  3. Stranraer v Partick Thistle

    Just watched the replay of the game.

    (Lack of) opposition notwithstanding, I thought we played very nice possession football the last fifteen minutes and created some nice chances to boot.

    Unlike most of our games so far the team, as a whole, did not look tired at all late in the game.  Maybe a sign that their fitness is coming around.

    Not worth opening a special thread, so will post this here on the theme of League Cup. Hearts "field" (yes, he actually played for 25 minutes-not an unused substitute) an ineligible player against Cove Rangers. They initially obtained 3 points for winning the match, but then had the book thrown at them by the SPFL. Our courageous football masters docked them 2 whole points, but credited them the 3 they already had. Net result, they broke the rules, albeit no doubt unintentionally, but still gained 1 point from the game. I presume that there are no points for Cove. Where is the justice in that?

    Would the outcome have been the same if the transgressor had been Cove Rangers or even Partick Thistle?

    I am sure in the past that wee teams have been thrown out of competitions for similar carelessness. I would not go that far, but a 3-0 win (both in goals and in points) to Cove seems about right to me.

    Is this a Cover up?

    No one to blame but ourselves but My first thoughts when PTD posted this last week were...

    1) They only took 2 points so Hearts could still control their own destiny.

    2) That if Hearts did win both games and get to 9 pts, then we would be the team that gets pumped because of the league's decision.

    Will 9pts get us through?

    Group A we have beat

    Group B we have beat

    Group C ..if Hearts beat ICT, they get one spot.

    Group D very likely takes one spot, unless Brechin can tie Dundee

    Group F. Airdrie get a spot if they beat Hamilton but we can also get spot over Livi if Berwick come back and tie them

    Group G we have  beat..unless Motherwell beats Clyde

    Group H gets a spot if Killie beat Queens Park AND St.Mirren can tack on a couple more against Brechin

    I do think Sammon would be a good signing for anyone in this league, and equally I doubt he would be one of the players Archibald was referring to with his 'not giving a shit' comments.

     

    Agree.

    A wide player who, freakishly, cuts inside and has a shot rather than reflexively take it wide for an aimless cross might be nice. 

    Just a thought.

    (not saying he’ll score from said shot mind you) 

    Does Denis McQuade  have a grandson?
