Cptn Hooch Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 ‘Well fans no longer jizzing their pants about Turnbull after an anonymous second half [emoji38]Thought we were the better team for at least the last half hour and kept their danger men quiet. The defence certainly looked more settled in the second half. Tiffoney was outstanding after coming on and Menga gave us another threat going forward, don't know how he didn't get a penalty at the end!!! Also thought Miller did really well in a new role for him. Worked his socks off and gave us a bit of height in midfield. Felt we missed Keaghs or Lawson first half though as their tenacity and energy could have matched Motherwell's better than Miller or Byrne. Odoffin needs to learn how to tackle, I like that he throws himself into challengers but he'll get booked more than he'll win the ball with how late he is. Hardie has taken a huge knock in his confidence and, not for lack of trying, was dire today. Should have buried the penalty and the one he stabbed from 2 yards out that the keeper sidefooted clear without having to move. Not a bad team performance all in today, lacked a bit of intensity and a cutting edge up top. Referee gave Motherwell EVERYTHING and all 3 goals came from set pieces. I can't remember Stewart having to do too much other than that. Turnbull is a fantastic player and Motherwell will be fighting off bigger teams if he can keep it up, but I felt we dealt well with him and ariyibi (who I thought was a real threat) in the second half. Some good things to look forward to next season; Tiffoney looks an ideal partner for Miller or Dykes, Menga has settled into his role as a winger, Kelly has been offered a deal as, I'm sure, has Byrne, Lamie looks reasonably comfortable as a centre back at this level, Bartley coming in to give the backline a bit of protection and Hamilton are staying up so we only have to finish above them [emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghLivi Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 We were awful. Motherwell weren't great but didn't need to be as we self-destructed. Since when did we become so bad at defending set pieces? Obvious to say but we need to completely reconstruct the defence in the summer. I am not convinced that the guys we still have can be organised well enough. And very clearly we need to get a new keeper if Kelly goes... Referee was shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The backline might be fantastic once they get playing together...we seem to forget that the GHL unit played together for over 2 years so knew where they each needed to be at all times. You only get a solid defensive unit by playing together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DosserDel Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Very mixed game from us . Some suspect defending along with some good passages of play in the first half, then foot off the gas in 2nd half and Livi took full advantage to get right back in it. Enjoyable game considering it was the last day with nothing at stake. Big Tam Aldred hurtling into a double-pike into row D of the Hunter and landing in the middle of the flag was decent entertainment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) That was a good laugh. Went to bits slightly when we started chucking on school weans but as end of season games go it was pretty entertaining. Well done everyone.

Gianfranco Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 That was rather entertaining with both teams creating chance after chance. It could easily have been 6-5. The goal from the corner was sexy as was Gboly’s footwork for the first penalty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, Robinson said in his pre-match yesterday that he wanted to have a look at him playing as a #6. Not really a game to judge him but a few wayward passes aside he was fine for the most part though he looked a bit more uncomfortable at LB. 5 minutes ago, Gianfranco said: That was rather entertaining with both teams creating chance after chance.

Gianfranco Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Cadden had a lovely nutmeg in the first half as well. I’m sure the story of the match will capture a few of them. I hope the person in the disabled section is alright. Liam Donnelly knocked their hat clean off as he blasted his clearance of the face. Looked a sore yin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked a sore yin.Aye, that was just below me in the POD. I saw Donnelly put his laces through it but didn’t see who he’d scudded. There was a fair amount of concern from both sets of players.Hope they’re alright. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I assume all was ok, probably explains why he was over handing out a shirt at full time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 Thought we probably merited the win in the end. Donnelly looks like he could do a job in midfield but he's definitely not a left back. Some of Gboly's footwork though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 A mad game, quite enjoyable in the end but I was #seething at half time. Gave away some pish goals and I actually thought we looked alright going forward, just lost all defensive nous. There will be changes for us next year no doubt, sad to see some real cracking players for us go, but we need a bit of refreshment. Tiffoney done very well when he came on and it was encouraging to see De Vita play a more prominent role than what he did last week. The setup at Motherwell is fantastic, all things considered - quite jealous tbh, glad that they got in a good crowd and response from their local community. 5.5k for a menaningless end of season game against us is a good return. I’ll be bursting for the League Cup groups in a few weeks like most. [emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesP_81 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I hope the person in the disabled section is alright. Liam Donnelly knocked their hat clean off as he blasted his clearance of the face. Looked a sore yin.Aye was a belter thought his wheelchair was gonna go right over! The fella got taken outside for a good 10-15 mins to get checked over but seemed alright in the end. That was my boy's 2nd game he's been taken to and still has a record of 100%wins, when we saved their penalty I genuinely got a feeling that we would never lose a goal with him in the stadium!First time I've sat in the south stand and was a pretty good viewpoint, good enough to see all 5 goals, gboly's sexy footwork up close and some of griffith's best saves. All round a decent game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 If Livi fans don't manage to fit Tiffoney's name into the tune of I Think We're Alone Now by August then it's been a wasted summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghLivi Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Have to say, the viking clap at full time on all four sides of the ground was very cool. Great to see the kids getting involved as well! Hopefully some new supporters for you next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
