Surprised Arfield didn’t do better there

Probably the worst 40 minutes from us since Livingston away, and then we get a goal out of nothing to get back in it, only for our entire back 4 to go to sleep all at once to allow Liege to retake the lead, only for us to go back up the park and get a very lucky penalty to equalise again.

 

Please let us get to HT now, it’s only a minute.........

[DMAA 3,658]

Penalty. I’d be very annoyed to lose that one, a bit harsh imo but a penalty according to the rules. Get out of jail free card. Just need to put it away now. 

[CammyF 8,123]

Yes - got lucky in my opinion. Blow for halftime ref!

[DMAA 3,658]

No better way to annoy to the tims glued to this game right now than to equalise with a Tavernier penalty at the end of the half

Rates as one of worst 45mins this season, but we are some how, still in this game. Need a much better 2nd half performance.

Looking forward to seeing the analysis on the goals we conceded. Not easy to pinpoint who was to blame for either.  I think a few share the blame for both tbh.

Got away with a very poor 45 minutes.

 

ps.... Bassy, Barisic, Tav, Goldson, Tav

 

Last five goals all scored by defenders !!

Got out of jail there after a very poor performance.

 

Yes, we deserve credit for finding our way back into the game (twice!) but we've simply not turned up, have no shape and lacking any sort of work-rate that has been so familiar this season.

 

Hope the manager is going through a few players whilst a few others are having cold showers. If not, we'll continue to leave far too space in wide areas and be prone to conceding more.

So we made it to HT level at Desmond.

 

Phew!

 

We just were not at the races at all, second all over the pitch, but our mentality and creativity means we can now get goals out of nothing. The new penalty rules have been awesome for us too!

 

What could the score have been if we played well? 
 

I hope we will find out in the second half and confirm our qualification for February European football.
