Tea and Busquets

What a team, the spirit is unbelievable. Referee was incredibly poor throughout but after going 2-0 down there was only one team in it for me in terms of aggression, quality and desire. Their second goal was a complete dive and the referee bought it. What a goal from Alfie though. Love the big man.

Fully deserved and even with 11 men they tried to sit in and just wait for our mistakes. Should have been by more though, Mackie and Donaldson both really unlucky.

Think we need more from Tait and Spencer. Was all us before the red card and I don’t see it changing now. They are well organised but we have it in us to win. Can’t believe Stanway dived having already been booked.

No Brian Graham for thistle.

Really hope Ethan Ross keeps his place today. If scoring and playing well against arguably the third best team in Scotland gets you dropped then there is nothing more he can do.

Yeah him

Bavidge looking like he’s off to ICT.

I think our 11 is strong at the minute but as soon as we’re half way through the season and the amount of games takes it’s toll through injuries etc you will see our lack of depth catch up I fear, if we don’t strengthen further.

I don’t think it was necessarily the push on its own for me from Vargas, it was the fact he jumped up like someone possessed and charged at Spencer like a madman. The referee was absolutely horrendous. Totally inconsistent with his bookings and awarding of fouls.

Surely we’ll get at least one player in and a renewal for Miller now?

Sides to avoid: Dundee Aberdeen Kilmarnock (if they progress. If not Spartans, you probably want Dundee United at home (second best chance of progression other than Motherwell at home). For pure economic aspects you want Celtic away.

Unbelievable. Starting to prefer this team to Houston’s heroes of 2016. They can play, they can be hard to beat, they can do it all. After weathering the early storm we grew into it showing just how good we can be. Nicky Hogarth was superb as was everyone else in fairness and had it not been for Gordon it could have been another 4-0. To not be tested at all all second half against that level of quality is testament to them all. Special mention to Adams, he’s been an unbelievable find and him and Tait will earn us good money. I would leave Morrison on the bench. How could you drop anyone after today? It’s a travesty that McGlynn doesn’t have the money Partick, Ayr and Raith seem to have because I think he’d have us walk this league on current ability.

He absolutely rag dolled Penedictus on Saturday.

This is a Ross MacIver appreciation post

Are we all just sitting anywhere tomorrow?
