What planet is this ref from?

Did anyone else notice the rather OTT reaction of the security guys to the Ayr lads. There was no trouble so chuckin them out seemed well over board

Woah. That was hard to watch. Ball should be checked for any form of life after the battering it got. Can’t really see any shape or great movement but great to get a win.

Far too many long balls. No patience in build up or trying to move them out of position. Early days I know.

This looks like a lack of organisation and people not knowing how the new system is meant to work. If people aren’t 100% sure of what they are meant to do then you get half hearted attempts - Your imagine insecurity and uncertainty are easy to fix on the training ground. Think of allardice last season, winning so much ball in midfield - looked lost on Tuesday. Whatever the system is they need it drilled home sharpish

From what I’ve heard we were hit hard by covid and also track and trace meaning players were out of training for up to 20 days so I can imagine we’re well behind.

Both full backs getting very little in the way of protection. We are completely exposed in the wider areas of midfield. We look like we’re playing 4-2-4 and not very well. We need some solidity against hearts or it’ll be embarrassing

I honestly don’t think we were lacking guile in midfield we just had defenders who decided to try ‘wonder’ passes instead of simple ones and lost possession because of this. Lack of patience.

When we kept with the ball on the deck we looked interesting. We’d do 10/12 passes then someone would lose patience and try a useless chip into ‘space’ ….in a howling gale! Patience !!

I think thats a brilliant signing. We needed cover for a centre half and someone with loads of experience - can you imagine how much Duffy, Harper and Deas (all just about 20/21 years old) as well as Nicolson and Fyffe can learn from him. That's a great looking squad now.

If that is correct I can’t see Harper or MacGregor hanging about for long!

Great to see the likes of Nicolson And Fyffe getting games and keeping clean sheets. These boys will be needed so get them games now - they hardly played any football last year. The coaches know what regulars can do they need to see what everyone else has to offer.

so my boy in the pub was absolutely spot on!

Anyone heard anything about Raith’s Duku joining us . Overheard a conversation in a bar this afternoon. It all went quiet just after half time

pretty sure there's a starting fee agreement for players that have come through the ranks. Have a figure of £90k in my head but could be nonsense...and that's the base line

I see on P&B that Hibs fans expecting to see Dan McKay with them this week. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/7057960/hibs-win-transfer-race-inverness-daniel-mackay/amp/

This reaslly was a season of two halves. You look at the goals of the season at the beginning and we were really hitting form and the performance against QofS on TV was superb. At that stage there's no Carson, Toddy or Dan in the mix atall. Few weeks later its all mixed up and some folk on here and socials are suggestign Dan is absoltuely woeful and should never be near the team. Roll on a few weeks and he's a world beater. Brad McKay went from donkey to stalwart. Really tough one this season. Where are we in the mix for MoM stats from this site? That might give us a better balance?

Well this time 6 weeks ago (or so) we were worried about relegation. There’s a good team spirit there. On reflection we’ve now had three of the youth academy embedded into the team, gained Allardice (ok not his best today) Deas and Duffy look like they can be decent at this level, Danny Devine looks like he could become a leader, and Toddy looks like he could be a target man. There’s times when you see neat pockets of play. More positives than negatives

Who is meant to be helping defend down our left? It’s wide open again and again.

Poor Harper he is getting zero protection

Wow we are being picked off so easily. Hearts looking dangerous every time they go forward.

Jeez that indirect free kick was bizarre - no wonder Morton guys are spewing! After he heads it surely it’s not a direct pass back? However Great finished from Allardice - there’s not a lot of space there. Need a third to finish it off. These commentators are really good. I stand corrected on the pass back rule!

I was in tears of laughter at the boy. 'Jings almechty' being my favourite. I loved the no nonsense approach to commentating he took and the complete disregard for the oppostion team, not in the slightest bit bothered by trying to be neutral.

I love this commentator. He make IM Jolly sound like Billy Graham! He has absolutely no interest in the opposition which is fine! His idea of what constitutes a free kick is very interesting. Weather looks and sounds awful. We look a lot better when we don’t just hoof it up front - have to move them about to get some space. It’ll come.

We looked knackered and I’m not surprised. Great effort by everyone of them. Perhaps not the silkiest of games but all that mattered was 3 points. Delighted for Dan MackAy to score tonight.
