  1. Be very interesting to see if we get this selection right given the shocker of a side that was out out for the last big one off opportunity game, the Livi semi-final. I trust the guys who have got us this far to see us home. If I had to be harsh I'd really not like to see Quaner until late in the game if required. He's been decent in the past and may be again soon but for now he looked the slowest and least match fit player during the Ross County game and I was stunned to see him start at Ibrox and what I predicted inevitably happened when he just could not manage any sort of press on their defenders allowing hem to stroll out launching wave after wave of attacks for the hour he was on. First line of defence forcing mistakes from the least talented passers in the back 4. That won't have changed in 2 weeks so I'd like to see a front pair capable of putting pressure on in the opposition half before they get started. If truly fit Dennis yes if doubts maybe Durmus with McGrath? Go on Saints. Do it!
  2. This. He clearly got there first. The County player has poked his foot at it but it's impossible to tell from the one angle the have from behind play how much contact his hip has into Quaner's side as he stretched to win the ball first. It is soft but most likely there's enough of a shunt while his weight was shifting across to throw him off balance.
  3. Jim Goodwin seems to be the only manager who rests his players in form. Both Flynn and Connolly have looked really sharp yet have to sit and watch Lee Erwin put in a performance like that. Unless they've knocks that must be discouraging to watch thinking your boss consider that a better option than you.
  4. This soon as they had to come out and leave space behind we should have given them the threat of pace behind forcing them to stay back a bit. As it was knowing gown shockingly slow Erwin is the entire back 4 pushed right up keeping us in our own half making mistake after mistake until we blew it.
  5. Even listening on the radio I could tell that wasn't over the line. Cheating bastards!
  6. Playing the ball penalised YET AGAIN for follow through. Playing the ball penalised YET AGAIN for follow through. Natural position for arm to be in for the ball to hit? 9 seconds later they scored the one goal of the game in a continuation of this move. Holt and Rodgers have ploughed through our players Mason & Tait resulting in a concussion and a near snapped leg, same last season Ogboe leaving MacKenzie concussed. Not one received a card. Either you maintain control throughout challenges or you don't. Fed up seeing this.
  7. Looks like we might be seeing Brophy. I'm happy with that, decent player on his day and may work well with those we have.
  8. Sure but officials are just applying different rules when we're involved. Shaughnessy red because you have to maintain control throughout challenge and not endanger opponent - OK Jason Holt nearly snapped Brandon Mason's leg - Not even a card (retrospective red no advantage to us) Rogers hammers into Richard Tait nearly knocking him clean out - Nothing! Free kick other way even for what, endangering the keeper? Any handball by defenders out of natural body position is a penalty. Nothing. Play on. Point is we're not getting these situations judged fairly and consistently.
  9. Question We had Joe Shaughnessy ordered off against Ross County making a great clean clearance but the argument that we all grudgingly accepted at the time was that he wasn't in control through out and his follow through endangered and injured his opponent Ross Stewart. Do goalkeepers not have to adhere to the same rules? Killie keeper Rogers certainly cleared the ball as Shaughnessy did but showed absolutely no control or care in his lunge kneeing Tait in the head endangering and ultimately injuring his opponent to the point he couldn't even continue. I just don't see the difference. Either players challenge maintaining control or they are penalised. Not just when officials feel like it. How is Rogers in any way in control of his challenge here?
  10. No shaking hands lads or wash 'em when you get in. Let's have no more incidents.
  11. You've just got to laugh at how poor we are right now. Utterly hopeless. Feel sorry for Tait among this mess. Are they tiring yet then? Reckon they'll win this now.
  12. Jim will be delighted to be holding a League 1 side in their first game of the season.
  13. Seems a bit of a chancer barely out of school with 1 yr of HND course but advertising himself like Scotland's foremost sports broadcaster/journo
  14. Have to agree with Norrie. When the fans only interaction with their team is sitting at home watching it's so critical for them to see the club run well and perform well. Season tickets have been purchased in the knowledge that we're possibly getting no games for that money, because we care and want the club to get through a difficult time and thrive. To then see a bench with 2 outfield players with experience available is shocking especially on the night our club captain is sold. Still hopeful to see what additional recruitment there will be to get ourselves out of the bottom spot (again) having seen rivals strengthen throughout the day and we get a Rangers Colt player and a guy reported as out injured for 6 weeks. Absolutely crucial time. If fans of decades are looking in thinking this could be as good a time as any to just chuck it then you've got a major problem. Absolutely pig sick of it all. Feels like Stubbs is back!
  15. You're talking to yourself now, he's gone, discussion over, no one else allowed to reply 'cause he's left the conversation.
  16. Is anyone else allowed a view or is this just finished now because antrin says so like the kid who picks up his ball and goes home? Clearly wasn't finished either since he saw the next reply and answered it LOL
  17. Did anyone else spot what i thought was a nailed on penalty for us 2nd half when I think it was Mullen was running through their box looking for a cutback and their defenders was basically cuddling him for want of better explanation for about 6 or 7 steps. From directly behind in Main stand it looked a cert. It was like he was trying to run with a big tangerine rucksack. I though me and the fellow beside me were going to lose a lung bawling about it. Our main side assistant was as bad as Beaton. Gave us absolutely nothing and the first foul we did get right in front of him he reacted to Beaton whistling and slowly raised his flag to pretend. Total howler also when he just assumed a ball was going dead flagged for goalkick early and then just brazened it out when Mullen got the sole of his boot to it and stopped it well before going out. Between them they allowed Utd players to plough through the back of our forwards time after time to the point that they probably thought just outright taking them out the game like MacKenzie was fine for them to do. Connelly's first move every high ball was a shove into the back of his forward. Crowd were magnificent. Pressure and edginess meant a little bit quiet and outdone by good noisy Utd support at times but gave great backing throughout and loud when it mattered to lift the side. Well done all the young uns ...didn't realise the level of WoahhhhhhhhWoahhhh during Utd spot kicks, great stuff..
