You’re welcome lads

Why is Dykes still on the pitch? Has his uses, but not here.

Fully expecting 1 minute of stoppage time from these officials

How is that not a free kick?

That pitch invasion. Congratulations to County… but nah.

Midjourney. I think they’ve resumed their trial, but it’s paid if you want any of the advanced features. It doesn’t cope well with text yet and gets easily confused, as you can probably tell. For some stuff it’s actually incredible - I’m experimenting with a one month membership for some design related queries and some of the outputs when you give it enough detail are outstanding. Probably quite worrying for visual artists though. The new and ‘improved’ mascot: I actually quite like the shirt…

Shite performance, but I’m not going to dwell on it. It’s a kick up the arse, reminder against complacency and lulls the *** hordes into falsely believing that they’re in a good place for next season.

This is probably at risk of being moved to General Nonsense. Inspired by seeing it done for other sports, I thought I’d give it a go. And the results were hilariously mixed. Almost spat my drink out at ours Aberdeen Celtic Dundee United Hearts Hibs Kilmarnock Livingston Motherwell Rangers Ross County St Mirren St Johnstone

Watching the replay again and the backspin on the ball makes it seem a bit more controversial. You could definitely make a case for there being cover with the ball slowing down.

I thought it was the incorrect decision on first viewing but the sideline angle shows Maeda through on goal. It’s denying a goal scoring opportunity. Don’t like the rule personally and it’s harsh, but I also don’t think Hearts have that much to complain about. That said, had it not gone to VAR I’m not sure there would have been many complaints either.

As for the disallowed goal, it’s soft. But there is a clear push and because of that VAR is going to have a hard time overturning it, so I really don’t understand the furore from McCoist et al during the game. I might be frustrated if it was given against us, but mostly because it was totally needless. I also don’t understand how players and more importantly a manager can go mouthing off about a handball to the media afterwards when it’s clear they haven’t even bothered to review the incident in question.

It’s actually been a joy watching Scotland games on Viaplay recently. Rory Hamilton isn’t brilliant, but it’s been a lot better than Crocker and his false, overly forced excitement.

Only the plethora of absolute batterings in the seasons since you re-entered the league. Two of which have come since Ange took over.

If you described that game in a word it’d be ‘slapstick’. Awful stuff

Beautiful

Porteous has been immense

Fresh legs please

Unlucky. Have to take that chance

Book the c**t

Cheating p***k

Really shite from Hickey there. The kind of mistake that can turn momentum

This has been quite uninspiring

Midfield looks very static. Need more movement

Atmosphere weirdly nonexistent

I think in-city transport is really good in Germany. Your trams, U-bahns and S-bahns are great for the most part. Deutsche Bahn IC is so much worse than it used to be though. As you say, constant delays at Düsseldorf. I got stuck in Cologne for a night last year because of it. They did put me up for the night to be fair, but the hotel was a shithole.
