Without exaggeration it would have been double figures without him today.
Tbf he was also directly at fault for at least one

Typed his name into twitter and only good things came up from Rotherham fans. Obviously lack of football could be an issue but he hadn’t played in a year before making his debut against the championship winners and apparently done very well.
Got a good feeling about the boy.
And yes I did say the same about Dean Lyness but I think there is more logic behind my optimism this time round.

What actually happened to Rae? Missed the game but didn’t sound good

Nah that’s bollocks. There’s been a good mutual respect between him and the club/fans after he’s left, he was announced as being subbed and started to do the standard slowish walk you expect from a player 2-0 up before a quite audible boo came from the NW and I’m twice the distance as he’d have been from it, he’s quite entitled when walking off the winning player to hush that, I doubt he has any hard feelings
Yeah was going to say you could clearly hear the boo’s over the stream so can’t blame him at all

Then he made it crystal clear late on, when Frizzell threw a ball on the park to stop us being able to take a quick throw. Ref was about to blow, he put his hand in his pocket, then realised it was someone on a yellow, so he let play go on with 2 balls on the park. That’s a prime example of how out of his depth the referee was, but I don’t think his inept display impacted the result. We benefitted from his poor decisions at times too.
Yeah my heart dropped when frizzell done that at the end. The first one is debatable but we definitely got away with one second time round.

After the last couple seasons I never thought we’d beat them again.
Thank f**k

You don’t know how putting your studs into someone’s knee endangers them? You can’t be serious?!
I was more talking about the rule itself. In almost every case it is the force that causes injury, is that not obvious?

To be fair, the ‘serious foul play’ definition does mention excessive force. But it’s endangering the safety of an opponent OR uses excessive force. The height of the challenge and the fact he led with his studs into an opponent’s knee makes it a stonewall red card.
Ah ok, always thought it had to be a combination of both as I don’t really see how the opponent can be in danger if there isn’t excessive force. But, if that is the rules then I’ll accept we’ve got away with it

Remind me what then rules state about this?
No idea tbf, just always interpreted it that way but could be wrong

Nope watching it on my TV. Studs right on to the knee. If I saw that in any game I'm reffing it's a straight red these days. Dreadful tackle.
No denying the studs went to the knee but surely the force in which it happens is the deciding factor between yellow and red?

Can only assume those who think it’s a red are in the stadium as on the stream it looked fairly innocuous, was actually quite puzzled by the reactions afterwards. Was right in front of the camera too.

Straight leg, studs straight into the knee, red card all day long. Horrendous challenge.
Looked a very much bent leg trying to control the ball. No force whatsoever but was late, yellow the correct call

Frizzell should be off. That is a shocking challenge.
No chance, absolutely 0 force in that

Our hopes for this game completely rest on fordyce being available.
I’d be buzzing with a point tbh.

Mental heads gone stuff in the Facebook group. A shiter of a performance in many ways there’s no doubt about that but don’t know how everyone can be so reactionary.
We have one of the best home records in the league and only Dundee united have conceded less than us.
Just a blip, let’s chill out eh

We couldn’t beat them when they were shite so now they’re better we’ll win.
Think that’s how it works

I disagree. Do not change our shape as our turnaround in form came when we went to a back 4. Going back to 3 CBs and wingbacks will result in one thing only, a defeat. Murray did this in 2019, got a 5 nil thumping.
It's a simple swap, mcstravick out so lyall or donnell in. Nothing else needs changed. Maybe Gal in from the start and use McGregor's pace off the bench after the hour mark.
Yeah I remember being raging with Murray when he done that at tynecastle.
We are such a good defensive unit and carry a threat in attack. Considering the form we are in, changing from that would be madness.

Can I also add to the ridiculous complaints:
Fans saying it's disgraceful that they have to sit about 15 seats to the side of where they normally sit due to the middle section being for hospitality. What a hardship indeed...
Fans commenting about 'glory hunters' turning up for the big games.
And my favourite, complaining that there will be 'No parking' cones on the surrounding streets meaning they'll either have to walk a bit further or get the bus/train.
That's not to mention complaints about tickets prices, the venue for the Challenge Cup Final and numerous other bizarre things.
We've been hopeless for years playing in front of tiny crowds, now we have a decent side, fans returning, playing big sides in the cup and have reached a cup final and yet 5 mins of looking online and you'd think there is a sizable portion of fans who'd prefer to go back to the days of playing in front of 700 fans and losing to Albion Rovers just so they could sit in their own seat and not be inconvenienced by any of the things that come with being a reasonably succesful football club.
Not sure what you mean, this is a completely normal reaction to having to sit 10 yards away from your normal seat.

Anyone going to go to the 1924 centenary dinner? My dad and I probably will. But £100 a ticket and not in Airdrie, on a working Sunday night? Not ideal, better be bloody good!
Yeah think I will. Obviously grudge paying that much money for anything but these things don’t exactly come around very often for us.

Arbroath - terrible as we’ve been pumped every time I’ve been. Tutties Neuk and the pies save it though.
Ayr - only been once but I liked the ground even though we got beat.
Dundee United - Also only been once but a great place to watch football. However, that hill coming up from the train station is a human rights violation.
Dunfermline - Pish as we never win and the Bridies are overrated.
Inverness - been once, we were terrible then we got back to the bus after the game and it wouldn’t start. The team bus ended up leaving before us. Not good
Morton - Been once, we won and a great day overall. Even though we did get drenched behind the goal.
Partick - Always good until the game, I’ve still never seen us win there.
Raith - only been once when we were both in league 1. We should’ve won but Greg Aitken put in easily the worst refereeing performance of all time, sending off 3 players and 2 managers as well as somehow missing Benedictus make a double handed save on the line. Refuse to go back.
Queens park - love a trip to the southside, a last minute winner as well this season. Superb.
Rankings:
1. Queens Park
2. Dundee united
3. Partick
4. Morton
5. Arbroath
6. Ayr
7. Inverness
8. Raith
9. Dunfermline

It's quite a poor division for away days tbh, might just be because I've done them all but there's little intrigue to them.
I’m the complete opposite tbh, as you say tho it may be due to the fact we’ve not been in this division for a decade and maybe the novelty will wear off but I do think it’s a great league for away days.
Its made even better by the fact that ours is the only shite away day which I don’t have to deal with.

Papers say we’re signing Aaron lyall. Did he play enough for you to make an impression?

Finally a bit of business happening, Scott Burns reporting we are signing Aaron Lyall on loan from Rangers attacking midfielder i'm sure. Burns never usually wrong with his sources.
Looks like he’s already registered

No issue with the time wasting tbh. Think we’re forgetting the time Rae takes to take a goal kick when we’re winning. However, little and McKenna should’ve been off for me.
