Still not sure what point you are trying to make re Morrison, players get loaned out 1. To develop them , get game time and come back a better player 2. Because they are on the fringes of the team, not seen as likely to step up and basically surplus to requirements, loan them out and run down their contract at minimal cost to the club . I suspect Morrison is option 2 so simple question if SR called him back and put him straight into the 1st team as you suggest, would he be better than Carson or Gillespie?

So you think Morrison, playing in a team currently 42nd out of 42 teams in Scotland with the worst goal difference in their league is a better option than Carson and Gillespie, okay then .

The women's team won the league with a few games to spare, promotion to the top division at last

As I thought no sensible alternative offered for discussion, just the usual negative trolling shite, whatever makes you happy

You seem to be the forum arse with all the answers, none of them relevant but you are entitled to your opinion, so I will bite, SR is sacked who would you bring in to improve things 7 games into a season, ?

Nice one, I deserved that

The ugly sisters avoiding each other in the semi,s again , I bet that was a surprise to most people

That style as you put it took us to 2 National finals last year, so if we had won either 1 or both of them I assume me you would not have celebrated , you really are beyond belief , it's boring now.

Our reserve team must be the envy of the football world, full of young players ready for the step up to the 1st team at a moment's notice and now the manager as well, UEFA must be thinking of sending a delegation to see how we do it

Stats and percentages what would we do without them, convenient and adaptable for every argument,

Aye like you with the "game over " after 20 mins pish

So on what evidence are you suggesting these players are ready for the step up to the 1st team ? Doing well against similar and in many cases poorer opposition each week is a million miles away from playing against a premiership team every week. If they were good enough they would get their chance, the same way Cadden , Campbell and others before them did. The reality however is that the vast majority of that reserve side will never make it at the top level, so I am sure if Crags, Hammell or SR thought a player was ready and able they would get the chance, until then we need to bring players in.

There seems to be this mistaken belief that the reserve team is full of players ready to step into the 1st team at a moment's notice, but if that was the case why are we signing players and spending cash we don't have lots of. I think the reality is there is nobody in the reserves ready and /or good enough to make the step up to the 1st team, that may change but not now

Stop talking shite, Carson hardly got his gloves dirty before he went off and Gillespie only had 1 or 2 saves to make. Hearts were feckin average at best it was a 0-0 all day long until we gifted them the goal.

Bigi for me, he was outstanding all game, that ball in for mchugh's goal was a thing of beauty, and the corner at the end right into the danger area, superb. Oh and a special mention for Sammon he is feckin awful .

Yaaasssaas get in there. Hartley 3-3 ya feckin beauty

Don't think it's game over yet, we were 2-1 and comfortable then shit defending gives them 2 goals, . giving Lafferty a free header is never a good plan and the least said about the 3rd goal the better. We are still in the game, next goal is massive

Yaaaas what a ball in from bigi and header from McHugh, get in there,2-1 this mob are there for the taking.coyw

It wasn't serious foul play,it was robust and strong forward play by Bowman,

Bad news for Jamie Murphy, he is out for the season , more evidence to support the call for plastic pitches to be banned. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45273618

No idea what they are called this season Dave, there seems to be a variety of terms used, colts, u20's, u23's, development league team, I just call them the reserves or 2nd team its easier.

If the rumours I heard at the Accies game are to be believed Sammon is allegedly on 4k a week at Hearts , and we are paying 1.2k of that .

Always confident and as for Sammon I have never rated him, I think he is brutal so if that means we have Johnson and Main up top, then that's a bonus.

FFS the usual suspects are getting the doom and gloom pish in early, just for once try talking up our own abilities rather than all the negative shite about how good Hearts are, any team managed by Levein is suspect irrespective of how good their current form is, they are beatable.

Would have preferred a home tie but we avoided the ugly sisters and Hearts are nothing special so it's a game we can win
