Isn't it? I wonder why.

This was up there with 1987 and 2013. An exciting topsy turvy game and good goals. Thanks a million to all players, manager and coaching staff who made this special day possible over a difficult season for the club.

You could possibly have guessed this would be the lineup.

Ironically this is as well as we've played all season - Dundee don't even deserve a draw on this performance.,,

We are playing very well and Boyd Munce has been exceptional.

Feel sorry for Taylor - up until the goal he was possibly our top performer.

Another good performance from the Saonts - we have no passengers tonight and are winning a lot of the mid-field battles. Surely we can't win this one from here? After all we are St Mirren and just had back-to-back wins against Sevco.

One of Saints best full backs in my lifetime. Apparently Cammy's family ran a vegetable nursery in South Lanarkshire and Cammy was well known for bringing in fresh produce for his team mates and other staff. RIP Cammy

A win tomorrow and we're back up to 6th and equal with Hibs on points in 5th. Has there ever been such little difference between 3rd and 12th? Having said that, we will have to improve our performance to get 3 points tomorrow, although the effort and commitment is never in question.

The quality of football on display was junior standard - and St Mirren were arguably the poorer of the 2 teams. Even St Johnstone were better than these two. It was brutal to watch and not a good advert for Scottish football. Thank goodness the BBC (as is their practice and policy) only show English games throughout the UK, and thus saved our embarrassment.

There seems to be general consensus re lack of creativity and lack of basic passing skills. I thought this was apparent on Saturday against the bottom team in the league, who showed more creative link up play and running off the ball. I made this point on here on Saturday but was slagged off by some. St Johnstone had Elliot Watt (No44) controlling the centre of midfield with the aid of his team mates running creatively off the ball into spaces and also ex Buddie Graham Carey chipping in with his pin-point defence splitting passing (similar to John McGinn in that regard). Fraser Taylor has the potential to play a similar role to Watt but only with the cooperation of his team mates. Noone else at present offers that option.

I must have apparently.

We have a team full of huffers and puffers - plenty of effort and team spirit - but as SR admits himself lacking in creativity. This includes basic passing to each other and running off the ball. I thought St Johnstone were a class above us in that regard. As someone else pointed out, James Scott, when he came on, was significantly more of a threat than our other regular strikers. We will have to pay more attention to quality and skill if we wish to improve.
