Haha, So it’s about Aberdeen and no one can question / reply negatively to your opinion, brilliant, way to go.
Your too much of a softy,what was even narky, just pointing out that McKenna is certainly a player that will develop, is still young and has a great future in front of him.

Have a good night and don’t get yourself upset.

I never said anything close to that.

Just two little opinions I made, Simoid made the same point at the Killie game, and you get all upset, narky, make daft points and make personal jibes.

Maybe try to discuss the point without it sounding like you're having a strop?

Someone at Celtic sees something in McKenna if they were making multi million pound bids for him in the summer. Unless Celtic were desperate for centre halves which is also a distinct possibility.

Desperate for defenders. By that stage Boyata also looked gone after spitting the dummy and cover was very short. Hendry doesn't look up to much at all either.

The threads about McKenna going were pretty much 100% firmly no. It didn't seem anyone was wanting to even give him a chance.

Let's see how he gets on. I've seen him play a few times for Aberdeen and for Scotland and I'm not seeing it yet. He is only 22, so maybe something is there.

Aberdeen must feel there is if they could afford to knock back the reported £3m bids.

Your even arguing with yourself

Where have I argued with myself?

You're arguing, but not making any sense.

It does sounds as if the Hearts' bubble has properly burst. Listened to the reports on the radio and hear St Mirren were by far the better team.

Hibs dropping more points as well. The Edinburgh teams have lost their momentum.

What's Aberdeen's record with Motherwell like? It feels like Motherwell have the habit of beating them. Sounded like a right thumping today.

Kille and St Johnstone drawing has just allowed Celtic and Rangers to move away.

I think the season will be just how long Rangers can keep up the chase now.

A lot of goals to see on Sportscene tomorrow.

Aye. Losing a two goal lead to anyone is bad, but to Dundee is just criminal.

It doesn't sound good.

The early open league is closing down now. 10 minutes until the highlights and I've hardly seen anything yet.

Will be interesting to see if the BBC pick up on Morelos’ booking for dissent.

Some say - he’s a muppet and got another stupid booking for dissent.

Others say - Morelos has bought a yellow card so he got a suspension out of the way for the important games later in December.

You're both right. Not good for both Edinburgh clubs.

Lennon is as superb as he is frustrating. Constantly changing squads and a lack of consistency frustrates. Havng said that, Hibs put out arguably their strongest team on Saturday. Should have been three easy points.

They talked about his ill-disciplined and how he needs to stamp that out of his game. They never actually showed the incident.

Aberdeen looked really slack at the back. The first goal all the defenders just casually jogged back after the bad McGinn pass. They can't play like that next weekend.

Hearts looked ropey too. Some first goal for St Mirren. Hearts haven't even scored a goal in 5 games. Their good start is hiding just how bad the slump is.

On the topic of handball having to be intentional for a penalty. What about the Hamilton one? One week leading with your feet to make a block is a penalty and a sending off, next week leading with your arm and blatantly blocking the ball is nothing. The ref was about 8 yards away.

Mistakes do happen, but how far does the opinion of what's intentional go?

[Strocky]

I see the SFA have finally acted on the outburst from Rangers re Wille Collum

The charges against Rangers include:

Criticising the decision and/or performance of a match official
Bringing the game into disrepute
Failing to act in the best interest of the game
Failing to observe the principles of loyalty, integrity and sportsmanship
Failing to keep confidential information or documentation relating to proceedings

[simoid]

Oh good, another interesting sideshow. I was almost fed up of discussing football

Not sure what Rangers’ play is here. Trying to further highlight Collum’s error against St Mirren, or go wider and deeper than that...?

[Terzo123]

Collum is incompetent, but so was The Rangers media release in response.

I think most teams in the league have been subject to substandard displays from both

Definaitly rangers should “go wider and deeper” they don’t have enough court battles and legal bills at the moment!

Ref Strike?
Foreign refs?
Brexit?
League Abandoned?
Claim moral SPL champions?

[simoid]

Perhaps looking to have a platform for a mighty public whinge about refs sending Rangers players off multiple times, in their view and in some cases the view of the SFA, without justification.

Big night for Scotish football tonight!

Another one for you to “whinge’ about no doubt?

[Terzo123]

To be fair, I didn't think it was a second yellow.
