Yes, you're right, I should have said handled deliberately/consciously . His arm was pushed up (foul) by the Celtic player and Sam headed the instantaneous deflection out for a shy. Whole thing stank, as you obviously agree, and we come to the eternal killer question: would MFC have been given a penalty at the other end in those circumstances? QED, I think.

I can text the result Wednesday and they can nip down to Ladbrooks and put £200 on it Thursday morning.

I thought 1st goal should have been chalked off for a foul and I think our keeper shouldn't be getting beat at the near post for the second. However it is what it is and keeper saved us going 4-2 down

I would have taken a draw at 3pm after our Euro exertions and so I'm happy with the result. However, I'm not impressed by the manner of it after having been 2 goals up then losing 3 in a crazy 10 minute spell. That can't all be put down to tiredness. Plenty of positives though like TJ getting back on the scoresheet and our debutant scoring a cracker. Also a few returning from injury. However, we are short of a fit right back just now and I'm not sure our defence has the height and physicality to cope with rivals. Midfield also seems talented but lightweight. Its a young side we have and we seem to lack leadership and experience. Early days and our season won't really begin until after next weekend, but a few concerns starting to emerge.

That was a thoroughly entertaining game courtesy of two teams looking to play open and incisive football with a fair amount of quality. I’m not quite sure what to make of the three goals conceded in nine minutes. We did look lightweight but this time last year I thought we were destined to lose a bundle of goals but went on to achieve a ridiculous number of clean sheets.

It's certainly a great start for Jardell and I have little doubt he will develop into something special ✊.

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!

Just watched the highlights. Wild that the pen was not retaken. Gogic after the miss is affecting the play and denies Tawanda the ability to get the ball. How is that missed by VAR. Mental. Not sure about the fouls before the goals. Would have been soft and if it happened to us we would have been raging. Some finish from the new boy. Not seen a goal like that in a while.

AJ obviously spotted Kanga so hopefully today is a great sign. 3yr deal plus year option so if he comes good then we have a huge asset

You can be a silly sossage with some of your jokes at times but they're usually better than my unspoken ones. Sorry, I'm in a Kanga dwam and everything is rosy at the mo 😂🤣😁.

The last few domestic games have taught us that we are short of physicality and leadership/experience on the pitch.

Only 23😃😃

Cheers pal

Mrs grizzly agrees 🤣

Or a post-age stamp

So both pundits on Sportscene agree it’s a foul in the lead up to the 1st St Mirren goal. Both pundits agree the missed penalty should have been retaken. The fact that Clancy needed to see the handball on a tv despite having a great view in real time sums up how bad he was. The standard of officiating is at an all time low in Scotland but as usual it’ll be swept under the carpet as it’s not against Rangers or Celtic.

I'd say a fridge magnet: your jokes by comparison are eternal, although potentially on the slide............. May The Force be with you!

I confess.....more like a Post it note

He's got material?

No chance, my friend. After the shocking events of our last game against Celtic in May, I actually asked myself what was the point of carrying on watching us since many matches last year were obviously fixed. Fortunately, my anger dispelled those thoughts. I suppose all we can do is play our stuff under King Alfred and hope we can further embarrass our officials. After all, almost the whole of Scottish fandom (apart from Sellick and Hibs supporters) knows Nicholson did not handle the ball to give Celtic the penalty, hence the general btl delight on YT when Celtic were pumped in Europe on Wednesday.

I know a Bournemouth fan and I have been telling him about Paulsen. He is delighted but also says they are well covered in that department. Wonder if we could negotiate a permanent deal

He let the St Mirren #8 away with murder, 6 fouls before be brandished the yellow card in the 90th minute. Warned there goalie of the 5 second rule at least 8 times failed to book him. An absolute moron of a guy, and miles off it at this level.

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.

We were knackered after 30 mins and St Mirren took full advantage of that. Closing us down quickly and harassing us . The keeper was brilliant all game The way we pushed on for the last 10min to get the equilizer was heroic . It was obvious some were out on their feet after the last three weeks exploits . Good result but it should have been 4-0 early doors. Don't you just love a last minute goal.

Utd had great result yesterday so will be on a high but lets get right behind the lads and release the Kanga!!
