Never has a season ended with such relief. I really hope we get to see consi make a final appearance and get a win. Would be a shite ending if neither happened. He certainly deserves a decent send off (testimonial) but I can’t see that happening either. 
 

I really hope we don’t see Montgomery return next season, so I absolutely do not want to see him in this line up. Could be the last time we see quite a few of the first team.

Couple of items of interest rather than excitement:

1. Good to see Considine captain and hopefully he gets subbed off early to allow a suitable ovation.

2. I hope the boy Harvey gets the second half. Was he recalled from the Scotland u17 euros squad for this? If so anything other than a decent runout would be weird.

That was fairly terrible, as expected. Good for Considine to get 50 minutes, we were far better with him at the back, more aggressive and a better shape, atrocious decision to let him go. We'd better be ditching Gallagher too, he's way worse. 

Just the same as always, nothing in attack, limp in midfield and shakey in defence. Our worst season in two decades. A huge turnaround required. 

Special mention to the weird penalty overturning. What the fuck happened? Why was there a drop ball after?

So it was definitely a hand ball. There's maybe a shove on the player, but then no free kick was given and the game was restarted with a drop ball. Mental.

If Bates is giving him a shove why isn't his upper body tipping forward ? And why does the ref, when he's disallowing the pen, indicate that it hit his head first?

I don't think there was a shove, it's a still photo too so no idea about his body moving, I was merely offering an explanation. I believe that what happened was that the ref gave the penalty for handball. On speaking to the linesman, he overturns it because the linesman says it hasn't hit his hand it's hit his head. Now, obviously the linesman has that completely wrong, but it's the only explanation that would disallow the pen, but also result in no free kick. However, the dons should at the very least have been challenging the drop ball, as had the ball deflected off the player's head then it would have just as likely landed at one of our player's feet. The referee clearly screwed up in his handling of it after the linesman had made his airse of it.
