Absolutely no team is good enough to go up this season including Morton aye we’re good enough to not go down but the level is horrendous to watch, someone needs to go up but they’ll be straight back down again

Don't think it's as straight forward as that; us, Dundee, or Thistle would massively revamp our squads in the Premiership. Not sure about Ayr or Morton though

Gretna B will be straight back down the leagues in no time and can’t wait to witness it

Schwake, Blues, and A Crawford cost us the win tonight. End of.

Set-up and performance overall were excellent.

If you’re bleating about Imrie or - f**k me - McGrattan, you maybe shouldn’t be watching football.

Why? Genuine question.

It's clearly Imrie's decision to allow A Crawford to take the pen instead of Muirhead, unfortunately his wee pal hasn't been up to the standard we expected him to be.

Howler from Schwake. Ali Crawford can get in the sea, should never have taken that penalty.

That being said, Gaston saved both that and the rebound well.

We had the chances but simply didn't take them. McGrattan has to start over Ali Crawford next.

Grimshaw and Gillespie were solid and Muirhead ran his socks off.

We'll be lucky to make the playoffs but, we've done well to be up where we are considering where we were at the start of the season. 

Mate, Ali Crawford was your best player. Maybe not as a penalty taker.

So a couple thoughts on that.  First of all, I get why we had the same team out, so I can't criticise the management too much for that.  But I think Morton were set up well against us.  el Mhanni got absolutely nowhere, he was just (fairly) muscled off the ball and kept under control.  They clearly knew that the last traces of Ricky Little's legs have given up the ghost, and they were just better.  Better managed, and looked like they wanted it more.  They also kept Balde under more pressure than most teams normally do, and I think that showed in the amount of times he lost the ball tonight.  Good management from Morton.

Second half, bringing on Adarkwa was a massive change, finally, a grown up, and also bring on Linn too.  We looked better in the second half, to the point where I wasn't really worried about conceding a second, but I was still struggling to see where we would get a goal from.  Just really poor all round.

The last 15 minutes or so were mental though, I know it doesn't change anything, I know we desperately needed to win that, and it was a total robbery, but after the equaliser, that penalty, the double save, the late free kick, I was celebrating like a loon!

And I thought Classy Dougie Imrie was the most raging guy tonight.
