Miserable weather, miserable night, miserable football, miserable result. Move on to Saturday

Always great to read a football forum thread that discusses football [emoji22]

Crucial result in the face of appalling weather which affected game. We look far more solid. Flynn, Ethan and Baird had excellent games. Muzak and popescu also very effective. However, Livingston handled conditions better and we were profligate giving away the ball. Thought Stephen mcginn struggled perhaps not fully fit. Most important thing is we are still on touch despite Wednesday result by Hamilton. I will not be surprised if we are still relegated but we look much better overall and capable of at least going down with a fight.

Playing at home we will be up against a team who sits back unlike last two away fixtures. Different mindset and approach required to undo a stubborn defence and we need to convert chances and avoid being caught on the break. This is the type of game that will define this season for us. Almost a must win, certainly can't afford to lose it

I was hoping the cousin was wrong about magennis injury. Happy if Oran is saying he is a couple of weeks away from fitness as he would make a difference in the run in

Not according to his cousin. He said he was finished for the season but l hope this is true

Cousin was speaking to my brother in law in gym says Kyle has bad limp at present. Not having much luck injury wise

Been told today via reliable source that recurrence of hamstring problem has ended his season

Hope springs eternal. Well done saints. Really good point and Dundee result makes it even more important

Woeful first half with Dundee united all over us. Second was better but Dundee sat back a bit with a two goal cushion. Paul mcginn should have been sent off. Ok tactics from week to week flummox me. And there were no programmes in the west stand

Sorry this was original post, Mullen and nazon were missing from the quote l read

Only issue is the lack of two players to make a starting lineup of eleven

Banana skin or opportunity to build some much needed confidence. It's the hope that kills you but still going for the latter. Come on saints give us some hope for the rest of the season

Wasn't a great match. Lots of aimless punts, poor passing and mistakes everywhere from both teams. We shaded the first half with a couple of good plays and passed up a couple of great chances in second, again down to mistakes by hibs. Overall as game progressed we got overrun and overstretched. Still feel new players need time to bed in. At least Hamilton and Dundee lost as well. Motherwell game another big one looming now.

Tonight's patter was the usual on radio Scotland. All it allows is for pundits to try and get a reaction. If anyone should have been annoyed by it would the focus not be more on the suggestion that big gus was brought in with the clear intention of being there to take over as soon as? Filling airtime more like and trying to show balance by mentioning some of the diddy teams instead of their usual worship of old firm
