    Some men don't have the character or mental fortitude to stand by their own no matter what and be proud. They'll be too busy worrying like fannies that their mag pals will laugh at them, so pathetically, they put the lads down themselves first. The worst kind of fan. Same as the handful who walked out at 0-2. I'm sure they'll be wanting a Wembley ticket and pretending to be super fans when the time comes.

    I'm glad you and your daughter enjoyed the game.

    Home now and am on the bevvy. My lad boxed a belt holder and dominated him. Canny day for him, but the word on him will go round fast. We have been trying to go slow. The lad doesnt know his talent.

    Give me an hour and I will be slavering om again. I am on Jura tonight, AnCnoc gone somehow.

    Looking on the Oatcake, they definitely don't seem to like him at all. Looks like the 5-1 and a few results around then we're flukes that papered over how crap both they both are and how his tactics are clueless.

    I wanted Ekwah off at half time for Pritchard tbh.

    I think he'll develop into a very good player but he's too slow to move the ball and doesn't get up the pit h quick enough.

    When Pritchard came on and went ahead of Neil the chances started clocking up ...

    ... and Pritchard was working much harder at retrieving the ball, as well as putting pressure on their defenders.

    We looked lethargic in the first half especially as Neil wasn't at his best.

    Thought Ekwah was really solid me. Suprised to see him hooked. He was far better than Neil. For me anyway.

    I was amazed (maybe not) at home many people walked out when the 2nd goal went in. Each to their ow of course, but the way this squad has battled and grafted all season I thought they deserved better.
    Just hope none of them of got back in as O9 flicked in the 1st goal

    Agreed, Best player on the pitch was the general consensus around me. Maybe that was generous, but comfortably his best game for us

    Having said that, another game where TM's substitution turned the game so we can't really argue with him

    I thought we were slow on the ball today. Maybe if we moved it quicker we would've more than likely won

    He was running the show for us imo. Neil was poor and should have been subbed first imo.

    My thoughts exactly.

    We had loads of possession but moved it way too slowly.

    I thought it was painful to watch at times.

    Hume was particularly bad, held onto the ball for ages at times.

    I don't think you'll have much chance mate and I'm a massive optimist.

    I've had loads asking me today, some locals.

    Good luck though, you never know.

    Thoughts on the 6000 or so who walked out on 70 mins? Thought it was disgraceful

    Sat in L4 was right behind the shot. Still can't believe it dipped enough to go in. What a brilliant moment in a brilliant season

    Yeah, fair enough but it smacks of childish and petulant behaviour. I think this squad deserved to be applauded off the pitch by 45,000 people today
