What happened tonight?

Did the players have a bet for Celtic to win the title at Hearts..

Aberdeen were excellent and we were woeful. Only watched to 6 - 0 then had to pick someone up so didn't know till I came back that it finished 7! The season is falling apart.

Aye, yourself...............off the floor mate.......

It was a shocker and I did drown my sorrows later on, and am feeling very groggy today...

Blimey - the trip back for St Johnstone might be a bit quiet.

2 men sent off for fighting each other then losing in the final minute..

what I heard from the radio pundits who were at the game was......something happened (unclear) between Ricky Foster & Danny Swanson of Saints seconds before halftime and as they trotted off the park mouthing & gesturing at each other, Foster took a swing at Swanson...missed then slipped then Swanson aimed a kick at Foster's face but not sure if it connected...then apparently a large scale melee took place as everyone went up the tunnel.

As for Gers game yesterday...1-1 draw at home to Motherwell....not nearly good enough. Wholesale changes will be required during close season.

Saw that - even the Hamilton players were getting quite involved with one not exactly slow in coming forward to join in.

Celtic are winning the league today.

 

[SALTIRE]

Wow a 5 - 0 battering at Hearts, they are on way another level to the rest. Fudgie really has raised their standards this year. Congrats to him and Kolo who you got to love!

Even 2nd is a one horse race!

Well played Celtic on winning the league. No arguments...far and away the best team in Scotland.

 

[Leo]

Well, well....didn't see that coming....a three nil victory up at the sheep pen. To say I was surprised would be an understatement. We had a couple of excellent chances in the first half that really should have been put away but it wasn't to be. Basically an even stevens first 45 but Aberdeen upped the ante 2nd half and for a while came at us strongly but the defence held firm then.......................on 79 minutes Kenny Miller scored as good a goal as you will see this season....a shot from the corner of the 18 yard box with the outside of his boot which rocketed into the top left corner of the net. A minute later Miller got his 2nd when he too k advantage of a defensive error and slotted past Lewis then a couple of minutes later Dodoo ran from his own half and scored with a fine shot from the edge of the penalty box. Could have been four shortly afterwards when Dodoo hit the bar and Miller following up headed towards goal but it was kicked off the line. No reason for Gers fans to get carried away but it was a great result on the day nevertheless!

Aye that's a great win considering the form both teams have been in recently. Still a big gap to claw back on Aberdeen yet though.

Dundee are now hovering above the relegation places, I thought they were safe a few weeks back, jings!

Tbh...can't see them taking 2nd spot mate. Hope Dundee stay up....I do have a wee fondness for them.

Another bad result for Dundee Salty...0-2 at home to Accies.

Gers got a 2-0 home win against Partick in a run of the mill game. Nowt really to report.

It's not looking good for Dundee, hitting relegation form at the wrong stage of the season. Think a couple of wins would see them safe, but they can't buy a win just now.

 

[Leo]

Well seeing a pile of posts were deleted by some twat here is a brief resume of what occurred since Salty's post above. Aberdeen are still 2nd and into the Cup Final as are Celtic who gubbed Gers in the other semi and then a week later done us again. Dundee lost games but won at Motherwell...blah blah blah....

 

[Gulliball]

Pleased to see that the SFA have given Aberdeen a 51-49 split for the Cup Final. Was the only possible decision given that Celtic want "their" end and Aberdeen will sell out.

I am in Berwick today to see Edinburgh City celebrate staying in the SPFL in their first season up. Only 40 minutes on the train but technically my first ever away game in another country. Berwick need a point to guarentee staying up themselves, or hope Cowdenbeath don't win.

 

[SALTIRE]

Dundee grab another win by the skin of their teeth but still not quite out of the woods yet.

Congratulations to Arbroath for getting promoted. Always had a soft spot for them as we are always down there and the local chippie we love is Arbroath mad.

Yep, it will good for the Celtic fans, who actually put money into Scottish football by going to the games every week, to be disappointed not to get to the final whilst a large number of Aberdeen fans who are not regulars and probably only venture to games when it IS a final can have a day off from the shopping!

What an absolutely red rotten performance yesterday from Rangers at Firhill. This was literally worse than that of last week against Celtic. Partick played the better football but unfortunately for them they could only score once whereas Rangers managed to put the ball in the net twice the 2nd being in the last minute.... but to say they were lucky to walk away with three points would be an understatement.

Having said all that I was happy as fucking Larry....I had 50 quid on over 2.5 goals. Better late than never......

You seem to be lucky on that market mate! Well done on that at least.

Do you think this manager will get it right long term or can you see him being ousted next season?

Tbh Salty....I really don't know. I look forward seeing what moves in the transfer market he makes because that will make or break the season. No chance getting near the title but we really have to up our game and shake off the sheep from being the number 2 team....if that is achieved, then we can, depending on budget, 'try' and challenge Celtic.

Also had £30 on Arsenal to score at least 2 goals against Utd. The weekend was good to me.....

 

[Indian Dan]

Apparently we're after Archibald the Partick Thistle manager to take over at Swindon. Any good?

How did you work that one out, Man Utd are usually solid and Arsenal have been pish for months, also Wenger's record against Mourinho, I wouldn't have seen that coming at all, even if the latter was choosing a team full of kids.

Poor back four imo & I always feel Arsenal can score if it clicks....also just one of these feelings you get about a game.
