Think Wee Mikey's main point was that over the course of a 38 game season, they will not be a severe threat to us in the battle for 3rd. Hibs are far too inconsistent, and Aberdeen are more consistent, albeit consistently pish. We've got that in our locker too, but at the mid-way point of the season, we look a good bit ahead of both teams and hopefully get better in January.

 

As for the results against both them though, you're right to question. Bitterly disappointing that we've only taken 2 out of a possible 9 against them both so far. Hard to tell if that's because they've raised their game on those days or if we've got it all wrong.

 

 

Tbh, I think Aberdeen and Hibs will be 4th and 5th, games, between us should  be close. 

Hopefully we can win a few v them tho, our record like you say is a bit disappointing.

If we played these games now, I reckon the results may have been better. Over our last few games, RN has changed things when Plan A was clearly not working - and he deserves credit for that. If he had dome something similar in the hobos/sheep games, we may have got more points.

We have lost and drawn against Aberdeen this season, and drawn with Hibs, so what makes you come out with something like that?

 

There's absolutely nothing between the teams and we can all be utter dross on our day, which we have been in quite a few games this season.

There’s 7 and 9 points between the teams

Aberdeen striker Christian Ramirez has accused Ryan Porteous of intentionally kicking out at him during the Dons’ defeat at Easter Road on Wednesday night.

[Maroon Sailor]

See if you shine a torch through the right ear of Porteous do you think the light will come out of his left ear ?

Hopefully will be picked up by compliance officer, but to be honest, who knows what the criteria is.

Rightly or wrongly Porteous should be a marked man by refs now. There is now at least one incident involving him in every match. It’s such a regular occurrence the press seem to just skim over them now unless an opposing player or manager says something post match.

Just watched the Porteous kick out on the Aberdeen player. He meant it alright and should be taken to task. 

 

I'll make a prediction, based on my many years of watching football. Someone will 'do' him. In other words get him first to protect themselves. 

 

Of course it's much more difficult nowadays with all the cameras etc but someone will get him. Just a matter of time.

He seems to get particularly wound up against Rangers. May they should re-sign Terry Hurlock on a one match deal.

Celtic team last night:

 

• 29Bain
• 56Ralston
• 20Carter-Vickers
• 57Welsh
• 5Scales
• 6Bitton
• 73Moffat

• 42McGregor
• 18Rogic

• 11Abada

Substitutes

• 3Taylor
• 16McCarthy
• 30Shaw.
• 54Montgomery
• 65Hazard
• 88Juranovic

 

All recognisable players and certainly good enough to beat most in this division.

 

Not just recognisable but at least half of them are multi-million pound internationalists. The bleating over their injuries is nonsense - we had a much, much worse injury crisis under Levein - without the money to bring in 23 Japanese internationalists in January to solve it - and the media didn't cut us any slack. They have squllions in pounds in the bank and have spent squillions on their squad to be able to cope with missing players.

 

Big Ange has a bit of a bigger budget Stendel about him. Engaging character, admirable views on how football should be played but he seems married to one style of playing that simply won't work as much as he needs it to in Scotland.

Good that Porteous has been charged but really something needs to be done before he ends somebody’s career.

He says he will never change but he really needs to before that happens.

I agree. Hopefully this is the start of him getting picked up for his terrible tackles more often. Dangerous player. 

[DS98]

Now all we need is retrospective action for some of his and his wig-wearing team mates dives. Some of the play acting the boy does is cringeworthy. Boyle dives are just part and parcel of a Hibs game now but just about every set-piece situation, defending or attacking, you’ll see ‘Porto’ hit the deck. Embarrassing stuff from the so called hard man. I think some refs are already wise to it. Would be great to see the compliance officer grow a set and call out both these cheats.

Why Hurlock? Souness knew how to do a Hibs player.

Would be getting it tight in the media if he (Boyle) played for us. Guaranteed.

I see the Hobos have just rejected a £500k bid for their 'multi-million' winger Boyle

 

Not sure if it was for footballing reasons or to join the Saudi 'High Diving' Olympic team.

 

Could probably give Tom Daly a run for his money, but Ron must be choking that he is receiving such a high valuation for his star man!!

In a league, unless you are winning all your games, your position is always dependent on other teams results as well as your own. I’d prefer others not to get advantages.  

[King prawn]

If this were Motherwell I’d be more bothered but Aberdeen are closer to 11th than they are to us.

It will be interesting to see if DUndee really do have a 3-man bench.   2 of whom are allegedly goalies.  I mean .... its not like them to say one thing and then do the opposite, is it ?  😃
