The whole thing is a loser's charter. Lose in one, you drop into the other. Celtic should be out of Europe having lost to Ferencvaros. But no, you get rewarded for losing these days. What a fix. Total crap and not in the spirit of cup football at all.

Hopefully he does play. I think he'll be a standout in that league. Given the number of goals being shipped in the top league by the likes of Southampton, Burnley and West Brom, I remain astounded that none of these teams thought of buying him.

I'll be watching Huddersfield vs N. Forest tonight. Provided McKenna is playing that is.

The player cut off I'd say is Scott Wilson the hun.

It's Gary Mason.

County are not up to much this year, if we play an attacking line up we should win with a bit to spare. I'd like to see us sign a defender as soon as possible. Hoban can't play every game apparently, and we have no decent back up.

Wright should have come on sooner, I would say that. He made a big difference. He is close to being our best creative player so he was kept on the bench for too long. The difference against Burnley was we had GMS, a player capable of tearing them to pieces by himself. We had nobody at that level last night, although Hayes did have a good go at them. They got away with a couple of bad fouls on Hayes whereas they went down at the slightest touch. They just had a bit more nous about them at this level than we had. They were also a level above Burnley.

Gavin Masterton loaned them something like £10m. It would have taken them 100 years of trading to pay it back. Also loaned the huns an astonishing sum of nearer £100m. He should have gone to prison for that nonsense. 'Sir' David Murray should have been sharing a cell with him. Epic fraudsters.

We did try to win.

It was like Burnley in that we came up against a superior opponent is what I said, I wasn’t comparing the two games. We lost 1-0 away from home to a better team, hardly the end of the world. Nobody was greeting like you are after Burnley either. Quite the opposite. The team got high praise. I can’t understand this ferocious criticism.

I thought we played reasonably well but it seems I’m in the minority. They might have equally thought we were there for the taking having sold McKenna.

That’s not relevant. They played them home and away last season and beat them, with fans in the ground. We had a go when we could and might have nicked a draw. It’s a defeat but hardly a terrible one, when the draw was made I’m sure most realistic people expected us to go out.

We played quite well and didn’t get outclassed. To me that’s all we can ask for. Had Hedges buried his good chance we might have won it in extra time. A 6 out of 10 performance and a massive improvement on the Motherwell game. Bear in mind we also sold our best player on the week of the game. Some overreactions I’d say.

I think we played as well as could be expected. Maybe needed to be a bit smarter in the challenges as the ref gave a free kick every time we went near them. No disgrace but perhaps a lesson learned. Similar to Burnley, we just came up against a superior opponent. The Covid stuff was a red herring, they were a quality team and we came up short, just.

No I disagree, have any of the above ever played in the Champions League? No. They are Euro dross. We had an opponent with pedigree, and we did OK. They were hardly dominant. They are selling players for tens of millions. You need to be more realistic.

If we’d played them at home we might have beaten them. If we’d played any of the other Scottish teams opponents we’d have probably won too.

I also disagree. It’s Sporting Lisbon who pay some players £50k a week. We need to be realistic. They are better than us.

It’s the luck of the draw, we always seem to get tough ones these last few years.

I thought we did OK against a decent side.

Aye should have buried that

The ref is a cunt.

More composure on the ball is all we need.

We got by far the toughest game of the 4 Scottish teams so I’m heartened by the performance, I missed the first 10 minutes so we have played quite well in the 35 I’ve seen

We can definitely get an equaliser in the 2nd half if we keep it tight at the back.

What a save that was
