I know alot of folk don't agree with me but I think Ian Black is a player. Alway's gives his all, never hides,not afraid to put the boot in, pings the ball about the park well and has a goal in him.

Cannot argue with most of that.

But ref lost the plot way earlier than the Hearts penalty, IMO.

Barr, the Hearts number 5 had 7 fouls before he eventually got a yellow - thought he was Boogie in disguise

And Black the hatchet thug got away with booting anybody and no yellow, again.

That and not giving the penalty for Jig get flattened by not one but 2 Hearts players in the box....

But overall, whilst I do not think we did enough to win, I do not think Hearts deserved anything out the game, they were very poor.

i think black is no more than a hatchet man

saying that he took his goal well

Black is a disgusting player.

Shame coz he does show glimpses of ability but it's completely outweighed by how much of a thug he is. Vile wee guy.

Black is a tidy wee player, can't question that. McCabe impressed me as well, actually has a decent dead ball delivery which is something we haven't had for years ( since Arteta). Perry looked a bit uncomfortable at right back, I would much prefer him at centre half next to Bocanegra. Little was ok, the type of threat we have missed from midfield since Naismith was injured (obviously not at the same level). Kerkar also impressed me, surprisingly, seems pretty skillful and has a half decent cross on him.

i think the jig penalty claim(s) and the hearts penalty are signs of how poor refereeing standards have become, there is no consistency.

i just wonder if we should be getting the crayons oot?

Henry- don't worry, the "dossier" is being prepared.

After all, all we want is clarification and transparency....

who do you think will be offski today?

reports on friday that 11 would go, yet reports at the weekend say 8??

That and not giving the penalty for Jig get flattened by not one but 2 Hearts players in the box....

Away and have a look at yourself...you kants have become that accustomed to divers, that you cannot tell the diffo anymore

accustomed to divers

i give you, tony stokes

Ref was a joke,ruined the game with that laughable Hearts pen

Black's goal

Goian proving again he's becoming more and more of a liability. I'm beginning to think he'd be my first out the door

Naismith
McCulloch
Broadfoot
Lafferty

TCD i remeber agent Mowbray defending McGeady's dive against Hibs, he was tired after his run and fell doon

My list who I think (not who I would want, but who I THINK) are offski today:

Lafferty
Alexander
Papac
Aluko
Edu
Healy
Bedoya
Fleck
Ortiz
Bartley

Does not get us anywhere near £1m saved in wages per month.

Hopefully, some of the supposed purchasers will "step up & pay" to keep some of the better players, rather than having to start from scratch in the summer.

" i remember "...yeah sure.I was trying to deal with present squads.

All Mowbray asked was..." What advantage was McGeady trying to gain at the half way line next to the touchline?"

Anticipating the challenge is exhausting work,Henry

DC

that was pretty much who i was thinking although i think Goian and Broadfoot could be in the firing line as well

Goian is one ugly cant

ok present squad TCD

Stokes
Kayal

are all good at anticipating the challenge

The refs are just horrendous now. They make really poor decisions in every game, regardless of who is playing.

Goian

Alexander
Kerkar
Celik
Little

Are probably the most likely candidates for redundancies among the playing staff.

Durrant, Neil Murray, One of Alan Main or Jim Stewart, as the most likely candidates on the back room staff.

I feel sorry for the lad Celik. Disgrace getting him in when Whyte obv knew what was happening.

Perry has always looked comfy at cb for me.

I thought he looked a bit exposed at the weekend from what I saw.

diving???

what punishment did blackman get for diving and holding his face?

will vincent play fair and haul blackman up for simulation, or does it depend who the black man plays for?
