I agree that the handball law, and its interpretation generally, is a shambles. However, as far as last night goes, the shot was on target (IMHO) and Hanley's arm is at about 75 degrees away from his body, under the current rules it was a stonewaller, as was the Livi one. My real complaint is the BBC ignoring the facts to fit their narrative.

A thoroughly entertaining watch last night with no failures at all right through the team. The last hour was a masterclass in how to play against 10 men, something we have really struggled to do for quite a few seasons now. If I was being really picky, we ended up trying too many fancy flicks and tricks when there were better options available, I did laugh out loud when Said did that jump though. On another note, the BBC match report claims that the shot handled by Hanley for the Penalty "with Just prodding the ball against the outstretched hand of Hanley from close range." David Grey claimed " "The shot is clearly going miles wide. Grant hasn't made himself any bigger, he's not even trying to block the shot." A statement later repeated in a different BBC story about the Livingstone non-penalty on Saturday. It would seem too much to hope the BBC would at least watch the playback of the incident before spouting cack like that, their own highlights show that lie up for what it is,

Plus 6 minutes extra time in the first half equals 90.😁

Priestman for me. Just Welsh, McGinn & Watt were great and Koutroumbis deserves a mention for that clearance plus his general all round play on the wrong side.

Typically about 43 or 44, over the last ten years or so it has been as low as 40 and as high as 50.

Elliot Watt, the goal capped an outstanding performance. Always available to receive the ball and defensively solid. Slattery was very good too, and was still sprinting at 90 minutes, a coincidence that these last two performances have come with his return? I think not.

Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

I went with Watt, he is integral to the style we are playing. Welsh, O'Donnell and Ward all worthy of mention.

With the possible exception of the following year when JPR Gordon gave Rangers a penalty when fat Derek tripped over his own feet about 20 yards from the box. If we had beaten Airdrie we would have got the green scum in the final, a dreadful Hearts team awaited us the next year, I suspect a cup win would have been more likely the second year. Plus that team really deserved to win something. But aye, I know what you mean.

I had John Goldthorpe and Jumbo Muir, plus, on at least one occasion, Keith MacRae. Good but not what was to come.

One of our all time greats (IMHO), those of us of a certain vintage got to witness something special when he and Pettigrew were terrorising defences. RIP Bobby.

You watched a different game from me. Our new style really suits S O'D.

I was trying to remember who the other goalie we had at that time was and I saw Scott Howie mentioned in the managers thread. Turns out Woods wasn't even the worst keeper we had at the club when he was playing for us, never mind an all time worst.

I didn't say he was good just not the worst we have had before or since. For me, and most of my age group, John Gardner wins that vote by a distance. His very name still causes me to break out in a cold sweat.

6 feet 2, and no matter what age you are he was far from the worst goalie we have had,
