I meant overall. We've been on the receiving end of some shocking decisions for years and this season is the first I've heard of us properly calling it out. And doing it frequently.Quote:

McLean was a disgrace today. I thought Johnson should have been stronger with his comments afterwards. Missed our penalty, gave them one that wasn’t and an absolutely disgraceful sending off.
It is poor from Hanlon in that sense.hes an experienced defender and shouldn't be wrong side there. Also, the marking in the second pic is horrendous. Stevenson has lost his man and there is another unmarked coming in.Quote:

Pretty gutted for, that all we stood up to today, we’ve been done by two corners. And at both, we survived a VAR check following the award of both corners as well.Quote:

Massive 4 games coming up for us. Could be sitting in the driving seat for a 3rd place finish, or could see us end up finishing in the bottom 6 come the split. We have got to win the home derby when it arrives. Pleased we are still in the hunt , having just cane through back to back games against the Huns and the soapdodgers.. would be absolutely fantastic if we were to finish 3rd , be the weirdest season ever as well..

Going in to the run of Livi, Rangers and Celtic I’d have snapped your hand off to get out of that 5 points of third (same as we went in to that run of games).Quote:

Like you im not saying i think we will get 3rd , but its all to play for and we have at least given ourselves lots to play for. If ever there was a derby match to go and win for a complete change in mentality at both clubs then the next one is just that. Would be massive for Lee Johnson, and give us some payback from the last couple seasons derby performances.
Thought Johnson got his set up right today and the red card killed it for him. However, thought he maybe made a mistake in bringing Hoppe on out of the three available strikers. And, I might be wrong on this bit, but am I right in thinking that although you can make 5 subs, you can only stop the game three times to do so? Hence why we couldn’t bring Myko or Nisbet on towards the end.
Ben's said for ages that the SFA and SPFL run the game for the benefit of 2 clubs only.Quote:

Going into livi game was expecting we would be c8 points or worse behind Hearts when we got out at this point. Not only have we not lost ground but they are imploding and talking about crisis player meetings.
We have four winnable games coming up before the split including a derby that is now critical. 10 points before the break and we will be very close to 3rd.
Where is jonnyboy's analysis today?
Yeah could have been that as well. But lets not give him the benefit of any doubt. His overall performance screams my theory 😁Quote:

Credit for that. Going down to 10 and a referee determined to make things right after the audacity to give us a pen - It was a fight we couldn't win. His apologetic booking of 'Oh' for removing his shirt said it all to me. Everyone knows its a booking. He knows. Just book him.
Really minor moan here, but for the Celtic 2nd goal in the build up to the corner, Lewis could easily have punted it for a throw. Gives away a corner a bit cheaply and when you’re defending 15 corners, you’re gonna switch off or lose your battle once or twice.
As I say, minor niggle but just annoyed me watching it back
Same. Really annoyed me too. Could easily have been out for a throwQuote:
