Yep ref doesn’t like us. No idea why hearts got free kick at our box. Ward fouled, nothing. McGinn booked Devlin a talking to.

I blame grizzly for posts like this.

Let’s go 3-0 up and finish the game that way.

Can’t argue with facts but 😂 JBA will be playing top 6 so not apples to apples by end of season. the numbers also don’t account for how much more enjoyable it has been to watch our team play. while the bottom line is W L D record some other numbers are impressive at this stage of the season. Better goal difference than Celtic, best defensive record in the league. correct that JBA is not a legend but difinitely a breath of fresh air amd possibly a legend in the making.

Keep in mind, as noted by a previous post, that there are added requirements for our squad if we get into Europe.

I think Nicholson is the most similar to Slattery but probably only good for 45 mins or an hour. I’d be tempted to play Oscar and push Fadinger or Watt forward a bit and bring Nicholson on for secomd half or last 30 mins. We’ve been playing JT as striker and I don’t think that’s working. Perhaps play more like we did against Celtic at Fir park or else Said to bench and Thor at striker with JT playing off him.

Unless they win the cup

New and improved? 😂

I only saw bits of the game but from what I seen JT looked very isolated amd in general it didn’t look like we played as a team today.

Haven’t seen all of the half but Just, Said amd JT not showing much. Passing terrible. Falkirk much better than us.

Is that a sign that JBA might be staying? I’m hoping he is waiting to cement a place in Europe amd then commit to Another season

Maybe we’ll see a rejuvenated JT grab a few goals.

I got lazy

Hoping we win and all other top 6 teams drop points amd that’s it pretty much till end of season.

I saw that just after I posted here.

Hope Eli has is case packed and heading to the airport. We will need him for the run in, especially next two games with Slats out. perhaps the Slats fiasco will be a rallying call for the players amd JBA will have them well Drilled and fired up for this game. He’s had two weeks to work with JT on getting back to scoring form. If we can get back even close to our best then we should be able to secure all 3 points.

So when do we see the OF punishment for the scenes at cup game?

Not sure we are leaping to defense of our player. Most well fans were not pleased With Slattery I think we are all up in arms regarding the OTT response from authorities. Or should I say inconsistent response. there should be a boatload of these retroactive punishments for simulation. I’d expect to see it every week.

Slattery has no control over sending him off. Yes, it was embarrassing and as someone else noted, he should have had a yellow for simulation. It was the incompetent officiating team that decided to send the player off.

What statement did the SFA issue with the ban?

So will every player who gets booked for Simulation get the same 4 game ban? they should!!!

First post says 4 game ban ok I read article. 2 game ban with 2 suspended

This is ridiculous. Diving is not even a red card offence. Who decided to review this and who decided to dish out 4 game suspension? This is way over the top!! Smells of corruption !! this has never been done before. Where the fknin the rules and regulations does it allow them to review this and asking a four game ban for a yellow card offence.

What I’m hoping is that JBA stands up and publicly commits to another year at Fir Park. Can you imagine What an effect that would have on the place? Sadly, I know that’s not going to happen and the best we can hope for is that he actually does end up staying. Even that is probably less than 50/50 chance, so hopefully we have a plan to quickly fill JBA’s position so we can have a manager in place before the window opens.

I see New Zealand second game is on Monday March 30th which is practically Sunday in Scotland so hopefully, barring injuries? Just should be good to go for the Falkirk game.
