buster.

When you don't get punished for the goading at Ibrox, you get him doing the same at Hearts and now today. The SFA need to grow a set and give him a punishment that fits the crime and his long historical charge sheet.

At 3-0 down, I'll settle for the 5-5 and an end to this season. Now beginith the next chapter...............

He'll be busy tracking back when Barker comes on for Hibs

Crazy game that reminded me a bit of schools football. Better to have come back to 3-3 than be pegged back. StevieG will be getting reminded of his hey day

I'd say it's more of a guy who wants to make a name for himself in the media and you could say he's taken the route of least resistence,............. as well as being gratuitously controversial in a way that seems to make commercial sense, if nothing else.

Docherty seems to have been well and truly pushed to the side and become the option of last resort. Needs to be positive and come in for nest season raring to go.

Apparently was at training yesterday.

Hibs Starting XI Marciano, Whittaker, Hanlon, Ambrose, Stevenson, Slivka, McGinn, McGeouch, S Allan, MacLaren, Kamberi Subs - Dabrowski, Gray, Bartley, Swanson, L Allan, Barker, McGregor --------------- Glad that Boyle hasn't made it and that Barker is on the bench. They'll be looking to dominate the midfield and keep us on the backfoot.

That team gives me the fear.

Lennon generally gets a favourable and sympathetic press that doesn't accurately reflect or take into account his history. The same could be said of SFA disciplinnary panels. With that in mind, you need an appropriate filter when reading anything about him in the Scottish press and that is being objective.

Very rarely would you see a player in that situation actually start a competitive match. 90%+ of the time he'd be given XX minutes as a sub.

Good idea to present to the Daily Record for a follow-up. Goading the rest of Scottish football and basically saying 'bring it on'..............and then crying wolf if you get fouled is pathetic.

This team is mentally fragile and neither Murphy or Windass are the type of players who have the specific qualities to help such a team dig their way out of such a problem. When a team is in such a place, it needs the likes of a Ross McCrorie to stand-up in midfield and help lift the team. In other words, we need to prioritise signing a couple of players who can provide leadership.

I think Tom Boyd is still on the Celtic payroll in recent times and this type of rhetoric is used and placed for a simple reason, to place pressure on match officals and on the whole I think it tends to have an effect.

Murphy will be 29 in August so it'd be another player with next to no re-sale value and we'd be the club yet again, that pays the last transfer fee for a player and takes the heightened risk regards age/fitness. How many times do we need to go down this route and lose out before we make an effort to change the policy or get a better balance weighed toward younger signings?

Celebrations in Fife

Sounds like there has been a mega square-go in Cowdenbeath. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Cowdenbeath stay in the Senior League as it all goes Pete Tong for the Highlanders. Injury time saw 2 yellows cards and THREE reds for Cove Rangers.................

The Lesser spotted Ciftci has just scored his second senior goal in two years to put Motherwell in front against the Accies. At this rate, Rodgers will be calling him back.

The Blue Brazil have turned on the after burners and are now 3-2 in front, 15 minutes to go. County or Thistle, toss a coin. I think Livingston will fancy their chances against either.

Cowdenbeath v Cove Rangers in second leg of play-off for a Senior League berth seems to have been eventful. First leg was a goalless draw but it was 1-1 after 9 minutes today. Less than 10 minutes into the second half and it's now 2-2, the Blue Brazil just equalised. edit Ross County have just taken the lead at St.Johnstone and currently move up into the play-off spot with Thistle bottom. Long way to go.

I see Windass put on his twitter account that he trained yesterday.

The only number that really matters is the total points at the end of the column. A manager needs to gather as many points as possible in the way he deems best for the players he has to work with or can put together. As far as a league is concerned, it's consistency that is important and the most reliable way of going about that is making a priority of being solid at the back. You can also carry a threat middle to front if you have some quality and cohesion. Best example I can think of is the way Atletico Madrid go about their business under Diego Simeone. ------------------ With one game left here are the total points compared with those at the end of last season Killie 56 (41) +15 Hearts 49 (46) +3 Rangers 69 (67) +2 Aberdeen 70 (76) -6 Celtic 82 (106) -24 Points are the most important number but to win games of football you need to score goals and you'll find that Aberdeen and Celtic have conceded a similar amount of goals as last season but scored a lot less (Celtic are 33 down on last season and although they often score a barrelload against the sheep, they are still going to fall well short)....Aberdeen are 19 goals down/ we are 15 goals up.

Almost as comical as the proposed transfer exclusive regards Rangers after McGinn is the Daily Record pundit video analysing the story with a double act that look like a modern day 'Laurel & Hardy'. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/rangers-snatching-john-mcginn-see-12519968 You have to see them (Liam Bryce and Jonny McFarlane) sat together to appreciate it

I wouldn't know if I've not been able to successfully not portray the point I wanted to make I think I've probably got the flu.
