  1. Shaw should certainly have finished his chance and given VAR something to check but he looked well offside to me at the time and again from any replay I've seen. 

    No one mentions Moses' terrible first touch though, if he'd taken it in his stride and not had to check back it would have been an even easier change with everyone still onside. 

    Would have been a travesty for us to finish top 6 this season so can't complain at the outcome.

    Can't wait to see the handball for the penalty back.

    It's utterly ridiculous that handballs like that are given as a pen but that's how the refs up here have been applying the rule, and to be fair they have been pretty consistent.

    Even more of sore one to take as up to that point we were never scoring. Some collapse mind you. 

  3. I know we're an absolute gang at the defending like, but by God do we ever get punished for our mistakes. 

    I seem to remember us conceding that exact same goal about half  a dozen times already this season. Someone fucks up, we get back and get a block in and it falls straight at the oppositions feet and it's duly dispatched. 

    It's a recurring nightmare. 

  4. The legs completely fell off our midfield after the 60 minute mark which ended up with Devine and Gent being run ragged down he flanks.

    Spittal in particular was done. He just abut managed to point to the player he was letting run off him then completely gave up altogether. Because we have none we can trust to come in to the midfield and shore things up we end up messing about with the deference which turns into an unorganized shambles. 

    It's like watching a car crash in slow motion and knowing you can do he haw about it.

    Liam Kelly is like having a child in goals. Or he has concrete in his boots or something.

    Couldn't even muster a dive at Shankland's header. Watched Duk's header at Pitoddrie.

    The guy's due criticism for his from in general yes, but this sort of thing is just nonsense. Should he have come out and punched it too? What about stopping the cross? 

    Both of those headers he's got no chance. 

  6. Derek Adams is a fanny. 

    unfortunately, he's also correct. 

    I don't think he actually meant Morecombe are literally 100 x better, he's simply emphasising how drastically bad the standard is up here right now and he's right.

    Graham Alexander said much the same about the quality of our squad and how he was limited to playing a certain style of football because of it, albeit much more diplomatically.  

  7. As much as Kelly looks massively low on confidence I'm finding it hard to see what he can do about either of those goals. 

    Casey gets out jumped far too easily and O'Donnell misses his header at the near post and not one of our players reacts to the 2nd ball. 

    The guys in front of him need to do far better  - there's no way he's able to collect either of those crosses. Pie in the sky stuff to suggest otherwise - same with the Celtic winner a few weeks back.

    🙄 @ Youtube/Google and the great idea of warning and then banning viewers who continue to use adblockers at three strikes. .......Gee, that will bring in more viewers and more cash.

    Choices are put up with the poor quality ads, some of which are unsuitable for children, pay YouTube for a subscription that only half works on stopping ads or go elsewhere to watch content.

    The excuse is that preventing adblockers allows YouTube to stay free for billions of people around the world. Youtube made $29.2 billion revenue in 2022, 1.3% up from 2021. Their execs are on 6 figure annual salaries not including bonusses. The financial struggles they have to keep this platform going......

    Currently I'm getting average of around 6 ads in 20 minutes 2 of which are unskipable. I don't remember a time without an adblocker that there has been an absolute saturation of ads on Youtube videos, Youtube/Google have definately raised the number of ads to annoy people into buying their Premium ad free service. I've not seen anything dodgy so far just poor quality games for phones, but some people have complained about ads that would not be suitable for children. Not sure if these ads harm a computor or phone.

    Always thought the best of the Youtube years was between 2008-2018, especially for game playthroughs.

    Not a rant, just a wee bit of frustration at the way the world is going.

    Install Brave browser without any adblock extensions and just the Shields (which is their in built adblocker) turned on and it will still block any adds on Youtube. You can import bookmarks and passwords directly from Chrome if that's what you're using just now.

    I find Youtube totally unwatchable without some form of ad blocking. It's far far too intrusive. These companies will never learn. Most people would tolerate some form of advertising if it wasn't so overwhelming.
