    Green specs aside that was surely a pen on Haksa.

    Astonished how quickly even the commentators dismissed it.

    Might be a daft question but are they practising on plastic pitches at lennoxtown in the week leading up to a game like this? Some of the passing was horrendous, in the first half especially. Balls and touches were very weak or over powered leading to out of play and dispossetion.

    It's criminal..

    Goes to ground. Makes contact with Haksabanovic as he slides in to his foot. Gets zero of the ball..

    No penalty though. Lol..

    1 down 3 or maybe even 4 competitions to go.
    Sack Rodger’s and Lawwell if they don’t finish at least 3rd in CL GS.
    Should never have brought Lawwell or Rodger’s back.
    Only way will change my mind is if we get to at least last 8 in CL or Final of EL.

    This sounds like one of those ‘fine margins’ situations where the approach of the ‘we have to be better to account for the referees’ brigade and who live by Jock Steins quote like a mantra is shown to just not work any more…

    We seem to be refereed differently… and VAR is being used to help with that … if we play well and score it doesn’t make any difference…. but in games like this where it’s just not happening for us… it only takes a couple of iffy decisions to swing the balance and scoreline.

    It’s depressing knowing that the club will continue to say absolutely nothing.

    Thought we looked really slow in our play, players were not showing for the ball, it was really lacklustre, thought it would be a hard game but never expected such a poor overall performance.

    Always looks poor moaning about refs when you get beat but * me, how did Armstrong stay on the park.

    He does the same every game, going in with elbow, constantly barging players off the ball.

    He done as much in the semi final against us last season.

    No surprises that he did get sent off versus the Huns last season though.

    The officiating was so bad you'd think they were actually cheating, offences happening in plain view and * all done about it, VAR is totally useless if it's a hun in charge of it.

    That's not taking away from the fact that we were really bad, but nontheless the club should be speaking up, it's totally unacceptable.

    Even Pep himself wouldn't guarantee that on our budget. Last 8 of the CL is just crazy talk. EL final is not impossible but will still require a fair chunk of luck.

    How much of that was the pitch, though? Especially with how dry it was making it even worse than usual.

    Yeah pitch isn't great, but we have to be doing better than what we showed today.
