Hearts v Celtic :jos:

[Del-icious]

Starting getting too high in the second half and pressing the goalie and that for no reason. Always going to let those cunts pop it when you do that

Devlin and Ginnelly done well.

That's exactly how we stopped them playing though. Staying high on them all game pressured them enough that they didn't have free reign of Tynie but then they're always going to be lethal on the break. Don't think I'd criticise any player today, forrest looked lost when he came on though, nowhere near good enough to cause bother to teams at that level.

We scored 3, lost 2 players to injury and still got beat. It is what it is.

Delighted for shanks he needs to build on that hat trick, not a better team to score against to build some confidence and he's put 3 past them so hopefully gives him a massive lift because he needed it.

[Del-icious]

Should there not have been about 10 minutes added on there btw? Second half had 5 goals, a penalty, 7 subs and a couple of boys down with knocks - you'd expect at least 5 minutes for that in a non-VAR game

Must have been about 5 minutes of delays for the two VAR sessions on the second penalty alone?

Don't think we were scoring with another few minutes like, our race was well and truly run but they're going to have to sort the amount of times these checks are taking out of the game.

100%

Obv VAR goes in our favour today overall but it completely stops any quick restart in their tracks. Needs to be a lot quicker, why did the penalty have to be retaken?

2 Celtic boys and Gino were in the box before he hit it

[Del-icious]

Fair enough I suppose. Was happy enough the day with how it played out but know I'd be a seething mess if I was a Celtic fan with the way VAR played out today so not really looking forward to being on the wrong end of it

Thought we looked far more in control in the first half when we stayed compact. They only had 2 shots to our 6 in the first half.

That was the way we beat them at Tynie in the opening game last season.

Joe Hart getting middle aged boys behind the goals absolutely seething was DECENT, tbh

[pondlife]

Played well. 4 avoidable goals though. Worrying about the errors creeping into big Craig's game tbh

His kicking is getting worse too, if that's even possible!

[Del-icious]

Gordon needs a few games out.

Don't make the same mistake as we did with berra

Celtic's second offside goal was a prime example. Gordon was keen to get going whilst they were out of position but the game is held up whilst a meaningless VAR confirmation.

[Mikey]

Think Gordon must be carrying an injury. Looks awkward as fuck trying to kick the ball.

[Hank Scorpio]

He'll probably get a rest in midweek.

[Drederick Shanktum]

He's taking injections for his back before every game.

He gets injections before every game. The worry is we persist with him when he's aging and fucked with injuries.

I ken outfield and keeper is different but we seen with berra how quickly things can go south. Gordon will probably still turn up with the highlight reel saves but I feel last few weeks now he's letting us down a bit. Just doesn't look as strong as he once did for us.

I did think this season was likely going to be the last we could rely on him every week to turn up.

Those three must be on the watchlist, they've been at it for at least two seasons now.

Aye that's the one I'm thinking of too.

Doesn't feel like the game stops as much as this for every single incident in England, maybe pens etc get a second look but it feels a lot quicker down there. I ken they're saying give us months to sort it out but why were they not prepared for this coming in, VAR has been about for years now it's hardly an alien concept

Total heid's gone stuff like. That Ralston was bamming a boy up right in his face when they scored as well where I sit. Thought the boy was going to chin him  

I'd have been straight in, Malace at the Palace style

Kash just about fell over the boards giving that carter vickers the fingers, when he was getting the ball after the penalty

It took one game

McFadden and McGowan showing him the contempt he deserves

[Snake Plissken]

Missed the second half as I had to take the dug to training, was quite surprised to see we scored three in the end but not remotely shocked we conceded four.

I make that 20 goals conceded this month, that's relegation form

Things will pick up when the defence returns but that'll be after most of the meaningful games have come and gone.

[Mikey]

As good as Devlin was, that's some of the worst ball watching you'll ever see

Kio anaw. Pick someone up ya fanny.

[Floyd]

Kio just looks fucking useless to me, I'm genuinely hoping that I'm proved wrong but he just looks Mike's off the pace, contributes nothing and generally looks pish.

Money well spent.
