Be very surprised at anything other than a heavy defeat as usual. Our achievement in reaching the top six without a forward line is commendable but the late season collapse could see us quite easily have just one point from the final 21. Maybe we should try next term with some forwards, who knows what we could achieve. 😁

Threw it away yet again. Great first half then sat back and let Hearts dictate. Could see the equaliser coming. Of course if we had a goal scorer we would have won easily, but nothing up front as ever. Strain our best player.

Jellyfish fc.

Well beaten in the last two games but despite that, top six status secured. Killies tactics yesterday, particularly the faking of injury, was pretty disappointing but their determination made us look poor. Regarding the player who was cautioned twice in a minute, then dismissed, I would send him back to his host club as he is not up to much in a playing sense. Only downside of ending up among the big boys is the inevitable heavy defeats against the OF. At least relegation has been avoided. 😁

Ok don’t wish an argument but may I point out that each of these teams have given us heavy defeats this season as well. Maybe best you ignore my posts , we don’t agree on anything.

Please explain ? Why strange ?

One of the downsides, should we reach the top six, is the potential maulings yet again from the OF. Only listened to match on radio and turned off as we lost the third goal but disappointed to find out later we collapsed near the end. Note that yet again none of our “ forwards” scored. Must do much better next week although I fear for our results should we make the top six.

Some pretty good signings this season, Carson, Strain, Gogic, Ohara, Baccus. Improvement from a few already there. Less good are Taylor, Olusanya and Ayunga, but on balance more good signings than bad. 👍

On Hearts fan forum pre match ,most were not confident of a win, yet furious after an expected defeat ! Seems like their manager (originally a Saints fan I believe) is heading for the door. As for us, I anticipate a defeat next week but a good game v Killie following that. Possibly break our ground attendance at that one ?

My reverse psychology seems to have worked 😁 . The highlights seemed to show Hearts having most of the play, don’t know how accurate that was, not having been at the game. Decent result nevertheless and keeps top half of the league a possibility still. My comment from earlier still stands though, we have nothing up front and most goals come from defenders/ midfield.

That worked well 😁

Reckon we have the worst forwards in the country. Nothing up front, such a pity.

Agree with the crowd prediction. As for the match, just like Saints, nothing up front. Back to earth with a defeat and no prospect of topping the group. Think it’s rather pitiful we are reduced to relying on an Australian and English players to try and score goals for us., none of whom I’d even take at Saints. Wonder how the managers contract extension will look should we be on the end of a bad defeat. They certainly pick their moments to make decisions. Just on another subject, isn’t Facebook the platform to boast about your foreign holidays ? 😄

Penalty is awarded when a player is fouled in the box. There was no foul. Perhaps he just fell. 😄.

Had a feeling we would lose this beforehand, but a draw is still an awful result. Yet again no goals from our forwards, pathetic. According to radio we came into it more in the second half but I think it’s maybe better to avoid the top six and save us more misery from the old firm. Leave that to big teams like Livi.

Very bad decision to play Taylor, he is hopeless. Think we will lose to the worst team in the league.

Well said, that man 👍.

Pretty much as expected and maybe best to avoid having to meet this team again this season. Curious as to how Celtic define “big” as in Ange. Possibly when surrounded by diminutive Japanese players, but the portly Antipodean is certainly not as they describe him. Nevertheless, he will be gone next season to an English team, as will a few of their better players. As for us, 14 goals in three games against Celtic shows the difference in class. Still nothing up front.

Mistake starting with Small, not good enough.

I’ve had that particular chap on ignore for over a year, so wouldn’t even see any response. Glad you also think so highly of me. 😁

I carelessly hadn’t realised this match is on Sunday,so three of us who sit together can’t make the match. First home match this season I will miss, drat ! Wish they wouldn’t change dates and times.

Watched those highlights, and whilst i thought we would lose the match originally, to fail yet again to see off a lower ranked team with a man short for half the game is pathetic. Then again, when you play without any goal scorers it’s no surprise. As for the next match, one shudders at the potential outcome. 😬

I saw that info as well, saying only season ticket holders can purchase one. Why bother if you already have a season ticket ? Prices are also outrageous, very bad show by Saints.

Recent form has been quite poor so think this will be another defeat as we can’t score goals. Prepared to be pleasantly surprised but rather doubt it.

Thankfully Small is only a loan player, he looks pretty hopeless and was beaten every time by the Ross winger. Find it hard to fathom why an 18 year old reserve player goes straight into the team, even if we are struggling with injuries. Also think that Taylor looks a poor signing, and not up to playing at this level. Probably more of Robinsons signings than not, have been ok but those two should be gone asap.
