Started slowly i thought, first 20 mins we were still on the bus (or was Celtic giving us a game) either way a good day at the office, solid defence in the second half and a good attacking display without our first choice half backs.... Stronger tests to come however.

Totally agree with all this , hoping atkins is gonna start firing soon having said that he did improve second half, thought king suited right centre to left wing

Two other things that stood out today that I haven't seen from us in past seasons.

1. The team playing till the last seconds of the first half we could of just shut up shop but we wanted to attack right till the end.

2. The teams determination stop them from scoring in the second half, King putting in two try saving tackles in and in the last 10 mins you could tell they really wanted to keep them out even though the result was over.

I thought he was fantastic all game - great awareness, footwork and some really good goalkicking. Was my runner up for MOM behind King.

I realised from the reaction of the wire fans in the east stand that their 2nd try was Ok, but from the south stand it looked as though the ball was well over the dead ball line. It just goes to show that fans as well as referees sometimes get it wrong as a result of their line of sight.

Great game though - and the bit of biff provided the X factor,

what actually happened with atkins and that didn't see beginning of it

So many positives to take out of the game. Riley was superb. Bridge in the second half had a great game... And king, who on form is one of the greatest attacking threads is SL.. Also Paul wood was quality yet again.

One of them might not have mattered mate as I'm still a bit dubious about Lincoln Withers' try for Crusaders. I don't think he grounded the ball when he slid in.
