I can't really tell about the red from that angle.

Great first goal no doubt. Touch of fortune for our second.

Theirs was poor marking and you would hope TSL could have done better  although sounds like he had an otherwise good game.

Kelly. Totally needless to make that tackle that far up the pitch. Just go for a block rather than man and ball. Another example of the exuberance of youth as with Senior.

  If the referee had blown for the obvious man handling and ragging of Ironside he had a clear view of it wouldn't have happened

There was an incident in the first half where (think it was) Street set off to play a ball in front of goal and Accy player had him by the wrist and totally halted his movement.  The ref was in clear, unobstructed sight of it and gave nothing.

Our first goal was a classic example of direct football. Decent diagonal ball which was dealt with but we were quick to  the 2nd ball putting us on the front foot and instantly we've got the ball out to our winger in a 1 on 1 situation. I've said it before but all this passing around at the back just gives the opposition a chance to get back in their shape behind the ball making it very difficult to break down and negating our wide men. Obviously sometimes in games you need to try and keep hold of the ball I understand this but the key to me for getting out of this division is a more direct style & mastering the art of picking up the 2nd ball in dangerous areas. I will say that having Street up top is making it easier to play direct as he's always on the move making runs trying to get in behind.

Strange reaction from Gibbo after the second goal, didn't show any emotion and looked as though he wasn't sure about going to celebrate with the rest of the team. Seems a bit of a loner to me!

There was a foul on one of our defenders who was right in the path of the corner kick they scored from, manhandled to the ground when he would have been jumping to head it away.
