You calm doon. It’s a match thread to discuss the lineups and the game itself. Last night we shipped three goals and drew with a lower league side. That’s a statement of fact and we will need to be better in the remaining two games in order to progress and hopefully do so as group winners. There may be a pre-season element to these games but they are still important to us as a club as a Cup run would be great for us.

I don't take pleasure in it, it's more that I just don't understand fans who put certain players on a higher pedestal than the club itself. Faddy and Moult being the prime examples.

Well I’m surprised and delighted that we got the job on on pens. But big questions need to be asked of our squad and especially Mugabi and Lamie. We cannot rely on either of them.

We all know how this ends. But we can have no complaints, because if you can’t defend then you can’t win football games. Hopefully Kettlewell will realise that Lamie and Mugabi just won’t do for us, at any level.

It’s not “just a cup game”. These games are important and this competition is important. We’ve been poor defensively tonight and if we draw/lose on penalties then it will hamper our chances of progressing in the last 16.

Red card? Edit: Lamie, second yellow.

Listen then.

It’s coming, just watch.

Shambles.

Let’s just wait

Yes!

Penalties defeat looming.

Slattery!

HT 1-1 This could go either way by the sounds of it.

Or maybe not according to LiveScore?

Almost a year to the day since his brain fart against Sligo too. He just cannot be relied on.

If that’s the case then it’s another big indicator of why we cannot rely on a Lamie/Mugabi central defender partnership. We’ll be lucky to get back in this imo

1-0 QoS. Mugabi slack at the back according to the radio. Depressingly familiar

Nope, can’t get anything atall unfortunately. Open all mics on Sportsound will need to do.

Perhaps, though he is on the bench so you’d have to imagine that we will be seeing him at some point tonight. Think this is going to be a tight one.

It’s just a sad reflection of Scottish society to be honest, not just our support. There’s too much fear and cowing of Celtic and obsession of Rangers and far too much credence is given to both of them.

Interesting lineup tonight. Oxborough gets the nod in goals, Souare starts as does Ferrie, McGinn and Lamie. Some bold moves there and I hope they don’t backfire on us as they so often have in the past when we start pissing around with lineups in Cup ties. These games as important as winning can be the difference between being seeded or non seeded for the last 16. It’ll be interesting to see what Oxborough can do for us and also we get the chance to see what our latest signing can offer.

It’s attitudes like this that empower Celtic and the victim mentality which they and alot of their supporters have and use to their advantage to bully and manipulate everyone in Scottish football and society to get what they want. What they think/don’t think/want/don’t want/like/don’t like should have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with what design of strip we have. And I’m sorry, but you clearly DO care what they think, otherwise why even mention the green brigade “having a field day” etc?

It’s a positive for us a as a club that we haven’t taken yet another gamble on Moult as the last thing we need just now is to bring in an injury prone striker who is untouchable with a large section of the support. No harm to the player himself, I loved watching him playing for us and nothing will ever take that day at Hampden away from us or him. But that’s all in the past now and there’s no room for sentiment. And for the misty eyed fanboys who were desperate for him to sign again… #Hey there you with the sad face come up to my place and live it up. You, there wi yer Moult top on what do you cry for? let’s live it up# 🎶 No one is bigger than the club.

Yeah I’ve said it many times before but it would be absolute lunacy on turbo if we signed Moult again. Even by our standards that would be absolutely mental. The guy is done, crocked, finished. It cannot and must not happen. We need players who are able to contribute, not a guy who has spent the last five years on the treatment table.
