McGill/Vaughan must be about the 73rd 10/9 combination we've fielded this season.
Will it be more successful than the others? It's not for me to say, but... no.

Your misuse of commas upsets me.

If we win this, and Thistle somehow lose to Cove Rangers, we might get a slightly exciting run in. As things stand at the moment, though, it feels like our season ended on Sunday.

Where were the stewards when these smoke bombs were being let off, and seats being damaged
How about I give you minimum wage and ask you to go wading into a group of coked up young guys who are throwing fireworks about?
Edit: The tone of this is more confrontational (ironically) than I ended. My point is that stewards are essentially just living scarecrows in a situation like this. They're punters in high vis jackets with the hope that that puts off any potential bother. Once bother starts, though, you've just got a teenager with little training and less power. They're doing f**k all, and I'm with them wholeheartedly.

I think if we had a second Isma to sub on for the first one after an hour, we'd have won that game.

The first half was terrible, but the second half was really just a return to what we saw time and again in the first half of the season. Four (or five, or six) attacking midfielders milling around the edge of the box, crying out for a big number 9 to just stick the ball in the net.
Isma might well have managed it, but he looked knackered after a first half of running around under high balls whilst nobody else got near him.
It's very frustrating, and it's largely due to the profile of the players we've got available rather than individual failings from those players, but it absolutely has to be addressed in the summer.

Hard to be too bothered by that, to be honest. Play that second half 100 times and we score by hook or by crook in about 95 of them. You've just got to congratulate Accies.
There are things we could've done differently, of course. I'd have had Ngwenya on for Dick the second the red card came out, for one, but ultimately that wasn't an embarrassment or anything. The Rovers created enough chances to win two games but bad luck and astonishing goalkeeping kept them out. These things happen. You take it on the chin and you move on.
Enjoy it, Accies.

This is one of the all time great backs-to-the-wall performances.

Can't believe he didn't want it so much that he got sent off.

Not long tuned in. Why is it only half time now? What was the delay?
Also the BBC Alba feed has gone down now.
Four separate Accies injuries, two which required subs meant six minutes of injury time. And the game kicked off at 4.15pm, not 4pm as advertised some places.

As bad as we've been, you can see in this stoppage time where our route back into the game is. Accies can be stretched and we can get men forward and into the box.
Need much more quality in the middle, though. Spencer has been so far off it, Vaughan, Easton and Stanton aren't doing enough to get close enough to Goncalves to actually form an attacking unit.
I'd change Vaughan for Connolly at half time. If Vaughan is going to spend his time floating about on the wing, we might as well get someone who's better at doing that on.
It's a long way from over. Hamilton have basically had one chance and took their goal from it. As much as we've still been giving them plenty encouragement, it's not like we're being pinned back. If we can avoid throwing another one away early doors, we should be able to dial up the pressure somewhat as the half goes on.

Neither Vaughan or Stanton is getting anywhere near close enough to Isma. Last week worked so well because he was working off, and giving back, short passes. We're back to asking him to work wonders 30 yards out by himself again.

We're just so far off things it's painful to watch at times. Just keep giving the ball away.
We'd gotten slightly better in possession in the last five minutes, but we've still been defending like a bunch of guys who've never met before. I don't think you could say "the goal's been coming" because I think that's the first real shot at goal, but we'd certainly given Accies a lot of encouragement.
There's only one side here that looks like it's had to rejig twice already.

We've not settled well at all yet. Neither Brown or Spencer has managed two consecutive touches.

I presume Accies were selling Main Stand tickets first? Can't be more than 80 behind the goal right now.
Aye. Don't want to get all Old Firm about it but it does seem daft that some fans have been locked out of this when there are entire sections free.

Can't be many games this season where we've had two (arguably three, although it's not an argument I'd make) legitimate attacking options on the bench.

That penalty I have absolutely no idea what the referee even thinks he's seen. It would've taken some touch from Easton to shift the ball away from himself at a right angle as the tackle comes in. Ridiculous. If that was at a pivotal moment in a big game, you'd lose your mind.

Gourlay's made a fantastic save there, if it's any consolation!

Pretty much, aye. I can only think of one Gourlay making one stop, with his feet. Other than that, they've all gone in.
Apart from the first goal, this hasn't been a car crash performance from Cove Rangers, at all. Instead, they look like a collection of reasonably technically sound players, just absolutely nowhere near Championship level.

That's never, ever a penalty. An absolutely brilliant tackle.

This is a game that Murray hasn't really had before, where everything you touch goes in and you get to actually enjoy some football for a while. We've had to work so hard for every goal we've scored before today, but this has been a completely different story.

We need to get the opposition to give Isma a free run at goal five minutes into every game. He's like a changed man. Not only tidy in possession and holding the ball up well, he's also hitting the byline covering back.

Stanton and Easton are both coming off the flanks and just going wherever the space is. Cove are struggling to cope with the movement at times, but it's also leaving a huge amount of space in front of McGill.
But, I agree, a second goal kills this is a contest.
Oh, we've scored a second Oh well, let's see if I live to regret that!

That's a penalty.
