Thistle Cup Thread

[Whitfieldarab]

It was a cup game....the weather was shocking...the pitch was horrendous....we didn't play to our best..and could have easily lost! But we didn't....we are in the next round and get to go again! Wins are what builds confidence and that is what we are needing. We avoided a banana skin and have another scottish cup game to look forward to....this game was a free hit!

That's an undisputed FACT from an excellent poster. FACT

Ffs, this is a decent thistle side, had kept 8 cleansheets in last ten At home before today and lost 1 of their last 15... They also have played just 4 games since mid January including today, meanwhile we've played 8 in the same period, 4 midweek/weekends in a row, it was away from home, on a shyte pitch, against a motivated side with plenty in the tank

We've done enough to get through, we've actually negotiated two very difficult away ties to make the quarters just like 2010, credit where its due

Just kept our 4th cleansheet on the bounce (would be five but for Celtics late winner), so 6 hours without conceding (3 of these away against battling motivated oppo), and that's without Mulgrew, winning is entertaining to me, getting through to next round is too

I see nothing to be unhappy about at all after the last few days work

Did they play us off the park or not?
We were the premier league team today and they were much better than us. Once again we had players afraid to play football, we had no plan to get our best players on the ball and we had players with less ability than the opposition.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere our fans made today but it doesn’t cover up the fact that our team is poor and some of our fans are arseholes.

A cup tie doesn't require great futba, just a result, which we got. I'm interested to know what arsehole behaviour went on? Can you say an example? Not trying to wind you up btw, just interested to know what stuff went on.

I two thousand percent agree with every word shedka. I feel dirty agreeing with you but what you said is spot on. Our defence is f"#$ing solid which means even if we are pish at creating the worst we'll get is a 0-0. No great entertainment wise but I'd rather that than gung-ho attack attack and get pumped 4-2 loads.

Good again Shedka.

FFS, more worried about the performance than the result on a day when we had yet another away tie in the Scottish Cup, the pitch was a nightmare, and against a team in good form.

The fan behaviour is interesting though and it's really something I've personally never experienced before. What were they up to, specifically, that you didn't like?

[bannon_ftd_83]

Pitch was an absolute disgrace and an embarrassment to Scottish football. The boy Tiffony was no bad for them. Another clean sheet but something missing today i felt, a player like that Tiffony probably. Delighted to be in the next round and another clean sheet, job done.

Well the EBC agree with Spike.

A win but that's all I can say , Motherwell was a step forward , performance wise , yesterday was back to Dundee , St Johnstone level

That was some strike by Harkes all the same.
