St Johnstone came to sit in and try and nick something, and if Kane wasn’t shite they might have. However, we persevered and found a way through their banks of five. Says a lot that they were parking the bus, we weren’t firing on all cylinders, but we still strolled it 3-0. I think some folk are failing to grasp how big a deal that is, with all the talk of changes that need to be made. 13 of the 14 players on the park for us today are responsible for the crazy run we’ve been on since the cup game, they all deserve credit. Main was instrumental in two of the goals today, and his hold up play was really good in the second half. I liked how we stuck to our plan and didn’t resort to punting it into the box, which lead to three really well worked goals. The counter attack for Frears almost second was clinical. Dunne strolled the game, and Aldred was Aldred, their partnership allows us to do everything else.

I’m not getting the Main hate. I appreciate he isn’t scoring goals however he is instrumental to how we are performing at the moment. His link up play is improving every week and his flick for Frears goal was class. A lone striker in this role has to be more than just a goal scorer and I certainly think that he is proving to be an excellent foil for our wide players and drags defenders all over the place to create space for the rest of the team. Seems he is the whipping boy for the perennially unhappy amongst us now.

Weird one. Great result but the match was howlin' and our overall performance was pretty poor. Substitutes changed the game by actually giving us some width and it was a nice finish by Frear. Pretty much everything before that though was bad. The full backs had their worst games for ages and the wingers just didn't get in the match at all. Main as usual worked away, held the ball up but showed little striking ability and was a blunt knife. As a result it was looking a 0-0 all day or even a 0-1 with St. Johnstone nicking it. Shout out to Mark Gillespie who's probably saved the match for us with another penalty save.

If he is on 14k a week then I am delighted. What that means is that if they can pay that to a player that is no more than a good prospect then it will not be long until they are bankrupt again and we will be rid once again of this despicable football club.

Weeyin, you are being deliberately obtuse! The point was an acceptable offer PRIOR to his first team exposure ie last year! As I myself have pointed out, an offer of an additional year and an extra £200 a week made last summer, with the promise of a new contract offer should he meet his targets would have been snapped up by Hastie and would have protected our investment, all for an additional sum of £10k! But we decided to spunk probably 5 times that sum on Connor fucking Sammon instead!

We are now 23 points clear of play off position with 7 games to go. We are safe!!!!! Sorry glass always half empty.

Great result and good to see Chris Cadden back looking sharp and strong.

Another bonus is that we are now officially safe from relegation or the playoff spot, so the budget planning for another year in the premiership can begin

We need to get the ball on the ground and pass it quicker around these cloggers. They're only intent on stopping the play at every turn. How they've only one in the book is beyond me, the referee is having a mare. Was it a pen? Couldn't see great?

I think the ref left his yellow card at home

as long as he doesn't let himself get hurt b4 his big move ??? ps hope I am allowed to answer you again

If we get 9 points from our next 3 games, Robinson should get manager of the year.

Hope your right

I did wonder about that. IF Jake Hastie was to sign a PCA with another club, it occurred to me that management at FP might "protect" him. IF again, he was to sign for another club, I would bear him no ill will but would not play him and instead play lads who would be with us for next season to test them out and give them experience.

Has Hastie been confirmed anywhere? Seen this from Scott Mullen, only 3 hours ago.

Well done the club on signing up Livingstone. Must have been some feat given how apparently nigh-on impossible it is to tie down academy players.

Make them acceptable offers with the promise of an increase if they make the step up? Hastie had been at the club for 10 years, and had no experience above League One and Championship level. Last month he was saying "It's like a dream come true,I came up through the academy from the age of nine and this has been my dream to break through. I just want to keep doing that. "I don't want to go anywhere, I want to stay here, keep my feet on the ground and keep progressing." We were clearly in a pretty strong negotiating position, absolutely mental that you seem to think Hastie wouldn't have signed on if we offered him anywhere near reasonable terms at the start of the season.

Yip that is more realistic Heard it is £4K a week on a 4 year deal

£14k a week. I seriously doubt it. £14k a month maybe.
