    Did anyone on here go to the night with Oakley & Imrie? If so how was it? 

    Brilliant night. Really enjoyed it. Dougie his usual candid self. Think big George was in shock a lot of the time with Tam Cowans questions and patter.

     

  2. Brilliant night. Thoroughly enjoyed it. 

    Dougie speaks so well and I don't think he gets the credit he deserves for his knowledge of the game. Big George I think was in shock for most of the evening. Cowan was great.

    Perfect set of results for us and limits the impact of Tuesday's defeat - a game in hand back over everyone below us apart from Airdrie.

    Beat me to it. 

    Very favourable set of results.

    Leaving all of the above aside,  the worst and craziest stewarding decision I have ever witnessed was the day two male stewards arrived and spoke to a regular fan standing beside me.

    To be fair, the two stewards were visibly embarrassed and apologetic as they told the guy they'd been instructed by their supervisor to tell him to remove his yellow North Face jacket because he may have been mistaken as being a steward by other fans.

    When he protested pointing that it was cold, they told him to turn it inside out! 

    Then the following conversation ensued.

    But it's been raining and the outer side is wet, he said. Well we've been told to put you out if you refuse, but if you take it off then put it back on once we walk away that'll be ok.

    So that's what happened and nothing more was said.

    I have no Idea if it's the same stewarding company or personel that's currently involved or not, but the two stewards referred to the person making the decision as SHE.

     

    What ever happened to discretion?

    That's embarrassing.

    No Mullen or Oakley, MacDonald back after vanishing it seems. Good to see Muirhead back he loves a goal up there. 

     

     

    Mullen and Oakley missing is a big disappointment although getting Muirhead and Wilson back is great news. Be interesting to see how the defence does with MacDonald in the team.

    Aye Millens boy would be a good shout decent right back and experienced at this level. 

    In regards to Quitongo personally I wouldn't be extending his contract. He has barely played the past few seasons due to injury and even though it was a good ball on Saturday more often than not he makes the wrong choice, yes pace and power he ticks the boxes but end product isn't there for me. 

     

    Last season Jai wasn't far off an ever present.

    Andy Millens boy told her can leave raith in summer after falling out with manager. Wonder if we will see him as our new rightback next season. 

    I've always liked him. He's a good player and a bit of a dick. Get him signed.

    A massive win.

    The tone for Airdrie’s performance was set by Taylor-Sinclair's hideous challenge on Crawford inside the first 5 minutes. The elbow only came up after the ball was already gone, it was an obviously deliberate attempt to elbow an opponent in the head in midair, it was as dangerous a challenge as you'll see on a football pitch and it was utterly negligent refereeing to only book him. They knew then they would get away with murder and carried on attempting it for the rest of the game.

    You could see how fired up we were to overcome their thuggery and it was a tremendous delivery from Quitongo for the first. With the laughter at how far offside Garrity looked to be for the second at the time (turns out he wasn't) there wasn't enough focus on how good a finish it was, an exceptional strike.

    When you've raced into a two goal lead that early you want the sting taken out the game rather than continuing to go at a million miles an hour and leaving huge gaps yourselves that can let the opposition back into the game, we did that well but as the half wore on I thought we got a bit too flat and were allowing them a bit too much room in midfield, for all that we still didn't look in much danger from open play.

    Second half we looked right back in control early on and should have had it buried between Quitongo's header off the bar and the one cleared off the line from a corner, but we went noticeably downhill after the subs. That's not to say the subs were the wrong decision, with the way the referee had lost control of the game getting players on bookings off was definitely the right thing to do, but both Waters and Broadfoot had a pretty terrible time of it and they started getting some joy down that side.

    Where they really took control of the game was in us losing Oakley as an outball, once again Taylor-Sinclair should have been off for the way he deliberately went after him and elbowed him off the park. He knew he was getting away with it and kept at it until he inevitably injured him. Garrity did what he could moved through the middle but he was breathing out his arse himself by that point with the running he'd done and it left them knowing they could pin us back.

    A poor goal to lose, not sure who it was that lost their man, but we saw it out without another clear cut chance coming their way despite the additional 90 minutes of injury time. Would have been robbery if we'd dropped points there.

    Cammy Blues by the way, what a performance. A lot of people praising Power and rightly so, he was excellent in possession, but the ground Blues covered defensively was ridiculous. Feels like every week lately you come away thinking that might have been his best game in a Morton shirt, he's in fantastic form and it's a real testament to his performance that the midfield still looked so good despite missing Wilson.

    That's a great point re Blues. I think he's an easy target for the knicker wetters and boo boys a lot of the time but he's been very good recently out of position and yesterday he was excellent. I was worried when I saw Wilson was missing but Blues slotted in and had a great game.

    I agree that Oakley going off helped Airdrie. That's the one area that I'd like to see us strengthen. Muirhead is a decent alternative and so is Jai but it would be good to have a like for like replacement. Not as easy as just going out and bringing a player like that in though.

    So many horrible pricks in that Partick side, bunch of neds. Fitzpatrick isn't as good as everyone makes out either. 

    Special shout out to Rocco Diack who I hope falls into obscurity purely for using Brian 'the thug' Graham as his role model. 

    3 points tomorrow to really make the bottle job merchants shite themselves. 

    The boy Diack is a horrible wee cunt and indeed Brian Graham 2.0. Something I like about him ad a player though.

  10. Sounds like I'm in the minority that rated Boyd. Thought he offered loads of energy at the start of the season and grabbed a goal or 2. Can understand him moving on as he's nowhere near the starting 11 but asking to be released once the transfer window has closed is a strange one. Assume he has something else lined up.
