Not sure about that being a foul, but overall I have seen us defend far worse so it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
Miller worked away up front with little success with Boyd contributing not much, however thought the Dolphin looked not bad at all and the defence was reasonably solid most of the time, despite Woods continually kicking it out on the full. The midfield worked hard and even Imrie battled against Rogic well.
McGowan had a tough time, particularly in the second half and I feared the worst when he brought out a club from his shorts and battered Tierney 20 times about the face, head and body near the end, leaving the poor wee mite bleeding profusely and being unable to continue due to the savagery of the attack. Oh no wait, it was an aerial challenge that wee Kieran didnae like and from which he bravely managed to get up and carry on shortly thereafter. Think Sammon v Ziggy slowed down x 100 and you'll get the picture. What a shame a good player constantly play acts - there's hardly a challenge which isn't followed by him sprawling on the grass !!
Overall then, despite the expected defeat I thought it augured well for games against lesser teams and if we can add some attacking flair to the reasonableness of the defence we discovered today, I feel reasonably optimistic for the next few games. What an odd feeling
