Any top flight trophy matters especially when we haven't won one in a near decade. This cup was the catalyst to get winning back into our team.. Medals a champions mentality and we shit the bed to one of the worst teams in the league. It's no coincidence it's came at the arse end of December either.

Switched off after going a goal up thinking job done . The only time they showed urgency was the last 15 minutes . If they'd shown that same desire for the full 90 we wouldn't have lost . Billy Big baws attitude. I think there's something in that. It can happen to a good team, but it felt like some of our players who are not first choice picks at the moment, bought into their own hype when they haven't quite earned it. We didn't earn the victory tonight. For a brief moment I thought that we were seeing another sign of a team of potential champions when we equalised. To throw it away poses some serious questions.

KyleBJK 847 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 See the Uber staunch crew that think tonights result isn’t an embarrassment and talk about the bigger picture and perspective, I’ve heard all that shite for the past 3 seasons now. They’re bottlers and until the can get a trophy in that cabinet it’ll always hang over them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parma99 116 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 We're all hurting but I'm going to hold back on the 'bottlers' claim until we see the reaction on Saturday. If we win and take a 16 point lead then I think we'd all agree it's a good position. We all want trophies, but if slip ups are going to happen, I'd rather they were in the cups rather than the league. Saturday is now a huge game.

SkylineBlue 23,363 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I dont know how anyone can really argue the case that we're not bottlers with a straight face after the past 3 years.

AGM_72 3,634 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Still find it hilarious people are willing to dismiss defeats in cups, like they were willing to get papped out the europa league early, in order to "focus on winning the league". Absolute pish. You don't build a winning mentality by getting knocked out of competitions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 It’s more than understandable for people to think here we go again after the last two seasons. Rugby Park in January 2019, Tynecastle in January 2020 were two bad defeats that we had room to bounce back from and still win things but pretty much everything imploded. It can be different this time but the next games are even more massive than they were already, I really don’t think we can afford to drop points before the 2nd and give them any dent in our lead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe St Mirren played well tonight? What could go wrong did, but they all, to a man put in a performance. Unlike us. It happens in football.

graeme_4 34,527 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Choke when the pressure is really on. Always have under Gerrard.

You’re choosing to look at this result and say ‘it’ll have a negative effect on everything else’. There’s no evidence to suggest that will be the case. We’ve done brilliantly in Europe, We’re 13 ahead in the league, we’re flying this season. One bad game doesn’t undo all the good work that’s been done up until this point. That’s nonsense. The last 2 seasons have already shown us how this team reacts to negative results and pressure and I obviously hope they prove me wrong however you can't hide from the fact that this was an unavailable chance at silverware in the best part of a decade and its been thrown away against a team we should be beating comfortably.

JackAlex93 11,273 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Hard one to take tonight, really hard but we move on to Saturday against Motherwell in the league. 3 points and keep moving forward!

It’s the fact that yet again it’s came at the first hint of success in a cup cellic weren’t in. That’s the problem you know it. Pathetic you’re trying to just airbrush that So whats the difference in reaction if we'd lost on Sunday, or this Saturday? Would it be league bottlers instead of general bottlers? Its a fucking pendulum of extremes on here, and tonight proves it. Its a terrible performance and defeat, but thats what it is. Its cost us a semi final but could have been 3 points. My argument is given the season we've been having, there's no proof its bottling it rather than just a shite 90 mins. Time will tell. But rather than wait thuse that are all in or all out have gone from smoking cigars to smashing their tvs ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number5 2,121 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 We lost. Would rather we lost in this cup than any other trophy. We'll find out what we're made of in the next game and whether this acts as a catalyst and reality check that were not invincible and we need to be 100% each and every game. No need for a breakdown and shitting our pants, leave that to the fenians. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
