Watching it back just now, I'm not even convinced it was a foul.

Do we f**k. I'm loving this run - it's such a strange feeling to be consistently leaving Tynecastle looking forward to watching Sportscene later - but if we get a draw against each OF team (and a win over Hibs, of course) I will be beyond delighted. We are a very decent side, but perhaps not quite as good as the winning run suggests. I remain convinced that Clark should be dropped for Gordon, for a start. The man gives me the fear at any high ball.

...brutally bad ref/VAR combo decision on the Forrest penalty.

Oddly, not a single incorrect decision which worked against either Celtic or Hibs.

Something for us to add to our Honours List alongside the Tennants Sixes - Most Fucked Over by VAR Second Quarter 2023. Two missed penalties and one missed red card. Scottish Premiership: Review panel says 13 more VAR decisions incorrect - BBC Sport

There are some decent ones - I'm obviously a bit biased myself, but I think Laurie Dunsire and Jimmy Sandison do a good, fairly unbiased job on Hearts TV, and the Dee Tv guys were decent last week.

He is up there, but let is not forget that Kenny Miller still exists. Really brutally partisan commentary all round on Reds TV (which is to be expected to a degree, but I do prefer a tiny bit of sense amongst the slavering). The bit where one of them referred to Davor Zdravkovski as 'Davor Big long second name' was especially shit.

Presumably the totally brutal Dundee TV commentators will stop whining about never getting any decisions, given that soft as melted butter penalty?

Raging I've got to work on Sunday so won't be able to get to this one - I do like a new ground.

He's the kind of guy County should be going for - and perhaps he'd jump at the chance to take a step up now while his cachet is at a high, rather than wait for, say, Hibs in a few months, when his stock might potentially be a lot lower. ETA - Ah well, never mind. Cowie it is then.

At least he admits the topic (and by extension, his article) is 'Tedious, boring' as early as the second line, so readers know to move on, sharpish.

This, pretty much. The stick Tom English gets when...well, basically name any other useless ex-pro/brinaless talking head exists and talks regularly about the game up here always strikes me as a bit odd. Sure, he talks shite now and again, but a lot of the time he's accused of that, he's pretty obviously at it and just driving up his levels of engagement (which is, at least in part, his job). Also, if Warnock supported Brexit, he's a much bigger moron than English could ever aspire to be.

He'll blame everyone but himself and walk back into a job in League 2 in England, sadly.

We certainly weren't robbed in either game, no. But we weren't 'well beaten' either, imo.

Not sure about either of those tbh. We shat the bed at Pittodrie, but we were never wildly second best. And Rangers goal came out of nothing - I thought the game had 0-0 written all over it until then.

Compared to Goldson getting away with a full on karate kick for the first Rangers goal, it was a mere nothing (but yeah, a very, very soft penalty).

Really enjoyed the game. Two teams going for it for a change, and Dundee are a pleasure to watch - the best counter-attacking team in the League (based entirely on their performances against us). I'd have been raging to have that penalty given against us, too. Obviously I'd be a lot less complimentary if we'd lost.

TBH, and I CBA checking either, I think you do. Last week's comeback from 2-0 down felt like overcoming a bogie team, even though I'm sure we have beaten you more recently than the 6-2 game in the Championship.

Bloody hell, this is why you should never drink and post.

Not so much' abusing' as 'using to mean a different word altogether'. Aberdeen were just about the better team first half in that game, certainly, but not by very much. And that was before Hearts even bothered to turn up. FWIW, Dundee were absolutely clinical in their successful first half against us last week. I am fairly confident if they get into a 2-0 lead this time, we will not be coming back to win.

Well yes - these two short lines in the <quick count> five paragraph post covered that (already fairly comprehensively covered) point: It is simply factually inaccurate to call the existing league setup 'the SPL.' That is an undeniable fact, regardless of what your personal preference might be regarding the wording of the organisation's title. The rest though is real Old Man Shaking Fist at Clouds for No Obvious Reason stuff. But like I said, I like that sort of thing on here - it adds a bit of colour.

One of the best things about PnB is the truly odd, non-football related posts which sometimes pop up. This one is particularly odd, I have to say.

The Sun, apparently able to read Lawrence Shankland's mind, though the link to Shankland rejecting a new contract leads to a page saying no such thing - so maybe the Sun is just a scummy 'newspaper' full of Old Firm supporting halfwits?

As much of a clueless arsehole on Sportscene as he was, by all accounts, in the dressing room. A stupid man with moronic opinions, who shouldn't allowed within ten miles of a tv camera unless it's chasing him down the street after he's been charged with child neglect again.

At the game, it looked like a brilliant finish. On Sportscene, I was left wondering how the f**k Clark didn't save it. It was almost straight at him.
