Salim missed a sitter of a header to put us ahead but made up for it with his free kick that got as back into the game. I thought we were lucky to be only one goal behind at half time tbh, they could have scored a couple more. The best player on the park was Celtic's Okoflex, looks a real talent but unfortunately we won't be seeing it in a Scotland jersey. McKendrick totally bottled sending off Celtic defender who took out Martin when he was clean through, didn't even give the foul. That seemed to fire us up a bit, second half we were better and a horrific mistake by the Celtic full back laid it on a plate for Martin. Could have won it at the death but Moore's lob over the keeper bounced a yard from the line and over the bar I totally understand why we made changes but I was expecting 4 or 5, not nine. It was a tournament that we had a great run in last year and always nice to get a buffoonery trip to a non -Scottish team ( even a trip to Falkirk's ground would have been unique for us), so from that point of view a wee bit disappointing. However, three points on Saturday and a decent league campaign is far more important Edited August 7, 2019 by Mick1867 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qpfc Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Does David Crawford still exist ? The game was a lot better than I thought it was going to be, with lots of chances for both teams. Thought Martin and Main were the best players, particularly Main. He’s got a terrific engine and loves a tackle, more than capable of getting into the starting XI. Regan was promising and came more into the game throughout the 2nd half, you can tell he’s quality for someone of his age, alongside the keeper who was also very impressive. Overall, good to see our fringe players are capable of stepping in which I have no doubts they will throughout the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden Diehard Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Disappointed not to progress but tempered by a team with nine changes finishing so strongly. With natural changes, suspensions and injuries, these guys will feature in future first teams. Giving them a run is understandable.I'd be more worried if I were a Celtic fan. How many of their side looked like first team material?On a heavy grass park, that high bouncing ball from Moore wouldn't have bounced so high and would have been the winner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll think twice about how I spend my cash come the Scottish Cup if we’re not going to compete. Maybe not quite what you're saying, but I felt we did compete, particularly from two goals down. We won a watch with last year's competition, but that wasn't every team's experience. We put out strong teams in the League Cup games; we can be forgiven for this one, especially given how the lads performed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be significantly more pissed off with him for risking them than I am about being knocked out. Huge respect to him for treating the competition with the utter contempt it deserves. He's not the only League Two manager who made sweeping changes. It's also good to see this tinpot shambles getting the attendances it deserves. Back to the competitive action on Saturday.

The man with no name Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I enjoyed the game on Tuesday and watching our fringe and young players. I accept the league is the priority but still see a place for the challenge cup if used as we did on Tuesday. Throw Inthe fact we got caramel wafers as well. I would kick out the foreign clubs and it would be a decent tournament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really a competitive football match if only one set of fans care about the outcome. Even then, the level to which the set of fans who do care is dimmed dramatically. Highland League, Lowland League, Championship to League Two would be a good competition. No more inviting the Renford Rejects, Mighty Ducks and Hamilton Boys Club. Makes a total mockery of what was once a decent and worthwhile tournament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was told by someone who spoke to him shortly after he signed was that having been out of the game for a couple of years he'll mainly be working on his fitness over the next few months until he's at a level to compete for a first team place, or at least provide cover for Muir. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I see the point of that. If Muir had been injured in the League Cup games then presumably one of the youngsters would have had to play. Judging by Tuesday we have a lad who could fill in adequately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
