"Defensively I thought we were quite strong (What game was he watching?) but you can't get away with giving them as much ball as we did (Their first try was a joke, Peter Kaye couldn’t have scripted it better)
"There were a lot (rather an understatement) of unforced errors though and they cost us in the end. It is a bit (just a bit?) of a concern but I hope we can cut them out before we go to Celtic Crusaders on Monday. (If you can’t then it’s time to go!)"As a team I thought we were okay (you must be joking!) but some individuals didn't perform like we know they can but it is my role as coach to try (only try?) to help them through that."

I’m afraid Brian that you’re beginning to sound like Tony Rea and we all know what happened to him!

He sounds more like the cretin at the pies

interesting slant, think its probably Brian trying to take a positive response as we have another game coming up so quick
Ripping in to the guys on what was a dire display counter responsive?
Did it work at half time for Sts in the grand final last year?
Thats the only reason i can think that he is putting a good spin on it

Yes lets skirt around the issue and somehow try and praise the team for a dire performance. Very sensible. The performance was unacceptable and I hope behind closed doors he has got stuck into the 17 who played last night and made them aware of what is needed against Celtic.

Lets not be too harsh on BMcD. He's got a very tough job to do and I feel he is trying his best.

The last 10 minutes more than made up for the poor first 70. My heart was in my mouth when it looked like we might steal the game at the end. Alas, not to be.

A top effort though

It was Brian Mc that was Talking up how great we were going to be, much to the shock of many in the media as well as loyal supporters.

What is frustrating is how Jekyll and Hyde we can be as a Team, one match so good and then the next??
