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....

The good thing about SOD is that he can cover pretty much anywhere across the backline. I dont expect he will start a lot of games if everyone is fit, but he could get a lot of minutes off the bench when others run out of steam, get injured / booked. His leadership in the dressing room and on the training pitch will also be vital given we have such a young squad.

Can only echo what others have said. We held up well against Freiburg when it was 11 v 11. They were still the better team in both games, but they were mostly unable to make their class show until our numbers were effected. No complaints about last nights red card, as clear as they come. But I did think we shoulda had a penalty for hand ball in the first half. It looked clear as day from where we were standing. Proud of the team and the efforts they put in. I think we have the makings of a very good side. Hopefully things will start to settle down a bit now and we will get to see the best of them.

Hard to give it to anyone other than Paulsen last night, although I thought Seb did a power of running, albeit it wasnt enough to effect the game.

Im not in favour of a blanket ban on any group of supporters. No one fan should suffer because of the action of others. However, that works 2 ways. We cant be far off from UEFA starting to intervene with our ticket allocations for away European nights. That would be galling for most. As soon as I saw the flares last night, my heart sank as the club will be forced to act in a way that can only harm the current feelgood factor within the club. Time for those responsible to take some responsibility.

You were the very person that used to complain about our record at Ibrox and Parkhead because we had the wrong mentality and never went into those games believing we could win. Whats the difference here?

Oh well, I guess our night out in Palma isnt happening! Been stuck on the ground at Edinburgh Airport for 4 hours. The cludgie truck has broken down behind us and they cant move it! Catching our 6.30am flight to Basel now the main concern!

Pity it didnt catch on last Thursday!

If you have more information, you could always explain and put the usual suspects right?

Heading out tomorrow afternoon from Edinburgh via Palma! Overnighter in the Shamrock Bar on the Paseo Maritimo, incoming!

Im generally a supporter of the Bois as I do like the colour and noise they bring to the stadium, and I was young once myself! But, there does come a point where they need to wise up and take some responsibility for their actions, or at least reign in their behaviour. Id prefer if it was self policing, rather than enforced, but its costing the club serious money now, and although they have payed off some of their own fines in the past, there is no way they can afford to pay these! Its not just the €100k to UEFA here though, the club have agreed to cover the €74k for the digital advertising hoarding that was damaged in Helsinki. We all love our team, and we can all lose the run of ourselves at times, but you can still make a decision not to go over the wall or to take pyro into the ground. I hope these conversations are taking place within the various groups involved, as Id hate it to get to the stage where people are being banned from the stadium.

I think we have another year option after the end of this season.

Id bite your hand off for €7m. I would imagine if the rumour had any credibility it would be a done deal. Cant imagine the club haggling over much at that fee. Happy enough for Maswanhise to still be here after the window closes. Would surely be a motivator for him to get a move in January?

Not sure how much knowledge you need to have to form an opinion, and I wouldnt want to stop anyone from having theirs, or indeed offering it up. But I do think you should be willing to consider changing your view in the face of information that may cast doubt on your own. Debate is good, or so they say! 😍😍😍

On what basis? They were both reported to have muscle injuries. If they are back training, they are maybe ok for light running, but not contact training with the squad? I think most of us expect Stama to return to Australia at some point, but its surely too early to be calling time on Eythor.
