Finishing 3rd, Play of semi final, beating Hearts at Tynecastle and walloping the Pars 5-1, can't really complain when I would have settled for 8th at the start of the season.

Dinnae forget the half Carmel Wafer😄

How the commentator composes himself enough not to thumb Michael Stewart and his condescending tone is a pretty incredible achievement.

To be fair it was a stupid question. 

3-0 is not a big enough lead to consider fielding a weakened team against a side in your own division when the result matters.

Aye well deserved for Dundee. Charlie Adam is an outstanding footballer for this level. The type of player that is genuinely enjoyable to watch when he’s not ripping the piss out of your team.

The whole Dundee midfield were good, nullified us totally. We can look back and wonder what might have been if we’d went in level at half time and we’ll never know but we have been well beat that can’t be denied.

No reason Dundee can’t go on and win promotion. The sides at the bottom of the Premiership are rotten and they have hit form at the right time. Good luck to them.

Ah well. Really disappointing to have blown it in the first leg and not even have a glimmer of hope for the return leg. 

We were playing alright most of the match but Dundee picked us off expertly.

Who knows what would've happened if the equaliser had stood but its all ifs and buts. 

Can't be too despondent after the season we've had.

Outclassed by Charlie Adam tonight. The officiating  was fucking shocking though, but would it have made a difference? Probably not, so no complaints.  We are out but what a great season we’ve had.

Looking back at the terrible offside call and thinking what if. 

We only have ourselves to blame in the second half. If it wasn't obvious as a matter of course, it ought to have been obvious after Dundee's opener that you cannot give Charlie Adam time and space. The man might not be a particularly great athlete, but he is a phenomenally talented footballer. To give him the time and space he needed and to. Leave ourselves open as we did was criminal. 

I can't see how we get back into this. May as well change it up and just go for it at Dens. It's a free hit.

The tie is long since done.

No complaints with the goals we conceded. 3 really good balls from Adam. Davo made a f**k up giving the ball away and the third we got caught too high up the park.

The goal that never was did change the nature of the game I think. There is no good excuse for the linesman call, and the way we set out in the second half is a bit different at 1-1. Hell even if we concede the exact same second goal, we are unlikely to be leaving as much room behind in the 80th minute if it's a 1 goal defecit than 2. 

Having said that, Dundee have better quality in a lot of areas, and Adam above all else gives them a dimension we don't have. Our style of play, over the season has probably papered over a lot of cracks: our lack of an established striker, our lack of depth at CB.

It's not been a bad season and at least we managed to win a 2 legged tie for only the second time of all the play offs we've been in.

Well beaten by a better side. 

We were okay in the first half, didn't create a great deall, but should hsve went in level. 

2nd half Dundee cruised it.  We really had to see it out at 2-0 and just regroup.  Really, really naive to leave that much space given the damage they had done. 

Not enough going forward for us, didnt see anywhere near enough from Vaughsn or Gullan, and for all that we can play nice football, there really wasn't enough decisive play. 

Dundee got it spot on though. Defended really well, let us have the ball where it didnt hurt them.  First 2 goals were quality, could have closed him down but real quality play from Adams. 

Game too far in the end, but well beaten.

Well done Dundee. Well deserved on the night. All the best for the final, but in truth I think we're looking forward to locking horns with you again next season. 

The bitterness from this post is palpable.
