C_titz Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Some of the shouts at Irvine from the terraces were embarraisng. Had Elgin pretty much pinned into their own half the whole game . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSilverFox Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Two calamities by us cost us points but in the many, many years I’ve been following the Loons I’ve never seen such atrocious officials, they truly lost the plot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly what's more embarrassing is that more people aren't concerned at how utterly grim it is so watch us be a completely different team each week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were 11, erm 10, oops 9 baffling beasts in Elgin shirts today. None as baffling as some of the officials decisions, right enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 We can say what we like about the sheer incompetence of the officials today but ultimately the fact we had a man advantage for almost an hour & still struggled needs to be looked at. We've no real cutting edge. The goal early in the game we conceded was shambolic. Armour showed where a striker should be for his goal, matty just isn't the answer. The back 4... shaky at best & I'd agree Mark is becoming more error prone. Whilst some may like Irvine & Co they can surely see how poor on the whole we've been this calender year. No Plan B, constant sideways passing.... Sometimes they need to accept to win at this level, you don't need to play 'football' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negros y blancos Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Another away point . But feels like pulling teeth ️. Well done though no complaints since we ended with 9 versus 11 . Suspensions are the last thing we need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, I was surprised that McCallum stayed on. Nditi had him in the recovery position, even if he passed the "concussion test" (not an expert, but what is entailed in the concussion test medical staff do to players) he should have been taken off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwh Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Not sure we did a whole lot wrong. Shambolic officiating. Could have had 5 pens. No complaints about either of the ones awarded but everything in between was awful. 2 poor, poor goals to concede and another draw that should have been a win. Not time for panic stations yet but there is growing cause for concern. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwh Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 The fact that Marc finished the game is scandalous. Looked out cold for minutes, concussion protocol in football needs seriously, seriously looked at 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought, bar the two calamities, we played some amazing football today.

But putting the ball in the back of the net is a constant issue with us & as we all know, shambolic defending that leads to goals is one of our trademarks. The problem is, under Irvine we rarely put together a good 90 minutes, we always play well in stages. Last season was riddled with games we drew that we should've won. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bollan, Weir, Malcolm and now Irvine, all defenders! Maybe we shouldn’t be surprised the footy isn’t always positive but should be better at the other end and surely they can identify good defenders!7 wins since Boxing Day should be a worry for any club but I’d suggest it’s better having a good option to bring in before you make a change. Who’s out there that could have a positive attacking influence on the team? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
