I wasn’t on the pitch but I did run down to the barrier like a bit of a mad man. I think ‘pent up emotion’ that glass described is fairly accurate. You got the feeling in the stands going into the last 10 that if we scored something like that may happen. Folk were absolutely desperate for an old fashioned bounce. And why not eh? Personally, it was a just a brilliant moment after the misery of streaming last season. I was absolutely buzzing for the rest of the night. The pitch invasion at Livingston has happened before pre-Covid. I remember it happening when Dean Campbell scored the winner when I think we came back from a goal down that day too. Possibly something Livingston need to look at. I think it's also happened with the Sevco hordes too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its possibly unfair to lay blame with livi but thankfully stewarding was pretty lax yesterday. I say thankfully because almost no one was wearing a mask but they didn’t seem to care. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clarify, I wasn't blaming Livingston but pitch invasions aren't only a possibility when the Dons come to town. Yesterday's pitch invasion was harmless enough but maybe the next one will be against another opponent and have more sinister undertones. Therefore, if anyone needs to take action then it's Livingston, to get their house in order. Edited August 9, 2021 by Bogbrush1903 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully most stadiums seem to be quite relaxed with the requirement to wear a mask. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't it in the 1970s/1980s when Oldco used pitch invasions as a tactical ploy to stop matches that were running away from them on the pitch?

I've already said before that I don't really have a problem with pitch invasions - it was more to do with the suggestion that Livi were at fault for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 2 hours ago, Bogbrush1903 said: I did think the same regarding these three players; however playing JET as the lone striker in the first half didn't work as he tends to roam and drop deep. I was just thinking how poor Jenks had been when he scored the equaliser. He's settling into a new club in a new league (for him) as a first team squad member for the first time in his career so patience required as he's not the finished article yet. It's easy to write off McGinn as finished due to his age rather than just saying he didn't have a particularly effective game. The positive thing is we're not solely reliant on him producing the goods now, and I'm sure we'll see him play better and produce moments of magic as the season progresses. Big Joe's performances are still slightly concerning. I'm not sure how Anderson managed to flick that ball backwards before Lewis reached it; however, he's proven himself to be a very good goalie in the past and we must believe he'll regain his form. I suspect he reacted slightly late because the Livi guy was standing virtually on his toes when the ball came back in, and Joe thought it was bound to be flagged offside. I initially thought the goal was clownshoes defending, but actually it was a combination of bad luck and good reaction from (a marginally onside) Anderson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
