McGregor 7

Turnbull 5
Adaba 5
Edouard 6
Forrest 5
25 points or so. Was it close?
Naw, didn’t think so.

With all due respect your question is hardly worth answering…but for your satisfaction I will. Gordon apart, there are multiple goalkeepers better than Barkas and Bain….but they don’t play for us so why bring it up?
Hearts dude on Sky says bar would have given our goal….agreed
I would love to be in the vicinity of the Director’s box for the Dundee game, as I would inform them exactly what I think of their performance to date. I would probably be escorted out of the stadium.
Really don’t get the Taylor hate. Constant out ball, crossing a bit naff but rarely loses the ball other than over hit crosses (which seems a curse for so many celtic full backs). Set up a goal that should have stood and is up and down the line for 90 minutes solid.
Edouard 6
Whit????
Malone Bhoy
Think you missed a minus from the Taylor rating -utter pi*h
sky just discussing halliday tackle on calmac ..
they reckon it could have been a straight red
madden 10 yards away from it only gave foul ,no booking
One consolation is that I was listening to Hearts TV and not Sky. Said at H/T could not see where the goals were coming from, until Anthony scored. Terrific goal from great move disallowed, and did get to see the replay a couple of times, never offside. And as for the “foul” which led to the goal, well, Madden started to give them every time we made a challenge, and here is the key part, came away with the ball. Hearts got their tactics spot on, in part dictated by our possession, a la Midgieland, and had a good sub wide right late on, made our new bhoy look lightweight, much like our midfield generally. Only loanee I would have kept was Mo Ellynoussy, bit inconsistent but we could have use him in a game like this. On days like this…..
Bar….var
Ange needs to be looking at bringing in a coach. One that organise a side. We’re a shambles and we don’t have the coaching staff to change it. This shouldn’t come as a surprise given we’ve kept almost everything identical to last season.
Taylor’s the least of our problems
2 terrible decisions tonight. good goal chalked off and halliday tackle.
also very soft free kick for hearts goal and the free kick was taken 10 yards higher up
Certain red card tackle. but this is bony Scotland
Same old same old with Hun officials. Just makes our victories all the more impressive. Ange would never have been my first choice but I’d sooner watch his teams lose than some of Lenny’s scrape victories. He is taking our style back in the right direction and if we give him time and support we will be a happier group next summer. We need to hold our nerve till the end of the transfer window, get rid of those who don’t want to be here and bring in those that do. Hail hail and coybig. Xx
Night night y’all. Batten down the hatches, it’s going to be a long season. Looking forward to many more players coming in and playing.
Gerrybhoy
Did well when he dropped deep centrally and showed lots of good touches, played the midfield in on several occasions. Offered nothing in terms of being a number 9, because he’s not. But put in much more effort than midweek.
Markiebhoy
Could be proved wrong but I would imagine his stats would show him being one of the better players on the pitch tonight. Lots of fans with blind distain.

No idea what Hearts dude said.
The simple fact, for simple people, is that we let Craig Gordon do without having had
an acceptable replacement.
Now then, we spent approximately 5 Million spondulux on the Greek Tragedy.
How did that turn out?
Not bigly good, I would say.
Very BADLY
Oh…and I felt like a massive tool wen I asked my dealer the score…and she said “we got beat 2 -1″…and am giving fist pumping yes…and she’s saying Hearts won…and am like whit…I always thought you were a Hun (her hubby is a massive wan)…so having to apologise for all the negative thoughts I sent her way….cringe lol
Malone Bhoy
We need a striker that scores goals not one that runs about misplacing passes
we played some neat and tidy passing with good movement at times but eddy hasn’t had a shot at goal the last 2 games , he had a solitary header tonight with more back heals to no one . good to see J Kennedy has improved our set piece defending and that G Stracken has still got his laptop to instruct our new centre forward to play wide left.
The Board don’t have closed stadiums to shelter them this season. They should remember that.
Anyone pointing to Madhun tonight can point again later in the season. Maybe even later in the week.
All I need is a birthday tweet tomorrow from the club and it’ll almost be like last season never ended.

Virgil is a better CH than Bitton.
Bitton is our player….Virgil isn’t
Robertson is better than Taylor
Taylor plays for us, Roberson doesn’t
So what’s the point of talking about them?
Malone Bhoy
Thanks for the reply
Hearts played almost every ball down our left because no one was home.
Now that might be what he has been told to do, and if that is the case then the manager thinks that a team that can’t defend doesn’t ned a left back. The first goal comes from him being missing. Every other player is pulled left out of position and Ralston is left to cover 3 players. Watch it back.
Maybe Ange thinks we are fine at the back and can go forward at will, We’ll see how that goes,
People talking about Halliday red card tackle on McGregor. It was a red, but why on earth do we not do the following? McGregor should have stayed down, unmoving, the sign of the seriously hurt. The other players should have surrounded Madden, protesting. The first time would probably make no difference, but if you keep doing it, it is taking up camera time ( harder for TV to cut out minutes rather than seconds ) and increasing focus on the MIB ( and on Halliday ). The Italians and Spanish are accomplished at this. Play smart and respond. We are being cheated fir God’s sake.
how many £4m plus signings w have made that look like there was an extra 0 added by mistake
Boondock Saint – McBride?

I don’t disagree and the sooner we cash in the better.
But 6 is not a good rating.

felix natalis tomorrow…am positive you don’t feel as old as that number ;-))
Signing off for a while (back to lurkin)…this place is gonna be mental over the next few days ;-))
H.H.
Midway through the second half, I realised that I didn’t expect us to score a winner. Years of seeing us never beaten and getting late winners are a distant memory.
I suspect teams no longer fear us. They know how to set up and beat us.
I suspect we’ve a team that no longer expects to score late winners.
We’ve a mentality problem as well as huge weaknesses throughout the team.
I’m still at a loss as to how Bitton started tonight. No idea why we play Forrest on the left. A panic substitution after we go behind late on. Fitness problems, set piece shambles and no delivery from our full backs (bar a wonder goal). It’s all very familiar.

what’s the point of talking about them?
Well, I’d say that they left for a variety of reasons but that is not the point.
One left as a kid that we did not anticipate as a future asset and one was so strong that we
could never seriously keep him on board.
I have never been a fan of Bitton and his recent antics have not changed my mind on that.
The Craig Gordon issue is completely different. He was our guy and parsimoniously
we let him go. He is a much better keeper than the expensive plonkers now on our books.
That is very clear. Useless managerial decisions as per usual.
Sadly.
we are far to soft soft soft and have to waken up , the game is changing , fouls for obstruction are long gone we have to get cuter or we are going to get left behind ,, he who shuts or screams the loudest gets the decisions.
where do we go from here. hopefully not down to the lake i fear
shouts
celtic dawn
I always think make the tactics fit the players and not the other way round
Just felt a good vibe fae the past there..Aw Naw..bell bottom blues
Don’t no how to do the link….Hope he is cookin
4 out of back five aren’t good enough for the bench
Midfield is too lightweight
Eddie isn’t a centre forward
Forrest isn’t match fit and Abada is too young to carry the team though he shows glimpses of quality
That’s the hand we’ve been dealt so far, any team can score against us.
It’s a big rebuilding job we need 4 players in this week then 2 or 3 the following

—————–
Robbie Neilson was interviwed on Friday and watching him talk, you knew he was thinking that he had us beat.
No one in the SPL will be scared of us.
