Out fans are once again stunned by a Willie Colum decision that killed us off, White took a dive and conned the ref - or is it a case that the fear is just ****e at his job.
We need to refocus quickly because the season still gives us a lot to play for including the very realistic chance to get back into Europe.
Today has been a sickener, some of us will be suicidal if Hearts go on and win the cup.

I must comment re that end line - Hearts win that Xmas final? Seriously??? Scottish football would be a "laughing stock" if they get anywhere near winning that trophy, certainly based on my observation of that average Hearts team tonight. Study the bookies' odds alone on that score and Hearts will be deemed rank outsiders and rightly so. I'd suggest to the winning manager of tomorrow's semi-final to just study the Hibs match and see how easily you can slice through their defence from set piece situations to proper, fast one-touch and two-touch moves with players who are a class above what Hearts have to offer at the current time!! Hibs just didn't do the job tonight for various reasons (incl dodgy ref officials may I add!!). The only way they will win this Scot Cup final is if similar poor ref officials are gonna "fix" that final and lets hope that doesn't happen for a second time esp during a period when I'm observing some of the weirdest things going on in society, politics and sport!!!
