In the past I’ve come away from cup exits against top flight teams feeling angry because of heinous referring, bad luck or satanic cheating by the opposition. Last night I just felt deflated, yet proud of the performance. Whilst we matched Hearts, I felt that we didn’t really trouble them much except for a brief spell in each half. It was hard to argue with the result.
The goal was avoidable but it’s hard to lay blame. The players were toiling and we’ll never know what might have happened if the subs had gotten the chance to come on before they scored. I feel that extra time would have drained us and maybe have seen a harsher scoreline in the end.
Good atmosphere, aside from a few numpties. Great to see the place full and jumping again.
Really hope we can start scoring again and keep our push for the playoffs.
