Semi Final: Rangers vs Hearts
Neiljb replied to topcat(The most tip top)'s topic in Domestic Cup Football
Hopefully Rangers 2-2 Benfica and extra time and they win on penalties and get propper steaming and we get a non-Hibee east coast referee. If the SFA have any on their books. All our injured players have miracle cures and that dead octopus that used to predict winners, comes back to life and predicts a Hearts win. I'm not holding my breath though. -
I wonder how many of Scott Brown's 126 domestic yellow cards would have been red cards in this new dawn of VAR? He had 3 straight reds which is very low for such an aggressive player. There are so many old pros moaning about VAR, but in my humble opinion it is the best change in football for more than 50 years. The arm/hand ball issue should be separate from the VAR debate. The water is muddy on that issue and it is a matter for the refs to deliver consistency on that.

The Terrible Journalism & Tom English Thread
Neiljb replied to Ludo*1's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I would measure size objectively by the numbers of the fan base. The stadium size and wealth if the owners are irrelevant imo. Unless they have a product that increases fan numbers. The table above looks very much that as representing a success table. Rather than club size. What is "biggest?" Success or club size? I can't see how it can be both? -
The Terrible Journalism & Tom English Thread
Neiljb replied to Ludo*1's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
It seems to me there is a distinction between biggest and most successful clubs. Both criteria can largely be measured objectively. Newcastle United are a huge club, with little success in terms of major honours. -
Nick Walsh is the ref here l think. Can we not just hand the tie to Rangers now? Save on the petrol.

Tynecastle released 15,500 last year, so it will be little bit more this year due to cutting the away allocations. So about 16,000ish The remaining 3500 will be taken up by the away section, hospitality seating and segregation measures.

Heart of Midlothian v Dundee United
Neiljb replied to Tony Wonder's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
These incidents are what VAR is for. Most people thought it was a reasonable, if hard callange in real time, including the ref. The VAR made sure the correct decision was made during the game when it mattered. Rather than the pundits in a studio saying it was a red, 4 hours later. -
Heart of Midlothian v Dundee United
Neiljb replied to Tony Wonder's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
The United keep gets his nails done quicker than the time it takes him for a goal kick IMHO. When his team are holding a lead obviously. I agree with the second yellow for the clapping, but Gino did nothing that the United players were getting away with beforehand in term of time-wasting. -
The P45 showdown. Hibs v Aberdeen.

Wonder if Goodwin will deliver his resignation speech on the telly after the game? -
I cannot fine a price for Aberdeen to go down? Fancy a fiver on that today.

Hearts vs Motherwell 6th November
Neiljb replied to topcat(The most tip top)'s topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Seems strange to build a team around a man like that? Number 8s should charge up and down the pitch making killer tackles and passes. He just falls over. -

Considering our budget l am pretty happy with the squad at present. A sold defending LB is top of the wish list though. -

Scots law (2008 Iain Peebles) and the anti-sectarian charity Nil by Mouth both disagree with you. Unlucky. -

Literally can be used for emphasis without being true. However with Roman Romanov's 1000 yard stare, you never know? -
Hearts (League leaders) v Celtic (also rans)
Neiljb replied to Romeo's topic in Domestic Cup Football
Regardless of whether the last 1000 or so sell it will be the biggest Hearts support for a very long time. AEK Athens possibly a bit more? But this will be much more atmospheric obviously. The league and the SFA should take note that Hampden is too small for some games. -

Capacity at present Celtic Park is 60,411 (wiki) Would take a bit of beating if we trump the 2001 crowd. -

Me too. With the exception of white or black puddings. They are better with vinegary brown sauce imho. -
