St Johnstone

[SteelmaninOZ]

Credit to all the players on a yellow for not diving in & giving away daft fouls that would have ruled them out of the final.

 

Aye that wiz a good plan frae McCall

[Paisley Steelman]

Hutch was faultless but for me Murphy lead the attacks superbly, finally looked like a complete player rather than his usual wee boy against men. Hopefully he now has the confidence in his own abilitilies to go on from strength to strength.

 

'Mon the 'Well

[rambunctious]

Craggs for me...purely for his celebration at the end

[Tweed]

Hutchinson and Murphy were immense but I'm giving to Francis Jeffers. His movement in the first half was unreal - he created goal 2 with a pass and then he ran meaning the defenders got all caught up in who to watch and gave Murphy the space, great knockdown for the third and every time we attacked he was dragging defenders here, there and everywhere.

Murphy gets my vote

[Yir Elder]

Everyone did their job very effectively for the team, but for me the stand-out was Jamie Murphy, who was a constant threat to the Saints defence but never neglected his defensive responsibilities. Nice goal too!

 

 

[huggins]

Murphy for me too. Sadly can't see him here much longer if he keeps this up.

[KirkySuperSub]

Craigan for me...for his goal, for his interview and just to stick it right up the prick that was sitting behind me slating his every touch for the full game!

 

"Craigan's a liability"...boom.....1-0....."Up Ye!"...!!

[Waldo]

eleven stalwart warriors.

Craigan for me too. I think McCall must have told him to keep it simple, as you could see he was itching to punt it for one of the front 4 to go chase it, but instead everytime passed it to either Hammell or Hutchinson. What a way to score your first goal in five years too. Although a lot has been said about the keeping for it, I'm not sure the keeper would have saved it if he stayed on his line. Fantastic header.

 

His volley at the end was priceless - I think some of that was through his lack of punts up the park all game.

 

 

Special mentions to everyone else though - Hutchinson seems to be getting better everytime I see him, although took a while for him to find his footing in the first half as Saints dominated in the air - winning a few headers in ourbox but after that he again cruised through the game.

 

I seen on one of the other team boards (think it was United) that we have the third best team in the SPL and they were thankful for our mid-season problems. We might look at it as nonsense but on any given day we could give anyone a game

The superb Jamie Murphy gets ma vote.

:laugh: :laugh:

 

 

I'd forgotten about that. Was a belter.... Oooft have it!

 

PS went for Randolph. Had some great saves at key times which meant we were never under any real pressure.

[CoF]

Murphy. Every time he gets the ball you can almost hear defenders going "oh fuck....".

 

 

Aye, whit's happened to him? McCall's got him in the form of his life, just seems to have so much confidence these days.

[gunn]

Jamie!!! Well done son!!!!!

[Chris]

Randolph. Could have been a completely different game if it wasn't for his crucial saves.

I thought it was a magnificent team performance, but I'm going to go for Lasley. He never put a foot wrong and if he had scored when he was put through it would have been the icing on the cake. I hope he stays fit for the final.
