Thanks for that Shull.
Proud of John as well as Stephen and Paul - they are all 'made in St Mirren' and are a credit to the club we all love.
But John was always something special.

I've not seen his comments on Sportscene yet,  But what a statement to make about Scottish Football when 7 of his starting 11 and 2 of his 3 subs.. come from that tier of English football... hopefully someone pointed that out to him 
Wouldn't it be great if he meets a true Scottish team in Raith Rovers with 10 outfield Scottish players and a Polish Goalkeeper and his team get their arse kicked in fact the Scottish cup would be even better as I hope Raith win the championship 

Adams' comments. Sorry, I thought that was clear. I was irritated by the person you commented; it was a perfectly good post which I will like now, if I haven't already done so.  

My post or Adams' comments?
I was only quoting what he said on camera but I don't agree with what he was saying - probably in the heat of the moment.
However, because of the resources disparity between clubs in Scotland, most games are set up with the 'poorer' club 'keeping their shape' and making themselves difficult to beat. There are 5 or 6 clubs who are considerably better off than the rest and the result is most games are one-sided and relatively boring to watch. The emphasis at most Scottish clubs is on defence and holding the midfield.
It is only when these same 5 or 6 clubs play in Europe that they get found out because often the boot is on the other foot and the opposing teams are actually primed to playing attacking football, without necessarily leaving themselves open at the back.
After all, when was the last time Scotland produced an international class forward?

Adams' ill-judged post match criticism is hardly likely to motivate his own players - but opposing teams might have a point to prove when playing Ross County..

Both teams played better against the wind - I lost count of the number of times passes were overhit especially by Motherwell.
Derek Adams was slagging off the generally poor standard of Scottish football on Sportscene and said that the team he left in the English second division (Morecambe) was "a hundred times better" than his current team in the top flight of Scottish football. He was obviously including the Buddies in his criticism since we just played Ross County last week.

Guess we'll be competing with Livi v Kilmarnock for last spot on Sportscene.
I thought we started ok against the wind but struggled to repeat the performance in the second half, with the wind at our backs.
Justice was served with our penalty miss - Motherwell had the better scoring chances in the second half playing against the wind.

While the 'new faces' - Nahmani and Small - freshened things up, a few of the 'old regulars' played their part, especially Kiltie, Gogic and Tanser.
And 'the' save from Hemming could qualify for save of the season.
A special word for Nahmani - he looks as if he could be a quality signing, but too soon to say, as he has been given so little opportunity so far.
Also, Alec Greive did not even come on as a sub, but he too, I'm sure, will prove his worth in the longer term.
