buster.

4 million here, 4 million there, splashing the cash in a crazy imaginary world Four million pounds seems to be the number this year

It's about learning from the past and going for a balance. A couple of experienced players who can provide leadership are very much needed but we need energy, legs, less propensity for time in the treatment room and on a business side, yes, we do need re-sale value on the majority of signings.

Four year deal for a 29 year old is probably a year (maybe two) too long but I guess it might have been one of the main reasons he chose to come to Ibrox.

Over a period of time, McInnes put an Aberdeen side together that had a degree of stability with a relative cutting edge, enough to be put the diddy teams to the sword consistently..........Whilst we have tried to take short-cuts and failed whether that be managerial or player recruitment. Gerrard needs sometime to build something. If we expect a footballing ACME kit to arrive in the summer where you add a drop of water and it turns into a Championship winning side, we'll be in for another disappointment.

We haven't always done it, last season we only scored 56. Prior to that (in top tier) you'd be comparing the current team against past teams that were full of International players. What is clear is that vast improvement is required, back to front.

I don't think you can look at why XX amount of goals were conceded without at least taking into consideration the other end of the pitch but thats just my opinion.

Salah and Firmino on a two season loan #ITK

Context being that we were highest goalscorers with 76 (56) and a positive GD of 26 (12).....(last season). Goals against 50 (44)....or in other words more or less the same prior to yesterdays game.

That particular 'rollercoaster' costs the public purse a lot of money and creates such an indignant reaction on one side of the fence that you'd think they would frown on actions that might encourage further reaction. The SFA need to come down on him hard this time or it'll be more of the same.

All other top six sides beat Celtic this season Hearts 4-0 Kilmarnock 1-0 Hibs 2-1 Aberdeen 0-1 One common theme amongst those games was that they weren't really at it on the day. You also have to add that their opposition very much were and kept to their script for the whole game. Unfortunately for us, they tend to raise their game when they play us but when they have shown weakness (tends to be in the games that have less riding on them), we haven't been able to take advantage, eg. Parkhead 0-0 game. A 39 point gap has been reduced to 12. That's a huge 27 points of a difference but we are only responsible for gaining 3 more points than last season. They're down 24 points but have picked up exactly the same against us (10 from 12).

I was replying to a post that already had.

We weren't unlucky that Goss didn't get sent off. The main decision today ended up being the penalty we didn't get for the blatant handball.

Sung by....... who funnily enough comes from a neighbour country of where the trolls live.

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.
