Lifted from elsewhere but an reasonable summation on Malky bleating during and after the game.
'The difficulty for Malky is his complete reversal of opinion from the fixture at Celtic Park back in November. This was the game where Ross County were awarded the penalty against Matt O'Reilly. The ball struck O'Reilly's foot, then his knee and finally onto his hand which was by his side. The ball was not even in the penalty area! VAR review awards Ross County a penalty. Malky's post match comment. - " that was a penalty under the rules". Brutal hypocrisy.'

Yeah but it is only fair when it goes his way 🙄

Wee Bernabei was brilliant when he came on
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s ok, I’m pretty sure he doesn’t read JA
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure what you mean?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Being flippant. It wasn't his worst game but I think you are out on a limb with 'brilliant'? Albeit everyone sees a different game.
Aside from his general positional naivety he is a FB and when he IS in position he invariably sits way too far off his opposite number allowing crosses into the box. He did that 3-4 times in the time he was on today. We got lucky cos RC were going for it. Those balls caused panic. That is a basic attribute. Watch it back.
As luck would have it, some geek has just published a very comprehensive analysis of Bernabei and it formalises my rough and ready observations that he doesn't fit our team however talented he may be.A very long read but pretty damning in the conclusion given that Ange is not known for sacrificing his system for individuals.

His defending needs work but he was ripping County up down the left side when he came on , him and Haska tore them apart in their short time on the pitch
He's full of energy and drive and his forward play was brilliant to watch , as was his goal .
Like you said we all see a different game .
Oh as well , wonderful introduction. Kyogo is just mincing around half the time not contributing anything

Eh?
His off the ball movement is exceptional and I’m pretty sure he, McGregor, Hart and CCV are the first names in the team sheet.
One of the reasons we have so many different goal scorers is his off the ball running and creating space. Defenders can’t leave him for a second
Agree on Kyogo though it doesn't help having to go 3 falls and a submission with a farmer just to join an attack. Not being paranoid but Sky seemed reluctant to review any of these though tbf I never watched post-match. He may also have just been doing an Ulrika - going down too easy?

I see it as a bit of both. No doubt in my mind his runs into the box are being “checked”, but he does go down too easily and with an element of theatrics.
Refs have seen it too many times now.

However, there was one yesterday that was as blatant as it gets. The defender literally stops tracking back and changes direction to barge Kyogo and then falls over as if Kyogo has tripped him up. It was that bad I laughed

Because refs have seen it too many times they don’t even bother giving it a seconds glance. They just see wee guy bullied out the way
On the Argentina chanting was that just ebullient support for the wee man or is there yet another pathetic GB anti-imperialist angle being worked because if it is the latter then there would be some amount of political contortion at work.

dont dispute any of that -
but yesterday he was a complete non entity and its not the first time hes ghosted through games
look at the difference when Oh came on , heavily involved in everything
Both different types but i think yesterdays game was crying out for that change earlier ....thats maybe the main observation .
regarding the man handling , there was a blatant one where Lacovitti just stopped back tracking and rammed into him to block his run . Outwith that it was mincing from Kyogo imo
don't think we were great yesterday but always happy to leave with 3 points.
Bernabei i find quite poor, i think he looks decent in attack sometimes but guilty of dwelling on the ball and defo not up to it defensively. i'd be concerned about sakalas pace in behind him.
the more i see of Oh the more i like him, same with Johnston.
Iwata looks like he could be a good player as well, comfortable on the ball, kept the play moving at a good tempo.
Lastly, if half of kyogos runs were picked up by our midfield then he would be on a hat trick every game.
Agree with much of what JFK says about the game and Bernabei. Thought the handball decision was a bit fortunate at first, but the more you see the replays, the more a stonewaller it was. The Ross county player even admitted it came off his arm-that won’t shut Malky up about it though. Boyd on Sky made a weird point about inconsistency. Weird purely from the point of view of his timing about it as it’s been the concern for months now…
Midfield was a bit of a problem. O’Riley didn’t play well and his confidence looks low again. Need to hope Mooy and Hatate are 100% for this weekend. Iwata did alright, but started to look a bit sloppy with his passing until he was moved further forward and McGregor dropped back deeper.
AJ had a good game the longer it went on-but that’s a couple of games now where he’s been closed down and lost the ball. Needs to watch that.
Kyogo doesn’t appear to do much in a lot of games, but his movement is excellent and we need to involve him more. Should have buried that chance he had. Dreadful miss.
Oh came on at the right time. He gave their defence a different problem and he was more involved as a result.
Good 3 points away from home. Still can’t believe I’ll miss the game this weekend for a wedding down south.

I think this is where Iwata will link up well with Kyogos runs, he pinged one lovely through ball to him yesterday which should have been buried by Kyogo. BTW that kick out from Hart then control and turn by Oh was unreal 👏

Agreed with that, the more the game went on the more effective he was. He has the odd mistake in him as do all our players and I am sure he will have been annoyed to get nutmegged during the game.

I think Malky was mostly raging cos he'd asked the 4th official if time was up and went racing in to get first dibs on the chocolate digestives then wondered where every cvnt was
The RC pressing seemed to take some players by surprise - Iwata, AJ, Starfelt, MOR, Maeda. Hopefully the Sebo'ish finishing is out their system for next week.
Thankfully Oh and Kyogo both fit and whoever starts the opposition see the other coming on at 60-70mins and have new problems and fresh legs to deal with.
The second goal was coming but for too long. Not sure we'd have got it if RC hadn't been as ambitious as they were.
I'd start Oh against the Darkside, bring Kyogo on at 60mins to run at them.
Kyogo has 3 goals in his last 2 games against rangers.
i'm baffled anyone thinks we shouldn't start him
For me Kyogo starts all day long.
My on,y concern for this one is the availability of Hatate and Mooy. If one makes it, I’m comfortable with Iwata sitting alongside.
Hatate McGregor and Iwata would make a fine midfield trio imo
and yes Kyogo to start but if hes not getting involved make the Oh change sooner
we paid buttons for this guy.
