Heisenboab Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I would have started MacLean. Bowman up front and Fisher on the wing was painful to watch. Couldn't see those changes making any difference with the referee being as bad as he was. Couldn't see the first or third reds but going by what's going about online, all 3 red cards were dubious. Could never see Sevco or Celtic getting those cards dished out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superward Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 We've already said we will be appealing Dunne and Carson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 The ref had no impact on the first half when we were dreadful. If thats the best 11 we could start today we are in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't there but it just shows you the difference between stats and reality if that is the case. We had 60/40 posession in our favour and more shots on goal in the first half according to Bet365 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underboyleheating Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I really don't think Bowman is cut out to play at this level he gives 100% but so would I, we need to sign a striker no doubt about it A hard worker, but he will never get us the goals we need from a striker at this level.

Haggischomper Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I'm still raging at him whistling for a free kick to us when advantage was clearly the better option I miss the days when 3 sendings off meant a dirty game that was all blood and snotters, really nasty stuff. This today looked very, very tame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Were you there steelboy ? Doubt he was. Hard to believe we were 2-0 down as we were bossing it but lacked the cutting edge up front. The full game is one BBC Alba at 6 if anyone can stomach it. By all accounts reports suggesting that Carson and Dunne cards were harsh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 For McHugh to put in reckless tackle while on a yellow is hardly leading by example. Need him on the pitch....not the main stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Were you there steelboy ? Yes I was at the game. We were shocking. A bit better at the start of the second half but St Johnstone strolled it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brainier Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 One more and games abandoned, let's go boys. Would have needed more than one. Game is abandoned if a team go down to six.

Ya Bezzer! Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I like your new seething mess persona this season Suits you. I saw the game with my own eyes, did you? You'd have to be dead in the soul or totally deluded not to be angry with that performance. I made more effort getting here than most of the players did on the park. Totally unprofessional performance that was not even non league, it was juniors level. But yeah, keeping blaming the referees all the way to May. No surprise newly promoted Hibs turned over Rangers at Ibrox when we made excuses for not beating a rotten team at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukemfc1 Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Didn't think it was our worst display in the world but certainly a reality check after all the 'positivity chat' coming out the club. Didn't have a great view of any of the incidents other than McHugh's which summed up modern refereeing. Going to go out on a limb and say Carsons was dubious too. Generally I thought it was a typical game up there, absolute dirge at times. Launching balls up in there etc. Our defending was woeful and it looked like a knife through butter first half. Richard Tait in particular was pish. I know he is a favourite with some but he really can't defend to save himself. In contrast I thought Dunne did pretty well at times, technically though very limited. Going forward Bowman and Fisher tried their best but we need another option up there. We need quality.

For me, McHugh's first yellow was completely avoidable and it was a tackle he didn't even need to make. Hardly a stellar start to the season from our captain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... middleeastdave Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I would need to see McHugh's second yellow as he seemed to have got the ball, the other two sending offs were at the other end of the park and would be difficult to judge the decisions but certainly the linesman never flagged the Carson handling outside the box decision, which means a very close decision for Thomson to decide, which in my opinion he has to be 100% sure before giving the handling decision!! I think it was just an anti Motherwell decision day. I think it sums up when Moult beat 2 men and clear through when Thomson gives a foul for us, obviously advantage rule does not count for us.
