Next Sunday at 9pm Premier Sport have the Super Classico between River and Boca.

Very tame second half and only a modest 6 minutes injury time this half. Still 1-1.

Interesting that after today, Hibs fans are questioning whether David Gray should stay or go. I think the last seven teams to finish third, their manager left the following season. Gray looks like he might buck that trend, but maybe only because Jimmy Thelin essentially took his place to continue the natural order. I suppose Gray has been solid enough for Hibs, but can see the frustration. Looked really impressive on their last trip to Pittodrie but have never really kicked on and looked a shadow of that today (albeit, were down to 10). Look a side capable of the odd big result but Gray doesn't look like he's ever going to take them up a level.

Oh, thank phvk for that. What a relief. Gives us hope that we can actually make 10th (christ....) We looked like a football team today. Whether that was because we were playing a team with one man less, that's something we don't need to worry about right now. A lot of things can be said, but I'm just ecstatic that we seem to be back in a positive direction now. Just get this season saved, and dealt with, and then we can be critical.

Boca v Independiente on premier sport 2 just now. First half lasted 56 minutes with Boca equalising with a penalty in last minute of the injury time. This leads to Independiente manager losing the plot at the ref and being red carded. Looking forward to second half now.

Must admit, I prefer Robbo’s touchline antics compared to Jimmy’s stoicism.

We’re back, baby!

It was Aremu’s best game for us, not saying he was great but I think to everyone he was better than anticipated. He actually looked somewhat fit. And while he gvae the ball away at times, I thought he was more mobile athletic and competitive today, plus on a good day at least gets his shot on target. For the role he plays, today is the first sign that he can actually play it. as poor as the season has been, nisbet has been interested and lively, two more goals as well. Perhaps a late add to the World Cup squad?? We’re not exactly fully of talented forwards, worth taking?

Thought Jensen and Aremu did well today- Aremu had a couple of poor passes but thought he moved the ball well and battled well to win the second balls. Frustrated at times when moving ball slowly across the back - Molloy for me seems afraid to play forwards and Milne struggles to find one of our players unless he has had 3 touches, but overall a decent performance Hanley at the World Cup should be interesting….

Hibs bench were already getting their sub changed before DICKinson went to the monitor.

Linlithgow beat Clydebank 4-1 today to go top of league. Bonnyrigg drew with Broxburn basically blowing their chances due to inferior goal difference however they can still put a spanner in the works by beating Linlithgow which would open the door for Clydebank. Big crowd at Prestonfield today. Both teams would be credit to league. Think both look capable of beating Edinburgh City if they get past Brora.

As the fast food establishment nickname conflict ceasefire failure approached its second week a football team escaped the threat of automatic relegation.

Not long back. A decent performance and a great result. Thought Jensen was actually our best performer, and obviously Nisbet. I'm not seeing what others are with Aremu, I thought he was slow and slow to get back and not particularly good on the ball either. Thought Cameron and particularly Armstrong were much better, but I still don't think that's a three you'd want to be playing. I like the idea of it, because it's a holding player with two in front, but I don't think any of them suit it particularly (especially Aremu). Special thanks to Grant Hanley for his classic, and fuck knows what the ref was watching. He was fucking terrible. Every touch was a foul and they took full advantage. It wasn't until Shinnie came on and threw himself to the floor that we worked it out. Anyway, it was good, a hard working performance with a decent shape. Nothing to write home about, but exactly what we need.

Beat Killie in two weeks time, we'll be eight points clear and a right few better off in terms of goal difference and all but safe This of course will result in floods of tears in Weegie media head quarters

The chairman’s already been in touch about this, so I have admitted to my absence as being the catalyst for Fraser’s goal, as our ‘keeper was still awaiting me to deliver the Rothes pie to him, having knowledge of Rothes’s policy of discounting said comestible to a quid after half time. Alas, I remain stuck inside of Shawlands with the Banffshire blues again.

Good performance, well organised with a good shape. We actually looked like a team today. Bar a few careless passes Aremu was very good, really liking the look of him. Most of the team played well but Gyamfi worthy of a shout for a very decent performance.

We can't beat Killie next week, the game is in two weeks.

Finally a win. We still need to get a proper manager for next season

Finally an actual team performance! Well done to all involved and hopefully there's no injuries before our next game as we have to line up the exact same way against Killie in a couple of weeks. We win that then we'll go 8 clear with 4 games remaining. I think with that gap we should be safe from finishing in 11th spot.

Together Forever, She Wants to Dance With Me, Cry for Help. He's got loads of hits.

Much, much better. Called out the wing back selections afore the game but fair play, they were both very good. We won that game in the middle though. Even before the red, we were controlling it. Aremu very good in the holding role today, liked what I saw. The rest of the midfield all put in a shift, pressed well, won second balls, good stuff. Couple of goals for Nisbet too disna do ony harm. Takes a bit of pressure off, but still work to do. Lets batter Killie next week then we can all relax a bit more. Well done all today though…

Couldn't keep a clean sheet against the worst team in the league...

My pants are a bit less sodden than usual this week. There's still some way to go before I will feel confident about wearing light coloured trousers, though.

Much needed win and results went our way. Thought gyamfi and aremu did well today.

Rothes 1 Keith 5. Beauty is truth, truth beauty That is all ye know on earth, And all ye need to know. (Although Turriff thrashing Brechin 5-1, whilst sugar daddy-minted Brora drew 1-1 at Crusty Park did raise a titter)
