Think that's really unfair. Dundee Utd cup game last year, Hearts & St Jonhstone games recently, all huge, and won them all. Don't think bottle played a part today, more tactics.
Agreed it was a fucking atrocious decision, but it's the linesman at fault, not the ref IMO. One of the replays you can clearly see that the linesman shouts "corner!" into his mouthpiece (which I'm fairly certain goes to the ref's ear) and sticks the flag down. How he can't make the right call from 5 yards away is beyond me.
I'm gutted we lost but I thought the game was quite entertaining overall. I like big Higdon but I thought he had a bit of a shocker today. As for Tim Clancy, I thought he was absolutely awesome. First time I've seen him proper and IMO he was head and shoulders above everyone else.
Hope for a big improvement next week!
