Its a shame that they are having their occasional meltdown a fixture to early, hopefully they're honking next weekend as well.

Callum Lang scores for Wigan.

Hopefully we can build upon our first half performance from last week, it was refreshing to see us actually spray the ball around the pitch with confidence. Any points would be most welcome tbh but it will be no easy task. The game at Ibrox was a hard watch but the game plan almost worked barring that 15 minute late collapse. I feel we will approach the game differently tomorrow, it will be interesting to see how Alexander lines up. I would love us to win via a Ray Farningham type scenario but I don't feel we are capable to sit back for so long. Least one benefit of this match is we'll only have the onw game against Celtic to play do hopefully going forward we will be able to get points on the board.

While I agree all fans will look out for their own clubs self interests (Mr Squirrelhumper has already been on here before defending the keech plastic pitch to the hilt), most 'Well fans did seem to agree the punishment was quite harsh initially that was of course until all the reasoning came to light. It's not as if they were unfortunate and suffered a general covid-19 outbreak, they broke the rules that were set out while other clubs are putting in place stringent measures and they ended up paying for it. Hopefully we pump them in both the games, it's just laughable that they are convinced that they have been wronged.

Archer also on the bench as well, obv hindsight is a wonderful thing but it was a shame he didn't kick about until after the Accies game.

full time. great three points

Polworth should have killed it off.

Goooal Jake Carroll

Polworth with a goal

Yass Devante

3-1 Shagggggggggggge meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Declan Gallagher goal

Yeah, particularly frustrating when Hibs avoided a booking for there laughable attempt to win a pen earlier. Hopefully we can be a bit more street smart.

Ref has been pathetic, Stevie O'Reilly type performance. Hibs players throwing themselves to the deck at the slighest contact. Questionable pen also. We need to be more clincal as we are creating chances, Moult shot off the bar. Hopefully recreate another great second half performance and hope the ref improves.

Out of interest what was the virus and injury that essentially put paid to his career at this level? I know he had an illness or such during pre-season but nothing was really mentioned in great detail. From what I heard was that McGhee wanted to punt both Laing and Kennedy due to the sizeable wages they were on, even Wes Fletcher seemed to be having a go at the treatment he had received which seemed at dig at the club. Anyway good luck to the guy always seemed to give 100% to the cause.

I do enjoy the banter at football, but none more so when it comes to bite you back in the rectum.

My good friend (its not shitey arse btw) currently plys his trade with the Accies these days, was chatting to him earlier about the game and he was saying they were absolutely pishing themselves at the decisions they were getting away with hence why imrie and co ripped the crap in the 2nd half more so. Still beeling from the penalty decision, looking back at the game at NDP earlier in the season a similar scenario happened around the 90th min where an Accies player handled echoing what happened at the weekends game and we got heehaw. The standard of referees in this country really is pathetic.

I thought those stutter step ups were supposed to be stopped, rule change was introduced just before the World Cup, mind you prob just be made to retake. Just stomached the highlights again, really harsh pen to give, noticed that Thomson didn't bother blowing the whistle until after it was saved and cleared, was in the Stevie O'Reilly book of refing that performance. After Grimshaws shot hit the bar just felt like it wasn't going to be our day seeing that they seemed to be getting there share of good fortune. Also don't get the Vigurs love in on here. Fantastic goal no doubt, but it seemed each week people were discussing what a marvelous player he can be, still waiting to see that. Surprised he never treated to us to his usual pirouette which was generally followed by losing possession.

In fairness though I reckon the worst goalies always make the best coaches, just a case of teaching them what not to do, Woods will have a bag of tricks in his locker. As for the game itself, I am confident we can pick up all three points if we can carry on how we have been playing. St Mirren and County have tricky ties so it could be a massive weekend.

Stevie Ferguson!

We can now adopt the old Craig Brown scotland tactics. Possible Team Long Reid, Kerr, Laing, Ramsden, O'Brien, McManus, Hartley, Hammell, Straker Sutton - (Don't forget to track back)

The guys an absolute tit wank, 15 seconds into the game Straker and a St Johnstone boy both contest a high ball both miss it then he blows for a foul, some decisions are mindboggling. Always needs to be the center of attention and ruins games, by far the worse ref in the league. Couldn't get his red card out quick enough for the laing incident, looked like laing miscontrolled the ball then the St Johnstone player tried to wrestle the ball off him then they both fall, will be interesting to see again, even the BBC reporter noted that it was harsh decision. It was the same up at Rugby Park earlier in the season. I know the refs in our league are rank rotten but he is by far the worst.

Seen this on their wiki page a few days back.

Looking forward to the game. Expect it to be another tight affair with the well just edging it. 2-1 Sutton and Anier with the goals. Would honestly give my left nut to pip the sheep on the final day esph after how lucky they have been with decisions in previous encounters against us this season.
