mfc Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 Gutted,atleast we showed a bit of character to get back into the game,something that's been lacking all season.its just another game that shows some aren't up to the job,I'm not mugabis biggest fan but why is magloire playing in front of him when we know mugabi will be here next season,lawless is rotten,it's about time we sent a player livingston's way,get him out the door in the summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's scored 6 or 7 for us as well. don't know why we brought on Lawless. Hastie had a big impact on the Morton game and buried his pen. With his pace he'd have caused problems.

In most other seasons I would normally agree, but at the moment, with finances tight because of covid, I think we need to play the strongest team to finish as high in the league as possible, to maximise prize money, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 Why is Carroll not playing? He’s been in the bench past few games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not over we have 7th place to play for, extra prize money, gutted we lost today as we have been rock solid in penalty shootouts recently, so a big chance missed, as has been said before apart from the uglies there is very little between the other teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 Penalties aren’t about luck, they are about quality and more importantly bottle. We lacked both tonight and that’s why we lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbybingo Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 That turned out to be worth watching. Well done most of the players for keeping going, can't complain about the effort. Tony Watt proves even one really good player can make a huge difference. Lawless shows you what happens when you sign duds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see us fight back but as before we are nowhere near good enough to win it. I just can’t wait for this season to be over, before it started many of us were confident but it’s ending up being a total damp squid.

Carrol had a couple of poor games and was dropped. Im relatively sure he signed a contract extension just before getting dropped. I think he's marginally better defender than McGinley .

couttsy Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 Gutted, but as others have said, at least we battled back into it and looked the more likely to win it in ET. Cracking header from Watt and he made a big difference when he came on, just a pity he wasn’t fit enough to start. Presume Watt would have been on the last pen.

I thought McGinley was stronger defensively than Carroll and miles better going forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think there's a lot between him and Carroll. Carroll's delivery is slightly better. Can see us keeping both of them as long as they aren't among the higher earners...

Re-signing him now was akin to Alex Burns re-signing after a good season at Partick Thistle, ie. totally pointless. And Burns probably contributed more during his two spells. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the state we were in, I hoped he'd bring something. He's a trier, but looks like that's it. Never seen anyone with such a low centre of gravity fall on their arse so often.

real dosser Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) Once again Scottish refs shown up to be totally f*****g useless. Supposedly one of our top refs and doesn't know there have to be 2 players behind the ball for a forward to be onside. Then when McGinly fouls Hallberg he watched him having a kick in the back while McGinley is lying on the deck. OK there isn't too much in it but the intent is there.I Gallagher belt in the mouth took at least 4 minutes and Hibs player off for blood removal but Beaton blows for time.

When he came on as a sub against The h**s he pinged a couple of really excellent passes out of defence and everyone was desperate to see more of him. Looks like that's the only thing he's ever going to do for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positive play only came when his hand was forced. Our defeat today lies squarely at his door. Hibs are the third best team in the country by a distance. We took them to penalties and created enough chances late on to win it. Alexander’s tactics may not be pleasing on the eye but we came close to producing a very special win there. If we had a fully fit Watt and Roberts at our disposal, I imagine our approach would have been somewhat different. If any blame is to be apportioned for tonight, it lies squarely with Lawless.

So the fact we could play as we did in the last 20 mins in extra time was a fluke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
