Utterly inevitable

What a stupid statement. We didn't get the result, so his master plan was a complete and utter failure. If you think he deserved 'plaudits' for that garbage, pour your self another strong drink and crack on. It was dross. End of.

You fail to read the word "if" there, aye?

times like this thoughts of players being on the take for throwing a game away come to mind.

Ok if, our tactics were not so negative, if we had a go in the first half, if we had not played Chalmers, Clay and Hamel, if we had tried to win a cup tie, if our manager wasn't so utterly predictable, if his signings were not so poor, if we hadn't given McManus another contract, if we had a club that wanted to achieve something other than make some money....enough ifs?
One more. If we have enough supports that are willing to continue to pay for this garbage?
If we are all ****ing scunnered with this **** every year in the cup?

If a former international defender didn't make a schoolboy error in the 89th minute we'd have gotten the draw virtually everyone would have taken at the start.

Not saying we don't have a tonne of stuff to regret or seriously consider going ahead but suggesting we were anything other than close to getting a decent result yesterday - regardless of how we got there - is blatantly nonsense.

and what difference does being close to getting a result make ... what do all of the following have in common


unlucky we lost
we were close to getting a result
brave losers
if xxxx hadnt done that we wouldnt have lost
if player xxxx had been playing we might not have lost



the common thread is LOSERS again it doesnt matter a fpuck how we consistently achieve these fpuck ups

If you're discussing the WORST TACTICS EVER and McGhee being a DISGRACEFUL BOTTLING CELTIC MERCHANT or whatever, the fact his tactics came within six minutes and one hideous individual mistake of a positive result seems pretty relevant context to the conversation.

As I said earlier, we lost so McGhee fully deserves to be questioned and I also think we'd have been better fared by being a bit bolder a bit sooner in the game...but a bit of perspective for those carrying the pitchforks and burning torches doesn't go amiss either.
