Contracts (generally) run to June 30. It's the end of the accouting year for football clubs and the (official) end of the season. That'll be why UEFA have said June 30 - anything after that opens up a whole new minefield.

As I understand it Budge can't actually challenge the decision itself in court, just sue for damages. FIFA don't let you take these things anywhere other than the Court of Arbitration for Sport. That said, if Hearts do go ahead with it they can suspend the SFA's FIFA membership - which means Scotland can't play. Which if you take it right back to the start, AKA Hearts being shite, is Craig Levein once again stopping us qualifying for an international tournament.

If we don't turn up it'll be a comfortable Aberdeen win. If we play well it'll be a narrow Aberdeen win.

We never beat Aberdeen at home (think that's 16 without a win?) so I thought I was resigned to the defeat but Killie made me hope. b*****ds. Thought Dyer should have put on an extra midfielder with about 20 mins to go as even though Aberdeen weren't getting shots on target it was clear where the pressure was. That said, we probably had the better chances second half even though Aberdeen had all of the play. When they went 2-1 up in extra-time I thought it was over, then Brophy comes up with the free-kick. He hit the post just after that with a shot that I thought was in from the moment it left his boot. Then we go 3-2 up in extra-time with four minutes to go. I was only half-joking when I said to my mate: "too soon". Findlay, who was superb up to that point, gave away an utterly stupid penalty and from then on it was concede again or lose the shoot-out. Can only imagine how glorious it must have been in that away end, so through gritted teeth fair play to the Dons who travelled on a Wednesday night. Must have all been worth it. I've now resigned myself to the fact that we will never beat Aberdeen at Rugby Park ever again, even if the club goes for another 150 years. By that point I'll be long dead, but I can't help but feel I'll be trapped in some sort of purgatory where the only thing I'm aware of is that Killie still can't beat Aberdeen.

Lassie and her boyfriend apparently out in Poland. Got pepper sprayed and battered but managed to get to a hospital. Only for the hospital staff to apparently be in on it and tie the boyfriend to a wheelchair and pepper spray him. Obviously then stitched her up and let her go though...

Thought we were unlucky to lose that, albeit we struggled to really test Marciano until that save at the end. Thought he had a good game actually in very difficult conditions, unlike the goalkeeper at the other end. Should have had a penalty for the foul on Del Fabro at the end but you win some you lose some. As others have said we don't have the depth to really change a game so while we had all the pressure in the second half it never really looked like Hibs were on the ropes. Absolutely refuse to believe Chris Burke is 36, thought he was outstanding today.

Honestly, when will we get the credit we're due for the Banter Years? Gerrard just about in tears at the end

We rule Gorgie #TB4

Love Tynecastle

That's M Night Shyamalan levels of twist right there

This British Airways pilot giving it a full "f**k. That."

What's your expertise in aviation? To be very clear that isn't sarcasm, genuinely interested.

Assume unless they're taking off or landing they'd be too high up to be affected. And US has apparently now told airlines not to fly over there.

Jesus this is big

Same old Alloa always inciting conflict in the Middle East

In all seriousness I imagine Holt would jump at the chance. Strange and disappointing decision on Alessio. Inherited a thin squad and was without his best defender for two months and we're still 5th with the best defensive record outside the OF.

Says man with the Confederate flag as his avatar and "Tory county" in his location

Fantastic performance today, totally in control throughout. Caveat that Hearts were dreadful, but I thought everyone in a Killie shirt got pass marks today. McKenzie never stopped running all day, El Makrini was taking up some brilliant positions and Gary Dicker absolutely strolled it once again - surely the most underrated player in the league? Special mention of course to Burke who has been fantastic for two seasons and was brilliant today. Felt for the lad Hickey as he was just getting roasted but a 17-year-old will have games like that and I'm sure it'll be a learning experience. Once we went 2-0 up it was game over, I'd hate to be a team chasing a deficit against us!

Surely all that's left now for Trump is to throw Giuliani under the bus? Say he went rogue and it was nothing to do with him. Which leaves Giuliani's only option to flip on Trump...

Haven't seen any replays of the Bruce red card. I thought at the time he got the ball, mate thought Long touched it away and got taken out. Seems from the comments here that people are still unsure so I guess it's just one of those that can go for you or against you depending on your luck. Thought we were decent considering. Motherwell deserved the win, but considering we played almost all of the game a man down I thought we gave a good showing. Looked decent on the ball and but for a great save from a deflected Brophy shot at the end we'd have got a point. Kirk Broadfoot moaned about all the work on shape but even with Johnson looking out of his depth and Dicker, who isn't a centre-back, in defence we restricted Motherwell to very few chances until the last 20 minutes or so when we tried to go for it a bit. Can see both teams competing for Europe, as befits half of #TB4

Killie win, Angelo to run out of the dugout and do an Adebayor-style knee slide in front of Broadfoot. (More likely Broadfoot winds up one of our lads so much they get sent off, then scores the winner and gives a GIRFUY to the East Stand)
