Jimmy Thelin in Hearts confession as Aberdeen boss waves the white flag after bruising Gorgie defeat
The Aberdeen boss was critical of his team - whilst sending a clear message on Hearts. Sign up to our Hearts newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

The Jambos got their 2025/26 Scottish Premiership campaign off to a flyer on Monday with a comfortable 2-0 win over Aberdeen at Tynecastle. A Graeme Shinnie own goal gave the hosts a lead in the first half, before a brave header from Stuart Findlay sealed the three points. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Victory maintains Hearts 100% win record to the start of this season, following the Gorgie side's comfortable run in the Premier Sports Cup group stage. After a tough 24/25 campaign, Derek McInnes as head coach and investment from Tony Bloom looks to have changed the atmosphere in Gorgie and with no European football, they can concentrate solely on domestic competitions. On the other hand, whilst showing glimpses, Aberdeen didn't play to the levels that won them the Scottish Cup. Boss Thelin vented his frustration after the match as he assessed proceedings in the capital. Jimmy Thelin believes Aberdeen 'were not really there' in Hearts defeat Aberdeen haven't won at Tynecastle since 2017 and for Thelin's men, that record was only prolonged on Monday night. The Aberdeen boss wasn't impressed with his side's performance and admitted Hearts were the better team on the day. Thelin said: 'We had an idea of how we were going to take on the game today in the first half with the ball, and we didn't succeed in that. "Hearts put good pressure on us, and then they win these second balls and create a momentum with the crosses. They were better in the first half. I think in the second half we got better with the ball and started creating some chances in their box, but we were not really clinical. We were not really there."

The season did however end up a successful one in The Granite City as they won their first Scottish Cup in 35 years. That being said, Thelin will be hoping for more consistency from his team this year. A perfect start for The Jambos Derek McInnes' start to life on the East Coast couldn't have started any better. New signings Claudio Braga, Alexandros Kyzridis, Oisin McEntee, Christian Borchgrevnik and Tomas Bent Magnusson all featured last night, giving the new additions a taste of what competitive football entails in the top tier of Scottish football. McInnes will also be happy with the performance of Harry Milne who looks a suitable replacement for James Penrice in the left back position. He will also be hoping that Craig Halkett can get a good run of games under his belt after injury struggles in recent seasons, as he too put on an impressive display against Aberdeen.

Hundreds of ESB customers in still without power following Storm Floris' 104kph wind gusts as worst hit area revealed
Storm Floris was the sixth named storm of the season. LIGHTS OUT Hundreds of ESB customers in still without power following Storm Floris' 104kph wind gusts as worst hit area revealed HUNDREDS of homes across Ireland remain without power following Storm Floris, which brought extreme winds and gales to the island over the bank holiday weekend. The storm, which made landfall in the early hours of Monday morning, impacted over 10,000 homes and businesses across the country. Advertisement 3 The storm, which received weather warnings in eight counties impacted over 10,000 homes and businesses across the island. Credit: Getty Images - Getty 3 Winds peaked at over 100km/h in parts of the country Credit: Getty Images - Getty Met Eireann said that the height of the storm saw average wind speeds of between 60kph and 70kph. On Malin Head in Inishowen, speeds reached 104kph. Several flights were cancelled in Northern Ireland due to the severity of winds. In Dublin airport, flight operations continued as usual, despite the cancellation of six flights by Emerald Airlines. Advertisement Tuam, Co. Galway, saw over 3,000 customers lose power, making it the worst area hit in the country. ESB Networks has said that as of this morning, 270 customers remain without power. Since Monday, a major repair campaign has been underway to reconnect all households, farms and businesses left without power. However, the vast majority of homes across the country have regained power since the storm. Advertisement The storm, which prompted weather warnings in eight counties, has been described as a "small weather event". Speaking on RTE's Morning Ireland, Senior Forecaster with Met Eireann, Gerry Murphy, said: "In the broader scheme of things, it's still a relatively small weather event". He added: "The main issue with this particular weather event is really the time of year and the weekend that it's occurring. Storm Floris hits with 90mph 'danger to life' wind set to wreak havoc – as thousands told do NOT travel "So in terms of its potential impacts, it had a greater weight than a wet, windy day perhaps in a non-bank holiday weekend or a non-tourist time of the year." Advertisement While Ireland may have escaped the worst effects of the storm, the same cannot be said of Scotland. SORRY SCOTLAND According to Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, over 70,000 homes were left without power in Scotland due to storm Floris. As of this morning, 50,000 homes have had their power restored; however, 22,000 still remain powerless. Flights and rail services were also severely affected, with up to 119 incidents reported on rail lines and up to 68 departure flights thought to be cancelled in the UK as a result of the storm. Advertisement BETTER WEATHER In the wake of the bad weather, Met Eireann is predicting a warm and sunny week. Temperatures today will sit between 17C and 21C across the country. Tomorrow and Wednesday will see similar temperatures with "hazy sunshine" in the morning; however, clouds will thicken throughout the day. Over the coming weekend, temperatures are expected to remain relatively cool between 16C and 21C with occasional winds that will be stronger in the north and northwest. Advertisement On Saturday, conditions will be mostly dry and bright; however, on Sunday, showers and longer spells of rain are expected.
