Scottish Football

That overhead kick was awesome but the goalie was useless.

 

Hope Hearts see this through even though they have King MoN!

For the good of scottish football Hearts need to the win league, imagine Celtic winning the league despite losing the most games out of the top three sides. Just imagine for the first time many lifetimes the SPL title will be won by a club outside Glasgow. 1985 the last time a team from outside Old firm won the league, that was Aberdeen. Fergie may have been manager then.

Everyone should consider that this Hearts team will get better. With Bloom’s ownership, this is only just starting. And his ownership of Union SG suggests this will be sustained over time as well

Want to see Partick Whistle back in the Scottish Premier League.

I'm more of a Patrick Bristle man myself

They're well ahead of schedule this year and I wouldn't be shocked to see a perceived slight regression next season because of that, especially with them juggling Europe.

 

Assuming Bloom's influence helps achieve a similar trajectory that Brighton and USG have seen then it really wouldn't surprise me to see them pull away and be seen as the dominant team in Scotland within 5 seasons. I do wonder if it'll actually kick Rangers and Celtic into gear a bit having the extra competition.

As a part time Hibs fan, I want Hearts to win the league. And I have been saying that if Celtic win, it’s a terrible reflection on Scottish football given how bad they have been for a large part of the season. 
 

However I am starting to come around to the sheer magic that MON is doing at Celtic. I know it’s a long long time ago, but what a guy! If he pulls this off it may well be his greatest career achievement of all time.

Bad news for Hearts.

Ruptured Achilles for both Halkett and Leonard.

[Scotch]

I was looking at the table. If Celtic draw and Hearts win tonight, we are in a position where Celtic would need to beat Hearts by a certain number of goals (depending on how big a margin Hearts beat Falkirk tonight) on the final day. 

 

So let's say that tonight,  Celtic draw and Hearts win by 1.... Celtic need to beat Hearts by 3 goals. 

Hearts win by 2... They need to beat them by 4 and so on....

Unfortunately for every potential goal a Celtic win goes up by its effectively double as you add one to them but take one away from Hearts.

 

Currently Hearts are on +32 and Celtic are on +29 but Celtic have scored more.

 

If tonight Hearts win by one and Celtic draw, Celtic need a two goal win v Hearts, Hearts win by 2 or 3 Celtic need a 3 goal win v Hearts

[Angus Scott]

I never thought this would happen but, at the moment, I have more interest in Scottish football than the boring, over-rated EPL.

Ok the standard of football is not great but it's a throwback to the old days of blood & thunder stuff & the atmospheres are great.

Desperately hoping that Hearts win it

In that scenario, Celtic beating Hearts by 2 goals would put them both on +31 and Hearts have the advantage on the head to head so the need to win by 3, no?

I thought it was goals scored after head to head but I could be wrong

 

Celtic will probably ruin our fun by beating Motherwell tonight anyway

Just had a look, it's points, goal difference THEN goals scored so you are right. In the scenario we where talking about, Celtic would only need to win by 2.

Surely everyone  wants Hearts to win the league.

It's like a mini Leicester story.

 

[Corky]

Gone under the radar naturally but what a job Neil McCann has performed at Kilmarnock. They were in real trouble when he was appointed and are now safe with a game to spare.

It's not "Mini" to them. 

 

I really hope they do it purely because we know how it would feel for them. 

[Scotch]

Maybe the skeptic in me but i can see Celtic getting a few dodgy calls tonight just to set up the final day showdown.

Not mini to them obviously  but it's not 5000/1 is it?

 

Great for them to break the Glasgow stronghold.

Good luck to em!

Motherwell lead!

[Corky]

This is why games should be played simultaneously.

[burleighfox]

Hearts look beyond nervous.

[Corky]

Goal for Hearts

[deejdeej]

Bullet header! Come on Hearts

[Corky]

2-0! What a noise.
