David Posted March 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Unfotunately I think we have blown it right here. This was the game that would have taken us out of sight demoralised our next few opponents and now were in a dogfight. We weren't at the races today by any stretch of the imagination, but let's not get carried away now. We're still eight points clear in 3rd place, which is hardly a "dogfight". Once the split happens we have to play the teams around us, which means that 3rd place is still very much in our own hands. If we come through the post-split fixtures without taking anything from games against St Johnstone, Dundee United or Hearts then we don't deserve third. Simple as that. Better teams than us have lost at Kilmarnock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Not being at the races when we have a £1 mil carrot dangling in front of us is not good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orinoco Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 even if money for the club does not concern them, you would think a professional player would bust a gut to get the chance of champions league football. At this point in the season, players cant be excused for lack of effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finlay Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Perhaps not the smartest comment for him to make either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orinoco Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 to be fair it aint just our support. As for the individuals they are obviously from the schooling of negativity is the best course of support. Hopefully Tom wont dwell on it to much.

underboyleheating Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 If Hammell and Jennings are out (Lasley as well?) then I think the poor run against Rangers will continue. It won’t matter Finlay, I reckon our woeful record against Rangers will continue for the foreseeable future. As someone said, Rangers could field a team of under 15s and still hump us.

Rickoza Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 I remember we said we'd never win at Tannadice in the league ever again....then two stunning oggies and we got our first win in nearly 20 years. Gotta change sometime, gotta go our way sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 jenno and hammell won't be suspended until easter road. clancy and hutchy both got their 6th yellow at parkhead but were able to play against dunfermline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was why today was a massive opportunity missed and as highlighted the players are either believing their own hype or they thought they were going to stroll it today without moving out of second gear.

ONeils40yarder Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 That performance is very concerning in my opinion. If we cant get up for a game like that with the knowledge that we'd be going into 2nd place if we had won, then theres something far wrong. Thought we were pish in the 1st half but I though McCall woulg give them a rocket at half time and the 2nd half would be a different story. How wrong was I? The 2nd half was an abomination and we fell to bits, struggling to give passmarks to anybody. Randolph would maybe have got them if he would stop fucking launching the ball straight at the opposition keeper and Humphrey was our most effective player but still has the same old failings that he had when he 1st signed. The rest were fucking dire (including the subs, although at least McHugh and Daley seemed interested) and if we play like that against the currants then we'll get a fucking doing.

siebsbarmyarmy Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 I must admit Hately has been reacting pretty badly to our fans quite a bit this season. He doesn't look a happy bunny when something is said from the stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEWELL Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 To not be at the races today was a FECKIN DISGRACE!!!Make no mistake we'll get pumped next saturday then it's Easter Road against another team who dont seem to be able to beat any c--t except us. I just hope McCall locked em in the away dressing room and gave em FECKIN PELTERS. . Not a single effort on goal is criminal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milo Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Have better teams than us lost at Killie this season? I'm not sure they have. Especially not to such an injury ravaged team as Killie fielded today. I'm pretty sure Dumfermline, Hibs and Inverness have all win there this season also. It's the manner of the defeat more than anything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the manner of the defeat more than anything... Rangers......but I still agree with your point of view. 'Better teams' losing at Killie is not a valid argument after such a rank and half hearted display. All I ask for is 100% effort each and every game. No way was 100% given in the first 55 odd minutes or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mio Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 It's never good to hear supporters arguing with players family members, thats embarrassing!! However Mr Hateley deserves a bit of stick this season as he does not merit the status of "automatic choice" as he always seems to be!! In my opinion he's actually a very poor defender. Going back to the argument thing, i think its a terrible idea that the Players and Players families have to sit with the away supporters as there's always going to be drunk fu*kwits spouting p*sh!! Surely they can get a few tickets allocated for the Main stand!! I remember Andy Roddie and his burd suffering a 90 min verbal assault at Ibrox when he was sitting amongst us, quite a number of our fans even apologised to him after the game, totally humiliating!!

Cos he's a midfielder, not had much to defend this season tbh but when he has been put under pressure I reckon he's been found wanting. Good player IMO but not a right back.

Ya Bezzer! Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Wasn't at the match today but I listened on the radio and it sounded a poor show. I totally understand fans frustrations because this was a big game today and this squad has had a habit of bottling it in the big matches but perhaps we should wait until next week before there is too much negativity and invective. I certainly won't be writing of the game next week, more like building it up into our Cup Final. More than likely unless Rangers pull off an unlikely result tomorrow, we will have the chance to go second against an out of sorts Rangers. We are actually THE form side in the whole of the UK right now (5 wins on the trot) at home and we shouldn't be writing any game off. We have to put everything into the match next week. Excuses won't play. This is the chance for the team to prove they can do it when it really matters. It's do or die next week because if we don't do it we endanger a whole seasons good work.

Finlay Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 He's a FAR better RB than a Midfielder. I rate him at the back. Never a Midfielder in a million years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will no doubt play MUCH better than today, rise to the occasion, and get beat 2-1. Sadly, seems to be the way against the OF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 He's naturally a midfielder, just not good enough to play in midfield at this level. Makeshift right-back. Does a solid job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
