To be fair Tony was only on page 6 of The Hungry Caterpillar and wanted to reach page 7 before he came on.

You can't be serious about Polworth. He didn't waste a pass all night and played two absolutely superb through balls, the 2nd of which was probably the pass of the season.

This is far from over though - there's still Steelboy's appeal to be heard by the judge now....

Rubbish Tony Watt was behind the goals doing his warm up When Long went down the bench immediately signalled for him, I’m sure like the rest of us thought is was in connection with the heavy knock he took in the first half When the physio got to Long he immediately gave the thumbs up to the bench without even treating him. Long skipped past the County defender as if he wasn’t there to set up the 3rd goal. Oh and did you see his reaction to getting subbed after it ?? I would suggest that if you actually go to the games you pay attention to what is happen on the park

The problem is not with Long it's with the referees, if every player who kicked the ball away etc was booked every time by every ref, then players would stop it. But we have the situation week in week out where refs deal with the same scenarios differently . The standard of refereeing in Scotland is shocking, but as usual the SFA will do nothing to improve it, VAR wont help either, assuming the league etc can afford to implement it, as you will have some anonymous and unaccountable SFA employee watching the screen and calling the shots.

I may be sceptical but if a referee makes a decision on the field and later having had time to view the action/tackle etc. on television he may realise that he made the wrong call and will then change his reason to matchup with what he has seen on the television replay. I agree with the emoji at the end of your last sentence, it's a perfect indication of what both of us think the chances of that happening. Another inconsistent decision by the ref last night. Motherwell were awarded a free kick in the second half and the County player picked up the ball, walked away with it and as Richard Tait tried to knock it out of his hands the County player threw it away. The County player was correctly booked but what action by Tait justified a yellow card? No pushing, shoving, raised fists just a swipe for the ball.

Lets have a recap of last night in the cool light of day Excellent result and one that we badly need …… but let’s not get carried away there were some glaring deficiencies in that performance, although we were streets ahead of County until we got the 3rd goal all 3 points were still in doubt. Keeper : excellent goalkeeper one that I will be sad to see go, but his distribution … does anyone work with him to improve it ? (genuine question) Defence : With Hartley and Tait in there we struggle for pace both I think reached their sell by date. The way Hartley lost his man for 1st goal was criminal Gallagher for has dipped a little but is by far our best defender … Grimmy we he’s just Grimmy a good honest pro Midfield : Great to see Alan Campbell back and I thought O’Hara was excellent in the holding role ( more mobile than Donnelly) Polworth was also more like why he was earlier in the season Wingers : Think Hylton last beat a man about September why oh why can they just not try and do what Long did for 3rd goal beat your man get to the bye line and get the ball in Centre : Although not an out and out striker leads the line well and makes some terrific runs which are seldom seen by others , could do with a few goals Overall we have had a great season but there are areas of the team that need to be addressed Going forward would love to see Watt and Long playing up front as a 2 with Turnbull supplying the ammunition could be potent IMO Work needs to be done on the defence and soon against better opposition (Killie for example) it will be exposed big time

If you become a marked man it's usually because you continue a certain behaviour. Cut out kicking the ball away and the problem disappears.

Ages since I've seen a goal lift a team in the way O'Hara's did tonight. That sparked a complete turnaround and with one kick of the ball we seemed to have forgotten the last two months. I did have the fear about 20 minutes into the second half that we'd rue those endless missed chances, but we eventually had a player in Long who decided to just run a man and put in a blinder of a ball to Campbell. Two of many outstanding performers tonight. It's great to see the team still has a performance in them like that. Considering selling a kidney so I can afford to go to Tynecastle now.

Minor point but we went in 2-1 up at half time

Still not had yer hole i see.....

The whole Category A vs Category B thing is a ridiculous rip off - our club included. A game against Premiership opposition shouldn't vary in price.

We've suspected it for a while, but I think Edinburgh Sheriff Court just proved beyond reasonable doubt that you talk absolute shite.

Pretty naff comment, even for you....Any chance you and Yodo can transfer onto a “Love Island” forum permanently and leave this one to supporters ....just asking

In fairness that could have been said about most of them before tonight and possibly still about Polworth and Hartley.
