Didnt get to watch the game but seen some clips. jBAโ€™s selection may or may not have been good enough, due to the red cards we wonโ€™t know the answer. We do know that he has been pretty much right, this season so far, in his selections.ย 
just have to deal with the defeat in whatever way you choose and then move on to next game.ย 
still 100% behind JBA and the players.ย

Youโ€™ve obviously not been listening to the managerโ€ฆ โ€˜load managementโ€™ is often mentioned. Given hectic schedule, I was comfortable with changes.

We get it, an opportunity missed. A lot of variables went against us tonight. โ€˜All on Jensโ€™ and questioning Matty Connollyโ€™s inclusion is quite the stretch. Maybe some should look at the bigger pictureโ€ฆ

ย 

I've listened to the manager talk about load management doesn't mean I need to agree with him. Had he rotated the team on Sunday I wouldn't have been bothered in fact if you look at other posts that was what I had expected him to do. 'Questioning Connolly's involvement' obviously he quite literally had killed the game plan within a minute and a half I'm not seeing a load management argument there.ย

Connelly didn't kill the game plan. He made a mistake that could've resulted in a goal (prior to the free kick). He didn't cause Priestman to slip and get a red card.

As ive said Gordon is more to blame than Connelly. He made a mistake on the ball that can happen, but then stupidly took out their player under the knowledge that Beaton was card happy and VAR itching to get involved. Given scottish officials decisions to make seldom goes well for players.

Manager was wrong to put Gordon in the middle of the three. He is the weakest on the ball.

I mean as far as I'm concerned his giveaway caused the red and then from that he doesn't save the resulting FK (I accept there's a deflection but there was literally only 1 side of the goal for Nisbet to aim for). He was Ok after that but the damage was done. Your not going to find anyone blaming Preistman as he was trying his best to get back and slipped it's unfortunate. Gordon also killed us just that 1 happened first and made it an uphill struggle.

He couldn't have played him anywhere else he's to slow to be the WCB in that shape. If Jens stays I wouldn't expect Gordon to be at the club next season.

Gordon was at fault for the foul he committed because heโ€™s shite at football, but he wasnโ€™t at fault for VAR and Beaton being utter bastards intent on ruining football.

Perhaps start taking Cup games more seriously? Perhaps the team on the park at the time not folding and losing to teams that they are well capable of beating in Cup ties?

Itโ€™s not on just any one particular manager. Iโ€™m talking about us as a club and as a team failing to reach the Quarters of the Scottish Cup four seasons in a row especially when you look at the sides we have been paired with and who have knocked us out in those campaigns. ย I donโ€™t think that that is anywhere near good enough or acceptable. If anyone disagrees thatโ€™s up to them but I have given my reasons why I and I stand by it.

Pretty sure old firm fans have a fair claim to say its unnaceptable they havent rolled over the top of us every game this season.

Its football pal, infact its sport. You win some you lose some. The match i watched lastnight, the team defo could not have been accused of not trying.

Given why you had decided the outcome weeks ago, its unclear why you are so upset about it......
