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

How are the sales.of the Hearts tickets getting on, I think we are hoping / expecting 4.5k away fans for this time, if so , hats off big time, that would be an impressive following.
Raging I've got to work on Sunday so won't be able to get to this one - I do like a new ground.

I still think Rhys McCabe is one of the better candidates, but couldn't blame him if he would rather wait for a better gig to turn up
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.

Nick McPheat trying to be funny, explaining "tinpottery" and hastily throwing together some crowdwanking and stale tales - before us fans get to vote on the "Ten Biggest Clubs". Top quality licence-fee funded content!
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.

I think English is alright. Part of his remit must be to try and noise people up a bit and argue against what others say. The national broadcaster should be above that, but it's 2024 and we need to justify everything with clicks and 'impressions'. His tweet about Warnock being a brect supporter (which we could've all guessed anyway) I'm assuming was some sort of twitter wind up, I don't use twitter so I don't know.
He has a reasonable knowledge of the teams he's talking about though and does a bit of research, which is more than I could say for some of the ex pros they have on Sportsound.
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.2 -

The only good coming of this, is that Adams' is utterly setting fire to his managerial career in the process the longer this goes on.
He'll blame everyone but himself and walk back into a job in League 2 in England, sadly.

The OP said we were robbed in those games. I think the better team won on both occasions, even if the scores were marginal.
Likewise, a lot of games we've won have been marginal, but we've usually been the better team over the 90 minutes. I'd say Saturday was an exception to that.
We certainly weren't robbed in either game, no. But we weren't 'well beaten' either, imo.

We were well beaten at home to Rangers and at Pittodrie, even if it was only by a goal.
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.

That penalty would be up there as one of the worst decisions of the season pre-VAR, but now it feels like a weekly occurrence someone getting shafted by incompetent refs re-reffing games.
VAR needs binned.
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).

What a fkn game,credit to both teams.
Recon that’s the best Dundee side since the days of Ivo den Beaman and Claudio Cannigia.Fair play boys.
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.

Cba checking, but from memory, we have a decent record against Hearts, especially at home. 3 points and we're pushing for top 6.
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.

Usually found in the spam folder. Maybe if the SPFL had looked there you would've been saved from relegation along with the Partick and Stranraer.
Oh dear.
Thank you.
Bloody hell, this is why you should never drink and post.

I think you're abusing the word dominate somewhat.
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.0 -

It is related to football. The SPFL came into being in 2013, more than a decade ago. Some people wrongly call it the SPL, even now.
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.1 -

I think people wrongly conflate two separate issues here.
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.
It annoys me in the same way as the younger generation's usage of words and phrases such as 'could of' and 'should of.' 'Of' and 'have' are different words with entirely different meanings.
Don't get me started with the butchering of the English language, predominantly in various counties across England-shire, where abominations such as 'he were' and 'they was' are acceptable dialect variations. This, despite grammar being taught extensively and uniformly throughout childhood across the nation!
I get that language evolves over time and that new words and phrases will constantly be added, but I have to question the point of having formal education if we are simply going to resort to pandering to the misspelt crayon scribblings of the poorly educated. Let's encourage stupidity by accepting and even rewarding it!
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?

Charlie Mulgrew. Fucking hell.
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.

No it isn't
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.

Good shout. Also, he wasn't much of a player, but Ryan Edwards. And Craig Gordon is far better looking than Marshall.

Wonder if there will be be 8k empty home seats like there were on Tuesday.
Aye, it was a bit like looking across at the home end at Easter Road on Tuesday.
It was a minging night though (and fair play to the Dundee fans for pretty much filling their end, in spite of the weather and the lack of transport after the game).

Watched most of that. f**k me, Hibs are so naive. The gaps they leave, playing a midfield that lightweight, the refusal to switch from that formation, all of it. Just so much that could be quickly improved but isn't.
Yep, reminiscent of Robbie Neilson's Kuol-in-midfield line up at Tynecastle against Rangers.

Here’s the thing: by all accounts Derek Adams is thoroughly decent company off the pitch. I don’t really understand his press interaction either, and I assume he says the polar opposite on the training ground. A football version of Nixon’s madman theory.
Not by all accounts - the two people I know who are acquainted with Adams personally both say he's an absolute walloper away from football too. They both agree his dad's worse, though, tbf.

On the break Dundee looked pretty slick first half and we struggled with the big lad up front
Dundee's number 9 likes to feign a bad injury, eh? I counted three times he went down as though he'd been murdered, in spite of no or minimal contact, including one time where he lay on the ground rolling about for what seemed like about five minutes then finally got up and trotted back down field when it became obvious even to him that nobody was buying it.

Midfield is definitely the issue, we started last night with three who are essentially different shades of the same colour. I can see the logic behind it – crap weather meaning it was likely to be a battle. But it seems Lembikisa was the only real creative option in the first half (I wasn't there).
Definitely a contributing factor, and what saved us as much as Naismith's half time formation rejig was the forced replacement of Beni (who has often not look all interested since he came back in team) and Denholm with Forrest and Tait, both of whom were excellent and both of whom offered something different from Nieuwenhof.
My main hope going forward is that Halkett is never allowed to pass a ball forward ever again. I literally cannot recall more simple balls passed directly to opposition players in the final third than he managed last night.0

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.
