It was the calm earlier than the Champions League storm so Aberdeen and Kilmarnock followers took their probability to leap on the Hotline and it is honest to say they are not too happy with their respective heaps.
Dons fan Iain Alan, Linlithgow, emailed to induce Jim Goodwin to stiffen his defence in January. He mentioned: "Aberdeen ought to be sponsored by First Group given you possibly can drive a bus by their defence as Dundee United, Motherwell and Hibs have already proved to this point this season. I do not perceive why Considine, Gallagher and Bates all received proven the door. It is not almost adequate and I hope the precedence within the January switch window is a minimum of one respectable centre again, ideally two."
Andrew Lamb, Fraserburgh, emailed about former Dons boss Derek McInnes, saying: "I see the the president – and solely member – of the Derek McInnes fan membership, Hugh McKirdy, nonetheless hasn't stopped crying over the sacking of his idol by Aberdeen. Hugh, Kilmarnock is McInnes' degree. He was sacked at Bristol Metropolis as nicely, as a result of soccer being terrible. No change there."
And Killie fan Tom Paterson, Falkirk, wasn't pleased together with his crew chucking away a two objective lead towards Hearts on Sunday. He mentioned: "Oli Shaw's miss v Hearts coupled together with his silly foul on a Hearts participant who was heading in direction of his personal objective within the final minute contributed to the lack of two factors. Take away his penalty objectives and his scoring fee is pitiful for a supposed striker. One on one with a keeper - about 5 per cent success fee – if that."
Naturally, there have been Outdated Agency calls. Davie Knox, Queen’s Park, mentioned: "It didn’t take lengthy from ‘we by no means cease’ to 'my gamers are drained after enjoying two video games per week' excuses from Ange Postecoglou. Rangers have been doing this his complete tenure and that along with beneficial refereeing choices are the one causes his crew gained the league final 12 months."
Jake Curley, Edinburgh, mentioned: "I see we’re again to the identical previous usual Celtic this season. 'When are you going to blow for full time ref?' 'Quickly as Celtic rating the winner, son.'
Steve McSherry, Uddingston, mentioned: "It’s received to the purpose that referees are now not disguising their assist in direction of Rangers. Nick Walsh’s penalty award towards St Mirren was unbelievable. To be honest to the Rangers gamers they by no means claimed it nevertheless it had an enormous affect on the end result. Roll on VAR."
However Hibs fan John Scott, Grassmoore, mentioned: "Like Andy Scott in Edinburgh we are able to all mess around with stats. Here is mine: Since 00/01 Celtic have been awarded 144 penalties, Rangers 119 and Hibs 85. These are penalties awarded within the SPFL solely. Celtic averaged 6.54 per season, Rangers 6.61 and the Hibees 4.47. Whereas it dispels the parable that referees are biased towards both of the Outdated Agency golf equipment it leaves an enormous query over Hibs. That being if the Hibees get a penalty they cheated but when Rangers or Celtic get a questionable choice it is right down to bias and the incompetence of officers."
Kenny Goff emailed: "Celtic and Rangers followers unfurl all these enormous banners at their video games, however a easy query is: how do these folks get them into the stadiums? Clearly stewards and many others have to be turning a blind eye to all this, or are they hiding them within the stadium the evening earlier than?"
