Answers please ...... Does our manager know his preferred forward line ? Does he just swap them around hoping to hit the jackpot ? Ayunga, Mandron, Olusanya, Grieve, Nahmani and Jamieson- Is it 'perm any 2 from 6' and hope for the best ? Does bringing in Grieve for Nahmani improve our chances of a goal ?

Rollercoaster game. I probably should have had the balls to hang on for the full £51 but I crapped it when I heard there was 5 minutes of stoppage time.

We need to score soon - this has a deja vu look of the Ross County collapse .......

OK, my time to 'fess-up', I've put St Mirren on my 5-team accumulator bet for tonight, so I am the cock that cursed us tonight. Sorry everyone.

Ah right. The Govan Arms was probably a clue.

Great photo shull, I love pics of cobbled streets, but where is it ? I'm struggling to remember those two pubs in Paisley. Gilmour St ?

Our worst result in the league so far this season. Robinson has a job on his hands over the next few weeks to prevent a collapse in form and a slide down the table. Crucial December ahead.

We had to dip a bit deeper into our squad today with neither Baccus nor Strain available so 3 points is a satisfactory outcome from a fairly unspectacular performance. By the look of Taylor's injury we may be without him for a game or two, and possibly Kiltie too, so our strength in depth could be tested further in Dingwall. Gogic my MOM today.

Dead right HSS. At my age I'm easily confused. Were they both around the same era ?

Was he ? I thought he played for Arthurlie. Maybe I'm confusing him with someone else.

The answer to the question posed in this thread title probably hinges on the January window and the ambitions of our board. Our current squad, with our current management team, is certainly capable of a top-6 finish, potentially 4th or 5th. However, with a few key players whose contracts terminate in June 24 (Baccus, Strain, others ?) there will be a strong temptation for the board to sell some of these key assets in January rather than lose them for zilch next summer. This attitude, while disappointing, is also understandable as any transfer income gained could be the key to the development of our squad for 2014-15. Sadly economic reality dictates that St Mirren will always be a "selling" club. Should the board opt to sell or should they aim to achieve the optimal finishing place in this season? We can only wait and see.

One point from a possible 9 is worrying, but I support the manager's decision today to change to a more attacking line-up when 0-2 down at HT. A passive approach would never salvage anything at that stage. A lot of arses will be getting kicked tonight for sure.

For the first time in years our wee group of pensioners could have a pre-match natter without competing against the noisy PA system. Oh joy !!!

I hope none of our young supporters try to sneak into the stadium with flares tonight. Especially flares with turn-ups. So 1970's.

The stink from the "works" at Fulbar Road next to that 16th hole will never leave my nostrils. The residents nearby must have been driven mad by that putrid stench.

A nice midweek hat-trick. Thanks Celtic ..... Thanks Celtic ..... Thanks Celtic .....

St Johnstone could have played until next Thursday without creating a goalscoring opportunity. Did you ever feel that our goal was under threat at any point today ?

Agree with posts praising Mandron's composed finishes but IMO opinion our MOM today is a toss-up between Gogic and Taylor. So solid in the middle of defence. I can't see Dunne back in our starting XI unless injury / suspension give him an opportunity. I love watching our goal celebrations - it tells us everything about the team morale / unity. I am concerned, however, about the amount of money the club is spending on win-bonuses.

6-0 ? Pah !! I hope Robinson sends our lot onto the park with an instruction to aim for a 12-0 victory to reclaim our 2nd place in the league. 😁

Jeezo. That's a rotten shame.

Good man Shull.

At the risk of being categorised as a Pedant (ok, I'm a Pedant), can I just express how much I despise this inappropriate thread title (Israel v Palestine). This is not a game ! Can a Mod please change the thread title ?? This is not a fecking cup tie or a league fixture. This is an all-out war and a humanitarian crisis where thousands of innocent civilians, men women children and babies, are being slaughtered by Hamas and by Israeli missiles. This is not a contest where one side gains three points and the other side goes home disappointed but still have the hope of picking up three points next week. There has to be a more accurate thread title for a discussion / debate of such seriousness. Surely ?

Bet365 currently 11-2 the good guys. 2-5 the wee arra peepul. 7-2 draw.

Time to back down again Robert, eh ?

So, you haven't read the quotes from Brand's two books then. And it's Savile, one 'L'.
