    plus ca change

    McDonald...idiot.

    Could have been sixth today and with some genuine breathing space. Bad, bad loss.

    From the highlights, to me, that was not a red card offense.
    Arguably not even a yellow. I hope the red is contested.
    See far worse go without even calling foul.

    I do agree that was a bad loss. How on earth is that team in 2nd place?

    The red card is stupid. If McDonald was concentrating he wouldn't have had to lunge in, giving the ref the opportunity. This is after he missed the easiest chance of the game. He was benched last week and sent off this week. He's not helping the team.
    first half we were fine and looked up for it. The big issues were MMs tactics yet again. No excuse for playing Chalmers at left mid, to then bring in the young right back in that position is shocking.
    If he doesn't rate Ainsworth why have him on the bench? He's a lazy tit but he is only one with pace and directed running we were crying out for against 10.
    Least said about the second half the better. Sat in too deep, only surprise was the goals came before the last 5 mins. The team are unfit, too many players not good enough, Clay, Hamel (set pieces were shocking) and Tait were dreadful. MM tactics are poor. Set up to contain rather than to win. He has no plan B. Not sure he's that interested anymore?
    Needs to be some massive changes if we're to get away from this drudgery every week. Next 2 games are massive.

    Yes, his gameplan was to contain Rangers. Well, it hasn't worked in 4 attempts now this season. For long periods yesterday we had no outball and sat too deep with the inevitable consequences.

    McDonald was indeed an idiot - you give wee Golum a chance to even up the numbers and boy will he take it. The ball should've been out the park so we could get our subby on, rather than trying to beat a player on the shy line ! He should be fined for being a dikk IMO.
