To be honest, I believe we have played much worse. Motherwell at home and Dundee United first half at home, however, this does not detract from the fact that there appeared to be little cohesion or team spirit on show against a mediocre Hearts side. We seemed totally incapable of conjuring up anything. We can't have suddenly gone from team of the month in December, to worst team in the league two months later. Saturday was the start of an easier run of games for us and we blew it big time. Some if not all of the blame must lie with the manager for tis abysmal form of late. Not just the form on the park, but the bigger picture, just what is going on down at the dumo? Can I add, keep Marius out of this one, he needs the same support he is giving the players who ignore him by not getting the ball to him. Is this poor play, or poor players? There is one more thing he could do, and it is an honourable thing at that. I'm not convinced Rankin is the problem, but the results show we did better when he played, although they also show McGuire to be a good defender...............now, that is where the stats don't add up.

caleymore, you are correct about Imrie, he is "bound to improve", well on Saturdays performance that is his only option. He had a stinker, like many others in the team. Fraser maybe not the best at the first goal, but that apart I thought he was our best performer, along woth Tokely and Marius. Patti was not at his best either, he disappointed me, I was looking for more from him. Lack of pace throughout the team is hurting us. McGuire should be replaced by Proctor when fully fit. Well done to Rory for having the balls to have a shot at goal, his twenty five yarder just rising too high, but at least he gave it a go, albeit the game was well over by then. Really big disappointment. Not sure why Black seems to be the fall guy every week, being subbed before others more deserving of a rest, no wonder he gets frustrated. Yes, it's been a bad two months at the office, is there any light at the end of the tunnel? Bring on the close season.

I like you already

Best we have played in ages, whats the problem.. Tokely, Niculae Fraser Hastings get pass marks, and Rory, who came on very late and at least he had the cheek to shoot at goal albeit just over, sometrhing his more illustrious slot takers would do well to keep in mind. Unbelievably found ourselves 0-2 down, then even more bizarrely found ourselves 0-3 down.....how bizarre......I feel a song coming on. Like everyone else, I felt the urge.....the urge to leave early, but I am a stubborn basturd..........I watched the last minute from the edge. Really disappointing as like the rest I thought this would be the start of a decent run. Bring on next year.

Och, the wind has dropped to just hurricane force now and the rain has also wilted back to monsoon condition. Hearts just love those conditions.

Well, I'm not going to look, and I don't do bananas.

Another defeat, but that is hopefully the last of the difficult games for us until the split, the last five are all within our own grasp. I suppose if we are going to lose, then 2-1 away to Celtic is about as good as we could hope for. Encouraging signs towards the end of the game (radio), but something that still needs addressed, too little too late.

good news indeed.

elder boy has already provided a link a few posts ago regarding this chappie.

hmmnn, I notice he is from Chorley, shurely shome coinshidenshe

Talking about Glasgow Apollo I saw Steeleye Span there, the Fairport link being Ashley Hutchings, many moons ago. Amusing little story from that one, well I thought it was hilarious. They were releasing a new album or about to release it, and when they came on stage they said, no we will be playing our new songs, no going back......ho ho ho we all thought, surely they would play the biggie, All around my hat. Concert swinging along still no All around my hat, surely it will happen, crowd start murmering All around my hat, this murmering reaches frenzied chants in between songs. Still no All around my hat. Maddy Prior manages to quell the crowds rantings and announces the next song, but before she gets it out, a wee wag from the rear of the audience shouts out, ALL AROUND MY HAT..........she replied, no , this is a song about a ship..............quck as a flash the wag shouted at the top of his voice, "OK THEN, GIE US ALL AROUND MY SHIP" cue full house laughing their heads off :015: hahaha bonk

Once in a lifetime or stop making sense...............I lub dis band

Always better to have a clean break, although kev, your glasses may well be tinted blue, it was at best a rash tackle, at worst a shocker.

oh christ..........scarlets up early..........................we are in for a difficult night. :029:

Radio watch for me today Mantis, but your summary seems to concur with the views of the commentary team. Oh for a bit of class in front of goal. We seemed to have thousands of corners, well, maybe more than that, but all came to nothing. Surely something to work on there, and free kicks and crosses into the box. Still, one or two positives possibly from the game.
