@AberdeenFC Aye, but how many have Hearts sold???

[Ross Imray @alvin_imray]

@kennymacsport possible to debate why Jimmy Thelin isn’t in the running for MOTY but David Gray is?

Dons in 3rd with same points, a League Cup Semi Final and Scottish Cup Final already….and considering what a mess dons were in last season.

And by the way, I'm not bitter or anything. But:

Despite getting (back to back promotions) to get into League A, and then not getting automatically relegated - we're the only team that'll be playing in Nations League Quarter Finals or League A playoffs that's as low as Pot 3. We're also below Switzerland and Poland who have been relegated automatically.

But that's just the FIFA World Rankings, get over it?
Ok, but we've been shafted by the Nations League playoff spots too.

England, Wales, Northern Ireland and even San Marino (probably) were all in the Leagues below us and are all almost guaranteed a World Cup playoff place - even if they finish bottom of their World Cup qualifying group. We have to finish 2nd to get a playoff place.

In the Euro qualifying campaigns, it's the opposite -we'd almost be guaranteed a playoff place by virtue of being in League A, but it's a different system for this World Cup campaign. So there's been absolute no strategic benefit to Scotland being in League A just before a World Cup campaign. Impossible to plan this, but being in League A before a Euros campaign but getting relegated so we're in League B before the World Cup campaign gives us an infinite loop of maximising our chances at a 'backdoor' playoff spot for every campaign.

Lastly, in hindsight - that big stretch of games where we couldn't buy a win. If even one of the difficult friendlies (England, France, Netherlands) were changed for a game against a smaller nation and we won - we'd have been in Pot 2 for this World Cup draw. Hopefully the draw is kind to us in December. Assuming we go to a group of 4, something like Switzerland, Romania, Scotland and Latvia would be good.

First sentence was a lie.

The entire documentary is great, but this bit got me going again when I rewatched it the other day.

A wonderful tribute.

Literally 5 billion times better than these boring forced “live match reaction” streams everyone does. Nothing forced. No money on the line. Just a couple of lads trying to get the other one to lamp them for being a massive prick

Back the boys for 90/ 120 minutes tonight. There might well be nervy moments and spells where they are on top but we need to keep off their backs and stick with them.
Be the 12th man- let’s do this🔴⚪️

@maxrushden Why has Scotland been missed out? Hope it wasn’t in fear of bumping into @Barcajim3? #poachingAnge
