Comments on here so predictable. First loss at County in 11 games I think. Fine lines. Better to lose 1 game and won 1, than draw 2.
VAR ridiculous. Score a goal and lose momentum because it takes over 5 minutes to give not offside. Should be automatic. Opponents get chance to reorganise and we try to keep warmed up. 🤬
After Patterson’s performance last night, SOD should cancel any summer holidays and prepare for a recall. The ex-R##### made more errors in each half of the game than SOD made in total in all his appearances. But haven’t heard mention of it anywhere.
Ally MacLeod?
We were supposedly the big fish in the league and MacLeod had money to spend. He did sign some good players for that level but failed to get the setup right and promotion. He boasted when he took over that we would be challenging for first division title within 2 seasons. It took Davie Hay to mould the players into a winning, entertaining team.. (And Jock Wallace to reverse it.)
My biggest gripe against MacLeod was that he played Willie Pettigrew out of position and May have been part of the reason that Willie left for Dundee United. (NOTE Only my opinion) Think MacLeod’s personality required himself to be the ‘big noise’ (and nose) at a club.
Think we all know the answer.
First 45 minutes should be used as an instructional aid for wannabee refs on how NOT to referee a match. Contained so many bad calls - too many to list. Possibly the worst I have seen - and that’s saying something.
Thought the captain was allowed to ask respectfully an explanation for a decision?
Strange game - not for first time this season. Watched a stream.
Up to 35 minutes would have bitten your hand off for a point. Yet by half time could have been in the lead.
As second half went on thought we were running out of steam and Hibs progressively looked like scoring. But it was disappointing to lose a highly avoidable goal so late. (As pointed out boot’s been on other foot.) Actually feared we might lose another.
Boring stats - we have won more points from a losing position than anyone else (maybe because we’ve been in that position more than anyone?) Fourth highest scorers and ……yes , worst defensive record. Maybe not always down to our defence. How many managers/coaches say ‘defending starts from the front.
Got to remember Hibs had no game on Saturday. Agree with above we looked leggy towards end of match. At least we didn’t lose. Saw Gent getting an earful from some of the team at final whistle.
Agree. But a gentleman off the park. He loved to talk about his throat time at FP.
His build did help. Occasional lapses. Remember him unfortunately losing early goal against Dundee Utd in second last game of season after we had ensured qualification for Europe.
Lost 2-1 - ended our slim chance of winning league. Think whole team had been celebrating their achievement. (Utd win ensured their safety.)
