We kept our shirts tucked in and our socks pulled up.

McKenzie on for Coulson? Injury I'm guessing as he's been our best player. Maybe a back three?

As is the following 90 minutes with McRorie at centre back again.

There's a minor bit of pulling from both players but nothing unusual. Scales was just weak and facing the wrong way.

He loses his man, who completely gets the run on him. No chance var would be overturning that. On a booking, he should have put his arms in the air and let the player go, taking the risk that he'd miss the opportunity. Stewart had a moment five minutes earlier further up the pitch where he could have gone into a 50-50 and just completely removed himself from the situation knowing that it could bring on a second booking. Scales should have done the same.

Nah, I don't like pens for shite like that, think it ruins the game. It wouldn't have been a pen before the var introduction to fitba and nor should it be. Their pen definitely a pen there, pish play by Scales. Poor end to the half, but Hibs deserve it, they've been the better team. You can't give up the midfield for an entire half and expect results. Duk offers nothing back the way so it's difficult to justify his inclusion from the start (unfortunately, I'm glad Goodwin tried it, but it was wishful thinking that the two up front would work). Ramadani been poor again, I don't think he's good enough, especially in a two with McRorie. Just completely overrun and it leads to the bookings for the centre halves which eventually leads to the red card. I understand Goodwin risking trying to see the half out, it's totally what I'd do, but you don't expect an actual manager to do it! He should have addressed the glaring holes earlier and it will likely lead to us losing.

Yep, it's really not what pens should be for, but these days - and definitely when var comes in - that shite gets given. It's anti sport.

Huge gaps everywhere. The 4-4-2 showing its risks.

Ridiculous finish, great header. Belted cross.

Or Lopes in behind Miovski. Decent team. Glad Duk is in for Clarkson and not the easy choice of Kennedy.

The good thing about the minute's applause is that you can visibly and respectfully reject it by just not joining in. It's a fairly easy compromise. This entire charade is taking place in order to be seen. It's not a mark of respect or an opportunity to grieve, it's purely to be seen to be doing something. In that regard, I find it utterly disrespectful. I'd love to see the sadness-cams on sportscene panning across a whole stand of Dons and Hibs fans just not joining in with an enforced measure. I hope every Dons fan going that doesn't feel the grief makes sure that they are in the ground and politely not taking part. I'd love it even more if the tannoy announcer said something along the lines of: "we're about to hold a minute's applause for the death of the Queen. If you don't wish to join in, there is certainly no obligation, but we do ask you to please be respectful of those that wish to.". It'd just be nice to think that people aren't just joining in because they feel obliged to, that it's a completely acceptable thing to just stand in silence (or chatting, whatever suits). The objective of the entire thing is to show a single view of Britishness. A "national mourning". The media in this country are shaping a narrative rather than reporting on it and they want football fans to be a part of their show. Any viewer of British media in the last week would assume a nation in hysterics, without exception and that really isn't the case. The people standing in 24 hour queues to view a corpse-box aren't normal and they aren't representative of Britain as whole, less so Scotland. I think it's important that football shows that whilst being respectful of those that feel differently - which in Scotland is the minority. In my opinion, booing the dead monarch would be crass, however booing that seamless switch to new king via gstk would be a completely different proposition. I don't believe Dons or Hibs fans will have that shite forced upon them today though.

They just need to show ambition. It's the only thing between that team and league success.

Looked like it came off his shin. Poor man's Josh Magennis.

If only my wife wasn't so shite at fitba.

Ouch. Gilmour is an actual footballer, unlike the boy who can run fast. I saw Burke's Scotland debut and he was absolutely honking. Clearly just an athlete. As a young lad, I expect Gilmour to be inconsistent, but he's not suddenly going to forget how to play fitba really well. Burke just needed a little tail off in his physical performance to turn him into a worthless footballer. If Gilmour can get a foot in at any club, he'll turn out pretty special. He's very talented.

I'd have Wright the rat in ahead of brown, who's clearly gash. We don't have anyone that can glide past a player in that area behind the strikers. Surprised he's not getting a look in given his involvement with the scum in Europe.

You're correct. It's the police - who are definitely not all Huns - who decided that the game should be moved. They all need to be in Edinburgh because of a delivery.

I think they'll maybe even struggle with a minute's silence. Nor should there be one anyway. The nation has its opportunity on Sunday night for those that wish to. Football doesn't need to be the vehicle for this. It's disrespectful to enforce grief in such a way (as it was to cancel games).

That's because they're being allowed to. They don't have to walk the tight rope of the tabloid press, waiting to slaughter anyone not grieving enough. A mischievous part of me hopes they play the English national anthem before the Hibs v Dons game at the weekend.

We're back on for the Hibs game. I really hope we respect the 8 minute's silence (one for each decade of her reign, rounded up).

England restarting with some games this week in the lower leagues. Sub-human scum. Completely disrespectful. How can anyone think about kicking a football at a time like this?

Can't say anything these days without some moderator banning you. Shocking.

Completely inappropriate at a time of national mourning I'd say.

Kids fitba postponed in Aberdeen (not sure if it's all teams), so you might not be able to do the last item on your list. Weirdly, nobody will be able to solve the grief conundrum that will likely say that gymnastics is acceptable, but football not. This isn't normal. Strangely, the people that questioned lockdown most vociferously will probably be the ones in favour of this particular lockdown. Blue versus red once again, as the adults depart the scene.

That's engurland cancelled. Have we ever not followed suit?
