I mean, it wasn't though. Fans put up with the horrendous football when it was relatively successful. Killie have nowhere near the budget we had at the time we were playing stone age stuff.

It was the manager who didn't give him a chance though.

Strange signing all round.

It's nothing to do with VAR though. I'm saying the decisions seemed obvious to me at the game and were even more obvious when I got home. The referee should be giving them both without VAR. Yesterday's result had nothing to do with VAR. If my under 10s give away a goal similar to either this afternoon then I'll be upset.

Just watched it on Sportscene. My eyes didn't deceive me at the game. A nailed on penalty apiece.

Jie Newell was motioning for him to get up at one point near the end. Shinnie was red carded for winning the ball and following through on an opponent. Can't see why a goalies punch should be any different?

Agreed. In fairness, McCrorie was underrated and he's replaced him but to go in to the season with him as first choice and Morris as the back up was insane.

MacDonalds use of the ball us what probably keeps him out.

To be fair, he's had a run of game after game. He's needing some training ground time to get his point across IMO. I don't think there's anything he could do coaching wise to prevent those goals today.

Great post. I still think we'll get top six, though.

I've never blamed the euro games, away games or congestion. Rangers game doesn't count against Warnock. He said before the game that all the work for that game will be done by Leven. Didn't see Bonnyrigg, can't comment on it but a colleague said we were poor. Motherwell is absolutely on Warnock, but he made positive changes early doors and salvaged a draw. Today we were the better team but two of the most experienced pros made basic errors. I'm not sure how he can be culpable for that. The performance was much better and we played some good stuff at times.

MacKenzie was motm for me. Duk was so good he had four around him at times.

Won't disagree with you there!

He was very lucky not to be punished on at least three occasions on the edge of our own box. The standard he's set is so high that it's noticeable when he's off it, IMO.

I've just defended him for the penalty he conceded against Hearts I've always called it how I see it with players, no agenda. I've been one of Barron's biggest supporters on here but thought he was one of the worst in red today.

As I said, I'll need to see it again but leaning in to a cross is certainly worthy of a penalty. Michael Stewart said it was below the shirt line. Which is another nonsense rule that has been written by some fucking lawyer.

I've posted it a million times but I was genuinely annoyed with the decisions that went for us against St Johnstone. That's not football.

Well he absolutely wiped him out and looked a stonewall penalty from where I was sat. Checked the BBC live text and they seemed to think the same? The Devlin one looked a stonewaller to me as well. Certainly more of a pen than the one he conceded to Hearts.

That Celtic fan they had on was an absolute throbber. Going on about Scottish clubs should copy the Sociedad model. Celtic have a brilliant youth system, they just don't use it! Aberdeen fan may have been worse but I had to nip in to the shop just as he started a verbal assault on Tom English.

Don't think he said anything incorrect, though? Goals we lost were poor from our point of view. Ref was shite. Hibs players dived constantly. Game was entertaining. Pretty spot on for me.

There's no one who sits near me that doesn't get fucked off with VAR. My son has hated it for months. My daughters, with no real interest in football, can't stand it.

That was genuinely one of the most inept refereeing performances I've seen in years. I'd maybe need to see it again but it looked a stonewall pen for each team missed. How that fanny at right back for Hibs wasn't booked is beyond me. Roos cost a goal again. Devlin absolute plum for the second. Livi level player.

Not sure what you're expecting? He can't go on the pitch and do it for them.

I remember when we were in for Devlin and we all said might be good back up. Whoever decided he was a first choice full back should be nowhere near recruitment.

When was the last time all our outfield players were numbered 2-11?
