I'll wait until next Sat 5pm before having a go at Hearts failing to reach top 6 split. 

 

OK, can breathe now. 

 

Can't see Critchley lasting past this summer. 3rd biggest spend not reaching top 6 or cup final won't go down well with the Gorgie faithful. 

 

Hoping for a St J win tomorrow, please 🙏.

 Got over the line in the end !

 

Probably got to hope for an Easter miracle on that one sadly .

[Super_horns]

Might get rather messy for St Johnstone !

 

How did they beat Celtic 1/0 the other week ?

[purpleronnie]

Lots of lads in the aberdeen support, I wonder what our away end would look like?

 

[purpleronnie]

They are helping the young fans in scotland, the opposite happening here.

I like this one. 

 

To be fair, it's an unwritten law at Hampden that any families or people not so keen on standing go to the main stand. 

 

The pleasing thing in your photo is the amount of young lads. I thought we had lost that generation.

Seems scotland are doing a lot to get it back, down here however.......

Neil Critchley sacked by Hearts .

Been a disappointing season so not surprised.

Rodgers spouting absolute toss about how difficult it is for Celtic to win things.

I've heard it all day from the manager, player's and fans. 

 

It's like a modern day miracle.....

 

13 titles from the last 14 and it's all down to the winning culture in the club.

 

Heard his interview today on Radio Scotland this afternoon and he actually thinks it's a badge of honour.

This is the same bloke who joined a club fresh from winning the league and reaching the Champions League quarter-finals (both of which he has never done) and claimed they were happy just to stay up.

In recent times, the only managers who really deserved respect were Alex Ferguson and Jim McLean.     

To beat both Celtic and Rangers over a whole league season .... that's some real achievement.

 

Talking of Jim McLean, it still makes me laugh when he hit that interviewer!

 

 

[CosbehFox]

Jock Wallace at Hampden vibes that. 

 

There's a tiny part of me considering going up Scotland on 10th May just cos I'm mad 

[Tommy Fresh]

Championship title decided tonight, you can watch Falkirk and Livingstons games, starting level on 70 points. Falkirk one down early on

[Super_horns]

Congratulations to Falkirk .

 

3-1 up .

[CWC1983]

Well done the Bairns. 

 

Welcome addition to the SPL, they play good football. 

 

In an ideal world Ayr meet Killie in the play offs, but more likely Livi v Ross County and I'd prefer County purely for the away day in the Highlands. 

 

 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Cracking game......go rangers

[Vacamion]

 

Seeing a fair bit of Adverse reaction to the Orcs TIFO from earlier "Take Aim Against The Rebel Scum".

 

 

You have to ask who at their club thought this was a good idea to run with.

 

I mean, it's not like they've **only just** let away fans back into the fixture, or that the Sectarian temperature is already at boiling point after the recent Kneecap stuff...

Hasn't the ground only got three stands? Is there a stadium criteria or is it all fine?

They are fine.   The view over Grangemouth (and the pong when the wind blows the wrong way) make it a unique match day experience.

 

Falkirk's former ground, Brockville (aka Shockville, it was truly awful ), failed the requirements years ago and they didn't get promoted because of it, but that waa then...

 

Given the state of some of the other clubs' grounds that have been allowed to compete in the SPL since then, the Falkirk Stadium is in no danger.

They genuinely don't seem to care or have little control over the ultra groups, one side passes blame, and they can pretty much do whatever they like.

This is the perfect example of why i walked away from supporting them all those years ago. 

 

People always just say "it's a small minority" when talking about the sectarian nonsense but it's not. The club lean into it and always have. This garbage, union jack embroidered home kits, orange away ones etc. They know their fanbase and they know it's not a "small minority."

We also acknowledge that the tifo displays prior to kick-off crossed a line and was unacceptable. Our approach to supporter displays has always been built on trust, with the responsibility placed on groups to exercise good judgement. "We will reflect on how these displays are managed and engage with supporter groups to ensure the right balance of trust, responsibility and oversight is maintained moving forward.."We will reflect on how these displays are managed and engage with supporter groups to ensure the right balance of trust, responsibility and oversight is maintained moving forward.

 

 

In other words we let them do whatever they wanted, and now we might check in every now again but they still can do whatever they want.

As pointed out already, all good. 

 

Artificial turf but it's meant to be decent compared to Livi and Kilmarnock. 

 

Average attendance 6kt this year which beats St J and Ross County, the only dark cloud in the horizon is Hearts might fancy their manager.

Yip, both OF clubs play to the fanbase's because they know as long as the sectarian card is played the £'s rolls in. 

 

When Rangers were in the lower leagues the top tier at  Parkhead was empty every week, so both clubs struggle to survive without the other.
