it was one of our forwards so how could it be a clear goal scoring opportunity?

Really?? I’d have to see it again but i thought he got the ball. Having said that when it happened I was jumping up shouting for a Foul

I think he means Donnelly

I wouldn’t be very happy if our player got red card for that.

What’s the difference between the Killie challenge and Gillespie’s challenge on O’Donnel? The Killie defender slid across Long hit the ball and then Long fell over his legs. ...... I’m thinking that the ref thought the defender did not get the ball.

Never a straight red

Ohh that’s right. I forgot that. Showed it well in the replay. In fact I thought he actually have deflected it with his arm. Apologies to Alan Campbell.

Meanwhile at the other end I’m still not sure how Campbell missed and then our 3 v 1 effort was dreadful. But as mentioned we got what we needed and many a time we have came away with nothing when we deserved better so bring on Livi. COYW

Live stream showed replay from behind the goal angle and yes, tremendous movement on the ball. Really a terrific save

Dreadful stuff but 3 points

We desperately need a third goal

Yes cause he was in the middle

At last

Cole out on the right a lot. Not working

Hylton pretty ineffective. Long and Cole not doing a great deal either

Well that’s shite

We need better quality balls into their box

Yaaaaaaas

Sticking with long and Cole. But options to change that up depending on how the game goes. Someone posted earlier hoping for Scott Cole and Hylton so maybe we will see that at some point.

Although we have given up a 1 goal lead on 3 occasions this season already, admittedly two of those against the old firm. Maybe we will have learned how not to give up a 1 goal advantage. 3-1 for the good guys.

I would agree on both defense and attack

Don’t disagree with your point but also in another way it’s not in isolation it’s in comparison to 9 other teams in the league. The more you shoot the more you score. We had issues for a couple of seasons where we were only getting a limited number of chances and missing them. You can improve that by better Finishing or by upping the number of efforts on goal. Having said that, yes, how much better could we be if we did improve our conversion rate? No argument there and of course we can do both. Up the number of efforts and increase conversion rate !

For all you say “ lack of goals” we are the top scoring side apart from rangers and Celtic ....but more goals are always good

I also might add that another feature of the modern day game seems to be coaching goalies to not catch the damn ball. So Gillespie’s error, in part, may be attributed to modern day coaching.

I think it’s modern tactics. A lot of teams don’t put players on the posts. Not sure why since I see that same scenario week after week. I am still a fan of putting your shorter guys on the posts
