We were diabolical. That simple.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not taking anything away from Livi's performance but our pathetic showing contributed to Livi's dominance. Livi should of won by more.

At this stage, I'd be happy to finish above the play off place. The lack of fight was despicable today.

Livi's number 10 was immense today, great player.

[snorkie]

comfortable win for livi today with best home performance for a wee while.Bodes well for the next manager coming in hopefully.
mon the lions!!!

Thistle's problem is certainly up front. They score so few goals that they need a good defence (which they've had - today was the first time they conceded more than 2 goals in a game this season, I think), but if that breaks down it's always going to be trouble. It was something of a nothing game, but the fact is that Livi had a load of half-chances and took some of them, whereas we didn't. Credit where it's due - Livi played a good game - but we really missed Archibald and Aaron Sinclair today, and the Livingston strikers simply had too much space. Scott Fox had a good game - there wasn't much he could do about the goals, and he kept the scoreline respectable. Everyone else was mediocre. Almost every move broke down because of a bad first or second touch, and the old tail of not taking chances appeared again. Erskine got unlucky with that shot off the crossbar though.

I am a bit optimistic however. We scored, which is something, and some moves had potential. We'll also have the defence back, and Morton aren't going too well either. But agreed that the Morton and Ayr games are biggies. The title is probably Ross County's to lose, but we want to be there to pounce if County do slip up. 6/6 from these games is essential. Fingers crossed...

Put down the crack pipe. Or give it to me. Absolute best we'll do this season is 4th.

Giez peace ya diddy.

I think I've just about lost interest in the football. Infact its been that way the last few years, go for a few games, then when the boredom and the reality of another dull season kicks in I start staying away. I don't really like Jackie or Sid either, not been overly impressed by the signings and overall performance of the team. Berwick Rangers and Culter still stick in my craw. Oh by the way, before one of his fanboys leaps to his defence about WHO COULD POSSIBLY FILL HIS BOOTS, I'd take one of these guys next year. Jimmy Nicholl, Colin Cameron, Paul Sheerin, all done well at clubs with much less resources. Maybe would have even taken Gardner Spiers too if he hadn't signed a new contract. Get the feeling we'll be seeing Jackie next year though regardless, sadly. He doesn't deserve another shot right now.

Agreed. I'm sure we'll finish mid-table but the games are so fucking boring.

This season has been a conundrun this season. We whack Morton 5-0 then our next game, after an interval of two weeks we got pumped by Rovers 2-0.
The cups have been poisoned chalices this season for sure.
In the league we have performed better than the last few seasons. We've even won a couple of away games.
Defensively we have performed well but this has been negated by our ability to break down the opposition. The lack of goals means that if the opposition score first we usually get beat 1-0. The only exceptions that spring to mind are the 2-2 each draws with County and Falkirk.
This inconsistency is understandable due to the reliance on younger players and a lot of loan players.
Sadly the overall result is the usual apathy setting in once we're out the cup.
There are good players at the club but we seem to want to walk the ball into the net at times.
McNamara acknowledges a lot of what we can see is wrong with the team. His challenge is to work on them by the end of the season. If he doesn't he may not last long into next season.
TTID .

Can any Livi fans tell me if U19s player Michael Scott has played for the 1st team this year? And if so, was he any good?

No, he hasn't. He scores goals for the U19s though. Why do you ask?

[Curzon21]

Just settling a discussion, but thanks anyway.

[Stadio Delle Almondvale]

Very pleasing.

There was a lot riding on this game one way or another. If we can keep that performance level up and take 6 points from Raith & Ayr then I'm confident we will be a Division 1 team next season.

Scougall was different class on Saturday.

11th Jan '12 - Livingston 3-1 Partick Thistle

Good highlights. And Watson's goal celebration covered in full.
