Agree with most of this, as a whole the performance was poor. Factors to consider were the constant break up of play, continual fouls on Morelos etc. Katic didn't have a great game in all honesty.
I'm not going to bash our team and look at the end result 1 : 4 that will do for me.
Tav's penalties have been well executed and long may it continue.
Re Alfie, he was getting assaulted all over the place and possibly looked like he had a minor hamstring issue but never gave up, kept going and got his reward. Overall I'm well chuffed.
Good last 10 mins mate.
I think you need to realise we've dodged a serious bullet and straighten your greeting face.
Gie's peace.
It was an absolutely dreadful performance and anyone who thinks we can continue to play like that yet will still continue to get all three points is deluded.
The first goal was a thing of beauty, the first penalty was a stonewaller, thought the second was soft and the finish for the fourth was a sublime strike.
Refereeing wise, how the mong lookalike stayed on the park after the barge midway through the second half, is typical of the cheats in black. As for the yellow for Morelos? A complete joke.
But that level of performance should not be condoned.
Better teams than Hamilton won't be as easy to prise the points from.
Calm down mate, we won. 3 most needed away points are bagged.
Danced about your garden with joy and relief?!The performance was shite - I don't think anyone is saying otherwise.
But at 1-1 if you had offered me 4-1 I'd have bit your hand off and danced about my garden with joy and relief.
That's all that matters.
We played great at Pittodrie and had 3 points snatched from us. We played shite today but got all 3. I know which I prefer.
No one, Gerrard included, is saying the performance was good but at the same time no one (other than yourself) is coming out with pathetic guff like this either:
"Probably the least happy I've ever been after a win"
I'm pretty one dimensional when it comes to the tedddies.
Of course the result in the end up will always be the most important thing. I'm just of the opinion, continuing to perform like we did today will not result in many wins away from home.
I also don't agree with 'the pitch is a leveller' argument.
For me, if you have better and more talented players, then the better player should be able to contend with inferior conditions, whether it be weather or artificial pitches.
As I said I'm pretty one dimensional when it comes to football. Of course you will always have fluke results, but more often than not, if you have the desire and the proper attitude, then skill should always beat the inferior player.
I'm delighted with the 3 points mate.
I think you need to realise we've dodged a serious bullet and straighten your greeting face.
Imagine having to watch football on that pitch every other weekThat was a good result to get today - made a bit of a hard job of it but got the result in the end. Couple of things that were good today. Kent was excellent again and took his goal very well. Great to see Rossiter back and Morelos keeping up the scoring. Thought Halliday had a good game also and is keeping up the justifying his selection.
Was a good goal that boy Boyd scored for them but he was given too much time. Also, I think it's fair to see why Worrall is playing ahead of Katic - something not looking right with the big man and hopefully he snaps out of it. More than capable.
The two penalties were a little soft but were penalties - Tav took them well.
That pitch is fucking awful - the bounce is so unnatural - even the moving across the ground isn't right. They need to be removed in top level football. The bounce of the ball probably didn't help Penny when he gave away his first penalty in fact.
But what if he just boots it away with his left foot like any normal person?
Of course I'll take the 3 points but let's not kid on it wasn't a fucking brutal performance that would've seen us get a hiding at most other venues in the league. Hamilton are absolutely shite.
The team were poor today, but Morelos managed to put together almost the complete package as a lone striker.The one standout for us today. Especially considering the challenges he took without protection from the ref.
He looks every bit the modern number 9.
The whole anti Morelos patter is laughable. It’s either people with an agenda or people who know nothing about football.
It is cheating the paying public.Imagine having to watch football on that pitch every other week
Ah now we're getting somewhere.
I don't want us "dodging bullets" against the 2nd worst - maybe even the worst - team in this league, who got horsed 6-0 last time out.
So while I'm happy with the result, I'm not as happy as I'd usually be because we came far too close to chucking it away with 10 minutes to go.
Got it?
Would be horrific. Generally players that are forced to play on these types of pitches start to get used to it and get an advantage from it - the Accies players don't look comfortable playing on it either.Imagine having to watch football on that pitch every other week
6-1 Rangers. Got this score in my head for some bazaar reason.
It is cheating the paying public.
A fckn disgrace to charge top dollar and not provide the correct playing platform.
You clearly don't "get it".
No one is happy with the performance - you're not special or alone in that opinion.
But sometimes you just have to take the 3 points and move on. Today was one of those days.
We won. Cheer up and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
The gaffer has just said the performance was poor but some people on here will still say we were brilliant. We have folk calling people who are not happy with the performance drama queens yet if there was dropped points you’d never see these accusers again.
Thank feck I miss most of these match threads due to being at most games.
Sorry but we won that because their centre back had some sort of spastic meltdown and gave us 2 penalties.
If you think that sort of performance is getting us anything at Easter Road or Tynecastle you're deluded. We'll get fucking skelped and we really really need to buck up our ideas away from home. The performance was every bit as bad as Livingston.
Ah, got it now.
Nobody's happy with the performance but I'm not allowed to actually say I'm not. Gotcha.
Have a nice evening
Alien ant farm version is far superior though. hehe.How young are u, michael jackson all the way for us old bastards
Imagine having to watch football on that pitch every other week
So he did admit that the ball hit his arm . Don't see what difference it makes if the ball hit his shoulder first
The team were poor today, but Morelos managed to put together almost the complete package as a lone striker.
You can perceptibly see the improvement with every game.
The influence of coaching and the wee man's own ambition will bear a fine harvest.
How much would Scotland love to have a player like this in their team?
I really hope this lad can get his career back on track.
You clearly don't "get it".

I agree,but the lack of performance in all our domestic away games is more than a little concerning.The performance was poor. The result was not. I have concerns, as most do. However, I’d rather be on here happy with 3 points after being poor, than miserable after playing great football and losing/drawing. We won ugly.
No, as they line up to shoot it is evident that there is a balance issue for our players on these surfaces.Both games on the plastic pitches have seen most of our players slipping all over the place.
Both shots from Ovie saw him ending up on the deck and he wasn’t the only player to fall over, or am I just barking up the wrong tree?
Canning’s a fud.Canning thinks it's weird that they didny win the game ?? !!!
Comparing walker and Cohen is like comparing a cloud to a dog shite.Haw there's bugger all wrong with Leonard Cohen, that man was a genius
