I don't primarily blame the clubs and I do understand this is not Engerland with their gazillions of tv cash, clubs here have to be practical and community focused, and yes Astro-turf pitches do help in that sense, but as far as the top league is concerned, if a club has the desire to play in it; then it's grass or you are not in, simples.

beyond our ken Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 1 hour ago, the barrhead teacher said: Fantastic result. Should have buried them in first half. Second half we lost just about every 50:50, but still created enough to finish them off. We sat too deep, perhaps forced back a bit by Dundee. Strain got the run around at the back but was immense coming forward. More pluses and minuses and we cannot complain about full points from first two games. Optimistic we will be very competitive this season and threaten a top six place again I think we will need to close off the gaps at the back and be competitive in the opposition half for the full match to be top 6. The better sides will punish the lapses at the back and will be both relaxed and confident coming forward if we are only a threat for 40% of the match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His full foot is behind the line & the ball is a couple of inches even further back hitting his angled shin. Another example in your head when your opinion becomes fact in your head... you have no idea if it was over the line unless you have a goal technology app that you can apply to Sportscene's coverage....or you are Frank Lampard who had a strong case that his was over line. I take it your convinced Hurst's wasnt over.... however Alex and Frank = no goal.... Geoff = GOALLLL and WC trophy...in other words ...its only a goal if its given .

The better sides will punish the lapses at the back and will be both relaxed and confident coming forward if we are only a threat for 40% of the match We’ve gone into 2-0 leads in the first 2 games. The dynamics change in those situations. The opposition start going direct and commuting players forward and they bypass our pressing game. But last Saturday, as Hibs pushed for the winner, we hit them on the break to get the winner. Every game will pan out differently. Had we gone in 0-0 at half time or even behind, Dundee wouldn’t have gone direct, wouldn’t have pushed players forward, and we’d have continued to dominate.

Indeed. It seems to be the team/manager to blame when the opposition have a say in the way the game pans out. The scoreline will dictate the response of the opposing team and, so far, we've came out on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did manage a first-half penalty against us even if it was poorly hit and our first goal would not have been so likely to happen against better defenders. The dynamics of yesterday worked out iincredibly well for us due to an attacking mindset, we just need to ensure we control things somewhat higher up the park and we definitely needed to defend better late in the day. It is possible to be able to dominate on your own terms and not rely on the opposition not being direct, otherwise how does anyone defend a lead. Our biggest shortcoming last season was the goal difference and when you score 5 goals in 2 games you have a platform to improve on. As I said, better teams will exploit those gaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't argue with that. The only conclusive thing is: that it was NOT a goal/not over the line. If it was then I think we'd maybe have seen evidence for that over the weekend eg - in the Final, conclusive scores. And also in the points tally for St Mirren.

However, current situation is that despite no conclusive evidence to back it up Baz says it was in so we are being cheated by the ugly sister supporting officials tarnishing our game etc.......
