is abject failure it would be very odd indeed

This is a decent Hearts side but they're not in the same class as the 1959 team
