I’m not blaming officials for our defeat. I’m calling them out for not knowing the rules. I’m not 100% sure but did the Hearts player actually move the ball with his head? Even if he didn’t, It looked to me like he tried to play the ball with his head while on the ground. So should be indirect kick for us.

Exactly! How the fk can officials arrive at PK decision? as I said earlier, not a soft penalty, a wrong decision.

It’s not soft. It’s just plain WRONG

Good non emotional response from JBA. of course he’s right, once again we gave ourselves several opportunities to win the game but didn’t take them and that’s when the other things beyond your control can affect the result. while we have hit a bad patch, results wise, there is no league game where we have been completely outplayed. Yes, some games have been tagged by fans as poor performance but that’s only because we reached such high standards during the season. But if you look at the stats, even in the games we have lost, we come out looking very well. So let’s hope the next step in our development is converting our superior stats into goals and points So despite some recent frustration and disappointment we are still in control of attaining euro spot amd still playing some good football and will hopefully get back to winning ways soon with the return of JK and Slattery.

That’s what it seems like but it might just be that our officials are just fkn terrible. That pk decision is just unbelievable. How can you review that incident and come up with that call???

Aside from the PK decision, what let us down was the 3 or 4 misses at 1-1. We made 3 great chances and didn’t get 1 of them on target. So not so much Hearts sussing us out. Both teams had 12 shots. Hearts had 5 on target Ww got 3 on target.

The guys laying on the ground trying to play the ball with his head. Dangerous play against him.

We should have went 2-1 up with our chances but there’s no accounting for penalty decisions like that.

Trying to play the ball with your head when ur lying down. Every minute of every day it’s dangerous play by the player trying to head it

How the fuck is that a penalty

Guys head is almost on ground. Should be dangerous play against hearts

This is bullshit

At least 3 or 4 not even hitting the target. Creating good chances but then missing target.

Great goal

That really annoys me because rules clearly state that’s obstruction if not within playing distance of the ball.

Need to keep focused and respond with more controlled aggression and not loose the head.

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.
