From the replays, ferrie was in the goal for the header but the ball definitely didn’t cross the line

In fairness, even Bullen had no complaints about the penalty decision in his post match interview. Clear penalty and silly defending

Huge result psychologically. We’ve struggled massively against Ayr so a big performance was needed. The defending for that 2nd goal was utterly atrocious in every sense and how Davidson was allowed to get by Mcginty with so much ease is beyond me. Daft penalty to give away aswell and it was nicely taken by Thomas. Think shields will do a job for us. Big, quick and and a general pest up top. Really liked the look of him. Lee Kilday is also the best defender in the world. The improvement this season has been unbelievable.

Aye I’m genuinely curious to know roughly what type of contract county have offered here. No doubts he’d of been our highest earner but I heard that county had offered him a 3 year deal? Can’t begrudge him taking that deal at 31 if that’s the case. Bit of a risk for county giving that type of contract you think? Wouldn’t say he’s exactly premiership proven but I’d imagine he’ll do a job, he’s in the form of his life so good luck to him Can’t say I could bare to see him in the relegation play offs playing against us

Share the same feelings regarding the bond this group of players have with the fans. Obviously winning games has helped in that aspect but there genuinely seems to be some great characters in this squad. I’ve noticed throughout several games this season that the players all usher the guys over to the fans when we score, particularly away from home. Even from the Inverness highlights, you see savoury getting Williamson over to the fans when he scores. You can tell how much Coyle values the supporters and he’s engrained that into the squad Must of been pretty awful for the players coming back from Inverness after the game. Would imagine word got around pretty rapidly regarding the ineligible Henderson.

I think it becomes incredibly to difficult to keep someone on side once he’s made his mind to leave. We’ve got a fee at least but can’t imagine it’s anything obscene considering he only had 6 months left on his deal Minus the utter shambles that occurred with the cup last night, winning games without Murray against a solid enough team at this level is reassuring and I’ve no doubts we’ll give Ayr a much better account of ourselves than we have previously. He’s a massive loss but new boy Connor shields has been capable at championship level before and he will get plenty of chances from our midfield and wingers. A win for either side would be huge psychologically going into the run in

Still more than good enough to comfortably make playoffs but can’t see us winning the league now. Even with Murray, I doubt we’d of won the league anyway but I’d of gave us more of a fighting chance. We’re not going to suddenly become less threatening overnight I don’t feel. Guys like Thomas, savoury, Thomson and Boateng are the ones who create incredible amounts for the striker. It’s just a case of hoping Shields or Henderson can also take some of those chances. I’m not expecting mad numbers from those 2 like Murray has this season but as long they are somewhat competent, they’ll grab some goals for us. We took care of Inverness last night relatively comfortably by all accounts(despite most likely getting booted out the cup). Goalscorers are like gold dust at this level so we’ll need to see if this bites us in the backside

The only way I can think that we may get away with it was that Henderson had been taking part in the training throughout the week prior to him being announced on the social media accounts going by the photos. Maybe he was registered in time but can’t say I’m confident at all. Some day

This club never fail to amaze me

That doesn’t look great at all. Hope the club weren’t stupid enough to not check the eligibility rules

Every reason to make it about a child I’d feel ? You’re not gonna become millionaires playing at this level so why not try and make as much money as you can for your family. Coyle seemed incredibly understanding of his situation on the radio. Let’s be honest, if he’s getting an offer that can’t allow us to compete with, it’s going to be a hell of a wage Going forward, it’s a hell of an opportunity for either Henderson or shields to make themselves a hero. Here’s hoping they do the business

Quite possibly but I’m sure there’s many loopholes on how clubs and players can get out of pre contract deals if needs must. It’s not worth the risk to Murray and id imagine that could quite easily be a consideration as to why he may of wanted to leave now ?

Knowing his injury history, say he done his knee again playing for us, would he want to risk potentially losing out on a deal at county where he’s getting substantially more money? I don’t blame him for leaving in all honesty despite how gutting it is for us fans

Just listened to Coyle on bbc radio Scotland. Says Murray got an outstanding offer from county and we couldn’t compete with it at all, especially as he has a baby on the way

I see on Twitter fans going down route of calling him a snake etc. It’s pretty evident he’s left for financial reasons but let’s not forget that’s the main reason he pitched up to us in league 2, let’s not kid ourselves. You’ve got to look out for yourself, that’s the hard reality at this level. Majority of us wanted him binned before the play offs Yes, we helped through his rehab and yes we stood by him even when he was playing very poorly in league 1 but he’s gave many of the support the best moments ever supporting the club and that shouldn’t be forgotten about. He single handedly dragged us through the play offs and has been nothing short of phenomenal in the championship for us. The immediate feeling of his departure is obviously absolutely gutted. It’s ultimately going to have an impact on our season and I do think it’ll rule us out of title race over the next couple months. I’ll wish him all the best, he’s resurrected his career pretty tremendously and he’s been a great fit for us and Qp have been a great fit for him. Easily been one of my favourite players to have played for the club. *furiously begging for county relegation now

Murray offski it seems. Absolutely gutted

Didn’t expect to see two strikers come in this month but I’m not complaining. To have those 3 strikers as options going into the run in is very very good going. Well done Coyle if everything goes through with the signings

Think he’ll do a job ? We need a right back with a bit more about them defensively. Currently we have Jake Davidson who is very handy going forward but against the better teams, he generally struggles with the defensive side of the game Seem to recall oakley being quite liked by the Arbroath fans despite how poor they’ve been

McPake leaving seems the most likely option. Going by Twitter, Rangers are very eager to sell him permanently and equally, he is constantly being linked with numerous teams down south. Shields reportedly wants to join a team that would actually play him up top instead of wide so I’m assuming Euan Henderson would play out wide in the scenario that McPake does depart tomorrow

Was thinking the same thing regarding Williamson. Would love to see how he would get on at a team in league 1 or top end league 2 for a few months. I really like him as a footballer and he’s generally handled the huge step up a lot better than I anticipated. He just needs a run of games at a decent level in him

I’ve noticed he doesn’t seem to be most popular player from what I’ve read online. Been to a couple of Motherwell games this season and seemed to play out wide and looked fairly out his depth. Any chance he’ll do a job in the championship?

Daily record reporting now that we seem to have won the race to sign Connor shields on loan. Genuinely don’t have a clue where he fits considering we have Euan Henderson and Murray up top but will be nice to have options going into some crucial games

You’d hope so. Seen rumours of Ross county in for him today so hopefully a lot rubbish

Have heard shields is coming to us weirdly enough today. Hope to god that doesn’t mean Murray leaves tomorrow
