buster.

Last week was real deal, today was plastic but I'm consoled because if we had needed to win that today, I'm fairly sure we would have.

Like it but, obviously far too generous, next.........

Similar problem to last week but for a very different reason.

What do the following sequence of numbers signify ? 38, 47, 53, 73, 60, 41, 58, 41, 54, 45, 50

Tav would be a bigger miss to our side than Morelos IMO.

Barasic didn't do his chances any good today, looked nervous and didn't really want the ball. Forget today and as you say............onto next season ! The Kilmarnock penalty reminded me a bit of Cooper for Scotland against Southall/Wales.

Take a break from moaning Kilmarnock are doing what they have within their powers We knew what that would be We aren't dealing with it very well Too many of our players aren't at it Had we needed to win this game the team would be different, as would the score The ref is not to blame

Five changes and Kilmarnock's knack for good organisation has made it very difficult to create anything decent. It is what it is, an end of season game with more at stake for Kilmarnock. Just get this 45 minutes over with and go on holiday.

They'd be foolish to consider McCoist as a manager IMO. As a coach yes, but not a manager.

I'd prefer Mrs Polster to get the centre forward gig and be on penalties. Get a look at what she has got underneath the T-shirt.

We will but I'm hoping to see a re-invigorated Barasic bring some creativity to the party.

Oh well Lads did well to get to the final and a bit of fight to get back into it after going 2-3 behind.

We fell apart in the second half after losing set-piece goal. Great equaliser once we had regained composure. Onto extra time

Murty organising the troops at HT against a Newcastle team whose goalkeeper appeared to be time wasting whilst 0-2 down

Great play from McPake to make the second !!! Should have been at Rugby Park today.

McGregor / Morelos What cost their respective indiscipline ? ie. when McGregor gets close to where Morelos is on that measure, then it'll get a stronger reaction. Alfredo got away with one in Ufa, in that the 10 and then 9 man team fought so hard to get through to an eight figure pay day. Bigger picture is we need a team that is all in for next season and that includes being able to trust everyone to pull in the same direction, together.........and for that reason, if he wants to go and/or there is doubt he can learn his lessons quickly.... better for all parties that he leaves, IMO. It's a bast**d because the guy can play and should get better..... but if we get decent money, it's more part of how football is today.

Do we start sending our scouting team to the Masters events ?

It's next up but all games are now Finals and include a trophy presentation.

Wasn't the best move but that goal was more to do the quality of delivery and there was a certain inevitability about it. TBH Motherwell deserved it on their pressure and we couldn't keep a hold of the ball. I'd say that Middleton coming as a sub only highlighted how we missed the game and tactical awareness of Kent that day. Funnily enough that was a day of 3-5-2.

There will always be varying opinions but after this season, I don't think anyone doubts his ability and potential. But this season has also thrown another important factor into the mix, which simply can't be ignored. The priority for most is a winning team and we are on our most consistent run in the top flight since 2011. In other words, currently Morelos isn't getting a game because Defoe deservedly has the shirt and probaly suits more the formation w've been playing. The factor I mentioned was discipline and in Scottish fitbaw, his cards have been marked. This means it will take a really big effort on his part to stop falling for opposition efforts to get him sent off. Thus far, we've heard how he'll look to rid this from his game and to be fair you could see an effort being made but come the big game, he succumbed once again. I put it to you that he is a cracking player but we can't really trust him. Thereafter, does he want to stay or go ? If he wants to stay, I'd be more inclined to give him another chance unless offered relative silly money. If he wants to go, I'd take a reasonable fee and look for a replacement.

His salary at City is probably more than all the defenders at our club combined and he hasn't played more than 17 league games in a season since 2014/15.

Thinking about it, I'd like to see management trying out something different formation wise. With Scott Arfield unavailable, I think the current formation loses something They must come up with loads of variations that never get tested in competitive games. What about a 3-5-2 again? Fod Flanagan - Goldson - Worrell Polster - Youth - Davis - Kamara - Barasic Defoe - Mebude Subs to include Mrs Polster

Yes, but let's give the management team and players some leeway today, they deserve it. It's the one and only game of a 60 odd game campaign I'd say that. Give some youngsters a deserved chance and not just 10 minutes.

Effectively, the season ended last week for us. Team will be different today, no real pressure and Kilmarnock will probably be up for it. Resultwise, anything could happen and I won't be too bothered either way. I would like to see a couple of the youngsters get their chance, given opportunities to throw them in are so few and far between. It'd be good to get a fully fit Dorrans back for next season but it'll be a pleasant surprise to me if he's able to play regularly at a decent pace.

Final will be a repeat of last year....Rangers v Newcastle Utd
