There is nothing wrong with frustration and constructive criticism when a negative performance has been witnessed. I do however doubt that it would have been so numerous if not for this antagonising thread.

lets just forget it these games will happen. The results were kind as well we still lead motherwell and Aberdeen and i believe yes we have been poor but i think we will be more consistent than some other teams this year. St Js will do well again this year but will also lose games as will dundee utd and everyone further down the table. Every tem will take points off each other below celtic and frankly people who thought the title was possible were getting a little carried away but i feel we will still have a fine season and sitting 2nd after 9 games is beyond our wildest dreams

I'm trying to think of a nice way to say please don't come back again...

No-one else amazed that the longest and most elaborate/affectionate pitch invasion that I have ever seen went completely unheeded by security? Maybe the guy was just too big to take on. I, for one, am going to start wearing my running shoes to games from now on................it looks like great fun!

As many of us realised long ago, Butcher is many things, but a tactical maestro is not one of them. The team are made to play a certain way from the start and when it's evident that it's not working, nothing is changed and we don't know what to do. There seems to be no Plan B at all. Substitutions are almost always far too late, very predictable and very unimaginative. And what was the sense in throwing Polworth in at the deep-end like that? He was like a fish out of water and was kept on the field for 72 minutes - it was 72 minutes too long. There's no rules against a half-time change, or even a first half change (the French are big on this apparently) and this was a prime example of when one was needed. And what does it say to Greenhalgh who was superb last week, when he doesn't get a single minute, while Nick Ross was poor away from home on the wing yet again? There's no good saying "it was a blip", "they were better than us" and other such cliches , when we've been poor away for four consecutive games now and the tactics have been identical essentially every time. It wasn't "a blip", it was another consecutive bad away performance. But what do we do away from home? With no real Andrew Shinnie character in the squad this year and particularly since Vincent's injury, would a switch to a 4-1-2-2-1/4-3-3 set-up make a difference? We could go back to soaking up the pressure and then hitting teams on the break with Foran sat in-front of the defence, Draper and someone else (possibly Ross who's always been better in the middle IMO) in the middle and then Doran on one wing and then Greenhalgh or Watkins on the other side, rotating throughout the game, attacking teams out wide? With the players we have available, it could be a better set-up than the all too predictable 4-2-3-1.

Ha ha Fraz! Maybe I'm an old fashioned parent that believes 8 year old should be supervised?

Apparently he was so upset about the flag he had to get to his mum as quickly as possible for a cuddle.

Just seen the highlights, message for Terry n Mo, take the lead football boots away from the players, they don't work. Devine is PYSH at RB, what was TB thinking about!

Fixed it for you!

We also need people shooting from distance more often. A bit like this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_ebedded&v=zh-2eGezFeI#t=71

One bad result in a fantastic start to season. Let's try and stay positive and move on. Perth for some reason has been an unhappy hunting ground for four or five seasons for us.

Thank feck I had time for a few there beforehand!
