Interesting that Falkirk is charging £14 for Division 1 games. Looking forward to watching the game on Alba later. No classic but a wins a win.

Great result and another clean sheet. Will be watching it on Alba. How dod Chapman and Maguire play?

Not a day or location for trying to play great football.

A 3 - 0 can be awarded, although that’s not immediately clear. However your suggested outcome would not be fair to us. We had to suffer disruption, financial loss and also a fixture backlog. Apart from Accies no other team suffered as a result of this call off. Even then Accies were given more warning than us and therefore less disruption. A lot of course depends on what St Mirren’s failures actually were.

I don't think we do. If we do have other keepers on the books they won't be match fit nor will they be older than about 16 but there are others who know the youth set up better than me, who are better placed to answer your question.

Good post Goggles. I think many, possibly even most, folk have breached the Covid 19 guidelines in some way. Mostly in a very minor way though. However as you say a "significant minority" are simply not prepared to do so ie large scale house parties, refusal to wear face coverings, refusal to self isolate or quarantine. Surprisingly, its sometimes those you'd least expect to breach guidelines or be irresponsible. Its costing all of us especially the elderly and vulnerable. I don't doubt that a significant proportion of infections are down to selfishness, although financial considerations do come into it to some extent. Not being Political but you're right about Thatcherism and you've been able to see evidence on these very fora for some years now - "I'm all right Jack" & "Whats in it for me?" That said these fora have also shown the best in our society from time to time. I can't see fans back in grounds for months to come maybe even until next season. We all need hope though to pull us through.

Thats what Livingston will do. Its certainly not a surface to try and play silky football on.

Sorry clumsy choice of words. I meant to say, that within the laws of the game, we were allowed 5 subs and we only used 4.

Irrespective of who we did bring on, we could legally have brought on another sub, a youngster. I can see a case for Crawford, although he's unavailable next weekend, as OTF says. Hastie - what has he done to justify bringing him on?

Lots of posiitves to be taken from yesterday's game but I still wasn't comfortable with our defence. Ross Stewart is a handful but he could easily have notched 4 goals in a short space of time. We're not comfortable with high balls into our box and are vulnerable down the wings. A better team would have punished us. That said, we've had to contend with alot of defensive injuries this season and haven't been close to fielding our best rearguard. I've never been a Devante Cole fan; he's been ok in my book nothing more, but yesterday he made us tick up front with his physical presence and constant movement. More of that please.

Would agree with that. We could even have brought on one or two with 5 minutes or less to go and that's being cautious.

Don't forget he's a central defender.

Great win, 4 goals and a clean sheet. Defensively suspect but clinical finishing won the day! Watt my MOTM.

Great header by Big Dec and finish by Lang.

Stewart could have had a hat trick there.

Its certainly leaving the midfield short and they're struggling as it is.

Great to be a goal up but we're not playing that well. A nicely crafted and taken goal though. We need to defend the wings better and the midfield is struggling; perhaps because of the formation? Could be along second half unless we up our game.

We need to bottle up the wings...no point in making it easy for County.

This has been the poorest streaming yet.

4 breaks in transmission so far.

We’re down to the bare bones defensively and Ross County will know it.

In every organisation there will be some complacent and/or reckless staff; thats just human nature.

Presumably though the postponed/cancelled games would still go ahead? As Dennyc says though the powers that be would have to be careful not to disadvantage clubs like ourselves through packed game schedules?

I've read his comments over and again and come to the conclusion that he hasn't accused St Mirren of any wrongdoing in fact he explicitly says so. There's no court in the land would say so. He does mention St Mirren and impropriety in the same article but that's far from saying they're guilty. It's also possible that he knows something we don't. Should he have made these comments? Probably not but there's nought wrong with what he said.

There are also many reasons why there might be multiple outbreaks at any given club many of which involve impropriety. In short we simply don’t know as we don’t have the facts. Are you saying that’s it’s impossible for a club to work the system? My take on Mo’s comments is that he said there’s potential for a club to work the system for their benefit. I don’t think that’s unreasonable. It’s a fact. In short I’m sitting on the fence until we are given the facts if we ever are.
