    Same old sh.te

    Yes we won yes we are in Europe yes we can finish second but FFS don't tell me we have played entertaining football .I can only say sorry about going on and on about our tactical genius that is SM ,anybody from the East stand could give the half time talk tonight after watching Saturdays debacle "okay Suttie you play wide left of even left back don't FFS try to score another goal and try not to cross the half way line don't let me catch anybody having a shot on goal" .Some might say that's a bit extreme but if by any chance you think you have been entertained over the last to games then please see a shrink .If we play like that on Sunday then we could get hammered I will go to Pittodrie more in hope than expectation

    re: Same old sh.te

    It might not be popular belief but I actually agree with you. I honestly cannot fathom what our tactics were last night and on Saturday in the second half. We got away with it big time last night but we have squandered enough leads this season, indeed three whilst 2-0 up to show that we just cannot defend a lead effectively. Why then McCall went for the hang on tactics in both games is baffling. We got away with it big time last night because we did not deserve to win that game, especially based on the second half performance and yet again we looked like we were blowing out our @rses after 60 minutes. That's something that's become a common trait under McCall. Sign of fitness issues perhaps? I don't know for definite as I don't see how the players train but I reckon that's a sign of a poorly coached side.

    All in all though it's the business end of the season and we needed three points and got them but that doesn't stop questions being asked about our performances.

    Who has been saying we play entertaining football?

    Valid points but the time for addressing them is the close season I guess.

    While I agree with many of the negative points made I think we need some perspective. With our budget we could well be in the relegation fight. After losing many good players over summer we are in contention for second place. A tremendous result for the team and management. Also with the amount of goals scored(and lost) we have been tremendously entertained even if most of the time we are on the edge of our seats.
    Well done for once again qualifying for Europe!

    I congratulate motherwell for finishing 3rd at worst and for still being in hunt for 2nd going into last game but the last 2 second halfs have been like watching a horror movie .I have no idea why our manager seems to think that teams we outplay in 1st halves are all of a sudden far superior than us when they run out for second half and we have to defend defend defend. He has got away it last 2 games and can argue he was right and at this time of the season its only the result that matters. Dont agree we have been crap all season as table never lies its just the way we have played the 2nd half previous 2 games that has baffled me and going to aberdeen on sunday will be totally different as pressure on both teams and to be honest more on them as nobody expects us to win. I just hope we dont score early and sit back would prefer to go into last 20 mins level and hopefully get a winner as dont think i could handle another backs to the wall 2nd half.
