Swello Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Firstly - it's a massive relief that there is a team that are objectively worse than us in the league (but the worry is still that there is only one). I enjoyed the first half in that we did quite a lot of stuff that we've been unable/unwilling to do against better teams. We looked quite pacy going forward, worked it well from wide and were actually quite entertaining which I had forgot was a part of going to a game. Goals aside, seeing Bair doing what he did today, I'm still holding onto the belief that someone will get that out of him semi-regularly which would make him useful (this is the part that St Johnstone supporters tell us that it will never happen). 2nd half was dire and actually reminded me of watching us under GA where there was some point where it was decided that we'd done enough to win and going for more goals wasn't allowed. Ultimately, nothing was really advanced today (other than the fact that 12 place looks unlikely which is something I guess) - the goal that we lost still makes it feel like we won't do enough against better teams to beat them. The team line was a bit weird and is exactly the type of thing that managers do when they are under pressure - can't see it being tried again. Anyway - it's a win - thank f**k. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, Martingale is part of the furniture and the only way he is going is if he resigns. Kettlewell gets a stay of execution and can sleep easy for another week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to decide if it's best for the club that he moves up to DoF or whatever, and we get a new manager in. His post match interview shows he's clearly lost the backing of a lot of players, we haven't the money to drop them and get more in to replace them, so we're screwed unless he either steps down or gets them back onside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine the players will be sound with that. Few days ago (and other times previously) he's more or less had a go at the fans for booing, but it's obviously fine for him to come out and berate them publicly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allroy for Prez Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Bair’s second today was like Van Veen at his best. An outstanding finish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) Headline is that we shot ourselves in the foot there. Two mistakes from players under no pressure in the back line. For Devlin’s misplaced pass I do think Penrice was the correct option but the execution was dire and Bair is just a better athlete, clearly. The defending was absolutely comical and i didn’t see that coming - when was the last time we conceded 3 (and outwith old firm?)? Can we have Hamilton in goals, please. Thought Motherwell having midweek off might’ve really told in the second half but there wasn’t much in that. If Anderson’s strike that rebounded into Kelly’s arms gone in then we might’ve had something to cheer second half but it was miserable. Was is Montaño that hit the bar(?) aswell? Gotta laugh as my whole match day experience was farcical with getting to the stand I bought a ticket for only to see it shut then passed from pillar to post (turnstile guy wouldn’t let me in a minute before kick off even though I was showing my e-ticket) to finally wait in the ticket office queue and get into game 11 mins late. With soaking feet I looked forward to a hot drink at halftime but the second half started before I got served and k wasn’t missing more football so sacked that shite day.

Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Highlight of the match for me was the bold Thelonius starting to walk off the pitch when Man Of The Match got announced. He obviously heard his name over the Tannoy and assumed he was getting subbed. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feck's sake. The utter gall of it. She's ours! We even give her plenty of time-off! They've stolen ideas, players, fans from their geographically natural clubs, and any competitiveness from the league... why would they stop at Our Nat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson was offside for that effort and there was a foul given before the Livi guy struck the bar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 There is nothing about Theo Bair that would make me predict him stopping the ball and flicking it over the keeper. Nonchalance is not a word I have heard used in the same sentence as Theo Bair. That was exquisite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
