I've said it from when this nonsense started. I think dundee the spfl etc are trying to put us under as much pressure as possible Strachan works for both dundee and celtic. The aim get dens just playable enough to get the game on and hope we drop points..
Wild take

basically Dundee are in breach of obligations to ensure a playable surface but it looks like SPFL have pretty much full discretion to decide relevant sanctions or requirements. They really need to do something, unacceptable there’s been what, 5 postponed games this season?
*Edit, unsure how current the rules are but some bits of doc reference at least up to 2022.

Can’t remember a player for us in recent times with that same physicality plus pace and drive tbh - some parts of his game need a bit of refinement but can’t imagine him making it in PL yet and think we should try to pay the fee, reckon he’d go for a fair whack a year or two down the line especially if we can get another euro run

But he's not that player anymore where he's always attacking.
He doesn't have the legs to get uo and down the park the way he used to.
The first goal was nothing to do with him being too far forward and out of position.
His goal and assist record disagrees. He looked slow today but so did half the team out there - fair enough not a great performance but the guy delivers and has done all season.

Next season should we move Tav into the right of a midfield 3? This limits his defensive woes but allows for the positives still, assists and goals.
Nah think people suggesting this don’t get the set up with RBs and LBs that are attacking.

Same sort of comment Liverpool fans make about Alexander Arnold - much of it is just nature of attacking full backs

Class manager working with below class players. Got it wrong picking Lawrence but there must've been a reason for dropping Cantwell.
Wondered if Cantwell bit off the pace and wouldn’t finish the 90 mins. Great option to bring on when tired legs, thought his forward play bit poor but so much tracking back, closing down and interrupting them towards the end

I can’t remember the last time we played them and didn’t give up an absolute shocking goal .. doubled down today.
Jack Butland needs more attention for those first half saves. Could’ve been going in down 3 or 4
Agree actually though his positioning was a bit odd for their third but it did go low through legs so maybe unfair.
still made that great save for the header that was sure was a goal.

If that's not a pen then our second goal should stand. Same amount of contact.
It's a definite penalty. There is clear contact and that's all that matters. Nobody can guess if there is enough contact to make someone fall.
Think that’s my main point these daft VAR reviews - ruin the game, slow it down and take away the joy of it. Let the ref make the call and move on, drama was always part of the football.

Silva definetely went looking for it and made the most of it but it was a penalty.
Maybe aye but definitely would be raging if that was given against us as a foul

First reaction I thought Silva threw himself, but there was contact the guys leg is over his knee so even if Silva did go down easily, its still a penalty. Never hear Sutton moan when Kyogo does it, all the fucking time. And from what I remember, Sutton himself was pretty good at the old dive.
Aye he’s like a US shock jock though, loves the outrage so best ignoring his nonsense tbh.
thought it was soft but probably right call - if that penalty was given against us though I’d be fuming tbh.

Hopefully the final result doesn’t mask the utter fucking shit show of a first half. Serious questions need asked as to what happened. Tav specifically was the worst I’ve ever seen.
Massive result, and all is well, but we need to sort out this mental block that sees us shit the bed every time out against them.
Agree can see the wind was a nightmare but they coped and we shat it. How tav lost track of the first goal was ridiculous.
first half was grim we looked like a Ross county, absolutely no quality.
have to say though given the last 10 years, I thought we’d end up 3 or 4 down but credit to Clement for the whatever he said at half time, absolutely didn’t think we’d end up drawing.
defending for their third goal was ridiculous - too many people jogging back and letting folk on the ball just carry on.

What’s all the chat about soft Silva pen. I haven’t seen it?
Tbh didn’t think it was a penalty - but looks different from different angles - overall think VAR ruined the game, lost its flow (both for decision that went our way and one against)

Dunno about anyone else, but I aged about 10 fcukin years today
I genuinely think if I had the garmin on it’d be sending my emergency contacts messages saying I was in bother.

That starting 11 would make you greet
Still pumped Hibs though.
Honestly like a fever dream that we came 3rd to hearts and hibs in the championship.

I have to say that whilst money in UCL is better after last time I wouldn’t be disappointed with EL again - realistically we can hold our own, in UCL money had distorted things to the point where it’s depressing to be in it

Place is full of complete bell ends man. Digging us for nit getting into the quarters with a threadbare squad against teams who spend 100 million building squads.
They don't deserve to follow us
100% - numbers who stayed back to applaud the team yesterday show this is a minority view thankfully.
people forget just how shite we were before PC came in, and how many injuries we have.
-
Rooney and Giggs for man utd - they got a penalty late on sure after we got a 0-0 away at old Trafford

Brilliant post.
Yeah this - went toe to toe with a team with Di Maria and Otamendi and could’ve gone through - sure lots to learn but ultimately just impressed we did it, with that squad. Easy to forget where we were earlier in the season!
-
Disappointed but stepping back pretty unbelievable a mostly pretty poor squad riddled with injuries got this far and really didn’t look out of place tonight against benfica. Wee bit of luck away - PC unbelievable manager to achieve that.

Roofe - when fit and firing - was the best striker in Scotland.
Problem is..... It's all one being that when you are almost never fit and firing.
For >50% of his time at Rangers, a 40yr old me would have contributed just as much (i.e. absolutely fuck all).
That said, I'm unconvinced Roofe will ever get back to his best..... Or has the heart to even try.
Yeah agree - he also looks like he can’t really run, like he’d permanently hobbling - absolutely zero chance we offer him another contract.
-
Was pretty annoyed yesterday but if Clement is right that we had around 4xG to their <0xG it just shows how poor our forward line is really. The half time highlights featuring Morelos showed to me how much we miss a player like that (was often critical of his finishing but take it all back watching some of our current team!)

This - appears one of those situations where it’s so ridiculous whoever was instructed to draft the regs and people instructing (possibly reasonably!) didn’t envisage this ludicrous scenario being a possibility.
