What a fuckin snowflake. Why not take it how it was meant, as poking a little fun. If it bothers you that much ask me and I’ll stop.

So OK for the camp comic to comment in a similar fashion and no rebuke for him. Nice one 

Why is it always the people who accuse others of being a snowflake that take offence the quickest?

I know I'm late to the party, but I'll try to offer some different comments on last night's win. 

I agree with many comments that we were a great watch, and notched up a fine win, so won't repeat them. Its great to see so many of the new lads score their first goals for the club. That will help them settle. For me, Hodge and especially Lowrie were the pick of the bunch. We're also scoring some really nice goals.  Compared to Jensball, I think AJ is encouraging the players to shoot more and its exciting to see the ball hit the net with these efforts. 

It was a forgone conclusion that United would appeal the Agyei red card. However, Lee Sharp's comment post match were revealing - basically he never saw it (despite sitting/standing only a few metres away).  Usually in these circumstances, a manager says something like "The lads said it wasn't a bad tackle" or words to that effect. To compound matters, Agyei then booted the ball at the POD in anger. No doubt he'll be hauled over the coals for that  - remember Terry Butcher being sanctioned for kicking a water bottle at Livingston? 

As for us another clean sheet! However I was a bit concerned again at another team, United this time, exposing us down the wings. Fortunately, they weren't capable of causing any damage. Better teams might. I don't know whether this is down to individual's positioning or AJ's instructions.  Also we seem to be concentrating our efforts on playing down the right. All too often Manny Longelo was all on his own on the left, but being ignored. It was clearly frustrating him. Presumably that's down to instructions - I hope its the Darren Jackson syndrome.  Anyway in the great scheme of things not huge issues. 

Anyway, a thoroughly enjoyable night in front of another healthy crowd. We really do seem to have built a deep and quality squad now.

Longello was not receiving many passes second half because he was knackered and didn't want them. Saw plenty of the ball in the first half tho.
