    St Mirren 0-1 Kilmarnock, full time.

    Can't be arsed going into much detail.

    If we'd won that game 2 or 3 nil there wouldn't have been a lot of complaints.

    While the manager, and the players, rightly, got plaudits early in the season he, and the players, have to take responsibility for our current plight.

    What's the answer, I'll leave that to others. 

    PS While the "we need to stop punting it" cry gets regurgitated we certainly didn't do that more often than nought tonight. 

     

    We did stop punting it in the 2nd half, so fair play. 

    I think Mcmenamin and Mandron did make a difference, but again we've come away with nothing.

    Our form is currently woeful and we could easily come out of the next 4 games with 0pts (Aberdeen away followed by Celtic and Rangers at home and then Hibs away). A relegation battle is on the cards now unfortunately.

    Dunne's out for 3 weeks. 

     

    Manager Stephen Robinson said: “He is not as bad as we first feared, we are looking probably about three weeks with Charles.

    “So it is obviously a blow for us – but not as bad as we thought it was going to be.

    “He has had a scan, he will be a similar time frame as Keanu (Baccus, who previously had a calf injury) so hopefully three weeks and he will be back available again.

    I don’t really follow how that works. Baccus played into the latter stages yet Wotherspoon only played part of one match as a substitute for Canada yet they earned £160,000.

    All clubs a player has played for in the two years prior to the tournament will be compensated.

    I think we had him for around 4/5 months before the WC. So, that would entitle us to around 20% of the total amount. His previous club would have got the majority. Not sure though. Perhaps his present club got a larger share than the previous club.

    Baccus would not be a loss in anyway...

    Agree!

    If we can get 500K for him, then we will be laughing all the way to the bank. He has had some decent moments, but tends to disappear more often than not. Also very prone to a booking. 

    Add to that, he has been pretty awful since he came back from the World cup.

    Take the money (if offered) and boost the budget. Can be replaced based on our previous transfer business under Robbo.

  12. Aberdeen v St Mirren 24 May 23

    Overall a great season, albeit with an extremely disappointing end.

    In the end we basically threw away a magnificent chance to get into Europe.  Last night, we just weren't at the races. Simple as that! Even before Small got sent off, Aberdeen just looked better. I don't think we would have got anything with 11 on the park. 

    In my opinion, it wasn't only the post-split fixtures that done the damage. There were many points we threw away throughout the season. St Johnstone at home 2-2(injury time equaliser), 1st game of the season v Motherwell (Were by far the better team, but lost 0-1). There's 5 points for starters. Then after the split.... Hearts at home(injury time equaliser), Celtic away(late equaliser). Another 4 points.

    We were a bit unlucky with injuries too. Ayunga, Watt and Grieve.

    Oh well!!! At least we seem to have built a solid base to have another go next season.  Onwards and upwards!!!

     

     

  15. MATCH OFFICIALS BEING HARASSED AND MANHANDLED

    A bigger problem is not players and coaches it's so called supporters, none more guilty than the two arsecheeks, the referee in Saturday's game had his personal details posted on social media, seemingly he's had threatening messages putting his family in fear...  totally out of order police are on the case hopefully they find the culprits... 

    Top Cat keep yer eyes peeled for any tents going up in your neighbours garden 

    Maybe so, but what chance is there, if the players and coaches don't show respect. They are the role-models.

    Over the last weeks, months and years this has been going on and probably getting gradually worse. Andy Robertson is the latest to get involved with a match official. Eventually taking an elbow to the face himself.

    In my opinion, match officials being constantly whined at by players and coaches only helps to lower the standard of refereeing. It puts them under more pressure, which eventually leads to more bad decisions. Referee's could have more of a chance if they were just left alone to get on with it. Something needs to be done. It is time to take a leaf out of Rugby's book. 

    FIFA, UEFA and all the FA's have to put their foot down. The solution is pretty simple as far as I am concerned. 

    All clubs should be informed that arguing and/or manhandling refs or assistants will no longer be tolerated. These are the rules that could be implemented...................

    Protest against a decision = Yellow card

    Protest a decision in an agressive manner = Red card

    Manhandle an official = 10 game ban

    3 Red cards for this in one season = 3pts deduction.

     

    I have watched so many games where coaches and players are trying to ref the game and even somehow manage to infuence the ref. Time for it to end. Gradually over time players will develop an understanding that arguing with officials is not the done thing.

    Thoughts?

    What a day! What a performance! Absolutely loved every minute of it.

    We should be going all out to get 3rd place now. 3pts behind Aberdeen with 7 games to go. 

    The prize for 3rd is huge. Guaranteed 5m and European football til Xmas. That would sort out our financial woes and some.

    Dire performance all round really. 

    I reckon Taylor and Small are the weak links. Not great back up at all. How many times did the pair of them give the ball away tonight???? We really missed Dunne in the Taylor position and Tait is a big big loss too. Add to that, big Declan is as slow as a week in the jail and looks in trouble when Dunne is not there to cover him pace-wise. 

    Injuries really haven't helped us. The squad is thread bare and the back-up is just not good enough unfortunately.
