Not out of jail for me. Beat this shower 6-0 last time out, so this wasn't good enough in my opinion. Robbie's obsession with Pawlett and his absolute need to get Connolly back in the team has cost us. Just leave a winning team alone ffs.

couldn't agree more!!  Also if  i never see Sow in a united jersey again I'm sure i'll be able to cope!

 
Ah I see Sow is in for stick again despite being our best player in the first half. Having a go for the sake of having a go.

we were clearly watching different game or have a very different viewpoint.  Everyone is entitle to their opinion and in mine Sow adds nothing and I would have preferred Aperre up front with Sporle out wide.

So not having a go for having a go just expressing my point of view.

 
Sow best player on the park for us in the first half and it wasn’t even close.

Thought Mochrie did well when he came on.  Hope he gets some more appearances between now and the end of the season.

Connolly’s played last 3 so weird to bring him in to, think it more bring Reynolds back in that I would question. 

Morton should be embarrassed the way they played today, never came to play football at all, every man behind ball, such a tough watch, dare I say a player who would have helped us massively today would have been Mr Stanton.

Shut the fuck up ffs . Today wasnt ideal far from it! But after the 6-0 game what did you expect them to do? Up to us to beat them. We wernt good enough today. Take the draw all day long.

That was pish poor but it’s always very hard to break down a team who sit with 10 men behind the ball.  Time wasting from the minute they scored.  Fuck them.

 Yip they just sat in but we were masters of that due to us constantly bringing the ball out from the back instead of passing or even going long at times.

The cross in for their goal was a cracker but we never gave up a got a fully deserved point.

Thought that Sproule was decent again when he came on.

Ivan?
 

  he's not quite as quick but short sleeves today and gets wired in. An option from the bench until we sign another winger.

Reading through this thread, and other online outlets it seems that the overall feeling is frustration about the game.

I ws very surprised at the line up for a start, if anything I would have expected the team that finished last Sunday to start.  Watson being dropped, unless he maybe had a knock, was a joke.

The first 10 minutes or so were great to watch, direct, attacking, fluid and with purpose.  In the few minutes before they scored, you could see though that we had become a bit relaxed and took our foot off the gas.  I cant remember exactly how they worked the ball down the wing to cross, but as soon as the ball was in the air you could see is was landing on the boy Orsi's head.

From then it was a total borefest of a game but you've got to give credit to Morton (in a tactical sense) that they done exactly what they were aiming to do.  And the longer they could keep it 1-0, frustration would kick in on and off the park and it did.  For the boys Booing at half time, get to phuck honestly.  Morton would have been lapping that shite up.

Anyone know if Harkes took a knock or if the change was tactical? 

Second half was 45 minutes of the same side to side, back across, up the wing then either poor cross or try to pass through 4 Morton players.  McMullan was poor, but to be effective he needs room to play with and he just wasn't getting any space to try and run into.  I actually felt that Mochrie's introduction was exactly what we needed and know what, the young lad was the best player on the park once he was on.

Obviously we got the goal in the end and bar, what looked to me, a unbelievable save from McMullans shot - we'd be all having a slightly different argument today.  It was a horrible, horrible game of football but you simply cannot play football against a team set up the way Morton were.  Especially not with players at our level.  Some of the reactions I've seen online are phucking Celtic/Liverpool esque...yes we have a obvious issues with the squad and it wasn't bonny but you'd think we'd been royally pumped the way some boys are acting.  Better get used to it, cause any team coming to Tannadice now that's floating about the bottom half will be playing exactly the same game.

I thought Sow done enough first half and was unlucky with the offside.  I've not seen it since, but my instict was he was On.  Powers is a player but you can see he's not quite 100% and he struggled the longer the game went on.  Pawlett is done...bags of ability but his body just isn't up to it and he is never a CM in a million years...didna get that move at all.

The Ref had an absolute nightmare as well.  It's easy with my tangerine tints on but there were at least 2 clear handballs in the box...one in the first half at a corner, the morton boy phucking travelled wi the ball under his arm.  A couple of corners/throws went against us as well.  Moving forward, I think the players need to be at the Ref early about time wasting as well...how many times in the last few years have we seen opposition keepers at it, only to get collared at the end of the game.  Why the phuck only book the keeper for time wasting with 5 minutes to go when he's been doing it since 5 mintues in?  Clutching at straws I know but it was just one of those days where we were getting nothing and had to make our own luck. 

We've not won this league yet and a few more games like yesterday where we don't score and that gives ICT/Ayr a wee boost and tests the mentality and strength of our players.

On another note, was good to see everyone join in with the applause..the Morton fans did, and I noticed the coaching staff did also. 
 

Goals are up.

Agree. Feal really sorry for Watson.
