  1. Goodwin took some stick after last Sunday and rightly so . Then to put a team out that scores 5 at Tannadice and change the team again and score 2 at parkhead is nothing short of miraculous. 
    if  losing last Sunday helps Goodwin and the team to grow then I will take that. 
    To come out and produce those kind of performances after what was a huge disappointment shows that there is something pretty special about our whole set up.

    I love my team. Still buzzing and as most of my fellow countrymen here are Celtic fans then its all the sweeter .
     

  2. Jim Goodwin was the only person in the stadium who actually knows what it’s like, and more importantly what it takes, to captain a team to cup winning glory. It makes his team selection and tactics all the more baffling.

    Connolly was on a yellow. So what? He was the one spark of creativity we had and he took him off!

    Once we went behind you could see that no one knew what to do.

    I still can’t understand why you would set out not to lose a semi final and not try and win it from the first whistle.

    still gutted

  3. I really hate to say this but now that I’ve calmed down I will. I think that Goodwin believes himself to be some sort of tactical genius and beyond reproach. He has an irritating habit of answering a question  by saying “ listen” then going on about how he sees the game which seems far removed from the reality. Of course he is a club legend for captaining us to cup glory but he needs to look in the mirror. He comes across as arrogant which would be fine if we were winning regularly but we aren’t.

  4. Forgive me if this point has been raised before and forgive me a second time as an exiled Scot having an opinion on an issue that won’t really have any effect on me politically but certainly emotionally.

    Here goes: The previous yes campaign was doomed when the Orange Order came out and marched making their declaration to the no campaign very clear. This one move persuaded a large Protestant number to vote no.( they may not be associated with the OO but would have strong Protestant beliefs) Salmond missed an opportunity to  explain what a yes vote would mean regarding the monarchy as this is of very high importance to the Protestants in Scotland. 
    My point is not one of pointing a finger at the OO it’s more pointing a finger at the yes campaign as they didn’t appear to realise how powerful and influential the Protestant vote is in Scotland.

    Sturgeon, being from the west coast may have a better handle on that aspect which I believe is well worth examining in more detail in preparation for a second referendum.

    Politics and religion are always intertwined and Scotland is no different.

  5. It’s probably a moot point but let’s say none of the officials picked up on the tackle, would it be looked at retrospectively and the player receives a red based on tv evidence? I guess it throws up another point that he would have remained on the pitch and we still have 11 v 11. 
    We may have a case if the 4th official hasn’t followed protocol but I think it’s unlikely. 
    The argument shouldn’t be around whether it’s a red or not, more about how it was handled on the day.
