Millerdon Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Glass has been given plenty plaudits for making early and decisive subsitutions, but was today not an example where doing just that might have cost us? Even if we had managed to scrape an equaliser we would have been playing with 9 men in extra time. Link to comment

But yes his actions have (albeit done with the best of intentions) more than likely cost us one definite starter for Qarabag, possibly 2 Link to comment

I'll rightly call you out in the stands or on a forum for potentially making matters worse. Support the side, but if you can't do that, then just STFU. Nothing positive to say, then say nothing - isn't that the saying? (but I pays me money and that gives me the right to boo... blah blah). Try going to St James Park and booing a defeated Newcastle.

Simply Red Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 @tiny wee lad Im not taking sides just making an observation I didnt see the game so cant comment other than the obvious disappointment, especially at throwing away a 0-1 lead. Ive seen much worse (raith/mcghee) than what mustve happened today. Losing 1-2 away in a cup game against a decent side who would be on a par with bottom 6 spl doesnt throw me into a rage. So for some, that would make me a happy clapper. Zero fucks given about that. As long as lessons are learnt and theres a reaction in the SC and league then we move on. Link to comment

That's quite a relevant point if truth be told, and you don't need to go back that far either. If we'd still been under the management of McInnes, we'd probably have won the Hacken game 1-0 at home but papped out over there. Drawn the Utd game 0-0 and lost the Livi game after throwing Dean Campbell up front with along with Ash Taylor. Today's result would just have been another brick in the wall. So it's actually a back handed compliment to Glass that many are sploshing about in pools of their own urine, such is the over reactions. I think he's improved the standard of play in just weeks. Of course, there's no silver bullet, and we've been a wee bit spoiled by the results so far. There was always going to be points this season where we struggle and today, trying to manage players game time ahead of an important (extremely if you factor in the financial benefit of group stages) game, it didn't go to plan. As you say - let's see if there's a reaction. We all know the side that lines up on Thu will look similar to the ones who have played in Europe so far. No Hayes and Hedges, but Ojo, McGeough, push Ferguson forward a bit more along side Ramirez.... we'll see. But if we win over two legs, then those who are lambasting Glass and Cormack will be happily lapping it all up. Link to comment
