Have a look at this Google Trends graph. It shows searches for Aberdeen manager, Jimmy Thelin over the last year. The peak comes in the week of 27 October to 2 November, during which time Aberdeen beat Newco, but lost 6-0 on the evening of 2 October to Celtic.
“Will Aberdeen be able to hold onto Jimmy” was asked, then things fell apart. They won next time out, but the 25 games after beating Dundee on 9 November brought 13 defeats and only five wins. Had the season started then, they would be bottom of the table.
The Scottish Cup has been a welcome distraction to fans who thought the good days were back, only to be humiliated by all and sundry. They meet tonight’s opponents, Celtic, in the final in just over a week. For now, Celtic will concern themselves with resting those who need it, and sharpening those who would benefit.
Aberdeen have work to do to finish above Dundee United, whom they meet on Saturday. They are not quite safely above St Mirren, although the Paisley side would need to win at Celtic Park if Aberdeen were to slip to sixth. Jimmy Thelin has a bit of work do to if he is to trouble a Google Trends graph again.

Things might be different up in the Ewe Camp
Going by the experience of Hibs and Saint Johnstone, the worst thing Aberdeen could do for their cup hopes would be to win tonight.
I think we’ll play a weakened team tonight and I wouldn’t be worried in the slightest were we to lose.
Is Maeda injured for tonight?
If this does not move you then you are already dead sadly.
I don’t know who this lovely Irish man is but if any of you do or even see him give him a hug ffs.

Nothing from you, Paul, on the brilliance of the Bloom Analytics’ ability to pinpoint Deek McInnes as the right (data-informed) man to restore the Hertz as yet dormant-to-untapped glories?
That said, any pish-stained drunk could have told you he was a likely candidate for the Hun-lite hierarchy (no offence to any resident or passing PSDs reading this).
Reminds me of that old quote attributed to Andrew Lang: “He uses data as a drunken man uses lamp posts – for support rather than for illumination.”
Why does he/she have to keep changing names? The minute they start spouting nonsense, we al know who it is.
But the foremost of all in the grim gap of reality
Will be Kelly,(18) the boy from the darkest room …😉
Good afternoon all from the Orchard Park in the sun drenched suburb of Giffnock. Give this shower a sound thrashing tonight Celtic!
RE. ra Hertz stuff. If uninterested scroll by.
During the season, after Naeclass was binned, I thought I saw (in the highlights programmes only obviously) a wee trend-for-the-better under Neil Critchley. I particularly noticed two things – first, the average age of the teams on match day dropped as Critchley introduced, and kept playing, younger guys from the squad. Not always successful, these young guys were gaining match-day experience from week to week.
Secondly I noticed a decline in the number of obvious ex-Huns in the team. Instead of using Hearts as a semi-casual retirement home for used up Huns (which has been the norm over there for years), Critchley actually got rid of the said ex-Huns and built a first team squad which had only ONE guy with an ex-Sevco connection, and he had been dumped out of that club at age 16.
OK, things didn’t work out for Critchley in the end, but at times they played decent football, were not known for the overly aggressive stuff which was part and parcel of the Naeclass Hearts, and who knows what might have happened next season when Critchley could have hoped to build on his work this season.
Now they’ve got McInnes, what are the chances of them reverting to Hun-Retirement-Mode? Bloom and data my jacksie.
Ave Ave
I do not understand why McInnes is rated as a manager, his teams are terrible to watch, he won a dead rubber against us after we had won the league and you would have thought he had won the CL, Hearts will continue being unable to win against Sevco for some reason.
Google trends?

Hi, Saint Stivs
Search

Came across my ticket stub of the 1988 Scottish Cup Final v Dundee Utd, 14th May, 37 years ago today. Price – £4.
A pint was about £1 in 1988 – so a ticket cost four pints. If the same applied today the cup final ticket should be £20. So are pint’s relatively cheaper now or are tickets overblown?
Dessy- yes indeed.
If Hibs and Dundee Utd can build on this year and Aberdeen can recapture some of their early season form, Hertz simply cant afford to gift the huns 3 or 4 wins per season if they are serious about challenging for second.
The appointment of Mcinnes would render their plan null-and-void before a ball is kicked.
Have they hot McInness or is he hanging on till the end of the season in case he gets a call from a team in Govan?
Not St. Anthony’s of course.

Daily record has a probable team up with 9 changes. How do they know?

All this looking at data and google trends and managers this and managers that, when we have a manager who just wins and brings us success year after year, yet still some people don’t give him the credit that he deserves. Brendan Rodgers is a top coach and when you listen to his press conferences, he listens very carefully to the questions that he is asked so that he can give a very thorough and professional answer. Don’t get me wrong, I was as pissed as the rest when he left, but when he came back to a lesser fan fare and said come back and see me in May, he did what he said he was going to do. I met the man himself last summer in the hotel in DC, and he talked to me as if he had known me all my life and asked questions to my 4 kids and my wife. They had just finished practice and my wife could see it meant the world to me. This success we are having is not going to last forever, so enjoy it while we can. Enjoy the likes of our manager, and players like CalMac and James Forrest, and even Tony R, because there are not too many coming through that have the longevity at our club that they do. I am sure that there are times they could have left or maybe had better offers somewhere else, but they have stayed, and everything they have said about our managers and coaches are always positive. They don’t look down at fact sheets or Bloom statistics, they just deal with the human element.
Proud to be a Celtic fan and proud of our team and staff. Enjoy them while we can.
Let’s go the hoops tonight.
Hail Hail.
Sean
RIP Jack McGinn

Excellent post
When the rumba rhythm starts to play
If McInnes gets the Hearts job I really despair for Scottish football.. really that’s the best they can come up with…?

“Trouble in Paradise!”
The Poles are waking up to the Ukroscam. As are the Irish, the French and many more.
Ordinary citizens denied basic supports, while Ukrainians are given every support.
It’s unjust, unsustainable, and ordinary Europeans are making that clear.

PS, When you have to go to an Irish journalist who is only allowed to speak freely in Russia. It kind of explains why everywhere in EU is a shambles apart from Europe`s biggest country. Russia.
Evening all.
An interesting selection from Brendan.
My only concern is, is there enough pace across the backline?
