I assume he was pretty anonymous tonight and most fans didn't notice his contribution. A great night for us in what was a difficult game. This squad is shaping up nicely and we seem to have battling qualities about us now. Credit to the players and management. Safe journey back for our travelling fans. Looking forward to the highlights. Was our new mascot, Steelman, responsible for the win tonight?

Likewise, but this is the starting line up I was expecting, Heneghan apart maybe. It looks a bit unbalanced and it'll be interesting how our left flank fares. Definitely a more cautious and defensive set up.

Whats the current situation Iain?

This. Not many amongst our support will be sorry to see him move on. Robbo has certainly shipped out players he doesn't fancy. Normally in these situations the player leaves by "mutual consent", but given recent events and the club's unusually terse statement I suspect the terms were not that favourable to him.

No, there is indeed more to get upset about on the playing side. That doesn't mean we should ignore sectarianism though. We played our most recent game against Rangers on Sunday and that game is what this thread is about. When Celtic come to town and, if their support indulges in sectarianism (they do have previous as we know), then I'll feel equally entitled to make the same kind of comment at the appropriate time.

It was certainly loud and clear from the South Stand. While certain verses were a bit muted they were certainly still sung and audible.

Is MacLean better than Bowman or Dunne? In short they're different kinds of player. I've never been one to play square pegs in round holes. Surely a manager has to have a preferred system or perhaps systems for his club and all the players are familiar with it. Players are brought in who can play to that system. Its no use asking a plumber to do a joiner's job. While both work in skilled construction trades, those skills will be very different. I haven't quite figured out Rose yet but Campbell is clearly a very different kind of midfielder. Irrespective of how good they both are had Campbell been brought on then our system would have had to change slightly. Had we been sitting on a narrow lead with say 10/15 minutes to go and under pressure then yes Campbell is your man. However we were chasing an equaliser and were very much on top. I don't think we had another midfielder on the bench with the necessary attacking skills. Ross MacLean might have been a decent replacement, as might Shea Gordon, but neither were available. In retrospect we had just too many strikers on the bench and not enough attacking midfielders.

Don't forget the Sash too. Are they banned songs? I suppose it depends on who is singing them and where they're singing them.

We're by no means alone in this regard. Most Scots teams are the same and is the English Premier League any different. I'm afraid thats modern day football. The days of Willie Kilmarnocks, Baldy Shaws and Joe Warks is long gone. Our team of 10 years ago also contained "mercenaries" like Chris Porter, Simon Mensing, Simon Lapping, Jim Patterson, Stephen Hughes, and Ross MacCormack.

No point in further speculation. Just wait and see if he plays at Castle Greyskull.

Play him in the right position and he do'll the business. Interested clubs will be well aware of that and the fact he's not match fit.

All speculation. Bigi has already played in the League Cup and don't forget the SFA approved his registration. Time this rumour was quashed.

The winner takes it all.

Great point. In the first half, all too often Moult was outside of the box when the crosses were put in and there was no-one to get on the end of them.

Surely its not beyond the capabilities of a publicly owned organisation as large as the BBC to employ informed and unbiased commentators and pundits.

I hope not. What has become apparent is that we seem to have good cover for central midfield holding players but very very few options for attacking central midfielders.

I wish Richard Gordon and Willie Miller would stop criticising us on BBC Sportsound for not accepting Aberdeen's bid for Moult. This pair of clowns carping on and on is very tiresome. Moulty is under contract to us and if any club won't meet our valuation then we have every right to reject the bid.

If Bigi isn't fit I'd play either MacLean or Gordon alongside McHugh in the middle. Although Campbell might be top of the youth central midfield pecking order, he is more of a defensive player. Plummer is a defender. We need someone with a bit of dig and ability to go forward. Now if McHugh wasn't fit that would be a different matter as Campbell would his natural successor.

Hopefully lessons will have been learned from today's defeat.

Forgot to add - the referee was a D-.

Result was no great surprise and I left the ground thinking we could have done better. In school terms a C+ "Did ok overall but with some significant weaknesses and plenty of room for improvement". Disappointed that Biggy didn't play and he was a huge loss. Surprised that Rose was given the nod and he was totally anonymous. Our tactics in the first 25 minutes were nothing short of shambolic and it would seem that we didn't do our homework on Sevco. Tait was all over the place and badly caught out for speed but he knew that and was none too pleased with Cadden and for lack of support and others for lack of direction. Moult played in every position except goalie and main striker. Tanner tried his best and was passable but again was being asked to play right across the park and as a sole striker at times. Our equaliser settled us and the second half was far better although we were always going to find it difficult to score with such a toothless front line. A poor first half but far better second one. McHugh missed Biggy and had a poor game by his standards. I thought Kipre was excellent and Big Ben wasn't far behind. Dunne too had a reasonable game and although he doesn't have Stevie Hammell's style and panache on the ball he's a more solid defender. I was disappointed that Ross MacLean wasn't asked to fill in for Biggy to give us some dig and attacking ability in the middle but he wasn't even on the bench - perhaps he was injured. Suddenly our midfield options look very limited. We look to be a shade better than last term and the new guys have still to settle in, but we need to improve markedly defensively and in attack. It was ironic that rangers fans were "allowed" to bring in smoke bombs but 70 year old guys had umbrellas confiscated not to be returned (yes, it was wet day). Officialdom gone awry and overboard.

Kipre for me. Heneghan also had a very good game. Cadden had a jekyll and hyde performance - good going forward but poor defensively. Felt sorry for Tanner he was playing all over the place and still put in a decent shift.

So what we're saying is that he looked good and was entertaining but didn't actually do anything?

We've been guilty of this in the past but then again have we had a fitness team?

Hopefully there'll be no Rangers fans in the south end of the POD Stand. Time to move them to the Cooper or East Stand. Agree about our fans buying tickets for them. It does go on unfortunately and anyone found out for doing this should be banned.
