  1. Dykes and Robinson were superb.

    We didn't get what we deserved out of the games with The Rangers, so delighted to have things go our way today.

    I think we definitely have a top six team this season.  Today's team still wasn't our strongest so more to come hopefully.  Can't wait for the Hearts game now.

    I'd take a draw here, then humping them out of the cup in another 10 days time at the Spaghettihad. Just hope we've enough players recovered from grass pitch injuries to fill our subs bench.

    The Rangers seemed to struggle at home in their new firm derby, so maybe we can get a clean sheet there.  For me Robinson is the player we miss most.

    Tactically naive from Holt again, there was absolutely no need to sit back and be “street wise” trying to defend the lead, the way he set us up cost us the points. Why were we sitting back in the second when we absolutely dominated the game by pressing high in the first half? I don’t think st Johnstone had a proper shot before we gifted them the goal, they were f**king dreadful until then. Then all of a sudden it’s 2-2 and we start pressing and attacking again?? As soon as we attacked we got a pen and nearly scored from a corner, negative tactics cost us 2 points. 

    You are dead right.  Holt is too quick to try and park the bus, saw it lots of times last season.  Looks like we are in for a lot of frustrating draws again this season.

    I had a bit of sympathy for Collum to begin with; from the angle he saw it , it did look a bad one.

    Which partially explained his over zealous attempt ito get his red card out before contact had even been made.  

    But how anyone, let alone a panel of supposed experts can find any malice in that tackle after seeing the other angles is beyond belief.

    I honestly expected Collum to put his hands up and admit his understandable mistake, but instead we lose one of our top players for two more games due to arrogance or cowardice.

    As someone already said, it's little wonder that appeals rarely come from teams other than The Rangers and Celtic.

    What has malice got to do with it?  You clearly don't know the rules of the game.  It was a potential leg breaker, straight footed lunge, over the ball, studs showing.  The Hearts lad was lucky his foot wasn't planted otherwise it could have been a career ender.

  5. As predicted by many yesterday, Barry Ferguson is in the Daily Ranger referring to Lafferty to The Rangers as a "no brainer".  I am not a fan of Hearts or Lafferty, but the way that a national newspaper is used as a cheerleader for The Rangers is disgraceful.

    As an aside, when Hearts came to play us in a friendly at the beginning of last season, Lafferty's signing seemed to add some power to the elbows of the sectarian bigots within the Hearts support, maybe The Rangers is the best place for him as he seems to be that way inclined anyway.
