Re Doidge's role in this farce, why can this guy not head a ball properly in situations where timing and focus are paramount in scoring simple goals from some terrific "cross balls" that were "begging" to be converted????? In bygone days I scored a number of goals with my face from almost point blank positions off opposition goal lines!!! Yes, with my face!!! And it hurt!! But I was ensuring that the ball was gonna be headed on target with venom!! Even Hanlon at the end of this match somehow opted to head the ball off the ground from 3 yards rather than heading it with venom and accuracy!! I think Jack Ross's post-match comment was so fitting - it was a "strange match"!! Yep, and nobody in Hibs ranks who was cute enough to move from "frenetic mode" to "guile mode" in just showing a bit of coolness and quality in ensuring that the ball ended up in the Staggies' net. Same criticism goes for Boyly running in on an opposition goalie and almost always opting for a "diagonal shot" rather than hit towards the post (and space) that is facing you son!!! An easy goal IMO!!
