End of season, nothing to play for to fare today. Cannot read too much into what we saw. Thought Taylor was really good first half, despite other posts thoughts. O Hara was very tidy. Urminsky was very disappointing. Good to see Tait back , looked up for it. Rangers went through the motions and had three proper shots all day, unfortunately our man is not up to the standards of Carson and needs to improve to be a realistic back up.
Overall a fantastic season though and we need to appreciate that as we may wait a long time to see a repeat, depending on who we lose and who we bring in next season. Hopefully Main will be staying and O Hara is not sold. -
Great result. Given Hearts recent run l felt we had a good chance of a result, especially after last week’s performance, but a win was more than could be hoped for. Could not ask for more going into final two games before split
-
Excellent first ten minutes then we huffed and puffed against a really poor team for rest of the game, albeit creating enough opportunities to bury them. Gallagher and Flynn were excellent. Main put in a shift. Could not believe BBC thinking Watt was man of match. We need to be more clinical up front. All said and done pleased that we put in a shift and won given the injuries we have. Top 6 still up for grabs, but it will be tough

Agree with many comments. Felt like two points dropped though over the piece a draw was probably correct. Carson made at least four excellent saves, Particularly towards the end, but our endeavour throughout and the chances created when we broke forward made for a very entertaining game. Suspect the penalty was very borderline and as for the refereeing l thought it was appalling and failed to protect our players from a series of dangerous collisions.
Carson and Erhahon were excellent, but the whole team put in a great performance.
colleagues at work had said how poor Rangers are- they are not wrong. For all their possession they are insipid and lack the nous to break down a resolute defence and their own defence looks very shaky.
for all our away woes and only two points out of nine this week, 21 points at this stage of the season is not to be sniffed at. -
Strange game overall. St Johnstone much more comfortable on the ball most of the night but created nothing. Couldn’t understand why it took so long to give the penalty. Two cracking goals from us, but overall we wasted the ball a lot with slack passes. Fakes offered nothing in second half yet grabbed an equaliser.
There is room from improvement but did not see us sitting with 20 points at this point in season. Are we getting too greedy? -

We still have a game in hand on two teams above us.
Unfortunately the games in hand are Celtic and Hearts 🤔

Lost feed for final quarter. Felt we let them off and back in. Disappointing after that. A win or draw here today would have garnered our bid for top six. Feels more like top of bottom six. Need to sort out away games

Bad day at the office

A struggle today. Passing sloppy, gave the ball away a lot. Ayunga could not find his feet. Carson immense in goals given number of one on ones he faced. Ended up glad of the point. Another season we would have lost that game. Thought refereeing spoilt the game with his decisions. Two poor home performances glean 4 points, but not a good watch. Need to step up though

This is the sort of day when you begin to believe we will have a decent season. The game was murder to watch until we scored. I thought we were well off it and got sucked into a game dictated by Livingston. Referee was dire and bought every trick they brought and did nothing to protect our players. However, the goal, the missed penalty and then the winner so late in game was pure magic to watch. We don’t tend to get anything from these types of games . Tonight l am ecstatic.

Fantastic result today. Everyone contributed though a shout out for Ayunga Strain and Erhahon. Ange in his interview credited us for how we executed the game. Buried two of the three excellent chances we made, made it really difficult for Celtic who never truly tested Carson and only created one clear chance. They had an off day and we took full advantage.
Please now don’t waste this all with a disaster against Livingston in two weeks time
-
Kiltie is going to Livingston, big Joe down South. Possibly one signing tonight
-
Great result, cracking atmosphere, should have scored more. Only issues are down the left when defending, giving far too much space to opposition- we could easily have been punished by Hibs and RC, luckily we weren’t. Secondly, need to work on composure in front of goal. Robinson is doing a great job though
-
Fantastic result and shift from whole team yesterday and thoroughly deserved result. Erhahon, Dunne, Bacchus and Ayunga had stand out performances, OHara impressed again when he came on, but no failures.
Strain had a good shift but thought his final ball was not quite good enough today. Down the Left Tait needs more defensive support. Kiltie for me didn’t do enough in that part of the game and it was exploited later on.main thing is we need to create more clear cut chances and be more clinical up front. Lots of inventive build up play but lack of cutting edge at the moment. Promising though and great feeling returning to the day job next week with a win under the belt.

Liam Kelly was outstanding and won that game for Motherwell. Thought we were a bit static in first half and could have done better with the few chances we had. Need to see the penalty decision again- looked harsh. Second half l could see a Robinson team developing. Need to improve finishing, need to play Henderson every week, Ayunga is good with ball at feet but terrible timing for high balls, Bacchus and Gallagher impressed and Erhahon was solid. Still extremely Saintish though to lose this sort of game, hoping we can build on this performance
-
I haven’t seen any of the games so far this ‘pre season’. Accept some of the comments on here from those who have witnessed them that if we have been as bad as suggested he needs to review his approach quickly. Still not convinced the board will be too quick to pull trigger if things continue poorly
-
Still too early to compare to Stubbs. We have had a few shite league cup group stage performances over the years. Anyway no way Robinson will be quickly moved on given how much has been invested in this new project. Let’s see what the first few league games bring. Very disappointing though

One competitive match doesn’t make a summer.. someone once said

Robinson Out!! sack the board!!! Kibble out and to blame!!! Typical St Mirren!!! Aah the season is back. Just as well l was roasting on a beach in Cornwall this afternoon 😫😫😫☀️☀️😂
-
Great result, enjoyed the game, amazed by Mains goal, amazed by the atrocious refereeing, roll on next season.
-
Absolutely fantastic result. Would have bit your hand off for a draw. Sounds like we were marginally better that fakes, but radio coverage suggests and supports my view that apart from top three all teams this season have been decidedly average and very inconsistent. The league table supports this. Something to build and hopefully SR will be able to build on this.
-
Wind did not help but that was woeful. Both teams poor it we were dire. Lots of effort, but no real tactical nous and any threat up front. Main was unbelievably bad in second half yet stayed on. Thought Erhahon had some good touches in first half but was poor second. Next two games are massive and will determine our future in this league. I am not going to comment on Robinson’s future until l see what he does over the summer whatever league we are on, but unimpressed so far.
-
BBC say we have 9% chance of ending up in playoff. A draw today will make a big difference. Obviously a win would be a much better outcome. Our record post last three Hibs sackings is not fantastic. Hopefully Robinson takes pragmatic approach to ensuring we stay up first and foremost
-
He is not media savvy despite extensive managerial experience. Have mixed feelings about what l am seeing on the park, have some sympathy for the sentiment he is giving journalists- but please just don’t say it publicly. Good management means you don’t blame your tools the moment you get in the door. We are bang average but Robinson is not doing himself any favours with the support- or the players- with the way he is conducting himself post match. There is absolutely no way we should be in a situation where we are concerned about Fake Saints catching us- yet we are now!!!

Fantastic result. Should have buried them in first half. Second half we lost just about every 50:50, but still created enough to finish them off. We sat too deep, perhaps forced back a bit by Dundee. Strain got the run around at the back but was immense coming forward. More pluses and minuses and we cannot complain about full points from first two games. Optimistic we will be very competitive this season and threaten a top six place again
