In the first half our back four, not for the first time, played too narrow, more like four centre backs giving Utd the freedom of both flanks. We were lucky it didn't cost us dearly. In the games Laing played he surprisingly for a central defender didn't drift in so much.

Chris Sutton? Easy really ex Celtic darling. Pamper to the old firm fans. Works for the Rancid apparently. Does that explain? Reminds me a quote mentioned to me many years ago. Verbal diarrhoea. There are times when impaired hearing has benefits.

I am definitely not a Gomis fan, too slow of thought and deed, caught in possesion in the middle of the park too often, however have to admit he improved by a mile when Lasley went off.

Club should be making sure that this gets maximum exposure in the media and elsewhere from now until the final. Friday night will Craigan be on BT sport duty?.

Statistics and Damned statics (no criticism intended to anyone). In matches I have watched this season and that's most, the opposition have worked out at stopping Johnson by however means ie 2 or 3 players, not necessarily defenders, on him as soon as the ball gets close or the physical approach, a lot of it illegal, means that our attack options are very limited. In this situation there should opportunities for other players to benefit. Can be argued that MacDonald and Moult could/should benefit but likewise there is no support from our very limited midfield.

He was crap in his first two games, how he managed to get 27 plus posters in his first game was unbelievable, against Utd he had more midfield support but was still poor. Inmo he should be on the first bus back to Tynecastle.

I know it is guesswork re Chalmers however he played in midfield early season and was much more comfortable there than at fullback.

Would confirm there is not one. From the South Lanarkshire/Borders region and used the Wishaw supporters bus picking up at operators Carluke garage. Unfortuneately not always possible for me to make arrangements to travel to Carluke and support is not always there to make it economical to run. IIRC a few years ago the club asked on their site to say if any one interested from the outlying areas to leave name and postcode with car share a possibility but nothing came of it. Would need more details and more support but could be interested in a car share. PS Have even used the Edinburgh association (car share) to Dingwall but with our performances of late an almost 12 hour trip is out of the question.

Not surprised by all the varied opinions on who/what was wrong today. For my part I thought the shape was meant to be 4-3-2-1 and that Johnson and Pearson were supposed to be supporting McDonald with Cadden one of the midfild three. We have to stick with the formation that the players are comfortable with and perform to the best of their ability. Pearson especially is being asked to play in a different role nearly every game and i am sure that makes him look uninterested when really he is unsure of what role is being asked of him. If we are expecting Gomis to be the saviour of our season then we are in trouble if not already. In him and Lasley we now have the the two slowest midfielders in the country operating in our engine room. Caught in possesion far too often and easily brushed off the ball. We also appear to make drastic changes to the shape when substituions are made. In the latter part of match Gomis appeared to operating between Law and Kennedy. Expecting Ainsworth to make a difference with minutes left is unreal. He more than anyone needs time to get into the game.

Have I missed something?.

League Two for the latest signings

Pretty sure that development fee only applies if an offer has been made,not sure when the offer has been made is a factor though.

Would suspect that United will not be offering contracts to anyone until their end of season position becomes clearer. Funny old world. Last week wanted by Celtic, this week not wanted atall. Reportedly!!.

Shite referee? No atrocious would be a better description. Is there any half decent refs in Scotland. doesn't need to be good just half decent. This latest one was determined to make sure accies left withat least a point. Example Hall definitely committed the foul for the goal but the accies rb swung a boot at Marvin earlier as raced past him Had he connected damage would have been the result but no action taken.

There is a big difference in being allowed to leave and having some club make an offer.Having said I can see the club willing to let Robinson go Fletcher not so much. Remember players are in contract and it takes financial offers to persuade them to leave early.In that case it restricts our ability to bring players in. A lot will depend on the Grimshaw outcome. Even if he stays I could see a back up for midfield. Not convinced McGee rates him or Cadden. Sorry substitute Leitch for him. Fingers way ahead of brain again and they are not too fast.

To me Ripley was the deciding factor. His saves happened at crucial times in the game. He has had his critics but i said after his first game he "looks" like a keeper if you know what I mean.Hall had a good game. You woudn't know he only has had a few first team games. McManus appears to be giving him more support and encouragement than he gave Kennedy or Laing. Marv's talent is coming good again but I much prefer him on the left.However the setup allowed Pearson space on the left. He definitely does not get the support from refs. Skippy good, appears to have slimmed down a bit.Please have Ripley and Grimshaw stay.

Waiting on news. Drive from Borders area. M74 open one way with police escort. And the ref cant tell the time. Sure its not Collum?.

Chalmers lack of pace is worrying, only good positional play saves him from a roasting. Much more comfortable going forward,might be a steady if not brilliant midfield player.Hammell is not blessed with pace either. Johnson has/is putting a power of defensive work. Makes me wonder if that has contributed to his recent lack of form.

He must have a double then. Given 2 votes.

Oh and manage the team via twitter.

I have a suggestion. Sack McGhee and appoint six, no make it twelve, posters from here as co-managers.

Somebody will still vote him mom .Contributed nothing today.

Good yin, Weeyin!

One additional point. I was reluctant to fit in a 70 mile return journey to Fir Park during the week to buy a ticket and waited to see if pay at the gate was to be offered. No decision made by noon Friday so decided then my plans for Saturday did not include Douglas Park. Why it was all ticket God only knows. Amateur level at best and once again how not to treat football support. Wonder how many others felt the same. Then again if i had not watched so depressing football lately my decision may have been different.

Disagree we had no one up with play. The players were there but more often than not the final ball was poor. On one occasion when it was perfect Thomas completely missed it.
