Liverpool’s Bradley playing midfield isn’t he a defender?

Well he is described as a versatile player happy to play as a right full back of right side attacking wing back which is how I guess Klopp intends to play him tonight with Gomez sitting behind him on defensive duty.

It would appear the original set up was published in error as clearly Bradley is playing in his normal RB position.

Edinburgh derby tonight at the Costa Del A Honk, Shitecastle Garden Hut. Fearing the worst. They were properly humped on Saturday @ Ibrox. Could be a backlash. 🤦‍♂️
Hopefully the cabbage & ribs can produce something decent to weather that storm.

3-0 Hibs!! 👍👌
Quoting myself here due to the crazy notion of a “backlash”……. No such thing. How they are 3rd is anyones guess.
Hibs basically done an ipswich v Maidstone on them. All over them.

But even though i said to myself 2 years ago that due to family health issues, Football would never get me seething with rage ever again…….. That didn’t happen last night.
The Hearts penalty??? NEVER a penalty. VAR even asked the referee to check the screen as THEY didn’t think it was a penalty either……., Clancy went to the screen, but kept his on field decision. 🤷‍♂️

For VAR to work, IT MUST GO VOCAL. THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE. Not even open to discussion. Like rugby, nfl and afl, WE NEED TO HEAR WHY theyve reached decisions.
Id love to sit down with tea & cake and amicably discuss with Kevin Clancy WHY THE FK he didnt change his mind when he CLEARLY must’ve saw that there was NO PENALTY!!

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Its all a huge farce. It really is. I cannot believe we have VAR, and STILL we say, “it needs sorted”.
They need to either get RID OF IT, or do it properly.
To be honest, a ref making a massive c*nt of it in the “olden days” was BETTER than this. Surprised he didn’t start a riot. Those Hibs fans were fiesty and VERY angry. Get it sorted.

Agree with every word of that Marko, VAR is one of many reasons I don't watch any other football other than Town now, its a f**king farce, always has been and always will be. I much preferred the infamous "Clive Thomas " type f*ck ups, compared to this embarrassing bore fest. Quite how I'll cope with it if and when Town do go up god only knows.

Sorry just to clarify Marko, you were a bit in two minds whether it was a penalty or not then? :wink:

I dont know if any of you saw the actual pen that was taken. It made Radio Two news. 🤦‍♂️
Basically wankland scored it, a Hibs fan threw a meat pie, wankstain caught it, took a bite and threw it back. The police were there in force to stop fans getting on there. Disagree with ALL violence, it is for non educated people…….. but when the powers are enticing it, who knows how it’s going to go.
Wont be long until there is another 1980 Scottish Cup Final type scenario.

Just to add, i will place a thousand quid that the Edinburgh Evening News paper will focus on the meat pie and not the ridiculous penalty decision.

Wasn't that the last time alcohol was permitted at Hampden Park for Final day, they've prohibited the sale of it since back then although may be incorrect. But yeah, kids won't recall (it) but 1980 was notorious for crowd disturbance that afternoon. Just for the record, Celtic beat Rangers by 1 - 0, similar scores to 77 and 89, no reference required

On to more recent time and Last night Dundee got hit for seven although the Tayside club did manager to score one themselves. Guess Albert Kidd has been applauded enough over time and we're not looking to do any one team favors right now. Don't really give much of a sh*t for English F.A. Cup games in all truth played last few nights. Played fifth round games midweek instead of on a traditional Saturday (?) It's a mess.

Hey Saint, thats SIR Albert Kidd!! 👍👌

Remember that day like it was yesterday.

Four things:

1. Hearts need to win at Dens, (and Celtic not to win by 5 at Love st) …….. cue Albert Kidd at Dens, cue Celtic 5-0 :lol:

2. One week later, Dons beat Hearts in Cup Final :lol:

3. Hearts sponsored by MITA copiers.

4. Joke was: They Mita won the league. And they Mita won the cup. But they won fk all.

Still chuckle at that to this day. They STILL hate that joke.

West Bromwich play later today and they got Coventry in a home fixture, a local derby if so inclined. Not sure if we should be concerned about them as although only 1 or 2 places behind in the league they got to make up something like 15 points to reach or overtake us. Somehow think they won't make automatic promotion by final game, a play-off chance seems best likely.

Not only that a Coventry win tonight, perhaps even a draw, will see them overtake Norwich on the verge of the play-off zone so there's every reason here to root for a Sky Blue victory.

Good to see Huddersfield holding Leeds for the first 30 mins and limiting their opportunities to just 1 shot on goal compared to The Tykes 4 with 2 On Target. Leeds tho dominating possession with 78% of play. Can Huddersfield keep this up for another hour, if only 🙏

Both Huddersfield CMs and a CB are on yellows. A second yellow for either could effectively break the home teams resolve.

It seems amazing that after an hour played against 10 men Leeds have still only had 1 Shot on Target compared to Huddersfield’s 5 from 22% possession.

Still a long way to go and if Leeds score one I fear more could follow, but as long as it stays like this there’s hope. 🙏
