See you next season Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Professional foul- surely that's a red then not a yellow? Goodwin was the victim of a shocking challenge from mcluskey (?) that should've been a straight red. Throwing a protective arm/elbow up seemed reasonable. Your previous post stated the red fir Conlan was harsh given your good view of it. Why are you now calling it a (w)reckless challenge? No, a professional foul isn't necessarily a red card offence - more often than not it's a yellow eg. Three attackers against two defenders, one of the defenders gets skinned and pulls back the attacker - a clear booking, a 'professional foul', but it wouldn't be a red card if the remaining defender was goalside and in a position to make a challenge. The sending off was wreckless, and having watched it on tv, given the height of the challenge, it probably was a red... although a soft red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 That red is a shiter too. Two major decisions in the game. The goal and the red card. We've been done on both of them. And still, they can't beat us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbles old paperboy Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 That red is a shiter too. Two major decisions in the game. The goal and the red card. We've been done on both of them. And still, they can't beat us. A measure of how far we have fallen. 3 shots on target in 90 minutes against Morton. Aside from Agnew shooting from outside the box have we got a goal threat this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam M Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 I might be alone in this but I thought we were f'king shite. Maybe I've just got high standards or expected us to be able to compete better in this league. Don't get me wrong I think our goal should have stood and Conlon shouldn't have been sent off, both major decisions. However, once again we sat so deep and just invite pressure onto ourselves. Don't get me wrong Langfield and Goodwin made a massive different to the team in comparison to the last two league games, but overall there's no drive in the team. Conlon and Howieson are never going to make it up here, they don't have the balls for it. The length of time it took Howieson to walk off when being subbed! I went into the season expecting to at the very least be entertained, and hopefully get a top four finish. Three games in and I'm bored out my tits.

buddies1877 Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Thompson's goal should have stood Conlan challenge was a red card in 2015 Team looked a bit lightweight in open play, especially down LHS Gallagher gives us more movement upfront than Thompson - the team needs to be rejigged if we want to play both of them at the same time. If we can only play one I'd start with Gallagher and use Thompson as a sub when the opposition is not so fresh. if the opposition manager comes out and says it wasn't a red think it's fair to say it prob wasn't and it my opinion it was never a red card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronaldo Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Decent point in the end but poor decisions cost us, mainly just going with Thommo up alone. He needs help or we need width. Howieson plays far too central, we need someone to stick right out wide and swing crosses in, otherwise having Thommo is pointless. Conlon, well bit unlucky with the red card but his overall game is rotten, positioning, tackling and passing are junior level at best. Get Kelly back out there if Webster comes in Langfield and Goodwin were superb, their experience could be vital getting us back on track, we need points ASAP before we give ourselves too much to do for a top 4 spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Banjos Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Goodwin... Came into his own when we went down to 10 men. First half, he was part of the problem in midfield. Hopefully, the second half performance can act as a springboard, but not convinced he'll cut it in the starting 11 every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldwood Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) Kelly at left back was poor last season so not sure why people want him there this season Because there two guys came up from Burnley under 19s doesn't make them players either A lot to prove Edited August 22, 2015 by donaldwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shull Posted August 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Funny to hear the smellies in the Cowshed revive the old 1970's and 80's songbook. Plus Paisley Buddie, Langfield being called a sheepshagger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TsuMirren Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 And if the Board do see it.......... What ? Exactly, clubs like us either put the money in to the Academy or to the squad...cannae have both. It's not England, where even Championship and League One clubs get decent tv money and can mostly ignore their academy. I don't even think our younger players are the issue, it's starting XI that needs worked on. Howieson doesn't look like a left sided wide player for starters.

flyingscot Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Kelly isn't a left back either and is a better centre back. If we've decided Conlon is pish we're better going with Stewart in that role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) Two Morton players taken off injured after challenges from St Mirren players, and a St Mirren player sent off for a wreckless tackle. Decide for yourself which team were the dirtier. It was actually Sir Thommo's challenges that led to injury on both occasions. The CH's injury was due to the way that he hit the ground when he fell, after a 50/50 challenge. Your 'keeper shat out of the challenge, rather than halving Thommo in two. Whereas Sir Thommo was fully committed to the challenge. And it's "reckless". With your four yellows to our one, plus a red, I'd think that both teams were equally culpable when it came to on field indiscipline.

Sonny Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 With Goodwin playing in front of the back four Agnew and Carswell should have been pushing forward and supporting thommo and they didn't. They sat far too deep and got in Goodwin's way. We had a better midfield when down to 10 men. Carswell hasn't particularly impressed me so far. Steady but unimaginative. If Goodwin is playing then Carswell shouldn't. Agnew likes, and has, a good shot. I would play him a lot further forward just behind thommo but we seriously lack a playmaker.
