Sean, (can't remember your spelling of it so apologies) perfectly sums it up with his post iv quoted for you.

Every game we've played in the league has been a tight affair, like every other game we've played this season tbf. Alot will depend on the defence we can put out as well as the players dunfermline have back. I think we should have enough to get the win but it's a derby game and anything can happen.

The morton patter clearly went over your head there then... I'm not sure why you thinking macdonald is a better 'keeper than dabrowski would offend me either quite honestly. Kev literally does stay on his line to the point people criticise him for doing it.... The second goal yesterday didn't have anything to do with him making the wrong choice with sticking to his line, he just fucked up the execution of coming a yard off it, which would have been an easy take if he'd met the ball at its highest point instead of waiting on it to drop in to him.

Macdonald was pretty terrible at dealing with crosses and his kicking has always been hit or miss... Probably a reason he doesn't play for morton regularly and it isn't all down to injury champ.

Title winners win the games you need to win. Thus far we've done that, although we are second. I'm not writing us off for the title right now but if Watson is out for any length of time I do think it will be very difficult to sustain a title challenge. Unless Goodwin wants to keep helping us maintain one of course...

Agreed. I'd also say that Murray was too slow to react and make changes. I can't have been the only one saying here we go again after bird scored, the players certainly looked like they where.

@TxRoverthe only thing I would say is it's genuinely taught from a young age that you meet the ball at its highest point from crosses as a 'keeper. The guys 6'4? Or thereabouts. That second goal last night was criminal from him. I accept he hasn't played consistently but to me that is part of the very basics of being a goalkeeper. I'm a big fan of his though and he has won us plenty of games that we can afford him the odd mistake however in a title run in, which we are now in, we can't afford such basic errors.

I don't think he's any worse defensively than millen is. He doesn't offer the same going forward but the big difference last night was Watson getting injured. Any chance at winning the league depends on keeping him fit which seems pretty unlikely considering the season he's had.

You understood that word salad?

What kind of absolute weirdo takes great delight in the team he claims to support losing.

What an absolute nob

It's not all about you.

That's an embarrassment.

Where's the excitement in that...

Haven't won or lost by more than one goal in the league all season.

Couldn't give a f**k about Arbroath or having a good day out there. Would rather enjoy a day out in Edinburgh or Aberdeen next season than a trip to gayfield etc tbh.

Not sure why ton fans take such offence to things after 16 games unbeaten either tbh. Certainly seem a precious bunch with that sort of thing.

Morton are clearly a physical team so it's baffling their fans take such offence to it. We certainly mix it up with them when we're playing them, as the game dictates though. Draw was a fair result. Can't think of either keeper making a save of note and it's a good point for both teams all things considered. We should have had a pen in the first half but it happens.

Was a penalty and I'd like to see the elbow into the back of Hamilton again from our pov. Can see why smiths could have been a red but don't think it was.

Maybe naw...

Refs having a mare but that was just a yellow tbf

Think our tactics are working well so far. Hamilton is just being a nuisance. Ref isnt having a great game for either team so far Imo.

Tasty game so far. Could argue a red wouldn't have been out of place with the "challenge" on Hamilton.

He's nothing to prove against us. We know he's a good 'keeper and most would have kept him in the summer. Tx please...
