Wasn't even a free kick/penalty imo/ Pav clearly got the ball, then Fernandez did the most ludicrous, delayed dive imaginable. I thought the ref had actually blown to book gim for diving. Crap game, great result. That's two clean sheets on the trot, and we're starting to look a bit more determined. Not sure about young Eric, he seemed to be shoved around much too easily. And Imrie was mince....no idea why he got MOTM

Looks an excellent signing to me. He might well not be match fit, but that just makes me think he'll be even better when he is. Superb in the air, and some of his wee touches are class. He played some superb through balls today, but unfortunately our strikers weren't good enough to deal with them.

I'd go with that. Don't know why people are playing Foran out wide left? Me too. Looks some team that!

I thought he was as bad as he's been all season.

To be fair to DC, I thought Blackies challenge was shocking too, and honestly thought it was going to be red.

He's got some pace on him that's for sure. Looked pretty decent in the short time he got, and some of his touches were good. Could be a real find for the future.

A real dogged performance, and a deserved point....though how Imrie and Rooney managed to miss that sitter is still puzzling. Defence was solid, midfield back to it's tenacious best, which just shows how ridiculous it was to drop Blackie over the last few weeks. That's the best I've seen from Imrie, he must've covered every blade of grass. I can't agree with those who say Barrowman did well, he was absolute mince in my opinion. He just isn't good enough, and hopefully Tel will have seen enough today to realise that. Rooney and young Eric did more in their short time on the pitch than Barrowman did in an hour. Very encouraging start, same again every week now.

The guy is turning out to be our best signing in a looooooooooong time. Absolutely immense today, as he has been from the moment he arrived. I've no idea what his situation is, but we need to get him signed long term. He's the rock in the defence that's been missing since DD left.

Esson Tokely Pav Munro Dunno (not Vigurs though. He was mince when played at LB down at Killie last season) Cowie Black Vigurs Imrie Morais (if fit) or new guy Rooney.

Superb last season, but just hasn't looked interested this year. That's probably been more to do with him being fecked off with tactics, what his role is, where he's supposed to be playing.....our previous manager in other words. Personally I'm pleased he's heading south, and not to one of our rivals. I've no doubt he has the ability to succeed down there, and wouldn't be at all surprised if he went onto bigger and better things.

While I was definitely in the Robbo camp, I'm also very much in the 'Anything's got to be better than Brewster' camp, so I'm cautiously optimistic about Butchers appointment. How about giving the guy a chance? I'm certainly going to. I've watched some of the worst, most depressing, negative, soul destroying, clueless football of my life over the last few months, so anything different is going to be a positive in my eyes. Yes, Butcher's career hasn't been the best, and the guy may well get up some peoples noses, but I'm not really bothered about his past record, or his personality.....if he can get us out of this mess then he'll do for me. We've seen our club come close to disintergration over the last few months, so nows the perfect opportunity to unite and get ourselves out of this mess.

I think it's far from being a two horse race. Six of our games before the split are at home, and other than this Sunday, they're all games we SHOULD take something from. Post split gives us a reasonable shout of 3,4, or even 5 wins, so I'm pretty optimistic that, with a new manager an all that, we can save ourselves this season.

Trouble is we need more than hard work and commitment. Dougie is too inconsistent and he's more often rubbish than he is excellent. He tries hard for sure, but all too often he fails to beat his man, his delivery can be woeful, and his decision making is often costly. I do like him, and his 100% effort, but he still looks too much like a 1st division player than the quality we need at this level. Still a great free kick mind

Forgot all about Cowies. That was a cracker too. Not as good as Imries though!

Esson Tokely Munro Pav Hastings Cowie Vigurs Duncan Imrie Morais Rooney Did I miss something with Morais yesterday? Where was he?

That's the first time in ages that I can remember us scoring not once, but twice from setpieces!! In fact, we looked dangerous from most of our corners and freekicks. Maybe Blackie was right then. All this emphasis on fitness over technique has beenn having a negative effect, and just maybe the last week has seen the players actually training with a ball for a change! It looked as though a big weight had been lifted from the players shoulders, and they were actually enjoying it out on pitch. And it was fantastic to see. Just shows eh....get the right man in and we'll soon be out of this mess.

Dougies was certainly the best I've seen (or can remember at least). Any other nominations?

People go on about the theatricals of the foreign contingent at Hearts, but Diver is easily the worst. He goes down if anyone touches him. Not saying it wasn't a penalty, but it was certainly a soft one.

Agree CD. The fight was back today, such a contrast from the dire performance of last week. The players showed they ARE good enough, and with a bit of luck we'd have deservedly got something from today. Despite losing, I feel confident, with the right manager, we can get ourselves out of this mess.

He made a gesture to the linesman after Esson saved the penalty.

I was on the phone to my lad (to ill to go) telling him all about Imrie's goal when they went and fecking scored!!! Absolutely gutted about the result, I thought we deserved a point. Some great stuff played by us, best I've seen for a long time. Esson, Latvian, Tokely, Duncan, Vigurs, and Cowie were all outstanding.

We were wondering in work this morning what salary any prospective ICT manager would be offered.....my guess was 'I haven't got a clue'.

Forget all the fantasy applications like Ardiles, or the big names like Butcher (who's been ***** at every club). I hope the board have the balls to put their personal issues aside, and put our club first. There's one man who the majority of fans want, and that's Robbo. If that's with Bazza, then brilliant, but lets not get personal issues get in the way of what's best for OUR club. Get him in now, if we go down so be it, but if we don't.......
