2 goals against a second tier team is not good enough. We shouldnt be pleased to simply win this sort of game , we have to set our sights higher.

Bit harsh I’d say. We were never likely to get anything at Tynecastle, not the end of the world losing there, especially when three of the goals were self inflicted. Still frustrating, but not exactly a shock.

Fact is, we’ve won the rest and that’s what you’d have hoped for before a ball was kicked. Last season we couldn’t even beat lower league opposition at home, so there’s definitely progress. Win your home games, take care of the lower league sides, and you’ve given yourself a decent chance. That’s all you can ask at this stage. Hopefully although unlikely kane isn`t out for too long and we move onto the league.

c'mon the pars

If we had scored another 2 goals we would have qualified


Exactly . We really only have ourselves to blame . There were definitely another couple of goals for the taking in the last half hour v Dumbarton , and had we started at a higher tempo today , I`m sure we`d have scored earlier and probably gone on to win by 3 or 4 .
Still a glimmer of hope , but we should`ve had it done today .

Just for the sake of completeness, there is another route to the next round, if rather unlikely.

We`d go above Ayr on goal difference and claim the final spot in the next round if St Mirren were to win by nine.

Back to reality, Ayr have a seeded place in the draw at stake, so it`s not as if they`re going into it with nothing to play for. Don`t give up hope yet.

Worth remembering that last season we LOST to the likes of Forfar! I think we only won one game if I`m remembering correctly.

It`s not set in stone that St Mirren win tomorrow. I`m hopeful that Ayr will sneak a draw.

All final round games should be played at the same time in my opinion.


Some teams had played all their games by Tuesday night.That`s the issue with groups of 5 teams

They should just make it one big league like Europe. The games are already set up in the same way.

All that we could ask for pre kick off was a chance - we have done that. Now just got to hope it goes our way.

By the way, its a disgrace that theres a game being played later for TV - if anything it should’ve been today at 12:30 at worst. Now they COULD play it out so both go through. Not saying they will.

Not really, had we had more intensity first half and won 4-0 which was more than achievable, we’d be sitting qualified right now.

We only needed 1 more goal and that was us through.

Yes, but results also went our way in certain other games - had Airdrie and Alloa drawn we were out.

I, too, like Turps` suggestion that it be one big league.

Impressive result for Partick Thistle yesterday, whilst against one of the promotion favourites!

Ayr playing five at the back, benching both Oakley and Thomas.
