FT 1-0 Meh. Probably didn’t deserve to lose but we missed a penalty and several other chances so that’s how it goes. Definitely an end of season feel about it from our side second half. Thought Well’s goal could have been offside but never got a good angle on any replay. Certainly plenty of claims for it from our players. Highlight of the half was Joe shoving Long off the pitch after some time wasting 🤣 Good to see Jay Henderson get on second half, he looks promising. Hopefully get Obika back for the big one in the cup next week, felt we missed his presence today.

Terrifying that O’Donnell is in the Scotland squad, what a huddie.

HT 0-0 Been quite entertaining stuff for an end of season game. We’ve certainly been the better side, should have had two penalties and got one. McGrath is human after all, decent save from Kelly. Still 8/9 isn’t a bad record from the spot this season and if he’s going to miss one, better to be in a relatively meaningless game like this. Motherwell have been their usual physical self. Plenty of kicking and fouling all over the park. Had a decent chance on the break but was well saved by Alnwick. Erwin’s been good, played a great ball through to McGrath early doors that should have been scored and forced a few saves out of Kelly late on with decent efforts on target. Like to see some of the young boys get some minutes second half. Get Reid and Henderson on.

Saints denied yet another stonewall penalty. Phone call to Crawford Allen needed IMO.

Not sure about this being a ‘big game’. It’s relatively meaningless end of season fayre, for us at least. Well could still get themselves involved in the relegation battle if they don’t get the win. Personally, I’m not too concerned whereabouts in mid table we finish, unlike fans of other clubs it would seem. I would like to see us rest a few players ahead of the actual big game we have coming up, which is next week at home to Inverness. Our real priority today has to be getting our technical players through 90 minutes against the notorious North Lanarkshire hammer throwers unscathed. Hopefully we get a strong referee. 0-0

Obika involved in all three goals on Saturday, surprised he hasn’t been offered a contract yet. Hope someone else doesn’t nick him on a PCA. Good draw in the cup. We won’t have to beat anyone above us in the league to reach the semi finals, which doesn’t happen often. We had to beat two teams above us to reach the league cup semi. Huge chance for us.

He’s a good quiz answer: What Scottish player currently playing in Scottish football has won both the FA Cup and Scottish Cup.

What a bizarre career Fraser Fyvie has had. Next big thing when he broke through at Aberdeen, flopped in England, back up the road and starts the final in Hibs Scottish cup win in 2016, then three years later he’s playing part time with Cove Rangers. He’s 28 FFS 🤣

Rangers / Cove / Celtic v St Johnstone / Clyde Killie / Montrose v St Mirren or ICT Aberdeen / Livi v Forfar / Dundee Utd Stranraer / QOTS / Hibs v Motherwell or Morton Beat ICT at home then Killie or Montrose away for a semi final spot? Take that. I’ll predict the four semi finalists will be: Celtic St Mirren Dundee Utd Motherwell

I’d pick Morton or Motherwell for the winner of our tie. Been ages since either of them beat us.

Disappointing that all the lower league teams avoided each other. Forfar and Montrose were still in the hat with four balls left, would have been quite an Angus derby.

Killie v Montrose

Forfar v Dundee Utd

Aberdeen v Livi

Rangers / Cove v Celtic Ooft, great draw for the rest of us.
