    Pitch diabolical but both teams need to deal with that, they did but our powder puff midfield couldn't.

    Dhanda managed to hit a United 'wall' consisting of one player in the first half, astonishing that he even tried to shoot. He should be dropped for the St. Mirren game because he just offers nothing - Fin not much better but at least you get a decent hit free kick or corner.

    Referee poor, but then again aren't they always, and despite one very soft decision to disallow the goal he didn't contribute to us losing today.

    This might be a controversial opinion on here but I think Pressley needs to go in the close season. If you can't put out a team to compete in a derby (three times this season) and can't see glaring problems during play you're simply not up to it.
    We?re you there?

    No, does it matter? Can you only comment and make judgement if you were actually in the ground or can you make comment from seeing the game in much better clarity, from multiple angles and with replays on TV?

    Were you there? If so were you happy with what you saw? What pub did you go to before and after the game? Can you say anything I've written above is wrong? You know, from the perspective of the fan in the ground.

    I was.

    Wasn?t

    Should the goal been disallowed.

    Do you subscribe to Premier Sports, or did you watch it in the pub?

    Don?t go to pubs before game.

    Don?t think Pressley should be sacked.

    The goal can be argued as correctly disallowed but by the same token it seemed harsh given that the type of thing that went on happens at every set piece at every game every week, very difficult to single out one offence among many and give the decision for that one - hence I describe it as a soft decision. There's a rumour that it was disallowed for a hand ball by Koumetio but I haven't had a chance to look spcifically at that yet, certainly didn't see it at the time. I'll watch it on DeeTV later - yes, I subscribe to DeeTV.

    Do I subscribe to Premier Sports? Yes I do but I fail to see the relevance of the question, maybe you could elaborate?

    It's good that you don't go to the pub before the game, alcohol is not good for you and clouds your judgement of what's happening on the field.

    I accept you have a different opinion on the status of Pressley as manager. For the record I don't think he will be sacked but I reserve the right to thnk he should be. I did say my opinion might be controversial.

    I'll be in my usual season ticket seat next season and, despite the very poor showing today, am still hopeful that I'll be watching Premiership football. Not 100% confident after today, just hopeful.

    Dhanda getting a lot of stick, but at least he didn?t hide. Hay, Congreve, Wright were all posted missing. Why we didn?t start with Si is a mystery, and as soon as I read the line up, I had a feeling we would struggle badly.

    McCracken, whilst not at fault with any of the goals, doesn?t inspire confidence, and I wouldn?t be pushing the boat out to sign him next year.

    Also, due to our poor play, we gave them numerous chances to break up play, by taking ages to take long throws into our box.

    The pitch is a disgrace, but we should have adapted our play to suit the conditions.

    We are now on a bad run of form, at the worst time of the season, and if we play like we did yesterday, we won?t get another win.
