TBF (and I hate to be fair to Sportscene), as the first goal didn't impact the overall result, there was no real need to cover it in the time allotted.

I agree that the prices are too high. On the other hand, I'm not sure what the answer is, as the majority of income for Scottish clubs (including ourselves) is gate money. If you drop the prices, the number of extra punters you need to bring in to make up the difference is significant. The other option is cut expenditure, but that brings its own set of challenges given how tight budgets are these days. In an ideal world, we could bring in extra cash from better sponsorship and TV deals, but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

The comments I've heard from Craigan is that he's definitely a good footballer, but sometimes lacked the confidence to get as many goals as he should. Hopefully those goals will come - although it's not as easy when you're out on the wing.

I thought the O'Dea move had happened weeks ago. The announcement certainly wasn't news. I guess he must have been working his notice.

The great thing about Wullie P is that, when you look at the highlights on youtube, he's still as good as I remember. Which isn't always the case when you reminisce wearing C&A tinted spcs.

I'm still waiting to hear the story behind Jake Carroll never going to play for us.

Looking at the Norwich and Celtic games today, I know who I'd rather be playing for.

Polworth.

A wee bit harder than it might have been, but even when Hearts are struggling they are still capable of making it difficult to win at Tynecastle. Given how we are often off the pace after an international break, very happy with the result.

High press has been really effective again this half. Let's see if we can keep it up for the full 90 mins.

Very true. Although they do have Joe Harper on the stream (but he is a great commentator)

Maybe surprisingly, but the Aberdeen commentators on their stream are usually very good too.

Been a bit like the Hibs game. 3 - 0 at halftime wouldn't have flattered us, but at 1 - 0 Hearts are still in it. Need to kill it off.

Great spell that deserved a 2nd goal.

Need to tighten up our final pass. We're doing fine in midfield but a bit slack in the final third.

Great save from the keeper leads to a Polworth delivered corner and an excellent Gallagher header for the goal.

That's why it's an interesting experiment to watch him rather than the game. I guarantee he does more than you give him credit for.

I hear people saying that, but I don't think it's completely true. Just for kicks, I watched him off the ball in the last couple of games and while he's not a rugged tackler, he does track his man and often does enough to interfere with him to stop progress, disrupt his pass or make him turn back. Even if he did none of that, though, he should still be in the team for his on-the-ball contributions. On a different note, the Evening Times says Sloth is "in contention" for this game.

Donnelly and Campbell are hardly lightweight. I think there's a bit of revisionism going on here. It wasn't that long ago the same theory was being applied to Accies at New Age Douglas Park, but that midfield prospered there. The last thing we want to be doing is start dropping our players that can pass a ball. If anybody wants to watch that kind of game the Rugby World Cup is starting soon. We lost the last game against Hearts because 11 out of 11 players failed to perform. I don't think that will happen in Saturday's game.

I don't think O'Hara has played 1 minute of competitive football this season - I'd be surprised to seem him start.

BBC on the ball as usual. Donnelly mentioned this in his interview after the Accies game.

Looks like it. Site has it listed for video streaming.

Based on every other player I've seen come up from England, he'll need another 6 weeks to get fit.

Watched the game on a dodgy Croatian stream. 1 - 0 down at half time, but did well to come back in the 2nd half and nick it right at the end. Another half decent squad that our system will ensure never quite translates to the senior team.
