The biggest mistake tonight was not Gogic's but the VAR officials'.
Unbelievable incompetency.

Thanks AB & HSS
However, I access Sky Sport via Now TV and their website shows no trace of the game being televised
At last found the link - just a senior moment!

Game is supposed to be on Sky Sports but can't trace any sign of this.
Can anyone throw any light on whether this is the case?

For just once for such a crucial match - let's not not do this the St Mirren way!

Hopefully we can still turn this around.
However, turning a blind eye to our obvious weaknesses, does not help the situation.
What we do have is grit and team spirit - so anything is possible with this group of players as they have proven on many occasions this season.

Can our leaky defence and powder puff attack still win this?

One thing is for certain - if we keep playing the way we are now, we should finish in the top 4.
Not bad for the 11th biggest club in Scotland!
-
And according to this website, we have the 21st biggest football stadium in Scotland:-
https://football.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Scottish_stadiums_by_capacity
So we're the 11th biggest club with the 21st biggest stadium - yet in the largest town in Scotland.
-
According to this poll in the BBC, with over 17,000 votes cast, we're not in the top ten biggest clubs in Scotland.

So forget about finishing fourth this season and striving above your station!

Celtic being outplayed but 2 goals up.
Good fortune rather than quality the reason.
-
Great performance in first half from the Buddies.
Celtic are lucky not to be 2 or 3 goals behind let alone 1 goal up.
When will they get their first penalty? Answers on a postcard.

According to this article in 'The Celtic Star' our fans are not turning up for this one.
https://thecelticstar.com/celtics-must-win-task-in-paisley-st-mirren-ticket-sales-so-low/
Interesting to note that it describes the SMISA Stadium as "tiny" and suggesting that it will be "half full". The "tiny" bit can't be argued against.
However, even more interesting, is that they suggest the reason for this is "St Mirren fans seem reluctant to buy their tickets for a Scottish Cup tie that is not on their season tickets".
Whereas the truth is the two ugly sisters track record, deters many decent fans from other normal clubs in Scotland (not just St Mirren) from exposing themselves to this vile sectarianism.

Great effort and performance (in the second half) - congratulations to the whole team - everyone gave their all.
Were many of our regular posters at the game - I was in Inverness and had to settle for PPV.
One stat that does not give me pleasure - we are only at page 2 after such an important result.
I'm assuming it's not because of the team's performance - more disenchantment with the forum.

I see youth are being given an opportunity to sit on the bench today!

The media, in general, understandably focus on attracting large audiences.
This does not just apply to Sky, but also to the BBC (who should show more public responsibility as a public broadcasting authority), and other TV channels.
Newspapers also follow the same line and that is why I stopped buying The Herald years ago. The ugly sisters get 10 times more coverage than the remainder of the clubs put together.
Small countries like Scotland suffer as a result of this commercially-driven mindset.
Unless there is a change in this attitude, things will continue to decline in Scotland.
How to change attitudes in the media is the big question we face.

Looks like someone else's grandson has been let go.
My grandson is only 5 years old - so we're not at that stage yet!
I was just reflecting on the fact that there was no one from the academy who featured last night and in recent months only 2 or 3 have had fleeting opportunities to display their talents in the first team. Even Jim Goodwin gave youth more of an opportunity to shine.

We don't look like we will bring this back - it's obviously one of 'these St Mirren' nights.
