Well, we're truly established as the quintessential winner of royal british-competitions.

Shale: My heart does not qualify as shiny. I kill. Frequently, and not without pleasure.
Leliana: You had a difficult life. Deep down, at the center of your being, you are a good person. I believe that.
Shale: Even though I have never demonstrated this aspect? How peculiar.
Leliana: You aren't all stone, Shale. There is a person inside of you.
Shale: If so, it is because I ate it.
Back then, did you also play with 12 men?

Okay, we're back in Kindergarden. Pathetic trolling. Be better.
The best thing for Hearts is that the penalty gives them a ready made excuse for the pumping they were probably going to get anyway. Red card isn't even debatable and made it a cake walk.
But it's all a conspiracy, etc etc.

That already made you explode? Calm down, you might get banned, like Gollum and Guidetti should be...

Well, I saw your original Mafia-post, not the edit I'm calm. Done with blame-the-referee crap and all the cooked up conspiracies.
2 of the 3 big decisions were right. Brown might have gotten away with a number of niggly fouls though. Neilson set his team up along the 80's rule of "sorting them out" within the first 10 minutes. Didn't work.
Perhabs just a bit malty because of how thoroughly average we are. Even when helped by a numerical advantage over an lower-league opponent we aren't good. Capitalise on set-pieces. Not just this game, set-pieces must contribute around 60% of our goals.
All hail our xyz-loanees.

Fair enough, you can see I calmed down afterwards then Gollum was certainly not good, though, and while I agree that one can show Gomis red for that challenge, players get away with similar challenges every weekend in Scotland, and that's the background, too.
Still, Deila proved you wrong about the EL already and looks destined for a treble now. Some players also said that you will win the Europa League And Neilson is definitely doing a good job now, we had two let's just say unlucky games against you and didn't care about the Challenge Cup, but in the league we have the best points average in Europe thus far. It should also be considered that we have a rather long list of injuries since the last Derby, our skipper and the (up to then) league's top scorer among them.

That's a lamentable state but it doesn't change the lunacy of a two-footed challenge.
I don't know how we proceeded to the knockout stages. We were battered in each game. We'll still see Bitton benched after being the best performer today though.
Yeah, Neilson seems to be doing a hell of a job in tandem with Levein. Unrecognisable from last year. Good to see a great club working effectivly towards, if not reclaiming, than at least improvement...even if Rangers won

Yep, you still play Astra at home, though, don't you? Should be an easy win, from their performances in this group so far I'm not sure they are any better than us or Rangers
The Scottish Cup last 16 draw:
Queen of the South v St Johnstone
Rangers v Raith Rovers
Dundee v Celtic
Hibernian v Arbroath
Falkirk v Annan Athletic or Brechin City
Stranraer or Dunfermline Athletic v Dundee United
Partick Thistle v St Mirren or Inverness CT
Spartans v Berwick Rangers or Albion Rovers
Would be cracking to see a Lowland League team like Spartans in the quarter final

What a statement.

Barry Hearn says Scottish football must stop wallowing in self-pity in order to promote a more positive image of the sport and help it flourish. The sports promotion mogul was in Glasgow to talk at the first ever Scottish FA convention at Hampden, which looked at ways to grow the Scottish game when many feel it is in a period of sharp decline. A number of keynote speakers attended including the German FA general secretary Helmut Sandrock, FIFA social media manager Alex Stone and Scottish FA chief executive Stewart Regan.
Hearn, who claims to be the "best in the world" in his field, is involved in promoting boxing, snooker and darts, was also chairman of English side Leyton Orient for 19 years and he outlined his views on the game north of the border and how it could be improved.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
SPFL leader should be independent from influence of clubs; The founder and chairman of promotions company Matchroom Sport, Hearn felt that the current setup of the SPFL, where member clubs take decisions on all aspects of the game, was wrong.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Scottish football should consider bringing back the booze; Alcohol has been banned from Scottish football games since 1980 after violence at the Scottish Cup final.

....but I guess the whole nonsense surrounding Tynecastle is so much more newsworthy than Barry Hearns spot-on assessment.
Smacks of Joe Louis ignoring Jack Johnson's advice ahead of his fight with Schmeling.

Well, Hearn certainly has the self-belief himself he sees lacking in Scottish fitba
Also, it seems burning down Alloa should still be a viable option for Treva

He was obviously regarded important enough to be invited to the convention and outlining basic strategies with reasoning was basically all he was there for. It's a call-out for all the Ewan Murray's out there who piss on the scottish game. And whoever copy/pasted the bloody english league names. Eff this sycophantic pish.
Besides... "Worst SPL ever - no Hearts, Hibs, Rangers and Smelltick will have won the title by December" - Mausolos of Caria, this summer.
Poor Rangers. Reached a stage where it's merciful to put the dog down...there's no end for the cycle in sight, too.
