61% possession to Hearts. We keep giving the ball away too easily.

If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid

Apart from the first 10 we have looked very flat this half. FFs can't someone do something creative to get Ifill on the ball. Heart are totally dominating the midfield...possession for the 5 mins before the goal was 85% to Heart. If we don't hold onto the ball and get some creativity through the midfield then its goodbye to 3 points.
Hope Ifill is going to be OK....din't look good coming off. Get Ward off and Sanchez on.

Great. Hate to say it but blame SigmUnd, kept playing after an obvious handball that Ben Williams was clearly going to call, and a result he was caught out of position when the quick free kick was taken.

Bollocks. Play to the whistle. If the free kick hadn't been�taken 5 yards from where the offence took place it would never have been a goal.


As soon as he handballed it, Ben Williams put the whistle to his mouth, the only reason he didn't blow it was to see of there was advantage.

Typical nix away game, good first 10mins, then dropped back, then concede a soft goal...

Ifill seemed to pick up a niggle after kicking the ball early on. We lost spark after that. Now he looks really f*cked.

I kinda laugh that we are whinging over a free kick taken 5 yards from the foul and the foul is 50yards from goal. Its not like it was around the 18y box. That is now common place in football everywhere that fouls where the free kick specialists are involved are generally on the spot but in the back half of the field, it is largely irrelevant..

We were caught out on a quick free kick (which has happened to us a few times in our history). The only thing we should be asking is why we chose not to get back quickly and when are we eventually ever going to learn.

The referee blows up the game for Worm but not for Bertos? (Ignoring Hamill as it was a head injury)

Some of the passing throughout the whole team has just been atrocious! That passage of play just before was embarrassing.

Ward going off, Pavlovich to come on. About time Pav was getting some goals. Here's hoping.

I see Tim Brown is back to his 'best' as well after last week's heroics. Jogging around with no real urgency and letting people get shots in etc when he's metres away but makes no effort to get a tackle in.

I reckon Nick Ward looks like Viggo Mortensen from Eastern Promises. Perhaps we are just a team of gangsters in disguise? Jeff Vader2011-12-04 18:30:15

I think after that Sanchez effort you can justifiably say we are unlucky.

Three for me, and two for them.
