What is the most important game. russia or Aberdeen.
If you were offered a a win and a lose I would take the win at Aberdeen and the lose in Russia.
The reason I say that is that we are clearly not the same team as last year and I don't think the team can be trusted to take full points in our remaining games. so we must take them off our closest rivals.
If we went further in Europe then there would be more games like yesterday were the team is weakened.
Fans criticising other fans for saying the league isn't over should remember the 15 point swing when Lennon won it.
The attitude that it's over is complacency. until it's won then it ain't over.
As for the injuries, these players ain't going to hit the ground running the minute they are back. they have been out to long for that to happen.
Imo it has to be the strongest 11 every game.
No more gambles. this is our best chance for 10 we can't blow it.

{Ed007's Note - If someone offered me a win and a lose I'd tell them to pi$$ off and give me the 2 wins that I know we're capable of, or a draw in Russia at the very least.
So you think Aberdeen and TRIFC can go the rest of the season without dropping points - even though they've still to play each other - the same Aberdeen that were beaten by Hibs and the same TRIFC that shipped three goals to Accies at the weekend? We're 9 points clear with 11 games to go and anybody that thinks we won't win the league is talking total bollocks, that's not criticising them btw, that's just a fact.}

Ed I have been trying not to comment on the people who are saying the leagues not finished because I couldn't be bothered arguing with the panick merchants. But you just hit the nail on the head there mate.

{Ed007's Note - It's nothing but negative twaddle, Kev.}

I never said we wouldn't win the league but the next 3 league games will tell us how comfortable or anxious the run in will be.
We win them and it's done we drop points and it who knows.
We are dropping points regularly now so you can't say for certain that trend will not continue.
I will make judgement on if it's done after the next 3 games.

{Ed007's Note - I never said you said we wouldn't win the league, it was you that brought up the fans that are saying it and I addressed that.}

Well I can make my judgement now. It's done and was done before we even kicked a ball this season.

{Ed007's Note - I'll even go as far as to say we'll win next year's league too, Kev (yes)

I'd take a 2-1 loss in Zenit. Although would rather we won both games. Just hope the fitness levels are there on Sundays conveniently arranged fixture and we don't have to put up with foul play tactics from the sheep shaggers.

So the scenario to ‘blow’ the league.

Lose 3 of the remaining 11 games and draw another.

Let’s look at Aberdeen, bottle crashes in the pressure games. They just can’t win the games that matter.

That leaves the Sevies as the most likely ‘challenger’.

11 games and they’ll most likely need to pick up maximum points, having to win against us at Ibrox and Celtic Park.

Unbelievable nonsense to suggest anything other than a 7th successive title for the hoops.

Jungle John you do realise we can still qualify if we lose in Russia?

ha ha ED007 I was waiting on you biting back at all those nay sayers, and this "are you a season ticket holder" to justify their point of view is nonsense.
We all know Sunday was poor but most fans put it behind them and move on.
I am looking forward to next season already, as when all the injured players are back added to our new signings and returning players like Christie we should have a full squad able to interchange with no dropping in performance, I hope.
Can these negative posters not understand that Brendan was looking towards the next 2 games Zenit and Aberdeen, and needed to give the likes of Tierney, Simonovic, Lustig etc some down time to avoid more injuries or exhaustion.
People seem to forget also that european games takes it's toll mentally and physically, so the players need to be protected. Travellling to Russia playing a hard game, travelling back then having to travel again to Aberdeen will tax our players. Trust Brendan and our medical staff to look after our players.

I would take a win or a draw in Russia every day of the week. We have 2 games against Rangers and if they ate to get close they need to win both those games otherwise they have no chance. They might get 1 point over the 2 games. Do think they will finish second. Aberdeen won't get close.

9 points clear, 18 to play for i think, sheep and servco need to win all 6 to get to 70 points, we are at 61 points, tic need 10 points from 6 games. chillax, no squeaky bum time yet. win by 1 point or a 100 points, its a win win. but would be nice to do it in style as always. lol hail hail. Zenith will be a different team on Thursday, our away record not so good, but as long as we get the formation right again and hopefully steal a goal, we can't concede to many obviously. take a draw or as bravetart86 says 2-1 would be nice. h. h.
