Celtic still have a better team than Rangers. However, they have a far, far worse manager.
We're hounding them both 5 nil.
I think if everyone was fit maybe, but Hatate and CCTV are massive. Welsh, Scales, Ralston and Bernabei isn't a real defence

I am looking forward to it. rangers for me are a better team than Celtic atm and on nearly as good a run as us, but they're not terrifying going forward and we can definitely cause them problems. We didn't really get to grips with them in midfield the last couple of games but Sima did a lot of the damage and I think you can play round Lundstram.

Wayne Foster was absolutely pish 95% of the time. Like @Darren said, Clark and Robertson was the business.

Draw Ht Hearts FT must be the safest bet on the coupon. Very dull first hour but when we went 424 we looked miles better. Pity wee Vargas never scored his volley, that was a great effort

I think most fans don't really care. Of course, most fans are cheek supporters, who claim to dislike VAR simply to further a sense of injustice towards their trophy-laden club.
Then there are the fans who use it as an excuse not to attend games, like those who say "I won't be back until the manager's gone." and then find some other excuse not to go once the man in charge has been punted.
Those who genuinely think VAR is bad enough for Scottish football to make the mildest of fuss are probably a small minority (a literal small minority, not an Old Firm small minority).
I don't know a single fan who likes it. The level of dislike varies certainly but I've genuinely met no-one irl who thinks it's worthwhile.
Those are match going fans, the ones I've seen online defend it are largely tv viewers.

Why do you think the panel has a better idea of which decisions have been "fucked" than the referees?Did i say they did? I don't see much on that list to disagree with tbh, but there's definitely things on that list that the refereeing teams have inarguably got wrong between them.
The point of the panel, there isn't one and it undermines the refereees, but doesn't mean that they've not correctly identified clear errors

The worat thing about this list of mistakes published, other than the fact it's clearly not definitive, is that these are obvious errors that our referees have had 2 or 3 attempts at and still fucked, which makes it worse than the position before VAR where they could only make an arse of it once.
It's no for fans benefit and we should have resisted it much more strongly than we did. We're stuck with it now and will just have to hope it evolves to a position where we're not spending 20% of a game checking whether someone has inadvertently brushed a cross with their arm.

The two penalties were obviously wrong calls.
Tbf the red card was in our favour, so not really fucked over.
13 admitted wrong calls is up massively from the 3 in the first round of games. So either they weren't honest with what was incorrect in the first round, or VAR is working worse. Either way it's a shite look.
There was a red card call that went against us in that list as well, Will Dennis on Oda at Rugby Park

Listen, people are entitled to their opinions but anyone who would take Brown, who has been absolutely shite for Scotland, over Shankland needs to grow up.
Shankland is playing unbelievably well atm. Him not going would be a joke

Tie of the round for me.
Hope our neighbours triumph over the maroon mob.
Jack Baird to “malky” Shankland early doors.
I would like to see a repeat of this image at the end of the game in the WDE.
All i can take from this is St Mirren have a tinpot rivalry with Morton.

When did we last start them both though?
Every time we've started them both we've been route 1 shite. The Ukraine playoff springs to mind.
Edit: that's a bit unfair. We were very good against England with them both. Terrible against Croatia but we also beat Austria away and played well.
When they've both played and we've gone route 1 it's been dismal.

We don't really have another way of playing. We have a fairly small team full of technically good players who work hard but can lack physicality and have very little quality out wide, so playing the way that's been successful recently was a better option than trying something completely new in such a big game. It was always going to be a tough ask though.
As you say, Morton will be a very different proposition. They can play some decent stuff too but will be much more aggressive and direct than Airdrie.
You're no kidding about them being small, i was expecting Willy Wonka to be in the dugout

Thought we played well though ww did look unusually vulnerable defensively. Nowt bringing big Frankie back won't sort. Lots of good performancrs but Nieuwenhof was outstanding
Airdrie play some neat stuff but it was a bit naive trying to outplay us. I expect Morton will be a lot more direct and physical so probably more of a battle there. We should still beat them right enough.

Can't really ask for a much better draw than that. Croatia have a habit of bouncing back when they look on the way down but they were really poor in qualifying and they've surely got a transitional phase coming up.
Portugal have some brilliant players, but they are quite flaky at times so you might catch them on an off night.
Will be gutted if we finish below Poland,they looked dire in qualifying

Robert Snodgrass got sent off against Wales for catching a boy trying to block a cross he got away.

Hearts player clean through.
McGowan wipes him out.
Linesman says offside.
VAR says offside.
McGowan booked.
Ref gets that spot on, if indeed he was offside which looked incredibly dodgy. It's not a red cause he's offside but you can't just boot players cause the flag's up.
Shanks is just a machine, what a boy

Hibs will be smelling blood given our form and I don't blame them. I'd like to see Kühn start, because Abada's general wing play has never impressed me. Not sure if Rodgers will drop Kyogo for Idah but I'd like to see the latter involved too. My main concern is Bernabei being allowed another opportunity to impersonate a footballer.
Celtic's form is 6 wins and a draw in the last 7.
Hibs have beat Forfar and Livvy since you last pumped them.
I don't think it's blood they'll be smelling

Was meaning on Twitter and that, which is why i mentioned them.
Seems like anytime Hearts go on a good run some pop up and act as if youre miles ahead of the rest of the league and should simply steamroller everyone. Then a loss comes, everyones shit and the manager should be sacked, and then they vanish.
Tbf that is pretty accurate

Some Hearts fans get really weird when they're winning games.
The inevitability of us winning 2-1 and Twitter etc., being filled with Hearts fans telling us we're one of the worst sides in the league, and that we should we play more like Dundee, is fun.
As far as i can see this thread is mainly St Johnstone fans giddy on beating Ross County predicting they'll win.
We should win, we might lose. Pretty much the same as most weeks in this league

Against the whole theme of the season up until now, I'm going into this one pretty confident of Saints coming away with at least a point. Compared to where we were, we look much more solid and for the first time in a long time, feels like we actually have options going forward, both in terms of personnel and formation.
Saints will likely start with one up top, probably Benji and get balls fired in behind the defence and let him run onto them and when he tires, bring Sidibeh on and let him do the same. Unless we go behind and Levein fires both on.
Odds on Shankland will score, so going for a 3-2 to Saints with Zander cocking up a standard cross to gift Saints a free header.
Hearts really seem to be clicking as a squad now and good for them for sticking with Naismith, starting to get the benefits now. Can't see anyone getting close to them in the table now, so in a little league of their own now for 3rd spot.
When was the last time St Johnstone scored 3 times in a game?

Looking forward to a midfield of Matt Smith, Dan Phillips, Max Kucheriavyi and Connor Smith being described as 7ft tall clogging machines by Hearts fans after this, tbh.
They might no be tall but both Phillips and Connor Smith very much are walking yellow cards

Jambos obviously not familiar with the work of Adama Sidibeh…
They will be.
I've literally never heard of him, so you're bang on up till now

I for one hope he can add a good number to his British record total of defeats as a manager
