Hopefully the bad decision making will somehow transform into determination on the pitch at our next game. Well done to all the travelling fans. It sounds like a horror ground to visit, but I'm sure your support and all your comments about the refereeing will be of some consolation to the manager and team. It is good for them to know that the fans are backing them and don't just think that they are being sore losers. Dust yourselves down boys and get back out there being the titanium team that we know you are.

Back to winning today line up and final score.

According to two people who were there, yes. The penalty was given as a corner by the linesman and there was a foul in the lead up to the second. However, I’m also told that if we’d taken our chances in the first half that would all be irrelevant. Whilst I wanted a win and a money spinning game next, this may prove a blessing given our thin squad, as we can focus on picking up points in the league, which has to be our priority.

Shame to be out, but I was glad to see that the rubbish sideways, plodding stuff has gone. Longstaff looked good, as did Robbie Thompson. Nolan did well, too, in the first half at least. I was disappointed to see Billy have a right go at Robbie when Billy’s attempted pass sailed out. So what if Robbie did “point” where he wanted it; the ball was poor. Mistakes happen - as per Billy’s pass! - but there’s no need for the rage and finger-pointing. Hope his coaching style is different. Penalty looked soft. Watched the Cove lad’s vlog, and it could have been one for VAR. But ref was keen to give it, and just as keen to give what looked an equally soft free kick just outside the box.

Cove Bay. There’s actually a Barrett Homes development called Allan Park.

We were there - terrible ground to watch a game and zero atmosphere. Game was fast and furious-you appreciate that when your leaning on the lineside railing Plastic pitch doesnt help either. Match officials all VERY poor. linesman very petty/childish in getting manager booked for a simple question( may have included a swear but he's exasperated ) overall a poor game where we didn't take our chances and they got a very soft penalty -their second goal didn't mean anything -we had to go for the equaliser.

Being relegated the thing that has surprised me most is the poor standard of refereeing in L1. Today's ref took the biscuit 2nd half though. At one point every tackle got penalised. Penalty looked a joke. The players reaction was telling as to a man they were furious. Lino had flagged a corner too. Did anyone else notice Devine getting a red after the match when he challenged ref again? Not mentioned by anyone I could see but I saw red card flashed and Danny walk off You'd almost think ref didn't fancy extra time.........

Unlucky, but never mind boys, we love the Scottish Cup, but the league is definitely priority. Your manager has confidence in you, and so do we. Onwards and up that table at the speed of sound.
