He`s a great player but his first touch is shocking he keeps letting the ball run away from him then dives in he does it most weeks he could probably have been sent off for the first one if var had been there we got what we deserved nothing

He never touched the player for second booking. The player who was down was fine seen it was Mullen and started rolling around. From what I seen I think ref was leaving it at free kick but Mullen said something. That’s how it seemed to me so may have been for dissent. If not then it’s a poor decision as it wasn’t a foul never mind a booking. First one for me was a 50/50.

Looked amazing when he came in last season and made a massive impact in helping us stay up. His form dipped towards the end of last season and hasn’t picked up since.
Defensively looks dodgy but going forward he helps create space by carrying the ball and committing players, it’s the best part of his game just now unfortunately.

Did the player have to go to the sideline after treatment?
If no, the booking was probably for the foul itself.
I think if it was for dissent after the foul - meaning the foul wasn`t a bookable offence - then I think he`d have to go to the sideline.

The ref was not in a position to see any foul far less a sending off. He got caught up in the moment thanks to the play acting of Ayr players with the full knowledge that he had already been booked. Absolutely no honesty, respect for fellow professionals, or integrity left in football.

Ill bet anyone a round pound it was dissent.
He mouthed off at the scene. Probably pissed off cos it wasnt a foul.
The ref stayed at the scene as he walked away. The Ayr players were trying to get him sent off but he gave the ref the excuse when he turned his head and said something else. The ref reacted by actually lunging fwd immediately after the final comment.
The dissent gave the excuse for being duped.

To be fair, Lennon was interviewed after the game and only seen the incident from the far touchline.
It was a foul at the very worst but not a yellow card.

He`s had his wobbles here but he definitely has potential and the right attitude. Well done him.
Being honest, all the call ups for the team says a lot about the potential in the squad. I think we`ll stumble through this season but if we can hold onto this squad it`ll do really well in the end. I`ve said it before but the issue we`ve had in the past is too much reliance on loans to cover for mediocre permanent signings. I think we`re much stronger on the permanent signings now. Just need to keep going.

Some are keepers ( Gilmour) some will move on ( Amade) and we will build the quality over the next 2/3 windows. I expect the january window to be 2 or 3 experienced pros and the summer of 2026 to be a better mix than this summer.
Part of me doesnt want promoted to the SPL until we have a squad 3/4 ready for it ... getting humped each week is no fun.
So lets enjoy our time with him, get top 4 this year , run it close next one and then give it welly as champions

JCM has only turned 21 in the summer and he`s still relatively inexperienced, especially at this level.
He has all the attributes to go on and be an outstanding player, you can see that by his international recognition.
Like with a lot of the young guys in the team, they need to be allowed to develop. I think most of his mistakes are just mental errors that he`ll learn from, physically he can absolutely stroll it.

We had first option as part of the loan agreement. He only needed to sign a 1 year deal, while having other offers on the table. He`ll sign a pre contract in January and there`s nothing we can do about that. Genuinely don`t think there`s anything the club could have done here.
We either keep him for the full season and lose him to a pre contract, or a club wants him enough to pay us a small fee to get him in January.
Good luck to him. One of those players that will have a decent future career above our level I think.

This will act as the proof that it can identify talent that will prosper and make money for clubs. I`d imagine any players that are any good will be moved on at the first opportunity

The reason it appears he’s not had a better season is purely down to the previous ultra negative tactics from McPake and Tidser.
It was a stroll for him passing about the back then without being tested but when Lennon came we started pushing up the park and he was certainly getting a bigger test in terms of 50/50’s and his reactions to them.
I personally think his overall game has improved with some questionable decision making thrown in but he is so far from the finished article which is a good thing at his stage of development.
