Absolutely gutted like the rest of you. The chances we missed today are a real sore one. St Johnstone we’re quicker and stronger today, but other than Jack’s wonder save from a the header and the opener, all the Fakes chances were from range. We missed better chances and that’s why we’re all greetin into our beers. Fine margins. 
Some of the long runs that the Fakes made from their own half unchallenged were hard to watch. We definitely need more bite and and legs in the middle for next season.  
Looks like big Jon, possibly McGrath (if we get a decent offer), JDH, Connolly, Flynn (massive talent but body starting to pack in) and Durmus could be ofski. We need to try and try and keep Durmus. Thought he was excellent today, but needs to play further forward in front of a back 4. 
Jim needs to lift the team and do everything in his power to get 7th. Could be the difference between 2 new players in prize money. 
The one silver lining is we don’t need to panic about rushing through our UEFA licence now.

Agree I really hope we can keep Durmus, I can’t even remember reading if he has been offered a contract. I also would like to keep Flynn another year, he’d be first name on my team sheet when fit. A good pre season working with the physio and junior and hopefully we could squeeze another year out him.

Erhahon is only 19 and still has a lot to learn. He lacks consistency, but has a great shield/turn on him the keep the ball (like J McGinn)and shrug players off. He can pick a good pass and finished the offside Obika knockdown well. His decision making can be frustrating at times but he’s good at playing the ball out from the back under pressure. He’s also scored our goal of the season so far. I think he could develop into a great player for us. 
McPherson I’m not too sure about. 
We’d have won that with a full squad tonight. A Brophy or Dennis playing off Obika instead of Erwin, a McGrath or JDH in midfield instead of McPherson. The squad is tired and thin. I wonder if Jim has his eyes on the Livvy game waiting longer to make subs.
Still think we shaded it tonight.

Puts a whole new perspective on the injury. Some of the challenges Celtic got away with (McGregor & Brown and this) without caution is an embarrassment... then to concede that pen?
Watching the ref at the rugby explain every decision was great yesterday. Wish we held our refs accountable. 
 
listened to JG on the radio and his press conference and I have to say, I agree, the ref system in the Scottish game is way below par. I’m not saying they are cheats. Just very shite! 

This is doing the rounds on twitter for the away kit. Don’t know if it’s genuine??

Latest update from the club is season tickets for next season will be on sale from Monday. This is in way of allowing people that want to financially help, being able to do so with a tangible benefit and to support the payment of staff at this time. 
Club has also said staff will get paid 100% of wages during this time, with them making up the difference from the job retention scheme. Fantastic message from SMFC. 

This thread is a great example of what has killed this forum.
No normal person wants to spend their precious time wading through this type of  nonsense on every thread and who can blame them.
A handful of posters have systematically destroyed it over the last few years.
Some might wonder if it was deliberate. If so, well done chaps. I think you've finally succeeded.

United Debt is 25% more than our annual turnover ...………… player wages going thru the roof and Neilson assured that he keeps his job even if they don't go up this year ?
Dundee is certainly the City of Discovery   Disaster...………...
If this American leaves them they will be next Sevco -
 
I blame our Goalie

Can he play right back? Anyone would be an improvement on O’Donnell.

Hmmm, hope wee Junior has been doing shooting practice this week.

How low is this from Accies?? Their underhand tactics to win or scrape a draw at any eye-bleeding or cost is in evidence here. Any shady tactic to get an advantage.
Our team talk is already taken care of by them for the next time we play them.

Looks accidental. Be really unlucky to get done for that, but as said above, with the muppets at The SFA who knows?? Is there not a ruling that if the ref sees it and took action (yellow) it’s deemed as dealt with?

Concussion can be a devil. Recently took my wife to hospital after she banged her head. The doctor diagnosed concussion and suggested that it might take up to six weeks to be clear of a variety of symptoms, particularly poor spatial awareness and speed of thought and reaction. Each of these are obviously vital for a pro footballer. Can't imagine that he will be out for that length of time though. 

Was speaking to him briefly outside the ground on Saturday and he said with a bit of frustration there were strict rules about coming back after a head-knock so must defo concussion. Didn’t get a timescale from him as we nearly got knocked down by the Accies team bus.

There was no stamp or kick out and it was more a balance issue, he didn't even look to see where the defender was. 
 I think Brian Rice's reaction at the end says it all, he shakes his head and almost commiserates with McAllister but it's the SFA we're talking about so who knows what the decision will be!!
