McGlynn said in his interview he chose to bring the new guys on to give them a taste whilst it was 2-0. Don’t think there is any story in Burrell not getting on tbh. 

His chances of getting on will certainly have increased with Meekison’s injury.

Having watched the highlights back, the decisions Kirkland made look even worse than I thought at the game yesterday. Blatant shove on McKay for their goal and another blatant shove on Mackie just ignored. The highlights didn’t include Morrison being through on the goal but the game being stopped due to obvious play acting by the Edinburgh player. Maybe it’s time McGlynn called the refereeing out, it seemed to work for Postecoglou and Celtic!

Great win yesterday, good to be getting that bit of distance from 2nd/3rd while gaining on the gap up top. Thought Morrison had some excellent crosses and Henderson had a fantastic game. Even shows in the highlights - he is in almost every clip. McGinn and McKay as well both had great games and so did PJ! It was "close" only because of the refereeing.

As he isn't the celtic manager, McGlynn would be hit with a 3 match ban if he did that.

I'm guessing you just copy + paste a message from someone who was actually at the game?

It’s not faint font. It’s your eyesight. We all know what causes poor eyesight

For a team with most goals and most shots in the league this is just remarkable. We’re due a pen almost every game til the end of the season.

We're absolutely missing g our first league penalty to win an important league match now....

    

Or getting our 1 penalty of the season in a match where we are 4 nil up in the 8th minute

This is an incredible statistic. 27 penalties awarded to the 9 other teams. Even more incredible if you compare the stats to the goals shots and possession in the opposition box that we have had.

Someone should send a video with compilation of the stonewallers we haven't been given and send it to the SFA. Failing that send it to view from the terrace and shame them.

It's more incredible when you take it in context of the standard of refereeing in this league. Not only have all our stonewallers been waved away, but none of these absolute clowns have even made a wee mistake and gave us a soft one

I can remember when Edinburgh City won the East of Scotland League.

We didn't get a League penalty until March...

Which is either a premonition that Falkirk will be Champions or you'll get a penalty in March....

Surprised that no one has called out the facilities yesterday.

Five portals,  + one hospitality van + no cover + no elevation for standing areas = poor entertainment & bad experience.

Surely time for City of Edinburgh to find alternative home as not conducive to professional football.

Looking deeper.  We  are the only club in the top four leagues to yet be awarded a penatly this season.  Its odd as we are the joint fourth top scoring team out of the 42 teams.  Indeed, by goals per game average, only the Old Firm score more per game.  Clearly, we are an attacking team that gets into offensive positions yet we have not been awarded a single penalty all season.  It just does not add up!!

Think we need to have our video analyst working overtime and have them watching teams that are awarded penalties regularly and work out what you need to do in order to have the referee award you a penalty because we are clearly not doing it just now.

True re Tom Daley Cardle who’s always good for a dive 🙌

Think you will find the result will be different this time round though & expecting somebody to be on end of a hiding one of these days, & maybe this Saturday 🤔

Was done to death the first time, to be fair.

This is unbelievable. One thing to be the only team in league one but for that to be across the top four leagues is beyond a joke.
