I'd imagine he's went through them privately.
Indeed. And given that, there's no moral boost from publicly pretending all was good, and it was just those pesky underhand Dundonians insisting on man marking and other nefarious tactics. No need to eviscerate them in public either, but an admission that it wasn't good enough and he/they had needed to do some work to improve quickly wouldn't have gone amiss.
But it's not massively important of course. It's not like he shot up the tunnel without shaking Tony Docherty's hand...0 -

Pretty much what I believe, however I think there can be more of a balance. Instead of just giving the players a boost, he can also explain what he feels can be done better and give an idea as to how he might address it.
Aye, this. Apart from anything else, the players won't believe it any more than the (not daft) fans do. Where's the quick boost in player moral from talking obvious nonsense? There should be a middle ground from Clement.

A Dundee win here would be very, very funny. Make it so lads!
I have decided that the funnier of the two options available for League winner this year is for Celtic to win it. It's a close run thing - Brenda whining and greeting is always hilarious and winning the title will give him the chance to lord it up for no good reason - but the sight of Rangers fans raging that the cancelled Dundee game cost them a title that was rightfully theirs is too sweet to be missed.
Dundee win, with an incredibly dodgy, VAR awarded, last minute penalty would be ideal.3 -

In Hearts situation, yes.
You're right of course - football fans are renowned for their Big Picture view during individual matches

Nobody boos when they're pissed off. It should be a cacophony of angry/bemused shouts, which would have been just. Even booing at half time if you went in 2 down would be understandable but it was a game in which you were 2 up at half time and at full time. To have booed at any point is just entitled, knicker-wetting nonsense. Can Hearts even finish anywhere other than 3rd?
That's some weird, convoluted take - 'bemused shouts'?.
The (brief) booing was at 2 down. Nothing to do with any other part of the game - though you seem to think the fans who were booing should have known at that point the half time score and full time scores.

I know how it eventually turned out, but the cacophony of boos from the Tynecastle Faithful when Livi went two goals up, was a joy to behold.
Is being mightily pissed off at being 2-0 down to the bottom side in the league, at home, really that strange a take?

No links to Scottish, Northern Irish or Welsh football on the BBC football website anymore?
Saw that and thought I was just being thick. Had to bookmark Scottish football page directly.

The old firm coverage is ridiculous but I think there has to be a reasonable acceptance that most of their readership will be old firm fans and the reference is just a way to draw them into reading the story.
I was watching some EFL highlights at the weekend and a goal was scored by Joe Nuttall. Likely mean nothing to you but the name rang a bell so I googled and turns out I was right, he made two appearances for Aberdeen back early on in the mcinnes era. The only reason I googled him was a very passing association with Aberdeen.
That mindset is all they’re leaning into with it and I don’t think it’s that unreasonable a tactic.
Again, you're not wrong - but leaning into the Old Firm pandering mindset in a national newspaper exemplifies much of what's wrong with football reporting in this country.

I mean, its not wrong is it? He was only ever on loan at those other teams. Was always a Rangers player through those spells other than Stirling?
In the scale of shite journalism, always think this kind of stuff is nothing to get worked up over.
It's not technically wrong (and you're not wrong that it's probably a waste of time being bothered by it), but it's symptomatic of the terrible, Old Firm weighted reporting in this country, where flattering the cheeks is much more important than accurate/useful information.
I mean, Connor Randall spent more than a decade on Liverpool's books and played for the first team in the EPL 3 times - but I doubt the Record would describe him as 'ex-Liverpool right back Connor Randall'*

23 minutes on the pitch for Rangers in his entire time there, in a game against a team from Gibraltar. Played many more games for Dundee, Harrogate Town, Stirling Albion, Morton, Morecambe, Tranmere and Queens Park - but yep, he's a 'former Rangers winger'.

That Ranger's statement is remarkable, I come on this thread all looking forward to laughing at Dundee's repeated inability to drain a pitch, but that one read of that statement and I'm immediately on team Dundee.
Aye, it's bloody annoying - I was looking forward to laughing at Dundee, and now I find myself applauding them for what I am choosing to see as deliberate anti-Rangers trolling.

Penalty without a shadow of doubt . All away from body, moving towards ball to block, stops goal bound shots.
Penalty in any decade never mind this one.
Aye. I've seen some bad decisions this year, both for and against Hearts, but that would have been a penalty for handball in the 80s, never mind now.
Tbh, I thought the St Mirren one at the end looked like a penalty too, when I saw it again on Sportscene.0 -

Fair play to the Killie social media bod there.
Also, enjoyable game, both teams going for the win, and an incredible strike from Watkins (which had the absolute half wit behind me in the main stand giving it, 'how's Clark no fucking saved that?', which just sums up that particular moron).1 -

That's fine, but I think kidding it over other supporters is best bit.
Entirely fair. Different strokes and all that.

What's the point then?
I'm not sure I understand the question, tbh. What's the point of what?
If you mean football in general, it's (hopefully) to watch my team play well, beat other teams and win trophies. I don't feel any need to gloat about that to other football fans, except possibly at the time it happened. I certainly have never felt any need to cast up previous victories months or even years later to opposition fans.
Apart from anything else, what would I be bragging about? Surely bragging is something you do regarding something you personally have achieved? With football, all I've done is watch.
(apologies if that's not what you meant at all - I'm currently choked with the cold and possibly being dim)0 -
"Where have you seen accusations of impartial journalism from Scottish football reporters (if anywhere)?"
Accusations of impartiality - whatever next!

Good bit of marketing, that.
My Dad (Rangers) is absolutely certain Hearts won't sell out. So do it to get it up him, if not for the badge, lads.Aye, made me laugh.
Hopefully I'll be laughing again after the game - if I can figure out somewhere in Tirana which is showing it, since I'll be there on the day of the match, unfortunately.0 -

Not to get overly into it but this is why I find it so funny when some Hearts fans bring this up online insisting it's still some big emotional deal for people. No Hearts fan I know has ever mentioned it to me since 2012 and even coming up to a derby it never crosses my mind, in the same way I'm sure 6-2 or 0-7 don't for Jambos
Exactly - why would you care, really? Painful at the time, but it was ages ago.

Nah, I would rather one of the OF won anything ahead of United, but not any of the other teams.
My point is that, if either of the OF win a trophy, nobody really cares and it's not a big deal.
If United won anything, it would be a huge deal and they would then have the bragging rights of having won the most major honours in Dundee.
However when one of the other clubs win a trophy, it's a great achievement and I am very happy for them.
I can understand that - but I've never really cared about 'bragging rights'.
I've got lots of mates who are Hibs fans, and they'd no doubt rip the piss a bit if they won the league, but they're not exactly the age of the - God save us - Ultras, and so it's not going to be something they'd be likely to bring up very often (as a comparison, I genuinely could not tell you that last time I mentioned the 5-1 cup final to any of them, but I'd guess it was within a month or so of that game taking place).
And the delight of our league becoming something which more than two teams could win would more than make up for any piss-taking/gloating.0 -
Re the discussion about who would you have win the League, a cup etc - one of the Old Firm or your local rivals? I'd have Hibs win the title before I'd have either arsecheek win it (but obviously I'd prefer in an ideal world that the winners were one of the other 39 teams).

In fairness to Shankland, he kind of bounces back up straight away and tries to keep playing so I do think it was pretty harsh.
This is why it should have been a no-brainer win on appeal for me. There's literally no attempt at all by Shankland to gain an advantage here - he doesn't claim for a penalty, he doesn't roll about, he just gets back up and keeps playing.
Really poor decision by an inexperienced ref.

Penalty is also a player absolutely looking for it. Maybe harsh to be a yellow but definitely not a penalty
Spot on - never a penalty (which Shankland doesn't claim for), and never a yellow either.
I make that two very dubious yellows for Shankland in the past month - if there is no statement from the Hearts board by end of play today about biased refereeing, it will be a bloody disgrace and cause for sending season tickets back.

Shankland clearly checks to see where Wickens is. He's trying to influence the game from an offside position. If he wasn't, what the hell is he doing there?
Yeah, I have to admit that I'd have wanted that ruled out at the other end, and for the exact same reason.
