Shows how overhyped the football at the start of last season was. It genuinely isn’t that hard to move the ball in your half, it is what you do with it after.
Airdrie have a hell of a lot more movement off the ball than we did!

You can play like this in the Lower Leagues in Scotland... just takes good coaches with a philosophy pic.twitter.com/jdvg9Gla4L

Amazing what you can do in walking football.
Keeping the ball for ages in your own half doesn't do anything for me
Playing against a team of scarecrows helps, they let them do whatever they wanted didn't press, and didn't mark any players.
They are sixth, I would imagine that goal was against one of the two pub teams at the bottom of the league of ten, Inverness with one point or Grenock.

So many unnecessary back-passes and players not taking any responsibility with the ball. Not for me.
It's like watching basketball only kicking rather than throwing.
The football in the opposition's half was fantastic. It was partly aided by some of the passing inside their own half, dragging a few opposition players out of position.
Much nicer on the eye than goalkeeper whacking it upfield as far as he can in the hope of getting a flick on.
Not what I'd call total football. But a patient build-up. I have no problem with passing the ball around, dragging opposing players out of position, and waiting for opportunities. It didn't sound like their fans were too happy with it until the ball hit the net though.
I'd much rather see defenders defend and attackers entertain.
The skillful players barely get a touch in the modern game and it's less entertaining.
They could have scored that goal 30
seconds earlier without the need for the 20/30 vanity passes in their own half.
The opposition defence was playing musical statues with the music on permanent stop by the looks of it.
LOL come on they didn’t need to unlock anything it was one of laziest “presses” I’ve ever seen and kept going back to the same place under no real pressure. The right sided winger / midfielder was a lazy bastard and couldn’t be arsed even pressing, marking or chasing back. They could have just passed it past that lamppost to open it all up at the very start.
It was the worst press I’ve seen since Steve Morisons 3 man press against a very competent in possession Swansea side whilst the rest of the side sat in a low block. Thus resulting in a 4-0 defeat.
