Carter Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Celtic should be the only side to be overly concerned about. Thankfully someone managed to take care of them already. Our performances against Rangers are absolutely disgraceful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmorewasgash Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Whats worrying is I expect hibs to beat sheep and if its sevco not us but heres hoping it is (beaton ref or robertson for semi) hibs have habit of beating sevco at hampdump mind you mostly semis.

Both were grim affairs. Would be nice to turn up and not put on an insipid show for once against them. Lucky you missing that 2019 semi.

Rocky jamboa Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Just now, Sir PH said: One of his worst ever decisions was not to go for their throat that day. They had played 120 minutes in scorching conditions in a European final and were dead on their feet. So what does Robbie do? Sits back and barely lays a glove on them. Shameful. It was like we'd played the 120 minutes in Europe! Thought he was going to go for it in the last half hour, then 15 minutes, then in extra time but he didn't. Not sure if he was hoping to take it to pens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Well I'm shocked, Not! At least we will hopefully have Gordon, Halks, Cochrane fit by then to give the squad a big boost. We have to get the league form back on track now and then just go for it in the semi.
