Saint@Johnstone

Never a penalty, ball played him. Game is painful to watch, men against boys, flyweight against a heavyweight. Tv ought to have picked a better game to screen live.

Whilst Dundee are a league beneath us, I fully expect a tough game today. Defeat would be awful but not unthinkable, particularly bearing in mind our inability to score goals. I assume no transfer signings are to be expected either. Hoping for a good old fashioned cup tie and a win. Preferably to also avoid an away tie next at OF , Hearts, Aberdeen etc. 😁

The implication,of course, is that I’m always pessimistic ?. I still attend all home games though, despite the pessimism. Anyway let’s not fall out.

And your own summation ?

Just watched the highlights, Saints looked very poor at defending and well beaten as I’d suspected. Hate to be pessimistic but the team is slipping down the league and will likely continue thus as goal scoring looks to be a lost art. Survival and a possible cup run is the best we can hope for. That’s one win in eight games. Not good enough.

😁, 👍

I understand your disappointment, having gone to the match on such a freezing night, and enduring a heavy defeat. I merely listened to the first half on the wireless. Hope you can thaw out soon.

Radio back on, gave up at half time. Saints back to Jellyfish FC. Useless.

Neither at the game nor seeing any footage, but coverage on bbc radio is torture. Saints appear to have thrown the towel in already. Poor show.

Sign a centre forward.

Goal down already !

Given that line up, Saints very unlikely to score. Strongly suspect a defeat, which is hardly a surprise. Form dipping badly in recent weeks. Hope to be proved wrong.

Don’t score enough goals when chances arrive, so pretty sure we will lose this one. Away form is miserable anyway so hope we can beat Dundee on Saturday.

Saw game on Alba and Saints came right into it last half hour but yet again nothing up front. That’s going to cost us a top six place as usual. Hearts were hanging on at the end and they are not a great team by any stretch. Had a couple of nameless teams been denied the penalty we should have had, the papers and radio would be discussing it endlessly. Definitely need to win the cup tie as I think another couple of league defeats are coming up. Why sign another defender when we need a centre forward.? Just asking, like.

Seems a lot of Hearts fans don’t like us and hope we go bust. They are also confident of victory tomorrow. Think we ought to roll up the sleeves and get stuck in. Not particularly confident but there’s nothing to be afraid of, judging by Saturdays game. BTW the prices being charged are outrageous.

Enjoyable game and a very decent crowd yet again. Really ought to have been a few up at half time but without a goal scorer that’s likely to happen. Didn’t fancy the sub who came on, messed up a great chance , then was himself subbed. Need better than that. Also need to keep eleven on the park.

First time at Rugby Park in a few years and first away game for a couple of years. Bought my ticket before the game at the ticket office, no problem. However, my seat was right in with the singing section and drum 😄, so had to move for the second half. Bit of a backs to the wall performance but suppose a point better than nothing. Won’t tire of saying this, but we desperately need a striker, absolutely nothing up front. Triers are all very well but without ability we won’t win games. Great support though. 👍

He is hopeless. Robinson should have taken him off the minute he missed the penalty. Genuinely far off the standard required for our league. Capt Sparra was our best player but yet again , even with an extra man, we almost threw it away. Great 3 pts nevertheless. Phew !!

Just like in any other sport, Australia are never easily beaten. It’s not their main pursuit but they put eg Scotland in the shade with their fighting spirit. Well done Oz. 😋👍

Couldn’t beat ten men. Sums it up.

Not too confident of a win tonight, given recent form, but ever hopeful. Would be best if Ayunga is dropped and Brophy play instead.

Awful display. Noticed the crowd at Easter Rd was quite sparse, because Hibs have been rotten recently. They beat us easily, even on their poor form. At least we have some points on the board, might need them on this display.

Some great performances today, have to say Main was in his best form. Could be an asset. Should have been miles ahead of, and I must say, the poorest United team for a whole, but we held on and deserved the win. Only bad point was Ayunga who is not good enough and should be chased. Nevertheless things have been much worse 😄so let’s keep it going.

Dreadful game and lucky to get a point, the goalie single handedly winning that. Up front the usual nothing and Ayunga is hopeless, as is Main. Grieve looks like a wee boy in a man’s game, no use. Bright point was the crowd, best of the season I’d say, thanks to Killie. Much improvement urgently required.

Good to see the derby match restored, Killie seem to have improved a bit recently so ought to be a decent match. Unfortunately won’t be there, that’s two in a row but hoping for a win.
