That bloody idiot Kettlewell can't even organise the weather for a big game. It's not as if he didn't know this game was coming up. It's stupid mistakes like this that prove he's not going to have long left in this job. Ooot his depth !

Will we win 2-1 and have all the usual suspects on complaining again ? Or will we lose 2-1 and have all the usual suspects on complaining again ?

Great cross from kaleta with his left......

Taken me till now to get over how fucking gutted I am at the result, and to a certain extent, the performance. Would certainly be the first to say that Ketts got the subs totally wrong. I think a lot of people would have liked to see us go toe to toe with them early, like we did against Celtic. First though, it has to be acknowledged that they simply have better players than us. You could probably take the income of their two top earners and float our entire club on it. FFS they lost the equivalent of more than three years of our turnover last year, and thats taking into account ther fact that their income is huge compared to ours. They just have the money (temporarily maybe 🙂 ) to have better players than us. Add to that the expanse of the pitch at Hampden and teams who try to match the Glasgow Arse Cheeks can easily come unstuck pretty quick. This is exactly the same reason that Rangers get pumped every time they play Celtic these days, cause they've got the pace and ability to tear them apart on a big pitch. I'm not saying the manager got it right, far from it, but a right into them, press high approach could have seen us turn into Aberdeen in their semi, so I can understand the approach to a certain extent. However, the subs were just bizarre. It's basically just gutting, especially after getting our noses ahead with the first decent attack we had.

Just back in from the game, which for one reason or another became a 12 hour round trip. Gutted at the result. We didn't play particulrly well but having got our noses in front I thought we might have calmed down and maybe managed to get the ball down and hold it more. Like another poster above, I completely lost heart at the subs, given that we needed someone who can control and hold a ball up, I was expecting Watt to come one. Even half fit, his ball control is better and his ability to collect the ball and win fouls or hold it up is well known. Also kind expected to see Moses instead of Robinson. In the end we went out with a whimper although, a lot of players ran themselves into the ground today. Crowd were great as well, apart form my phone vid of the teams coming out just became a wall of coloured smoke 🙂 Laugh of the day was a steward running down the stairs to chin a guy for vaping while the kick off delay for the smoke to clear was still going on 🙂

Brilliant !!!!!!!!! Unlikely win, given how we finished the 1st half, but played much better 2nd half.

YYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Terrible defending, both in the lead up and the goal. Thats a proper makeshift back 3 now.......

For fuck sake. We now have a VAR delay and it's not even a check.

Thank fuck for that !!! Nice to be able to celebrate a goal 3 mins after it happens.

Computer says no.....

You must be delighted after all the recent wins. Could almost hear you cheering when the goal went in.

Tickets arrived this morning 🙂

Yeah, that was good. I'd expected to hear that the manager was oot his depth and his team selections prove that he won't be in the job much longer. I'm starting to think that maybe the staff employed by the club might actually know more about football than some people on a forum. Wilson has been excellent and is getting better with every game.

Agree, I said at the start of this season that the difference between our defence last season and kettlewell's period the season before was the lack of a 'dominator and organiser' centrally. Butcher did it and I'm pretty sure we would have been expecting to come back as his old self early in the season last year. Bevis, for all his dominance in the air, was not a shouter/leader/organiser. He really needed orgainised himself. Liam Gordon seems to have the voice, the organisational skills and the ability to play that role. Mcginn and Casey were great along with Butcher and gave little away. Hopefully that will keep up with Gordon in there.

Thats a great result !!!!

O'Donnell you tit !

Second to everything at the moment.....

Thats what Ketts was calling him in interviews and I'm sure i heard Irons on commentarry saying thats what the players call him.

Balmer for Casey, AP for Moses.

If we beat them at Hampden I think I'll manage more than a semi !

There's a few that don't post when we win. Next defeat though, expect a load of posts demanding the manager's sacking.

Fuckin brilliant !!!!!!!

JHC on a bike......this fuckin' ref !!!!!
