And I just want to hold it together, How can I tell you we're getting better with time, And I'm on your side, I'm on your side

[Grant Houghton ⭐️6 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 JFT97 @ghchubby]

@eddiegibbs Could represent one of the greatest signings ever if we could get him back and involved in the coaching set up. Who better to mould age groups than the ultimate professional. Get it done and get it done quickly before Leeds or someone else does it

@eddiegibbs Nicely said Eddie. Thanks Arne, but this had to happen. Pressure now on those above to get the right person in. Slot taking the hit for some of their errors. They won’t get that luxury a second time.
Just looking forward to better football first and foremost. YNWA Arne

@footballontnt please instruct Darren Fletcher to take his page full of worthless stats and stick them up McCoist’s arse and just stick to commentating on what’s actually happening #FREAVL

[Grant Houghton ⭐️6 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 JFT97 @ghchubby]

@eddiegibbs Nicely summarised. Not a definite starter but a really useful addition to the squad and would be useful within the snr players mgmt group. Similar to Robbo.
But you can’t begrudge these guys wanting more playing time. So we wish them well and remember their contributions.

[Grant Houghton ⭐️6 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 JFT97 @ghchubby]

@eddiegibbs A difficult read but only because it rings very true. Nobody wants to hate Slot and it feels so unlike our fanbase to turn on a manager. Slot deserves to be thanked and then let go by FSG or it’s going to get nasty and nobody genuinely wants that

[Grant Houghton ⭐️6 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 JFT97 @ghchubby]

@eddiegibbs Tbh Celtic are the best side and would have won at a canter if they hadn’t attempted self sabotage via Rogers and Nancy. Feel like this was a once in a lifetime opportunity for Hearts and they ultimately came up short, injuries catching up at the end. It’s the hope that kills

[Grant Houghton ⭐️6 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 JFT97 @ghchubby]

@eddiegibbs Nicely put once again Eddie. Genuinely concerned about the rift between the fans and the players/manager. If he doesn’t go then this could get really, really toxic. Club are creating this by not acting quick enough. They need to act.

[Grant Houghton ⭐️6 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 JFT97 @ghchubby]

@TheRedmenTV Totally embarrassing. Rio making a mockery of Slot’s selection strategy. Why not give Wright some time, can’t be worse than Gakpo or Chiesa. Badly missing a genuine 6. Can’t believe Konate is in the French WC squad. Could go on and on. Season can’t finish quick enough

[Grant Houghton ⭐️6 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 JFT97 @ghchubby]

@TheRedmenTV @TheAnfieldWrap Scoreline flatters us. Another abject performance. Team is so unbalanced. Season can’t end soon enough. Has to be widespread changes in the summer but it won’t happen. Only positive is Rio but the fucking manager won’t use him

[Grant Houghton ⭐️6 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 JFT97 @ghchubby]

@eddiegibbs Good article Eddie. Lots of excellent points

[Grant Houghton ⭐️6 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 JFT97 @ghchubby]

@eddiegibbs this is the point I was making to colleagues at work today. If a defender crosses his arms across his chest and the ball hits the arm it’s not a penalty. Not a natural position but the body isn’t made bigger therefore no penalty. Last night is the same. Thoughts?

[Scotland’s Coefficient @scotlandscoeff1]

My take: the ball hitting a hand is not always a handball offence. You have to either

1.) deliberately touch the ball with your hand, or
2.) ball hits your hand/arm when it's made your body unnaturally bigger.

This isn't deliberate, and if the ball hits his hand - which is on his forehead in the middle of a normal footballing challenge - he hasn't made his body unnaturally bigger. Because the ball would have hit his head anyway, so his hand on his head does not make his body unnaturally bigger.

Furthermore, VAR can only recommend an on-field review for a clear and obvious error. There is only one camera angle available, which does not show that the referee has missed a clear and obvious error. We can't see clearly where the ball hits.

This is categorically not what VAR was brought in for, and it all needs ripped up in the summer. This is a really poor look for Scottish football, as you can see from the international condemnation online since the game.

You really have to feel for Hearts. Unless you're a Celtic fan of course, that must have been class. But if you're not a Celtic fan. Deary me. Could be a generation defining decision, never mind season defining!

[Grant Houghton ⭐️6 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 JFT97 @ghchubby]

@eddiegibbs Gutted for Hearts and Scottish football in general. The game needs a champion from outside of the toxic two. Does feel like it’s advantage Celtic especially when the referees/VAR appear to fall in favour of the big two more often than not.

[Grant Houghton ⭐️6 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 JFT97 @ghchubby]

@eddiegibbs What I would give for a Souness style character for our midfield today. Someone to set the standard and then let nobody drop below it. Call it leadership or just someone the others are terrified of getting on the wrong side of. Someone we can all unite behind

[Grant Houghton ⭐️6 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 JFT97 @ghchubby]

@eddiegibbs 100% agree with you. What concerned me most today was the lack of urgency or desire in the final 15 minutes to try and get a win. It was totally apathetic and I don’t think I’ve ever seen that at Anfield before, not in the last 15 years. Something very wrong

[Grant Houghton ⭐️6 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 JFT97 @ghchubby]

@TheAnfieldWrap Absolute shite (again). Just end the season now and ring the fucking changes

[Grant Houghton ⭐️6 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 JFT97 @ghchubby]

@eddiegibbs I think most of us have had enough now. Would be interested in hearing who you think the viable replacements are for Slots job and who you think is the best fit for us, based on what we have now and the limited potential for recruitment under FSG?

[Grant Houghton ⭐️6 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 JFT97 @ghchubby]

@eddiegibbs Against my better judgment I decided to watch this today. 30 mins and we’ve been dreadful. There is nothing positive in this performance, nothing! It’s painful to watch.

[Grant Houghton ⭐️6 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 JFT97 @ghchubby]

Wow, wow, wow!!! Best game I’ve seen in ages #PSGBAY

@Lfc_ola_ Gary McAllister

[Grant Houghton ⭐️6 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 JFT97 @ghchubby]

@eddiegibbs Nicely put Eddie. These results shouldn’t fool anyone. The performances continue to be way below par and we’re only in a position to snatch a CL spot on the back of others capitulation AND stealing 15 points from the first 5 games of the season.
