Jambo in Bathgate Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I’m getting a bit pissed off with opposition Managers coming out and commenting about losing soft goals. Again yesterday Corts comes out and said the same thing. Our first goal may have been soft but their keeper makes an arse of the cross. The other two goals were a thing of beauty. Both passes left the DU defence on their heals. However both Gino and Ellis had a lot of work to do to convert them. Robbie never makes comments about opposing teams. He could have said a lot about Hibs dirty play for instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible goal to concede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not often in your life time we've had European group stage football tied with no chance of going up or down a league position either with a cup final in the bag. How many times has that happened in your life? Every game has some meaning tho, Points, win bonus, confidence, match fitness, fighting for a place in the team etc. Clearly some games are more important or meaningful than others. The cup final is up there. Of course But I was replying to a comment that none of our remaining league games are in any way meaningful. Robbie, the players and the travelling fans clearly saw some meaning in yesterday's game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All about Hibs defence, and the goal being a thunderous shot as an afterthought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some definitely have priority tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero pressure on Cochrane. Terrible goal to concede There's not many goals scored where you can't blame the defence for something (maybe Kingsley's last week?). Utd's 2 goals were brilliantly executed, from one perspective. From a defensive perspective, Haring gets megged and Cochrane sells himself way too cheaply for the first. Likewise for the second, Boyce lets him get a shot away. Two soft goals right there, Tam. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was wrong to say they were not in any way meaningless, as they will always be meaningful to the fans. I meant they were meaningless in terms of where we end up in the league, so there is no need for us to take any risks with players in these games, whereas Rangers could be involved in very meaningful games all the way to the final 🤞 We actually saw an example of the safety first approach yesterday. Robbie said McEneff was ready to play on, but Robbie decided it wasn't worth the risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway as I said it has been clarified as "in no way meaningful as far as our final league position is concerned". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he runs in a straight line he’s not on for a pass. It’s exceptional movement running across the line. Show that to any young aspiring striker and tell them to learn from it.
