Its definitely a quandary, who knows how the whole debacle will end. Celtic, Utd and Cove have practically won their leagues, and deserve their titles, with division 1 still to be decided. God knows what happens to the relegation spots. For once, I wouldn't want to be in the hot seat deciding upon this, sod that.

Amazing what a five game run can do.

Well deserved win 2-0

Side of a building? A continent? The fvcking earth?

He's not alone tbh - Hemmings seems to be the only one who actually hits the target Yep. Could easily be 3-2 here, both teams look iffy at the back, but incapable of taking advantage

Nelson literally couldn’t hit the side of a bus right now.

Ayr hit the post after a corner. End to end stuff.

Wouldn’t say that. Should have been 1-1 before it should have been 2-0. Both teams have had chances.

Good goal, nice flick by Gowser, easy finish for Hemmings.

Hamiltons wife popped out a bairn last night, I just hope he didnt have to catch it.

I will be watching this live at 3:45am tomorrow morning, get your money on another 0-0 borefest.

Tactics, that you yourself said wouldn't work, so thats a bit silly isn't it? If youre replying to me, and trying to generalise about the average fan, that just makes you look a bit silly again. Tar me with things Ive actually said, not generalisations that you think backs up your point. If you can find anything like that, then fair enough, otherwise, whats the point. The 'Im not a gamer' comment makes less sense than your average post. You don't have a clue about how we can play as a team, so maybe if the ball does hit you in the head, it might knock some sense into you. But probably not.

A hell of a lot of dreaming, wishing and frankly downright nonsense in that post. This is real life, not Football Manager with the editor being utilised.

Playing wingbacks, and wingers doesn't work, its incredibly unbalanced and would be a disaster. Playing a 523 formation that you recommend wouldn't work. Playing Byrne and Dorrans in midfield would be a terrible idea, and allow Ayr to dominate possession and give them a free run. I cant think of any team that would line up like that.

Its amazing how different peoples opinions on the game could be, that team would get absolutely ripped apart in midfield, it would be a monumental mauling of epic proportions, even McCann and McIntyre would look at that and think, nah maybe thats no use.

That bit is utter pish isn't it?

Well said, spot on.

Oh, I completely agree, but midweek it was him or nothing, and on Saturday by all accounts there were no goal threats in the team. We rely purely on the one, or occasionally two strikers in the team, the midfield, and wingbacks offer practically no threat. Thats where I think the team is set up horribly wrong. Not conceding is great, but we have scored the third least amount of goals in the league, we still have a negative goal difference, for me, these are both criminal.

Fair analysis. Deep playmaker spreading the play to attacking wing backs is a tactic some teams use, but I don't see us doing that. Whatever we are supposedly trying, it doesn't work, and the midfield balance is all off IMO.

Theres been times when Byrne wasn't playing, and Dorrans has been deeper than the centre halves. You cant blame Byrne for everything. Dorrans was an attacking midfielder, and a. pretty good one at that, we shouldnt be signing him and letting him take the easy option and sit back and defend. If we play Byrne, McGhee and Dorrans, then he simply needs to be up the park, not poncing about in defence, thats not his job, if Byrne and McGhee cant get it right, then McPake fixes it, not Dorrans.

I think 95% of fans are biased one way or another, at least I admit it. It would take a monumental turnaround in our team for me to change opinion on him, and its not going to happen.

Why does Dorrans need to play as a 3rd, 4th or 5th central defender, he should be further up the park, but he decides to drop back. Im not a fan of Byrne, but I wouldn't blame him for Dorrans being what he is. But theres no goal threat from anyone in the team apart from Nelson midweek, or him and Hemmings today, if they have an off day, we are screwed. I just think the team is set up appallingly, midfield is terrible IMO. But the games all about opinions....

Im interested in regular watchers opinions, is Dorrans worth a game, or is he playing because he is McPakes mate? Apart from one goal, and a couple of decent passes, he seems like a complete passenger to me, thats. 21 league games for him, and I think he is a massive flop. We play a midfield of McGhee, Byrne and Dorrans for two games, and get no goals, and its no surprise. We are unbeaten in 5 games, yet my opinion of McPake sinks lower game by game, we are as dull as he is. (I admit, I just don't like him, so am biased now)

Yep, Id agree with that. A midfield of Byrne, McGhee and Dorrans is utterly rancid, theres zero creativity in that.
