javeajag Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Amazing 3 points …. Very poor performance and a lucky win as good as we were last we were poor today with zero pressing. And closing down the only thing worse than us was the referee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dl1971 Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 How to win ugly. We were poor 2nd half. As for Graham utter stupidity and not for the first time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partickthedog Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 No doubt lots to criticise but a cracking old fashioned game with lots of atmosphere. With a few key players missing for various reasons, the 11 left at the end did dig it out. Commendation to Aero for telescopic leg reaching all sorts of crosses. Some sublime skills from Williams. However the highlight has to be Fitzpatrick’s rabona. When Graham was sent off I was concerned that there might be a rule requiring us to withdraw one of the players on the pitch! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Peebles Tackle Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Deserved the win, just. Looked good going forward, sadly a bit ropey in defence. Morton very poor - will be lucky not to go down. Ref had a shocker, but seem to say that every week whether we win, lose or draw. General standard is terrible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Graham has been a very good signing for us, but for such an experienced player he has done some really stupid things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAGSMAN1968 Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Just back, should have been out of sight by half time. Morton are a horrible team - no surprise as who their manager is!!

Milne off early, McInroy at ht and Graham subbed at 1-1, and none of them ostensibly due to injury? Perhaps there's some kind of bug going round? Anyway, objective achieved after a fashion. Two smashing finishes for the goals, but we didn't really trouble McDonald much beyond those efforts. Well done to the players and the management team for digging out the win.

Winter of '63 Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 A welcome 3 points but we were barely better than a grim Morton side...they were the poorest team I saw last season but remarkably we only finished above them on goal difference...this season they look doomed while we are clear in third without being particularly good. Only Lawless & Fitzpatrick create chances...Bannigan & Stanway did all right but don't go past players or make many incisive passes...McInroy scored a good goal and had another well-struck shot but doesn't get involved enough...it was a clever finish from Alston but he failed to score from two other chances and otherwise did little. I didn't get a clear view of the apparent handball immediately before the penalty or the rumpus at the substitution and while the ref was a real source of frustration throughout Graham was really stupid to get red-carded.

King Kenny Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 I don't agree that we were dreadful. We had a couple of injuries requiring a reshuffle and some players out of position. Morton came looking for a scrap and for too long we got involved. The game was constantly being stopped by the ref and our players were getting caught up in the atmosphere. It was only when we got the ball down and started to pass round Morton did we get our rewards. Morton deserved nothing and got nothing, a dreadful team. We can play much better and will again but we did enough to win that. I've been critical of Fitzpatrick but he was excellent today, can't be easy to constantly get hacked to bits running at full speed. I thought Wasiri was fine on the left and McMillan did well considering how long he's been out. I thought the red for Graham was a bit OTT, yes he gestured to the fans but was it really any worse than what he was getting from the stands? A booking would have sufficed. His behaviour after that though wasn't acceptable. He should have headed down the tunnel instead of offering fans to come down. He then proceeded to head down the stairs (I'm assuming to try and get up to the stand and was stopped by Mitchell who had run back from the bench). While coming back out to celebrate in front of the Morton fans is great sh*thousery and very funny, he might get in some bother for that. From what I saw of Adeloye when he came on, we'll definitely miss Graham when suspended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Stating the obvious but football games are always a combination of performance and result. Sometimes both are good, other times they are both bad and sometimes one can be good with the other being bad. The most important of the two is always result and today it was good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpj Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Good old BBC report says we apparently played 'with 10 men for the final 15 minutes'. Report even mentions that Graham was sent off after being substituted. Can't remember the last time match report didn't contain some sort of obvious mistake. Very poor. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67318696 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the hard earned 3 points and move on.. We appeared to sit back deliberately, presumably to play for the second balls. Perhaps it's just as well as yon ref was going yellow card crazy. I'd sum up today's game as one where the opposition dragged us down to their level. These things happen to the best of teams. Fortunately we still had enough in the tank to grab a winner. Fitzpatrick the obvious star man but Stanway, Bannigan & Muirhead all did the "behind the scenes" stuff well. And Wasiri's stock continues to rise. Handled having to change flanks in his stride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenski Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Wasn't there today but pleased to read positive comments about Wasiri. I've said it before, but he looks like a player who needs confidence to play his best, and we need more competition at the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very good, particularly for adapting to play on the left when Milne went off in the first half. Don’t think he did anything wrong at all- very solid. Could be an excellent utility player for us, being able to fill in anywhere in the back four. Possibly could even force his way as first choice centre back, who knows?

I have already said i wasn't at the game today so cannot comment on our performance. Morton are bottom of the league, but imo it was never going to be an easy game. Although they have lost their last 2 league games i felt they were unlucky against Dunfermline last week not to get at least a draw. They are in a battle at the bottom of the league and are in danger of being cut adrift. Teams in that position never make games easy. We are now 5 points ahead of Airdrie and 8 points ahead of Dunfermline and Ayr, although Dunfermline have 2 games in hand. So our next home league game against Airdrie is another big game. Win that and we are consolidating our top 4 place. Brian Graham is the sort of player that you either love or loathe. If he is playing for your team, you love him but if not, you loathe him. I don't know how long his suspension will be but i just hope it is not a costly one for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
