Comfortable enough Three points after a difficult away trip in Europe.

I can say it now we’ve played. We dodged a very expensive bullet in Shankland! Hearts have made a huge error not cashing in when he was on fire in the run up to last januarys window.

I know this. I just like to highlight that the Old Firm greet about lack of domestic competition while they Hoover up all the cash. If they want serious competition then maybe they should look at ways of distributing the cash in a more even handed way.

After all this time, after all these arguments...

There was about 5,000 empty seats at Killie. They choose not to sell them, then any financial issues are theirs alone. When we played Well the other week, they said their team was put together for £300k. They maximise their earning potential from both of us, they could have much better teams. They choose not to. That’s their funeral. Every team benefits from a team being in the CL. I think the figure was £1.6m. That’s plenty.

One day it'll click for you.

See when we sell you those 5,000 seats, another 2,000 of the Killie fans who actually did attend yesterday would choose to stay at home instead. Maybe we should sell you their seats too! That'll solve everything!
 
Thought Killie were excellent yesterday btw. Before the game I was concerned we'd be onto a hiding but we were the better team on the day, but for a howler from McCrorie and not being clinical enough. Not a stat daft person, but an xG of 2.3 all from open play and 18 shots against a squad assembled from that amount of money is good going, McInnes got his tactics completely spot on.

The least said about the attention seeking cunts in the away end for the minute (or rather, 20 seconds) silence the better. Embarrassing.

I saw the Hatate challenge on Sportscene. I know we are conditioned to just accept this kind of thing when they are playing but that’s not even up for debate. As clear a Red card as you’ll see.

I did have a wee laugh at the ever impartial Beeb trying to even things up with the Killie player brushing his arm into the Celtic keepers chest. Why did the Keeper go down holding his face. Fucking pathetic and embarrassing.

Maybe we could bring in strict liability and actually punish clubs directly for their fan’s behaviour. Only then will you see things starting to improve.

If supporters thought their club was going to lose points / stand closures as a result of some attention seeking clown’s behaviour then self policing would kick in and that’s the only way to tackle the problems in our game!

Maybe then other clubs would be more accommodating. Magic is correct that half empty stadiums are not helping anybody and the more we can do to tackle that problem the better. Before you jump on me I want to see Rugby Park full of Killie fans, Dens full of Dundee fans , Easter Road burnt to the ground
 
I’ve got to applaud the Hearts support. At Ibrox last night their large away support had just burst into song when over the tannoy the veterans from Erskine Hospital were introduced and were going to lead the teams out and the song ‘ Sing For The Boys’ came on. They immediately stopped their song and applauded with some joining in the ‘Jimmy Spears’ song. A credit to their club and I just wish this got the headlines rather than the shameful scenes from Rugby park.

What about Idah getting elbowed in the face? Did you miss that?

Didn’t see it.

I only wanted to see the Hatate challenge and whilst watching the summarising of that they showed incident with Celtic keeper.

The keeper should have been booked for that. He's not even been touched and certainly not his face. Maeda had at least 2 fouls in the first half which were both worthy of a yellow card, but got off with both somehow. His foul on Kennedy in particular was a joke.

They've benefitted from so many big decisions against Killie over last few seasons - the cup semi final shove in injury time, Alastair Johnston playing basketball on his goal line, their opening goal at the end of last season when we had a man down with a head injury from an obvious foul.

The Hatate one is another to add to the ever growing list. I thought it was yellow from inside the ground, but I didn't have the benefit of VAR and having seen it back it's a very clear red.

I remember the penalty in Cup game. Pretty sure it was Willie Collum but I could be wrong

The Johnstone one was actually a World class save if it’s the one where he dived full and twisted in midair to save the ball on the line

I can’t understand how Hagis the other week can be a Red and Hatates not. Neither player is intentionally trying to injure opponent but both are high ( Hatates much higher) and late and are endangering opponent. Both clear Reds

Well it happened. Hatate was a booking. There wasn’t excessive force. There was with the elbow, deliberate, but, never mind that, just pile on to us. Just as well we know the form and don’t give a fuck as it lets us know how fucking sick of being utter shite themselves, they are. We move on.

Tasty tattle gets away with murder, Kyoto aswell, that **** should’ve been sent off for kicking out off the ball in semi final against Aberdeen, but instead he gets every decision, he’s a right little ****

I’d dock them 3 points every time they wave that terrorist supporting Palestine flag, keep politics and hate out of football
