    There was two penalty shouts,first one Balogun on the deck hits his arm stopping Kyogo getting his shot away,second one straight after sevco score Kyogo is played through by Ralston,he takes it passed McCrorie and McCrorie takes him clean out stonewall-er,maybe you were still celebrating just like the ref.

    Neither of them were remotely close to being penalties

    I don't really think he had any great saves. The one he tipped over the bar was a good stop, but the others were all saves any competent keeper would make.

    United never really troubled us in a real way.

    Just because he's much better than the other goalies doesn't mean we should take him for granted.  He'd have probably saved big Gnando's goal for example.

    But aye, nothing breathtaking but several good saves

    I think English people tend to assume that with the obvious exception of Manchester the “United” suffix means that there’s only one club in town so it can be dropped for Newcastle, Leeds, West Ham, Scunthorpe, Rotherham etc..

    Maybe it’s Dundee fans who should be offended by them forgetting there’s another team in Dundee 

    There's only one team in West Ham.

    I think you’re wrong on the game as a whole. The second half in particular I thought was very enjoyable. 

    Not casting stones at hearts either but no way were we playing for a draw at the end, even if we didn’t create too many clear cut chances. 

    I thought the game had a lot of hard work and you couldn't fault anyone for effort but there was very little cutting edge from either side.  Both teams centre halfs were the best players on the pitch.

    Aberdeen pushed for a winner at the end but got nowhere near actually getting one.  The first hour they had one decent chance, on a counter attack

    There was only 1 team trying to win that game in reality.

    Hearts, for all their large home support have not recruited particularly well. 
    Aberdeen have other things going on at the moment and are in a massive transition, yet were far the more likelier side to win that game without ever being brilliant.

    Big disappointments for me today were Lewis Ferguson and Christian Ramirez. Expect a lot better from them in possession. Never imposed themselves against their opponent.

    I’m definitely not a fan of Scott Brown, feel he’s past his best, but today he was by far the best central midfielder on the pitch. 
    Mention for Dean Campbell as well, in from the cold and had a good half.

    What an absolutely ridiculous and stupid penalty to give away. No threat to goal, a bit like Hearts all day. A crazy gift of an unearned goal.

    A pretty one-eyed view of a game with barely a chance in it.

    Not really sure how Aberdeen were trying to win it by playing 10 behind the ball until going a goal down either.

    ............and the press release isnt complete without yet another bout of "Budgeism"

    “The 30th August will be a truly momentous occasion. It is the day we deliver on what we set out to achieve; the day Hearts becomes the largest fan-owned football club in the UK.  So many said it could never be done. Well, together we have done it. Thank you all.  Now, let’s go on to achieve even more.”

    Who Ann?

    Exactly who said "it could never be done"?

    Answer? Pretty much naebody.

    Well done Hearts fans, if nothing else you will at least be rid of that auld daftie and her silly statements.

    We get to do them on rotation now...I'm pencilled in for next ....March!

    Ben Woodburn has agreed to sign on loan from Liverpool until January. He hasn't set the heather alight in his previous loan spells but he was quite impressive in pre-season by all accounts and was on the bench for them at the weekend.

    Very much on board with this but also dreading him signing for Rangers in January of he ends up being good.

    It is better to have loved and lost than to watch 9 at the back again

    Obviously they only started rigging the draw in the last ten years!

    Actually, it'd probably be more plausible for the rigging, if any, to have taken place in the mid 20th century rather than nowadays.

    On that - I had a look at the numbers on Scottish Cup semis involving both Rangers and Celtic from the first time Celtic entered through to 1992/93 (when they were drawn together, to many raised eyebrows)

    Basically the figures prior to WW2 were 8 times kept apart to 4 drawn together.  Basically exactly what you'd expect probability wise.

    Post WW2 -  Between 1950 and 1993 they were drawn together twice, bookending a quite spectacularly fortunate run of 14 consecutive times they were kept apart.  

    It's fairly likely that there was some chicanery, especially 60s and 70s as the game became more reliant on those 2 to fill Hampden

  9. I'm no really on the 'Celtic were magnificent' train after that - it was so ridiculously defensive from us in the first half it played into their strengths without testing their obvious weaknesses.  Yes they had some good movement but even the goals were two horrorshows at the back rather than anything brilliant.

    They were still better than us after ht, but it was a far more even contest and they looked decidedlu uncomfortable under even gentle pressure.  Early days for Starfelt, but he looks, to me anyway, absolutely shite.

    We got ourselves in this position by not doing the job against Inverness - always likely to lose today.
