Correct decision to hook Martin. He had committed another bad foul in the second half whilst carrying a yellow, and a second yellow could have been given. The ref spoke to him, and he was lucky to stay on at that point.
We were sitting at the far end of the Main Stand, EXACTLY in line with the players, when the ref/lino gave the offside decision which was clearly wrong. The guy siting next to me was a 'spy' from Falkirk FC and confirmed our player was clearly onside. From that free kick, Queens Park scored within 20 seconds. Until that stage we looked as if we could get a point tonight.
We never threatened though, until the goal mouth scramble with loads of players in a 'stramash', but no Accies player was able to poke the ball in from about one yard from the goal line. Other than that we were very poor with the final ball in the 18 yard area.
As I've said before on too many occasions, we are 'gone'. It would take a miracle, even with two Home games, to see us getting six points from them. The final game v Arbroath I see as a celebration for them to keep their place in the Championship.
We have had no effective striker for two seasons and this has cost us dearly with no 'finisher'. It's the seaside leagues for us now, for the foreseeable future.
