eez-eh

Fucking hell.

We seem spineless. No leadership. A defeat at Tynecastle isn’t season defining, but the manner of the capitulation and most of our performances this season don’t paint a good picture.

Are we allowed to be negative again?

Not watching but the commentary says t was a free kick that squirmed under Sinisalo.

This for me but Miller in for Chalmers. Unfortunately I think it’s almost guaranteed that the centre-halves will be unchanged and Muirhead will be at full back again. I think we’ll get absolutely horsed.

McKenna had played 47 games for Aberdeen by the time he turned 22.

Also complete pish because from the freeze frame you can see it looks like it’s after ball has left foot. It’s incredible that no one involved in VAR has considered the margin for error in having a human being trying to guess the precise moment the ball is played.

I said this last week and got told I was being far too harsh, but it’s true. No matter what combination of the 3 of them we play they just don’t seem to offer anything as a unit. No protection to the defence and no creativity. We know they’re capable of being decent players but we’re getting nothing out of them. I don’t know the answer to that but it’s up to Kerr to find out.

What’s the script with Shankland lads? Is he hampered by Mellons tactics or is he just not adapting to the step up? Is he still carrying the injury from earlier in the season?

One player doesn’t excuse a complete capitulation.

I thought our defence was pure solid tho?

That sounds like madness tbh. I think most of us would have hedged our bets on fans not being back - at least not anything like normal - by now. Even if there was a limited number allowed back by now it wouldn’t have seen a big jump revenue. It would be season ticket holders only and then you’d have extra stewarding costs on top of that.

Jurgen “we lost because we didn’t have 5 subs” Klopp using 0 subs tonight. Bold.

I feel like the effect of Christmas on cases is getting overstated a bit. Not so much that it won’t have an effect on transmission, but surely a lot of that will be “cancelled out” by the schools being off for 1.5-2 weeks? They won’t change the rules anyway I don’t think, not at this stage, but they’ll probably try to cause as much confusion as possible as a way of deflecting blame from themselves - as they have done for several months. c***s.

Right to overturn but don’t know why the Wolves boy wasn’t booked. Clear dive.

Shite reaction but I’d probably be raging if someone two footed me like that.

I think you’re getting Wolfsberger confused with Wolfsburg. Wolfsberger are sitting mid-table in the Austrian league.

Probably because it looked like a penalty.

I’m all for being positive but there’s an incredible level of arrogance among many every time we’re drawn into a qualifying group. We love to bash England fans for it but some of our lot are just as bad. I remember after Euro 2016 everyone proclaiming how shite Ireland were and that we were much a better team (I was one of them admittedly). Everyone thought we would body Wales home and away when 2014 was drawn. After the 2020 draw many were saying we had an outside chance of challenging Russian for second. We never got close to them. It’s a very favourable draw and we absolutely should be competing with Denmark (and Austria), but there’s no point in setting unrealistic demands either. History suggests we’ll be in with a shout but have a shiter of a result away from home against one of the lower seeds. Just like Israel last month. Some people just never learn. We made a lot of progress in the last 6 games with some good performances, but in a group stage format it would have equated to 8 points from 6 games. Alright but hardly top of the table consistency.

They stopped that a short while ago, away fans can get right up to the fence again. You can bam up the opposition till your heart’s content now.

I must have higher standards than most on here - I thought that was utter pish. Our front line has plenty of ability and so is liable to create chances but the midfield was really disappointing. Murdoch probably needs more time after a year out, but I don’t think that middle 3 are complimenting each other much at all.

Some laugh that these teams are in 3rd and 4th. The basic errors are incredible.

I never thought I’d see words to this effect from a Dundee fan.

Presumably he’s out next weekend as well. 48 minutes of football played 13 games in by then. Fucking hell.

Bit of a pisser losing probably our largest streaming numbers of the season, but at least it will save us all the “boycott” pish from Rangers Mk II.
