    Exactly.

    A football fan can forgive a player's lack of skill, bad choices on the pitch or even occasional stupidity (e.g. a completely unnecessary red card), but the lack of heart and fighting spirit is the hardest thing to forgive.

    Aye thats the most disappointing part of it, we probably should have won both games. Van Dijk header blocked by Johansen, Johansen running through but bad touch and Kayal being decked in the box but no penalty - could easily have been 3 goals in the away game. Last night Van Dijk chance at the death, McGregor hitting the bar, Ambrose header. Were all really good chances for goals, then there was other set peices we got the head on in both games that all went off target.

    Stokes' chance in the first leg as well which trickled past the post.

    Last night Commons dragging that shot well wide when he should have at least hit the target. Van Dijk header in the first half, Suler putting it past his own post by about 3 inches. If that goes in and we take the lead in the first 10 mins then they would have capitulated.

    All that on top of what you mentioned, they run up and get a goal with one of their few clear cut opportunities over the two legs.

    I know it's all well and good saying this now, but, I thought at the time those missed chances in the away leg might come back to haunt us. When things happen like Johansen clearing off the line from his own team and then tripping up at the crucial moment when through on goal go against you, you have to sit and wonder.

    Some of the, if not all the subs that were made last night from us were baffling.

    cant beat part timers

    Yeah not a good result..Considering Maribor players wages are really low (ie; average players wage making around 40000 euros a year...Best Players on about 100k euro a year) we should be embarrassed about not beating them.

    Now I am curious who we will play in the Europa League. Surely we will have to improve a lot. Maribor are no world class team by any means...

    Still beelin the day. Was already ragin about the * queue at Gate 53-54 before even gettin in, 10 mins late. Feel for the folk who would have waited longer aswell. As for the game, gutted, hurt, angry, and left feelin we've all been cheated by a bunch of stingy bastarts. Total joke, one that certainly nobody is laughing at. One shining light, was young McGregor. Shame we don't have a few more of him.

    We were played off the park at home by, to be honest a team with 2, 3 max quality players.

    I notice their main man Tavares saying he could have scored 3 or 4 on the night...as bad as we were that really is not the case.

    Was also saying that they followed what Legia had done to us by putting our back four under pressure on the ball and forcing the long ball. That was something that did worry me I must admit. We should have been doing that to them, I think we were taken completely by surprise at the way they set up. I think he was fully expecting them to try and counter again like they played in the first leg.

    It comes down to two things. Matthews not cutting out the cross and Izzy heading a ball that's going out for a by kick, into the penalty spot. Then it's ping ball and Ambrose can't do anything about it.

    Now if Ambrose is still on the right, that cross doesn't come in. The three people who * up were Commons who again loses the ball and the team go up the park and score.

    Matthews who lets the ball come into the box. Izzy heading that ball man, and Commons not slotting a goal away that Pukki would have scored all day long.

    Oh it fell to his weaker right foot. 25 yards out he's shooting. What Commons offered was what we really missed first half, someone who could hold the ball up, all it really did was cost us the game because the game got stretched when we just needed to keep it compact. Even though it was * to watch.

    I'm past worrying about it. Hopefully the treble awaits and a good run in the Europa. Reckon with Deila it'll be all about the January transfer window when the Scandinavian league shuts down. Adios and enjoy the season.
