Lord Pityme Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Three points, and a clean sheet... we're on our way! today that gap in midfield was exposed time and again as Ict counter attacked at will, perhaps lacking skill. Just hope Ross either is close to a signing to slot in there, or sticks a fit Gary Irvine in there to shore us up. McShane fell back to his old, mainly anonymous ways again.

Guest TPAFKATS Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 As well as having a great Refereeing performance.......... Willie Collum .... Roddy Mcmillan to St Mirren FC Fans4 hrs · WILLIE COLLUM TODAYS REFEREE ..I just thought I’d tell you what Willie did today with the four Saints mascots. As you probably know I look after our match day mascots , a job I have loved doing now for over 30 years. Most referees say hello to the boys and girls who are mascots and leading out the teams. Today Willie said to me ‘bring them in to the dressing room’. When the four boys walked in Willie and the assistant refs said hello to them and them Willie brought out a bag and said to the boys , ‘ this is from the European games I have refereed , chose something ‘. The boys were delighted and each got a momento of the day to keep . Willie often does that with the mascots. Just thought I’d let you know how kind a man he is . By the way , I thought he had a good game today ! Did one of the mascots choose wullie's yellow and red cards by mistake [emoji848] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given all the junk that was talked about him when he signed I think he's proven all the doubters wrong.

We got right back on top of Inverness and pushed them back for last 15. They had the odd break but overall we dominated last 15. McShane is the weaklink in midfield. Decent player but if we are to win the league he needs to be on the bench Edited January 7, 2018 by lenziebud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 A 1-0 scoreline made the game look close but we were streets ahead of ICT. Totally outplayed them in the first half with some lovely football. But we have to change from the Arsenal style of football to the Man City style and stop trying to walk the ball into the net. Sammy saved our bacon in the second half with some fine saves but we created far more openings in their defence but simply refused to shoot. I think Liam Smith is a great attacking full-back but please Liam have a shot when you in the penalty box directly in front of goal. Great performances from everyone. Special mention to Stelios. I thought his days were numbered after the red card incident but he has been superb in defence and offers a great attacking option. The workrate of Cammy Smith is incredible but MoM for me was Captain McGinn. And Davis is without doubt the best defender in this League and would walk into most Premiership defences.

By all accounts, like you suggest, we should have slaughtered them. A 1-0 scoreline is always a worry as it only takes one bit of luck, or decent play, and it's 1-1 but the important thing for me is we're playing really well overall. Someone will get a thumping soon IMO and it could be next week, although I might prefer if it's Aberdeen.

proudtobeabuddy Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I'd take 1-0 nerve wrackers (in our favour) all season ... if we keep winning from now till May then the title is ours ...simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Lothian Saint Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Another good day at the office. Thought McGinn was the man. The McGinn spin was played to perfection today. He always takes the ball and spins around before charging off or laying on a pass. Thought he was MOM but great to see so many different opinions. The whole team were excellent. I met one of the players close relatives on the train home who said the players deserved extra credit because a flu bug had been doing the rounds and only 6 players took training on Thursday as a result. If true, that may explain the lethargic second halves in the past two games. If that's the case things can only get better when the whole team gets back to their peak. From my seat I had a perfect view of the postage stamp and if that Stellios shot had went in that would have been Goal of the season. What an effort. Well that's my spin on it.

doonhamer Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 McGinn was top man yesterday. Would be great to see some footage of the ICT claimed goal yesterday. We were sitting in line with the goals and it looked as if ICT might have had a decent shout. Samson made some incredible saves yesterday but he seemed to go to sleep for 10 minutes around that incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum Gilhooley Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 So far on this thread we have had MOTM calls for Baird, Davis, Stelios, Smith , McGinn , Magennis & Samson & Reilly got the official MOTM.That can’t be right , we are a one man team !

stlucifer Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 In the end a deserved win and we controlled much of the game but it's still a concern that we seem to be playing well in fits and starts. Not as bad as recent games but it's still present. I know you can't expect to play well for a full ninety but that's the time you need a strong resilient midfield. We seem to give that area up at those times. Man of the match? For the importance of the big save and his all round performance. Samson shades it. A reflection of the way we played, when we played, is that more than half the team have someone voting for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samson made some incredible saves yesterday but he seemed to go to sleep for 10 minutes around that incident. I was looking diagonally across from more or less behind the linesman. I thought it was a decent claim as well. My opinion may have been affected by the scooping motion of samsons claw which went way behind the line to start with.I'd certainly have been shouting for if had been Ridgers. The linesman couldn't give it though as he wasn't standing around the corner flag looking across. He was at least 10 metres up the field from the defenders when the ball was crossed.

DougJamie Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Great result!!! AND- Wee Robbo didn't disappoint- what a fanny- " the linesman was right not to give a goal"- Eh what goal. Its a bit diff when the ball comes off the underside of the bar and then clearly is in from Sammy clawing the ball away, I am pretty def that the ball was on the line and not all of it over it, but in Robbos mind they had a goal not given? In his head they are Top of League, talk about delusional. Wish we played them every weeks played 3 Won 3 9 Pts 7 goals, thanks Robbo look forward to our next match, which under is stewardship will def be his last match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a good game , similar to the last game we played against them , with both teams creating chances , but leaving themselves open . Would be quite happy with us signing Liam Polworth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
