Not buying into this Rangers/Dundee result fucking us over patter.
We need to look after ourselves. If we can pick up a result against the OF in the last 5 games, then great. If we don't and finish 6th behind Dundee, then thems the breaks.
It feels like we may just be running out of steam towards the tail-end of the season. Hopefully we can pick up a few decent results to get ourselves over the line.
Either way, we've had another very good season. Hopefully we can round it off by finishing 5th.
That's how I'm looking at it. Dundee getting a point last night doesn't change a whole lot, although it will give them a bit of confidence.
It's been a good season by any measure, no matter what happens in the last 5 games, but i will be a bit passed off if we're pipped by Dundee.
Fair play to Dundee though, they've had a great season, if they finish 5th then they'll deserve to.

I thought Dundee were quite impressive tonight. We are going to need to be at our best to hold onto fifth
I suppose the other way of looking at it as that Rangers look no great shakes. I didn't see the game last night but the consensus seems to be that Dundee were worth a point, and Ross County were certainly worth all 3 on Sunday. If we can get at Rangers, then we can cause them problems. If we score first then there's every chance we can go on to win.
It would be fucking great if we could effectively end their title push.

While it's mildly insulting, it's also true.
We can earn the right to not be talked about like that by scoring more than one goal against either of the top two across an entire season.
100%
So this should add to the motivation to get a result.

I'd get this article up on the changing room wall before the Rangers games. Especially this bit.
They've chosen us as the easiest away game for Rangers. It would be brilliant if we rolled them over.

Rodgers will be feeling the pressure after that.

I've been pretty impressed with Clement for the most part since coming in, but his interview there was really poor. You wouldn't even have known who Rangers were playing. A young manager, has just got his sides first ever win against Rangers by out fighting them and showing some good composure in front of goal, and he couldn't even give them any credit.

7 games against them this season with 1 goal scored for us.
I expect to always get beat by them, but it would be nice to score the odd goal against them.
Last season, we beat Celtic and drew with them at Parkhead, also the cup game we were pretty unlucky. We gave Rangers a bit of a fright at Ibrox too.
This season we've played well against both in spells but, as you say, 1 goal against them.
This isn't a criticism of the team at all, really we should never have a hope of beating either of them given the gulf in resources. It's just difficult to see us taking anything from either of them when we play them next.

Hopefully our season doesn't just fizzle out. We've not really laid a glove on Celtic or Rangers this season, will likely need to go to Tynecastle and Dens, and McInnes seems to have Robinson's number. So, I'm not overly confident of picking up a lot of points.
Nothing will take away from it being another excellent season, but I'm not going to lie I'll be a bit passed off if Dundee end up above us.

After today's games it went something like this before I turned off "Comfortable win in the end for Celtic but it was nervy for a while. Bobby Madden, can you give us your thoughts on the penalty in last week's Rangers v Celtic game."

Why is there so much litter on the pitch?

Still expect Celtic to win this but we've been the better side so far. Just lack a cutting edge.

How the f**k is that not a booking?? Fuckin assault
The chances of a Celtic player being booked, at Parkhead, for their first foul must be close to nil.

No piece of technology is ever going to be 100% perfect, there are always going to be false positives and true negatives. The cameras are not continuous, so even if you up the frame rate you are never going to be absolutely certain on anything.
Which is one of the reasons why spending 3/4 mins to judge that a player is off by a couple of centimetres, is a nonsense.

Does anyone still wear Sambas other than when playing 5 a side football?
ETA - just seen the pair a Sunak was wearing. Apologies to any Samba wearers out there. I was thinking of Samba Super.
Samba Supers are great. In the days I was a Sub Club regular they were definitely the best trainers to withstand numerous nights out there.
Also good trainers for the weather in Scotland.

Having now seen the lines there's a little bit of me that thinks, fair play to the VAR officials who called it correctly without the lines.
I'm not convinced they could do so with any real certainty though. With the naked eye he does look, just, offside but we've seen a lot of decisions that with the naked eye seem one way or the other, only for the VAR lines to contradict.
We had a shout for a goal against Dundee that, with the naked eye seemed (at least to me) to have crossed the line. We were told then that there wasn't enough evidence to overrule the onfield decision - which is the right call in the circumstances. Seems they've changed that for this decision.

Nope, not for me.
If we insist of blowing an eye-watering wage on a keeper then I'd rather we tried to throw it at someone Luke Southwood or Benjamin Siegrest.
I'd be wary of giving a high wage to a guy that hasn't kicked a ball in two years.
I wonder if Robinson and Langfield feel that Urminsky is ready to stake a claim for the number 1 spot. Surely he doesn't want to be a number 2 all his days.

Anyone from relegated Ferranti Thistle worth a Top 6 regular, European sniffing club like ours having a look at? Or is that the kind of thing both Hearts & Hibs will be all over like flies round a shite?
I'd have taken Penrice but Hearts have already got him signed up.
Tete Yengi is another but I think we're well covered up front and I'm not sure that he's better than what we have.

From last season we lost;
Carson, Main, Shaughnessy, Gallagher, Tait. Who were all first team players - albeit only the first 2 were definite starters throughout the whole season.
I'm still hopeful that we'll see Gogic, Hemming and Kwon next season, but I'm pretty confident that Robinson will have decent replacements lined up for those leaving.

Aye, that "fact" about Gullis has been widely debunked as myth. He's skint, as are lot of the 2015/17/19 Tory intake, which is cited as big part of the reason a lot of Tory backbenchers are desperate to go to Dec/Jan before a GE is called.
I did a quick Google search as it seemed a lot for a moron like him to have made in that time, and all I could find was one tweet saying it.
He'll be out on his arse at the next election thankfully, I wonder how easy he'll find it to get back into teaching. I certainly wouldn't want him teaching kids.

Many years ago when I was a student we were all tight b*****ds who'd try to a save a quid here and there for a bottle of frosty jacks.
The boys I lived with, and I, used to take turns of nicking bog roll from the uni library. Walk in with an emptyish bag, and take the big industrial, sandpaper like stuff from the dispenser and put it in our bag.
One of the lads was a bit sheepish but we eventually convinced him it was his turn. Unbeknown to him, another of his mates had lifted a book off the shelf and stuck it in the front part of his bag so it would set the alarm off as he walked out.
To be fair to the woman, she put the toilet roll back in his bag after she found the book.

Toyosi's goal yesterday. What a transformed guy he is... stronger and more clinical.
If he can improve at the same rate as this season he will be a big asset.
I really hope we kick on in the play-offs.
Play offs?
Agree about Olusanya, his goal yesterday was excellent. He's been a really important player for us this season, every single aspect of his game has improved.
I said on the match thread that there aren't many players in the league who'd have scored that. He out muscled and out ran the Hearts defence, then a very composed finish. He almost made it look easy.

I think any season when we finish top six can be described as a good season, irrespective of when we pick up most of our points.
