As much as I'm on my soapbox that Irvine shouldn't be there, today had nothing to do with selection or tactics although I do think Dorrans must have some sordid photos or videos of Irvine in a safe deposit box somewhere.
We had the match won after 20 minutes, playing some nice stuff and looking like we could open them up at will.
No change in tactics we didn't drop deep with what we had but we certainly hit the self destruct button out on the pitch, no qualms with the pen, moment of stupidity by Mozza right in front of the ref from a corner Foster should have collected, only thing I'd say is 99 times out of 100 they're not given. Then we concede 2 more from 2 more corners. Rank bad defending all round.
I'd say through no fault of his own, Irvine's back in the smelly stuff with City & Stoke on the horizon. For all the players saying they're behind him, they certainly didn't do him any favours today
