Not unpopular at all. I agree wholeheartedly! 🧡❤️🧡

Im pretty happy with where we are right now. But I agree our season wont start properly until we get back to one game a week and the manager has the opportunity to get his ideas across to the players on the training pitch on a daily basis. I think thats why it went from so good to so bad, so quickly today. We were brilliant, right up to the point we lost our shape and structure, and then we werent. Its very fine lines right now, with timing of runs and passes so important to whether we attack from a position of security, or leave ourselves wide open to counter attack. Its something that Jens took a little while to get on top of last season, but when we did, it was impressive. I agree about the lack of physicality in the team though. Not sure what we can do about it at this stage, although I think Olly Whyte has a bit of dig about him. Do we trust throwing him in though and who do we leave out?

Would be good to get 3 points here as its a home game against a beatable opponent. However, its just another game in the series of games with no real break or preparation in between, asking yet more of our players who have been full on for over a month now. Dundee United have been a bit of an enigma in their performances and results so far, but the nature of their win on Saturday must give them confidence, despite being without their manager at the moment. Id guess we will see more rotation within the squad and it will depend exactly how that plays out what success we can expect. I will settle for us putting in another good performance and standing by our principles. Hopefully we can get our structure correct and minimise the goals against to give us the opporrunity to win it. A point would be acceptable. 3 points great.

Nicholson did handle the ball. However, he didnt do it deliberately. He didnt make his body bigger. And he didnt gain an advantage as his hand was against his head, hence the onward direction of the ball. Also, the penalty wasnt given in real time and there was no definitive camera angle available to the referee that proved conclusively that he had handled it. So although he did handle it. It was still a shite decision!

Missing the Gogic handball was embarassing. The time it took him and VAR to award it even worse. No issues with the majority of our yellow cards, but letting Gogic and some of their other players away with similar offences became very frustrating. Im was sure their second goal was offside. Need to see it again on Sportscene. The Lowry incident is a joke. Not to pull it back for the foul is bad enough, but to then stop the game bool tge player and make Lowry stand at the side for the minute and then give a drop ball from the wrong spot? Really poor stuff.

Paulsen made 3 really great saves in the second half. Thought Fadinger was really good for the most part, but Lowry was excellent today, he is a difference maker with his vision and range if passing. All doubts over his workrate and mentality are in the bin.

I thought a point was the least we deserved today. Totally dominated the game for 30 minutes and should have been outta sight before we allowed them back into it. Poor pen from JT. I dont like the stutter start and he makes it easy for the keeper to save the minute he goes the right way. Also thought it was another poor decision when he took the ball inside and shot wide. He had dragged the defender away from Lowry and should have played him in. Unfortunately we seem to be playing much more open this season which is great going forward, but we are leaving ourselves wide open on the counter. The capitulation before half time was unforgiveable, albeit I think their 2nd is offside and the third is 4 minutes into stoppage time when only 2 were announced and nothing of note had happened to further extend it. Second half was a game of basketball. End to end stuff with St Mirren having the better of the chances. We certainly had Paulsen to thank for keeping us in it. Thought Kanga looked to be struggling to adjust to the pace of the game off the bench but what a way to announce yourself to Scottish football. Genuine goal of the season candidate! Overall, a point at St Mirren isnt bad after a tough European game. Plenty to improve upon, but loads to be excited about as well. Cant wait for Wednesday.

You are 100% correct sir! I was screaming at Clancy! Absolutely clueless. Whats the point of playing advantage, stopping play and booking the guy, if you then disadvantage the team whose player was fouled.

I dont see us doing any more business unless there are outgoings. The squad is pretty full and with the injuries starting to clear up we look in a fairly healthy place. All depends on what Alfreds view is on Stama & Eythor. Id expect he would want to give both a chance before shipping them out in January maybe? Obviously if JT goes that might free up a spot for another attacker to come in. My biggest hope is that we get through the window with Fadinger and Longelo still at the club.

Excuse me but we had Buckfast in Lanark! 😍😍😍

Corinthian = Dirty Barsteward 😍😍😍

Pretty sure all gates were cash gates in those days. Was only really ugly sisters and big cup ties that went all ticket. Season books had tear out vouchers! Jeez we are getting old! 😍😍😍

One of the most iconic nights in Scottish Football! Wouldnt have believed it if I hadnt seen it myself!

Can only really go on his metrics and his pedigree. He has basically smashed it at youth level and made his senior debut at 15! You dont do that and then get poached by Leverkusens academy unless you have something about you. Didnt work out for him there, but 16 goals and numerous assists in 68 senior appearances in Sweden by age 20 seems decent. Also, Alfred has followed his career and is finally at a club with enough money to sign him, cause we are now massive! 😍😍😍

Thinking about what the lineup could be, taking into account minutes played, fitness levels etc, we could go....... Paulsen Sparrow Jake Moorman Williams Fadinger Hodge Kanga Lowry Said Seb With SOD, Whyte, Cookie, JT, Eythor all making appearances from the bench after 60 minutes....
