I don't do Facebook myself, can't be wasting any of my time with the absolute drivel that gets spouted on there. I have to read EF instead to get my daily intake of pishtalk 🤣

Ultimately, you aren't going to win many games if you concede 2/3 goals a game!
Nope.
We could easily be on 12 points and still in the cup if we weren't gifting goals to the opposition.
Our keeper is a great shopstopper as he showed on a few occasions yesterday but I get the fear when crosses go in our box and all our great work going forward is being undone by defensive sloppiness.......so frustrating. Hibs did very little to earn 3 goals.
I dont think you can blame everything on the keeper. Was he at fault for the goals yesterday? Yes, is he to blame for us being out of the cup? No. Yesterday is the first time it's really been his fault,but on the balance of play and all things being fair he kept us in the game several times too. If he was perfect he'd not be playing for us would he? Also lets not forget the blatant cheatery from the officials, without which we would have won anyway. Also worth noting that Luca was a good save away from a hat trick that probably would have won us the game despite everything else.
Last season folk were moaning about our shyte style of play despite us getting plenty of clean sheets and finishing 4th. Some people will just never be happy
I think we can only judge domestically properly on the last two games imo
We'd have all taken 4 points from Dens and Easter rd
Falkirk away was 2.5 days after Luxembourg
Hearts home 2.5 days after Austria
Killie away 2.5 days after extra time penalties and disappointment and in very hot temperatures
We were also unable to properly rotate, tired minds and bodies plays a part for me
So yes for me Dundee and Hibs are the first time we can start to judge it domestically and so far, very good but could have been great without the errors
At least after the Sheep game we might be finally able to settle down in to a normal type of fixture schedule. Incredibly by the time we play them it will be in to the final week of September and up to that point we will have had just a single league game at Tannadice. Just doesn?t seem right somehow does it? Additionally we will not have played a single game home or away at 1500 on a Saturday until we then play Killie a few days later. Madness.
Even more concerning was the straight red card, which Utd have to appeal if they want it overturned. Therefore Beaton must have deemed it deliberate, as the ref didn?t see it unless he just got totally confused in the heat of the moment. It should have been at worst 2nd yellow. United shouldn?t have to appeal, this is where Collum and his SFA goons have to step in and say, ?fair cop? not a straight red or whatever and negate the expense of an appeal. A definite clear and obvious error, on filed cards can be rescinded or reduced. Funny how Beaton didn?t chose to correct the ref in this case.
The whole unnatural position thing has just tied the game up in knots, as most actions involved in running, jumping, etc. involved arm movement for balance, leverage.
I think, for the most part, it's different folk moaning about our defending this season and our style of play last.
So far this season I'm getting vibes of our team under McNamara. Loads of great games to watch but couldn't defend worth a phuck culminating in losing a cup final terribly with an incredibly talented bunch of players.
Luca in the BBC team of the week,no place for Camara though which is b*llocks. They didn't even bother with one at all for the last round of games due to the fact that the Glasgow derby was utterly shyte and they wouldn't be able to pick any of their favourites. BBC can f*ck off along with premier sports.
