Who would you say? I think the big guy has done fairly well this season all things considered. Quite unfortunate at the penalty incident, Hearts got away with the same thing weeks ago. Anyway frustrating day all round, to concede three goals to ten men is shocking.

Wankland scores

Looked like the one Celtic didn't;t get against them

Pen to Hearts

Lovely pick out to find Spittal

GOALLLLLLLL

Taking their time i n the VAR room

Some finish by VV but ruled offside i think

Goal Moult

Penalty for us

Moult on for Shields

Honestly it's like us that are down to ten men.

2-0 shocking

The second half is going to be torture with time wasting worse that the Fir Park game no doubt. Anyway thought we started well enough before Hearts went on top and missed some sitters before we grew back into it . A few great chances for Van Veen but Slattery should have done much better with his effort. I don't know what the issue is with us playing against 10 men. Frustratingly, I know we still have to defend it but Halliday had headed it out before they got a second corner and scored. Thankfully 45 minutes to rescue it but you can help but feel it'll be another case of missed chances.

Hearts score. Looked a well goal kick

Red card for Grant of Hearts

A few decent chances missed in quick succession.

Ludicrous passback by O'Donnell. Lucky escape

Kevin ' Everythings a Foul' Clancy apart from actual real fouls.

McGinn looks to be going off with a knee injury. Snodgrass diving across twice to stop him clearing the ball. O'Donnell on.

Absolute sitter missed by Wankland. Worse than Shields last week.

I can't believe how tight the league is this year, it would be nice to get the three points today as it would see us slot into 5th place albeit 4 teams would be on 19 points should that scenario play out. TBH I'm more wanting to get a nice cushion between us, Killie, County and United going into the WC break. Once we get the Celtic game out of the way in midweek we don't need to play them again until the very last game before the split.

I would honestly love nothing more than to be eating humble pie but I just don't feel he offers enough at this level. I watched him against Queen's Park in the first reserve game of the season and he was virtually anonymous, he managed to get one on one with the keeper from an angle at one point but his effort was virtually a pass back, he had done something similar against Kilmarnock earlier in the season when in a glorious position but fluffed his lines and the less said about his miss against United last weekend the better. If he was an out and out striker then he wouldn't be missing those so frequently. Hopefully I'm apologising later on.

I hate being over critical of our own players but after seeing him play against Queen's Park in a reserve fixture over a month ago that was a performance that convinced me he just doesn't have it and we have another year and a half to enjoy. That miss against Dundee United was something else. Three points would be massive here, Dundee United are away to Celtic so you would suspect they will get pumped again, I like the idea of getting some daylight between us and the bottom and a few positive results will be most welcome before the World Cup kicks off. Hearts are in action today, apparently they are having some injury concerns at the moment so hopefully come Sunday it's a struggle for them. We played really well at Fir Park but just couldn't get the ball into the back of the net, I wouldn't be surprised to see a repeat performance of last weekend.

I remember it being mentioned that Anier and Ojamaa had the same agent back in their Motherwell days, he must have made a mint between those two as since leaving us not including Legia Warsaw as he came back on loan but Henrik has played for 9 other clubs and for Henri it's just the ten clubs.
