Brilliant goal from the middle of the park. Is JT the striker we've been looking for? 😍😍😍

Not sure why any of this needs to be a conspiracy at all. 1. Our officials are poor and often get decisions abysmally wrong. 2. Big teams always get more decisions in their favour. Especially at home. Its a tale as old as time. 3. There will undoubtedly be unconcious bias with all officials. As human beings, we all have that. As for the penalty. Thought it was a stonewaller in real time. Less so now Ive seen it from the side view. Fernandez hangs his leg out and there is definite contact, so I think its still a pen, but it is of the softer variety. If thats a goalkeeper going to ground and not getting the ball and the attacking player takes the contact and goes down, its being given all day long and he is praised for being "clever". Its 100% given at the opposite end, or at least reviewed by VAR.

Anyone watched Morocco? Asking for a friend! 😆😆😆

Delighted enough to let him play tomorrow night? 😆😆😆

Of the outfield players I thought Fadinger had a good game. But obviously its Ward......

Celtic are very good going forward. But they are wide open at the back. If we can get the balance of possession/attack right we could well get something from this. Could be a high scoring encounter. Please let us score 1 more than them!

Great first 20 minutes. Absolutely bossed them. But if you dont score when you are on top its gonna come back and bite you. The middle third of the game we were second best. Too many forced passes not coming off instead of trying to keep possession and settle it down again. Said was awful until the last 20 minutes. Slattery not much better when he came on. Both gave the ball away far too easily. I get that they play high risk football a lotnof the time and when it comes off its great, but when you are under pressure, just keep the bloody thing! Finished strongly and might have got the equaliser at the end (albeit we could also easily have conceded as we were so open at that point). Not sure we would have deserved it, but Id really like to see the Fadinger incident again as it looked like a pen to me. Disappointing. Frustrating. But miles above many of the turgid, gutless performances we have been acustomed to in Glasgow.

Maybe a Military Coup? It is Fife after all! 😆😆😆

I just want us to go there and impose our game on them and prove that we can. After that, I will take whatever result comes our way as there will be other factors that will determine the result over and above what we do.

Merry Xmas! 🧡❤️🧡

In a normal season, I would agree with this, as experience tells us this is the way things usually pan out. This isnt a normal season though. Im not suggesting we are in the title race, but to dismiss it like Sutton has shows the kind of arrogance that has led Celtic to where they are this season (with the money they have in the bank they should be miles ahead of everyone). FWIW I dont think Hearts are going away. They have the technology and the resource to strengthen in January and seem to be more astute in spending their money right now than Rangers or Celtic. We will need to address the striking position and get some cover in for Longelo and Welsh to be in the equation. But we have showed over nearly half the season that, if we can keep everyone fit, we are a match for anyone in the league.

Not bothered whether Jens plays Hendry or Stama. We will get a similar shift out of either and its hard to call which if any are more likely to score. Maybe Stama edges it as he at least has the confidence of his penalties to boost his confidence. I agree re Said and RCC. Although Id play Cookie on the left in front of Longelo. I think he is more effective there and Said can play fine on the right side. Id keep Slattery as a straight Just replacement as we will no doubt rotate fairly early with the 2 games in 4 days coming up.

Having watched both Rangers and Celtic today, I dont see anything for us to be worried about. Rangers are a bit more solid than Celtic defensively but they look pretty toothless. Celtic have more going forward, but they have been extremely wasteful of late and are wide open at the back. They only won today because Aberdeen played the whole second half with 10 men. Not saying we will win both games or even one of them. But they are not the scarey proposition they used to be. If we turn up and play our usual game and dont make any stupid errors we will compete and hold our own with both of them. As for Hearts. Yes they are a good team and are well clear at the top, but they have also failed to beat us twice, so lets give ourselves a little bit of credit!

Fair enough. Was more or less the point I was trying to make in the post you quoted.

I would have thought the first line of my post gave context to the rest of it? I never said we had a poor game. I said we were poor for the first 20 minutes, and that was in the context of how our expectations have risen compared to what we have had to experience over the last few seasons. Im not sitting here unhappy with our days work. Quite the contrary.
