Bobby Madden on Open All Mics said it should have been a pen.

Confident that's not a pen then with his track record for us against St Mirren.

Spittal had a similar appeal against County the other week that never even got a look at. 

Looked like he was already going down before any contact.

I say it every game but O'Donnell is howling. We go from Blaney to Butcher to Casey to O'Donnell who isn't good enough or quick enough to keep the ball and can't handle the pressure so he just floats it down the line to nobody and we give the ball away. Time after time after time. A very likeable guy but for whatever reason is awful these days. We can't keep the ball with him in the team and if we don't keep the ball we don't win football games.

 

As for Wilkinson, what does he actually offer? He's not quick, he's not skillful, he doesn't have a moment of magic in him, for a big guy he can't win headers. Another that is just mince.

 

We have sacrificed three in the middle so we can have two big men playing way out wide. This doesn't increase our attacking presence one bit, if anything it hinders it because Biereth is now isolated. Three in the middle with two up top who are close to each other would serve us far better. As for the two in the middle, Slattery has a bit of fight about him sometimes but that's about it. 

 

Someone posted Kettlewell's record earlier as to why he shouldn't be sacked. We are now 8, 9, 10, whatever it is without a win after today, he makes strange choices like this weird front 3 line-up and continually playing O'Donnell, his summer signings have been really awful. I'm grateful he kept us up last year but we are a poor team with no game plan, awful team selections, strange formations, terrible summer signings and without a win in months. His time is up.

 

And while we're at it, can we get an actual manager in and not the under 17s gaffer please

Got to question why Wilkinson is even on the pitch. He's done nothing 1st half. I would take him off and bring on anybody. Wilkinson is an empty jersey.

Not true, he tracked back at the end there and won a header against two hearts players at back post. Bair, on the other hand has been dreadful. Mind you long punts up the park for them to chase is hardly providing a service to them.

Well said.  Several players simply not good enough and have a manager running out of ideas fast.

It was mentioned earlier that it was denied due to handball from Boyce. Is that not the case? 

The guys on Radio Scotland seem to have changed their minds about that!

The latest theory is insufficient contact to award a pen, and Boyce didn't help himself by rolling about holding his head, when the minimum contact was to the chest.
