    Aberdeen 0-1 down, not watching it, had enough last night. 

    half time. 

    they are doing okay, even Steven Game to me, it wouldn't surprise me to see them equalise......................at least

    Its not just embarrassing ....as they are not even good plastic pitches...its dangerous.... hopefully one of them will go down...although unlikely...  at least we play on a bowling green...

    I don't primarily blame the clubs and I do understand this is not Engerland with their gazillions of tv cash, clubs here have to be practical and community focused, and yes Astro-turf pitches do help in that sense, but as far as the top league is concerned, if a club has the desire to play in it; then it's grass or you are not in, simples.

    It's the clubs that allow it. If they voted against it or for the removal of it we wouldn't have it.emoji6.png

     

    Yes, I realise that, but I just felt the need to vent. In my opinion; it makes us look like a seaside league if truth be told, not only does it clearly give an unfair advantage to the home team..........unless you are Kilmarnock or Livingstone playing at t'others  ground, but it causes injuries that would not happen on grass pitches, so again purely for health and safety reasons, should be banned.  Apologies for ranting on, it's a bugbear of mine

    Had to read that twice before I realised it was Scottish football as a whole (football association) you were referring too. :rolleyes:

    it clearly says  "incompetent set of administrators (being polite) we have, that run Scottish football," and more specifically defines " allow premiership football games to be played on worn-out plastic grass from B & Q." as the medium played on and the particular league concerned..  I understand and appreciate that many teams in the lower leagues need to use plastic pitches as a matter of economics and practicality and see no problem with that, I am simply concerned that we should never have allowed them in the top division.

    A very good result today, all things considered, especially after we had been pegged back. 
    clearly showing Character when historically we’d capitulate in that situation. 
    the highlights showed us in a positive light although we were certainly defending too high up the pitch for their first goal. But an impressive performance and turnout from the fans 👏🏻👏🏻

    three goals and an away win, what’s not to like. 
    as an aside, those pitches at killie and livi are getting worse. An absolute disgrace to professional football at this level!

    I agree entirely with your views re the game and am extremely glad to see you highlight what an incompetent set of administrators (being polite) we have, that run Scottish football, and allow premiership football games to be played on worn-out plastic grass from B & Q. It truly makes us a laughing stock if teams choose not to have a grass pitch then they should be barred from entry to the premier league.

    So Olusanya and Greive are no good at this level 🤔 brilliant start to the campaign, always like to get the first away win as soon as possible!

    always liked Grieve, just seemed he was consistently a yard short but a grafter, I thought Olusanya a waste of space, playing naive schoolboy chase the ba fitba, but clearly, I know feck all, he was superb today, and made chances out of being a pain in the arse, so, very glad to be proved wrong, long may he continue in this vein

    But not St Mirren?

    Still a raw talent when he left us, but how many kids left a team like Saints and all but walked into Leeds 1st team?  even Jordan had to bide his time a little longer.   As a youngster he was was more than able for the experienced players he played with and against. I remember being behind the Love st end goals after he ran just about the whole length of the pitch with the ball, as the opposition backed of ALL the way from the centre to the 6 yard box,  to thrash the ball in the net so hard they had to peg the net again,  before turning and berating his team mates for not getting sruck in in the same way.

    I don't think there was a Saints player in my life that turned out to be better than big Gordon, although Bobby Reid would arguably have been better.

    What a player & what a man.

    perhaps Jim Blair?

    Yea - pretty poor (the bits I did see). Poor up front, poor in the final ball and pedestrian middle of the park. Missed the first goal but second one was rookie defending. 

    I think I saw about ten minutes of the second half; plus about twenty or so of the first half, Olysanya was dire, headless chicken is the best description he looked like an eager schoolboy at a trial, running after everything but catching very little, sorry but I can't see a footballer there., Taylor in defence was not great either given the limited time that I  viewed, he had lots of misplaced passes and just didn't look confident, I do like Grieve; but he is ineffectual without a boisterous target man, much to lightweight to force the issue without support.  The rest of the game was so broken up between black screens, slow motion and Keystone cops speed t was difficult to comment on others, but a poor showing surely.

    Manager said he took less wages as 1st agreed as well to get the deal done.

    I like him already  👍

    You have to admire the lad and his agents, all of whom literally put their money where their mouth was; to get the deal done, credit where due and his attitude seems admirable, this lad really does have my best wishes moving forwaed.
