    I agree, Rigg isn't a winger obviously but when cycling the ball down the right he can look for the inside pass or for the overlap from Hume, it can still work it's just a different kind of play. I feel like the modern trends in football are confusing for many.

    well you don’t get a penalty then in that instance. If Roberts wasn’t powderpuff we’d be 0-1 up.

    I swear you watch a different match. Watson has been a thorn on their side, won a penalty had plenty of decent play including that run into the box and ball to Wilson that was a decent chance! And you type that ****e!

    Watson has been class tonight though, so not sure why he would be taken off at HT.

    Now if he doesn't turn up in the 2nd half then bring him off but he's carrying us up the pitch and causing them problems

    I expect gilchrist to move into CB in the 2nd so be interesting how Watson gets on against a new fullback

    The ref has been absolutely accurate. It's not his fault that we blasted the ball square and put out centre back into a final ditch challenge.

    Both fair decisions. The second yellow, he could have easily dodged. Surprised he gave it.

    Lads seriously we’re allowed to criticise O’Nien.

    he’s been good tonight but the pass for the red card was horrendous. It’s okay to say that without loads of people coming in and defending him.

    So what if Mepham is trying to play the ball? Still a red?

    I'd be bringing Alese on, move O9 into the middle with Ballard but keep a back 4.

    Roberts or Rigg to make way. I'd actually be tempted to bring them both off and bring Mayenda on to play wide right.

    Not 100% on how long it's been in but yeah that's the rule. It's because a pen is nearly always a goal a free kick is rarely a goal.

    I think it's bollocks myself!

    The Souttar red was an absolute brainfart and a gift for us to be honest, he just had to see out a few minutes and they would have been steaming out of the tunnel for this half.

    Mate well said.

    It's unbelievable. The same people just like posts who criticise the people who blamed 09. It's all the time. Then it's the one or two.

    It's proper weak behaviour. Some need to get a grip and judge things objectively.

    We've been brilliant in that first half. Played without fear. Hopefully we'll have a go again and make a statement.

    We have battered them this half, the mighty sheff utd who appear to have morphed into Brazil 1970, but **** let's hang a player who made a mistake
