steelboy Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 It's good to see him take the shot on with his left foot. Spittal had a decent chance not long before that but shat it from shooting on his weakest foot and wasted the opportunity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won 3-0; won the group; gained an unexpected seeded spot; and gave younsters more game time. SK & SF can be satisified tonight. We controlled most of the game and never looked in danger except for a very brief spell just before we scored the opener. It might seem odd having scored 3 goals but I thought that we were a bit toothless up front and lacked penetration - not surprising though given our lack of strikers. Most of our moves were frustrating - with some really good leading up play but the final ball being an inch or two out or defenders making last ditch interventions. We're getting there though. Oxborough had very little to do although I'd liked to have seen more of how he deals with high balls - the tiniest of question marks there. Souare looked good and I was very impressed with Paton - possibly the best he's played. Got wired in, very mobile and showed energy. Good to see young Miller have a good game and score the opener although I thought he sclaffed it. A fine passer of the ball. Slattery is getting back to his old self. Davos Z looked promising and put himself about well. Definitely looks promising but we'll see how he fares against bigger, nastier and better opponents. Thought the ref had a poor game - with inconsistent calls on fouls and he seemed to take an instant dislike to Bevis in his duels with our old acquaintance Nathan Austin. The lack of added on time was absurd. I would have expected 5 or 6 minutes given the injuries and subs. What if we'd been chasing one more goal in an effort to secure a seeded spot? Hopefully Wilkinson's injury isn't serious. A point I made to several of my fellow fans as we left yesterday. At that point we were one goal behind Ayr and out of the seeded positions. Injury time goals in two other matches have affected the standings, Ross County were winning 3-2 at 90 minutes and lost an equaliser in the 93rd minute (good for us as we got their seeded place), and Hamilton equalised in the 96th minute which meant, despite loosing the shoot out, they finished second in the group instead of Cove Rangers, potentially preventing Cove from progressing to the knockout stages.. There was an interview with an English (I think) refereeing supervisor at the end of last season when he was asked about the amount of added time due to VAR and his answer was pretty much that, you don't know how a goal may affect other teams in a league scenario. Bottom line is Clancy just isn't very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The match timing should be taken away from the ref, a separate official time keeper in the stands who stops the clock for injuries, substitutions and any other incidents etc, that would ensure we get the regulation 45 mins of actual play each half, would also put a stop to time wasting etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 The time added on, or not in this case, requires an answer for all the reasons discussed above. It hasnt adversely effected us on this occasion, but it could in the future. The authorities shouldnt be allowed to gloss over that. Also, why is the Dundee v Raith game being allowed to be played today? Again its not effecting things on this occasion, but it could have provided one of those sides with a sporting advantage by knowing exactly what they need to do to qualify/be seeded. I know Viaplay will have an input, but its generally accepted in other competitions that it cant happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 It is effecting things. Dundee know how many goals they have to win by. Clancy obviously thought the game was dead which was incompetent but we weren't exactly pushing hard for more goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant in respect of winning the group and seedings. But, yes, the 2nd place teams certainly have a beef. And of course its Inverness they play not Raith. My bad.......

It's not the OF, Hearts or aberdeen away, which is all seeding is good for, so I'll take it, then enjoy airdrie in the next round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's hopeless. He doesn't make any runs but is still somehow constantly offside. Are you ever happy about anything in your life ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
