sergie's no1 fan Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 McGinn strolling it but not found that killer pass yet. Quitongo is absolutely electric. Ref has let a few meaty 50/50 tackles go and has blew for some niggly wee fouls so the games struggling to get into a rhythm. Decent enough half for a 0-0, we are causing Morton some trouble in their box but we can't get the decisive shot away. Quitongo looks so dangerous on the break.

Dunning1874 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 This is as garbage as expected from us. The saving grace is that St Mirren have also been dreadful, but they've still easily been the better team and they're looking far more likely to score than us as they have complete control of midfield and that means the game has mostly been played in our half. It's been a game of two teams utterly devoid of imagination in attack trying to bludgeon their way through the opposition defence and failing, I'm sure it's a scintillating watch if any neutrals have turned up. The positive to take is that this war of attrition nonsense at least means we could screw our way to a 1-0 win from a set-piece, and if that comes to pass we can say our approach has been successful in reducing this game to utter shite in the first place, but what we've done with the few set-piece opportunities we've had so far gives us little reason to be confident of that paying off.

Colkitto Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 We're giving away stupid niggly fouls. Lacking a bit of composure up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLean is actually ruining the game by stopping play for little reason every 20 seconds. Really poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were expecting us to turn up and outplay the league leaders away?This has been solid from us, exactly what was required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 FT 2-2If the first half was a snooze fest, the second half was rip snorting entertainment.All kicked off when Morgan stuck a 25 yard free kick into the wall, chased the rebound and was tugged. Might have been a foul, might not have been. Might have been inside the box, might not have been. Penalty, 1-0.Then Morton ran down the park and scored a fantastic equaliser. Sat up for the lad and great finish from outside the box into the bottom corner. Then we go down the other end and go back ahead through another fine goal. Good move, Smith in behind, good cut back, excellent finish Reilly.Then a corner Morton and one of those tug off the ball penalties. Might have been a foul, probably wouldn't have been given if our one wasn't.Draw probably about right, Dunfermline lost... so we are still clear at the top of the league. Good day. Let's win at Tannadice next week, send the proverbial message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry Saint Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Morton's first was a great goal. Decent second half. Top of the league still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahid khan Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Will take that. Murdoch’s goal was a belter. Can only be happy with a draw away from home against the league leaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Absolutely knew that we were getting the penalty after the ref spoke to the captain. They were doing it all game and weren't about to listen.Thought we got away with one on the dive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demented Zebra Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 Well done Morton on getting a point your journey down the road was not a bad one. We still have a great record at home and did not lose so relatively happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 A point probably fair. At 1-0, Morgans dig from outside the box came off a Morton player and should have been a corner. Ref doesn't spot it, Morton run up the park and make it 1-1. Not sure if our penalty was inside or not. Reilly's one was certainly outside the box but it was a definite foul. Buchanan is an idiot. Ref tells everyone off before Morton corner so it's obvious he's looking to give something one way or the other so why clearly commit the foul directly in front of a ref who was looking for a reason to give something? All in all, frustrating day but still extended our lead. So not all bad I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Both penalties were blatant fouls, only debate to be had is whether St Mirren's was actually in the box. Fair result regardless, incredible that a great game of football somehow broke out after that first half. I'm happy enough with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWBud Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Good second half to be fair, bit of stick coming from both sets of fans made it a good laugh. Unsure on both the penalties but 2-2 was probably a fair result in the end, and still top of the league. COYS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
