    Well that's the point. At any point it could come out "actually this happened on that night." Should Hibs then have points deducted?

    None of the players admitted to the night out until the positive tests. It's not a stretch to suggest other players have been a bit creative with the truth, no?

    So let’s just not comment on anything in case we know every single fact under the sun, sounds like a great way to exist.

    Why would there be a points deduction?

    The SPFL can't just hand out a punishment which is not in the rulebook to set an example.

    Bear in mind Hibs players were out the same weekend. They were fortunate enough to not fail a test.

    4 players (2 of them that supposedly share a flat) and going for a pizza is a bit different to 8 boys going on a union street pub crawl.

    What are your views on Mark McNulty as a concept?

    Decent finish on him but I really doubt he’d ever score more than 10 goals in a season at this level, he did well with us during his first loan spell but most of his goals were penalties, really flattered to deceive last season.

    You’re both bang on, I don’t know why I added up 4 and counted to 5, 5 from next season, I’ll make myself a stronger coffee (and maybe go back to work)

    I was wondering how they were going to sort out the points this season for the 1 legged ties. This seems the fairest solution as it would've been unfair for the lower ranked countries in the qualifiers to lose out on half the available points. I don't know if it makes much sense to have the new system in place beyond the qualifiers though, unless the group stages were to be 3 games instead of 6. It makes more sense to me to revert back to 2 points for a win from the group stage onwards if it's no longer single legged ties.

    Yup, that’s only for the one legged ties, goes back to normal from the play off stage

  5. I believe the points are slightly different this year for one legged ties.

    W=3 D=2 & L=1, whereas previously it was W=2 D=1 & L=0

    These are obviously halved in the qualifying rounds.

    So Celtics win last night takes us to 1.5 points and with 5 teams in Europe that gives us 0.3 to kick off.

    We’ll probably find the 1 point for a loss will help lower nations slightly as it assumes effectively the team qualifying to win one game and draw the other when results where teams were knocked out were more often than not 2 x victories, especially against the lower nations.

  6. Tomorrow night on Sky Sports it’s the clash of the good natured clubs as the irresistible force of Hibernian take on the immovable object of Motherwell.

    5:30pm kick off is great because it allows me to hopefully be nice and pished by kick off time.

    For no reason other than surely we won’t win our first 4 games on the bounce I’m saying a draw which wouldn’t be the end of the world tbf. 

    Stephen O’Donnell likely to go straight in? 
    Will the best 2 forwards in the world continue to cause havoc?

    Keep scrolling to find out.

    Club coverage is always going to be a bit naff but at least its Hibs naff.  Tanner wasn't too bad, but when he corrected "David Gray" to "Sir David Gray", while entirely correct, seemed a bit forced.  

    I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to the Motherwell game for more premium quality output. 

    Tanner is a fanny imo, he kept getting information wrong, clearly hadn’t done any research and just came across as a bit of a tool. 

    Each to their own but it wasn’t great for me.
