Winning the league is hard, or at least it should be. Aberdeen are finding that out as they unnecessarily dropped points on Saturday. Celtic have had it easy for so long we’ve forgotten a few truths of competition.
Sitting 6 points clear, and (again) confident of winning the league, we can constructively appreciate the job Derek McInnes has done at Pittodrie. They are very likely to come up short this season, but the gap between them and Celtic is not the chasm it used to be.
For years we discussed that what Scottish football really needs is teams like Aberdeen and Dundee United comfortably outperforming Motherwell and Inverness. No disrespect intended for the latter two, but Aberdeen have hugely better resources, if we are to receive a genuine challenge, it will come from there.
I was also delighted to see the 15k attendance at Pittodrie on Saturday, reflecting the bounce that has occurred at Tynestle this season. Figures like that will help Aberdeen (and Hearts) solidify. Both can make a profit at that level.
Progress isn’t linear, so don’t be surprised if Aberdeen or Hearts don’t leap forward next season, but the chances of them being overhauled by a smaller club is slight. The future looks healthier than the past.

Break a leg…
Best of luck on Thursday Kev, the recovery rates are improving all the time, you will be fine.
I well remember this day 35 years ago, when the Hunger Strike began.
A mixture of pride, anger, sadness & frustration.
In later years I was privileged to get a tour of The Maze prison and to visit the cell where Bobby died. That visit along with a visit To Auschwitz still haunts me.
Man’s inhumanity to man and Man’s courage and spirit to keep going through unbelievable torture, cruelty & suffering.
I know that many are still suffering in various Prisons & Locations all over the Globe, I pray for all of them, but as an Irish Republican I remember & pray for our own martyrs today.
KevJ….
Best wishes for Thursday!
Always in our prayers.
Keep it lit!

They certainly lost their mojo when Gene got chased.
Heyho,thanks for the clip. I feel a lot better for it already!
Blinking short track though.
BTW,
the song wasn’t a coded message to anyone on here!
Coincidentally, I’ve been listening to the Byrds the last couple of days. I bought the The Byrds Singles 1965 -67, on cassette as a 14 year old and that soundtracked a LOT of early morning paper deliveries.
She don’t care about time

I’m wondering if James Forrest will retract on the Thomas Rogic transfair? He had a Wee knee jerk reaction on that statement from the SMSM, a mistake that many made.
