Henderson's passing was causing as much trouble tbh. The passing mid to forward was more fluent with Lawal and Burrell on for me, it's that final ball that wasn't there. Dundee easily better team overall, we are a big step from where they are now and I felt any genuine chance we had would've been at home. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoutinho Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Thought 3-0 was harsh tbh. We played ok and competed in large spells without creating much. Our passing was sloppy, which will be and was punished against a side like Dundee. McCann was excellent for me and Alegria did pretty well given his isolated he was. The decision making from Morrison and Nesbitt was questionable at times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Agree 3-0 was harsh, felt we competed well for a lot of the game, first goal was our own doing after a mistake by Hogarth. Never really laid a glove on Dundee though and created nothing. Felt they just looked faster and physically stronger than us. Wouldn’t single anyone out in our team as being particularly pish, just a night where we never really got going. Alegria done well but there was too much of a gap between him and the supporting midfield players. We definitely missed McGinn but glad he missed this rather than Saturdays game. We just need to get the result out of our systems and make sure we are back at it for Kelty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 What was Oliver sent off for? Twitter feed saw red for handling in the box but you don't get a red card for simply handling in the box. Sky had violent conduct FFS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 When does Oliver serve his suspension? Is it not until next season or does it carry over into the league? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Understandably the cash injection of wining would have been great, but the league is what we must focus on. Couldn’t make the game but reading between the lines we were a bit behind Dundee. Roll on Kelty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was "deliberate handball/denying a goal" as he knocked the ball off the line with some unspecified part of the top half of his body. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kinnear Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) To be fair to him his arms were into his body and I think it was just a natural reaction to try and stop it. I would like to see it again as it wasn’t as if he put his hands out to stop it. Edited August 30, 2022 by Harry Kinnear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 For me, the only consolation is that had this game taken place a year ago, it would have been a 5-0 or 6-0 or 7-0. 3-0 flattered them a bit, but it was clear to see over the 90 minutes that they are a solid enough middling Championship side, and we are still very much a L1 side albeit much better than last season. The gap between us and them has closed, but tonight showed that we are still some way off it. So the League Cup isn’t going to provide a quick financial fix. It’s back to league duty, and hopefully tonight doesn’t affect league momentum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumour has it he’s left it to the club in his will. There was, at some point, a note in the accounts that showed it as an increasing payment over time…YMMV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a bairn Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 We were quite poor tonight although that was down to Dundee just being a much better, and more complete team than us. We won’t play anyone remotely like them this season. It was another free hit and unfortunately we missed, but there is no real damage done. Felt bad for big Liam Henderson tonight - he should never have been shoehorned in as some McGinn replacement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, we somehow got worse when he went off though, although conceding the first goal when he was already done didn't help as it's a long road back. Goal wasn't his fault but timing was terrible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea and Busquets Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) For the penalty the ball seem to strike Oliver at some pace. I have no idea whether it was a handball or not however what I will say is I immediately looked at the referee. He looked to the linesman who gave nothing. No signal no movement. The referee then pointed to the spot. The fact the referee looked to the linesman tells me he wasn’t 100% sure and if he isn’t 100% sure he shouldn’t have gave it.

Tea and Busquets Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Should also point out the obvious here before someone else does but McGinn was a massive miss. Vital we keep him fit for the league games. Thought we lacked physicality up top when Alegria went off as he was competing well with Ashcroft and the other CB. Even left one of them on the deck first half where Morrison should score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Alegria is an odd one. There’s times where he looks hench as f**k and literally batters a CB out the way - he did this well a couple of times tonight - and then the following ball that gets played up to him, he’ll look really weak and end up just falling over. It’s probably inexperience but could get quite frustrating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stainrod Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 5 hours ago, HopeStreetWalker said: The club own the pitch but not the land it sits on. The club own seats but not the grandstand they sit on. The council charges the club running costs which knowing the council will be well loaded. Goodness knows what % of administration costs gas, electricity and other service charges are. That is money going out the club. It would be better used as being added to the mortgage payment. Find out the value of the stadium, car park and surrounding land. Arrange funding to buy it and develop the facility not only paying the off the loan but adding to team funds. The Council is always girning about funds so a one off casher there's good bet they bite our hand off. Arranging funding would not be easy too many banks were burnt in the past lending to football clubs .Unfortunately there is a history of clubs our size going into administration and not repaying loans. I would just reduce the payments to sandy alexander -he can’t exactly rent his stand to anyone else! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
