Kearney's team tonight will only be proven right or wrong dependent on the result on Saturday. Anything other than a win, something we've failed to get against Accies this season, points towards 'why'? There's no free passes when your in a relegation battle, even Dundee held them to the 90 odd minute. This Celtic team isn't special, most their squad played on Sunday and two games in the international break. To say our players are tired is pathetic.
Tactically I thought we were shit. A total inability to get the ball to our players in the Celtic half, or hold any sort of possession. We let their full backs push far too high and overload either side of defence, and playing Ferdinand forced our defence to play on the edge of our box the entire night. We left our two centre forwards isolated, with a limited and immobile midfield. We just invited Celtic to play in our half.
Remember when Ross set us up to let the Celtic back two and Brown have the ball, as they are awful at playing out with it? There was nothing close to that thinking tonight. It was total shitfest pack the box effort. That was damage limitation from the first whistle. The sort of thing you'd have expected when Kearney was first appointed. -
Should we just put Hdlaky in the hall of fame now, after Samson got in?
-
The front two have been taken out the game by the midfield being completely unable to pass to anyone or into any space that's not a Celtic player.Is Cooke on the park still?and get kellerman off before sent off
Cooke has dropped into midfield which is needless. Kellerman like the other two in midfield look out their depth, although McGinn occasionally has a nice touch, he's far far too slow for this level, especially in a game like this. -
Great penalty save from Hdlaky. The lift we needed. Stupid handball by Kellerman
-
Not giving Nazon or Cooke a chance of holding up the ball.
Our midfield is pretty much playing amongst our defence just now. -
Hldaky has to hold the first shot, even though he probably shouldn't have been able to save it. The midfield can't just allow Celtic to overload the opposite wing.
-
Cut apart far too easily there. Ball into between two centre halves and McPherson not tracking his man
-
I really don't think we're in the position not to attempt to keep momentum going by keeping the lineup as similar as possible from the weekend. Never mind a proper pasting takes away the small advantage that we currently have in our goal difference.
Ferdinand up against the pace of Burke and Weah give me the fear. -
Pretty unimpressed by that lineup, I'd be seething if I paid £27 for that team.
No game at this point is a free hit, and that midfield gives me no confidence that we're going to be putting up much a fight. Back to front, constantly under pressure -
Wow. Didn't expect the first update to be a Dundee goal.
-
Don't think you can say much after that, that hasn't been said after every game.
We are out our depth in this league. There's been zero improvement since last season. If we even flucked our way into the playoff spot, we'd definitely be the underdogs.
It'll be another summer of a full squad turnover. -
Time to see if we do have any appetite for the fight or if we're going to continue rolling over at the first sign of a challenge.
-
That penalty is awful. We can't afford to be missing chances like that.
-
Any reason why Nazon didn't start? Despite him being the only player we've had this season that's managed to hold the ball in an attacking position?
-
Not too sure how I feel about this along with Potter being included. Samson done well for us, without ever being the reason for putting us up a level. Samson is the very definition of alright for a goalkeeper. I don't think a penalty save in a semi final pushes you into what is the elite of the club.
It all feels a bit tinpot just putting in players that won something. Rather than guys that made a proper impact at the club in increasing the standard we played.
Hall of fame players should be noticeable for being consistently outstanding, being the force behind delivering the club a major honour or being an outstanding servant to the club. I'd give an allowance to cult heroes but even they need to have properly delivered.
Edit to add in 20 years time, I very much doubt I'll be speaking about Samson. He just doesn't tick the boxes for me.
Another edit to add, it's ridiculous to add someone who's actually played this season to the hall of fame. Never mind quitting mid season.
-
We've settled for a point here. Even with the conditions we've been awful
-
It was a clear red card and worth a suspension.
No idea why we are appealing it, but with the way the panels worked this season I've no idea.
I like a good trial by sportscene. Players should get penalised for being reckless and for professional fouls, especially if the correct action hasn't been taken on the field. -
Updated to not capable...From gc-SMFC........................
We need to start winning games. Simple as that. Two draws on the trot was fine if we're within touching distance, but we're not, we need a two game swing in our favour to get into a playoff place, and we have showed that we're capable of doing that.
I'm astounded, explain, or anyone else, how?
We've won 3 games ALL season?
The chances of us winning 2 games, while our rivals don't, is remote. -

Livingstone have been very hit or miss but have been physical, generally been organised, and had a clear game plan that the players have attempted to carry out. We actually need our team to do that this weekend.
-
Any other chat about the different ticket prices for everyone sitting in the same section?
It's ridiculous that anyone paid £28 for the match today. -
Definitely the best tactically I've seen us under Kearney, two narrow lines of 5 and 3 making us difficult to play through and letting our defenders win their physical battles. Hearts lack real creativity and it showed, even though Hdlaky won us the point with his string of saves.
The midfield performed well, but there isn't enough energy to support a lone striker. We left Nazon and Jackson far too isolated at times, and perhaps neither are suited to us trying to get the ball in behind the defence in the channel. I felt Nazon played well, despite some comments from those around me.
Unfortunately our finishing continued to be woeful. McGinn then McAllister failed to even hit the target with our best chances.
It's the sort of performance that we'd have wanted three months ago. But hopefully it's enough to build off. We need to win against the Livingston -
1-0 Hearts. Brilliant header form a set piece. Unfortunately deserved
-
I hope our SLO will be enquiring about split ticket prices in a non split stand.
In the match however we've set up well, unlucky to not have the penalty, failed to hit the target with two clear chances. But rode our luck with Hdlaky making a series of ridiculous saves -
I'm sorry but naming two managers from a 30 year time period isn't logic.
Ross for all his results and signing policy being bad in the first season and winter onwards, and a visible improvement in results. Kearney hasn't achieved that.
Keeping a bad manager for the sake of not having to sack another manager is ridiculous. There's no defence for our results this season.
