Really looking forward to this one. Potentially the last chance we get this season to load up on beer and stand in the ever present forest of expectation, just for a moment. COYR.

Interesting read over on P&B for the match thread. It’s hard to fathom the concern the Jambo faithful have about a piss poor Dons team coming to Tynecastle where we haven’t won since Primordial Earth. They have really got the fear this title is going to slip away. …..when routine bites hard and ambitions are low…….

Yeah, for an evening game in Feb, on a pitch that would have been more at home in Passchendaele, after the game was rearranged and we’ve been playing like East Stirling I’d say 2000+ is a god damn miracle

Highlights of tonight’s Champions League matches on BBC now if anyone missed them.

Might watch a bit of Brazilian game (Cruzeiro v Corinthians) on Premier Sport at 11pm.

3-2 now so that’s game over.

Not looking forward to this one even remotely. An early goal for them could see a doing inbound and the best we can realistically hope for is a draw.

3-1 now putting Galatasaray 6-5 ahead on aggregate just before half time in extra time.

Only just noticed that Juventus are also down to 10. Into extra time now.

Madrid 2-1 up now and Juventus 3-0 up on the night and now level on aggregate.

Raith win on penalties.

Asencio with nasty looking injury in Real Madrid game. Been stretchered off with neck brace on.

Airdrie v Raith gone to penalties.

Been knobbled. Watching some fat ginger bloke making falafels now. Over and out.

They've got a shit support if we do get extras.

Yes. The Diamonds. Yet again hardly any home fans and next to no noise from them. I remember trips to Broomfield were normally rowdy affairs. I guess their hardcore support must have deserted after the rebirth and move away from the town. Shame that.

The east section of the main stand (what Hibs got) isn't on sale to either support yet. Likely Dunfermline waiting to see how home sales go first. So every chance we get extra tickets.

Is it not Airdrie that are playing Raith?

It absolutely was a decent turnout. Just the lowest I can remember for a long time. It's usually always between 2,500 & 3,500. Was just an observation, wasn't making any specific point.

Ayr United v Raith Rovers on BBC Alba. Raith just went a goal up. Cracking goal.

In the first leg of an important Champions League match a Real Madrid player makes an accusation against an opposition player. An accusation let's remind ourselves that hasn't been backed up by any independent witnesses. Despite a complete lack of evidence UEFA suspend the accused player with immediate effect which means he misses the second leg. Thus robbing Benfica of one of their best players. Sorry but in what world is that in anyway acceptable? It's opening the door to all manners of cheating.

Real Madrid v Benfica been decent so far 1-1 at them moment.

Was it not 500 freebies to youngsters in Upper RDS only? Maybe not....

About that probably, yes. Dundee game was a special freebie tickets galore occasion wasn't it? Motherwell game being midweek didn't help. Mealers are less likely to journey into the big smoke on a dark Wednesday night in winter. That partly explains it but I'd agree that the domestic cup just isn't what it once was. It's the same story with the FA Cup in England. Not really sure why that should be.

It’s also a 6 nations weekend in Edinburgh so not much in the way of accommodation on the go.
