So to my points, header spotted easily, VAR used to give offside. Other occasion, very tight, even with lines, on field decision should stand (can’t recall if they awarded goal or flagged it) and no VAR intervention. Last week goal was given by ref & lino, that is to say tackle was not deemed to be a foul. Their boy just bounced up to be fair didn't roll about dying swan routine. Just's header there given by ref & lino, VAR said hang on I'm not having that on my watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong I like JBA and like what he’s trying to do with the playing style, but he needs to show more awareness with his use of substitutes and game management particularly when we’re ahead in games. I fully accept that we are never going to have the ‘perfect manager’ but just little things like that and as you say tweaking lineups and tactics here and there could make all the difference. If we play like we did yesterday we will lose again, or at the very least we won’t win. We also won’t beat Dundee Utd with that approach and St.Mirren will nullify us, boot us about the park and knock us out the cup again. This is a potentially season defining run of games we are now entering I think. This isn't me picking on you MFC but just really for the forum. Check the date we played this fixture last season where defeat would have taken us to bottom of table. Season didnt turn out too bad. At this moment I doubt we will finish 4th but absolutely no reason we cant turn it round after 2 bad defeats. Players still settling in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 That was an important game for sure and a turning point. Celtic will prove to be a far sterner test and I won't judge AJ and his team too harshly if we don't win. I am looking for a good performance from us though and one which demonstrates progress over what we've seen so far. Probably the Kilmarnock game will be a better yardstick. The following Hearts game will also be a good indicator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to be reasonable or rational about it. Then toddle off home and do what the wife tells you to do for a week until next Saturday when you can start shouting all over again. Aye some football supporters are crackers, maybe even most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned to keep schtum after shouting at Spittal to move away from a free kick after he had put in about 4 poor corners. He curled it into top corner, I have never looked so sheepish then apologised to everyone around me 🤣🤣🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a fair point but as I said in that post you quoted from last October, I liked what I saw from Askou and could see what he was trying to do even if it hadn’t clicked for him yet at that point. He had a plan and he was a leader, that was clear, the only thing we hadn’t seen by then was it actually yielding results, but they of course came. Unfortunately I don’t see any of that with Alfred Johansson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely been encouraging signs but we badly need SOD and Mcginn in team and priestman back. I think Fadinger was our oldest player on Saturday....26 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's harmless depending on what the individual's definition of "shout what you want for 90 minutes" is, isn't it? I certainly don't think that buying a ticket is a licence to act like an absolute bellend and hurl abuse at someone that would get you arrested if you did it outside a football stadium. Show displeasure at the result, the performance, for sure. But far too many take it too far. Maybe that's a reflection on their own situation, but still, footballers don't sign up for that.

I should have added the usual caveat of not abusing anyone or cursing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that aside though things just feel flat and not quite right. But it’s still early days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think we will be 4th but hopefully of top 6. Think this will be season of transition. Look at Falkirk, they were flying ast season but lost their main players.
