When does Oliver serve his suspension? Is it not until next season or does it carry over into the league?

The Scottish League Cup is a specified competition, which means the one match suspension (assuming it’s denying a goal scoring opportunity) is to be served in the next SLC match he can play in.

3-0 certainly flattered Dundee, thought we competed well over the 90 minutes and just lacked a cutting edge in the final third. Repeated poor decision making and sloppy passing didnt help, along with terrible defending for all 3 goals. Imagine bringing everyone back for corners and conceding twice from them ffs.

Would have been interesting if we had gone ahead with the deflected cross that hit the post or Morrison's chance that he fluffed as Dundee huffed and puffed a bit like us with an isolated striker. Their number 25 is some player and they are a cut above anything we'll face in league 1 this season. Important to dust ourselves down and keep the winning run going in the league

He scored against us for Montrose at TFS last season.

We were quite poor tonight although that was down to Dundee just being a much better, and more complete team than us. We won’t play anyone remotely like them this season. It was another free hit and unfortunately we missed, but there is no real damage done. Felt bad for big Liam Henderson tonight - he should never have been shoehorned in as some McGinn replacement.
 

 

It says that Hetherington wasn't trusted before him which is a good thing and hopefully gets the message to him to piss off to pastures new.

3-0 flattered them a bit, but it was clear to see over the 90 minutes that they are a solid enough middling Championship side, and we are still very much a L1 side albeit much better than last season. The gap between us and them has closed, but tonight showed that we are still some way off it.

Cheeky p***k 😂 You do realising you're doing your team as much of a disservice with that claim as ours? The game looked very much what it was; title-contenders but one a tier up from the other. Falkirk definitely weren't rubbish, play with that effort most weeks against League One teams and you'll be rosy.

On the subject of Dundee. Watched the televised game on Friday night and would say we have more than a chance. 

We play very similarly to Ayr (Alegria performing the Akinyemi role) and perhaps have a wee bit more threat in attack than they do so I would be confident facing them but they are at home so have the advantage.

It's winnable.

Even when you slow it down it’s hard to say for definite that it hits Oliver’s hand but my overall feeling is that it does, which was also my feeling at the time as well from behind the goal. He raised his arms down from his side to be up in front of him which really doesn’t help his cause. On a side note, listening to Lewis Connolly at 0.25 speed is some laugh 😂

You might be right but I think it was pretty wishful hoping Henderson would slot into a role like that. Hetherington is what he is, but at least he actually plays the role. McGlynn got that one wrong IMO but don’t know if it would have changed much. Either way,  neither are Stephen McGinn.

The club own the pitch but not the land it sits on.

The club own seats but not the grandstand they sit on.

The council charges the club running costs which knowing the council will be well loaded.

Goodness knows what % of administration costs gas, electricity and other service charges are.

That is money going out the club. It would be better used as being added to the mortgage payment.

Find out the value of the stadium, car park and surrounding land. Arrange funding to buy it and develop the facility not only paying the off the loan but adding to team funds. 

The Council is always girning about funds so a one off casher there's good bet they bite our hand off.

The last I saw it was in the council’s books at £12m. They have to get best value for anything they sell. If they were going to bite our hand off they would have done long ago.

A long jaunt to come away a bit disappointed TBH.

They rarely carved us up but we did very little going forward. Poor goals to give away though. 

Despite that I Thought all our best players were in the back 4. Middle to front were disappointing. 

Clearly we have lots of work to do still but we won’t face that quality again this season and I thought we matched them for 80 minutes. 

On to Kelty where McGinn’s return will make a huge difference hopefully.

Thought we were unlucky not to get a goal in the first half which we probably edged. Our passing looked good and our forward play was decent. Alegria was doing a great job holding the ball up and bringing others into play. Thought at half time that if we kept Lyall Cameron quiet we'd do well in the rest of the game. 
 

Second half was a bit like the 15 minutes against queens. Couldn't seem to get the ball out our feet and our passing was really sloppy at times. The first goal comes from us Fucking about at the back creating our own pressure and Cameron latching onto the ball we gave away from a Hogarth kick. Unlike the queens game we never seemed to kick on after the goal and once the second went in it was game over.


Tell you what though, it's still really refreshing to see a manager with a set game plan and structure that everyone in the team is sticking to. Onto Kelty hearts on Saturday and hopefully we can make it 4 league wins in a row, with McGinn in for Mackie.

For the penalty the ball seem to strike Oliver at some pace. I have no idea whether it was a handball or not however what I will say is I immediately looked at the referee. He looked to the linesman who gave nothing. No signal no movement. The referee then pointed to the spot. The fact the referee looked to the linesman tells me he wasn’t 100% sure and if he isn’t 100% sure he shouldn’t have gave it.

The refs and his assistants are mic-ed up, that's how they communicate throughout the game. 

What if he's, say, 98% sure?

Next time I'll post we'll take a doing and shouldn't even bother turning up as the opposition are a shoe-in to win!

Sorry for my optimism 🙄

You must've been ecstatic you could post that when you saw the score. What a life!

The only thing that disappointed me last night was how we lost the first goal. We were right in the game at the point and to effectively gift them a goal was infuriating (not necessarily just keeper at fault, where's the midfield showing for it, where's the decisiveness to play a pass from the defence).
