Would offer Anton a player/coach role if that is the road he wants to go down. 

Wrong call by Oran. We needed a striker not Hodson. 

Oh what a night!
tense, nervy, mistake laden, red cards, players let off reds incl Mullen. We huffed and puffed for an hour really. Little creativity, and a fair few players not taking on responsibility and shooting on sight.
The subs changed our intent, Flynn came on, didnt see a lot of the ball, but was geeing up everyone, why McGinn didnt slip him in from the at free kick i will never know? Thats was rabbit in the headlights stuff. Big Cody played a blinder when he was asked to come on. Held it up, linked it up more in his short stint than both Mullen and Jckson did all game. That for me was the catalyst to the siege we laid down on accies goal that eventually bore fruit.
when you consider the pelters i got on here for suggesting both Cooke & the duck should play as our midgets would get owned again, i hope at least Kearney has seen his error and starts at least one of them in Dundee, and has the balls to use them if we go to the play offs!

After I gave him grief earlier in the thread, I should say fair play to Cody Cooke when he came on. Certainly got involved and gave Hamilton something else to worry about. A couple of decent passes as well. Sadly still not much evidence that he knows the way to goal but at the rate he is improving that could be next!
Delighted to see Kyle McAllister have a properly impactful game for us.
Hopefully Flynn and Magennis are both fit enough to start against Dundee and Lyons can drop to the bench. We shoud be able to give them a tough time if we have a full strength midfield.

After today - we can take encouragement into this game - The Fakes are a strong side, and overall I think we were the better team.
Yes Motherwell can score goals against Dee, but our defence is a lot better than theirs!
Last time Well beat us - time before we beat them - so it is our turn and we need it more.  
Hoping Dee take something from the Hammers and we make up the two points difference at least.
Magennis more match fit, but need to get Jackson and Mullen on to have a real go at scoring winning goals . . .

Stephen McAllister , the other famous Elderslie golfer mentioned in the article, attends St.Mirren Park regularly.
 
 

Yes was thinking that too.   A great story. Well kent name when I was a kid hacking my way round Elderslie.

In recent years, Southampton spent 2 seasons in league 1, finishing runner up in their 2nd season and Leeds in spent 3 seasons in league 1 also finishing runners up in their last season.
I see both of the above just as big a club as Sunderland, though they failed at first attempt promotion and failed to win the league in their final season. Not as easy as some may think.

Really they are a Premier League club - well fans dreaming and reality are two different things. The tables don't lie - they tell you what league you are in and there is a reason for that - Sunderland were not good enough for the league above when the season started and they are 2 leagues away from the Premier league.
At a professional level like theirs, expectations and reality are very different animals. It is not like Scotland where only 2 teams can win the top league.
You still claim they are outside the top 2 - but ignore the FACT they have a game in hand and IF they win that, they ARE in an automatic Promotion place.
Were Luton expected to win the league? Is/was it a foregone conclusion? What about Barnsley OR form team Portsmouth? Any one of them could still win the league or take automatic promotion - I don't think any of the rest of the league will be looking up at any of them and not wishing that they were still in with a chance like this . . . and none of them will take the results of this group as being in self destruct mode... that is only happening in YOUR head and perhaps a FEW daft fans who think they deserve to be in the Premiership in stead of grasping the reality of where they are having fallen hard and fast.
So what really is YOUR beef with JR . . .   

Again missed chances cost us. First half should have seen us home and dry. Our lack of goals kills us. 

He's had a chance on either foot and proceeded to do nothing then hit the tamest shot no where near the goal.

I'd take Jackson and Lyons off. Just not offering a lot

The momentum we had a few weeks ago seems to have dissipated but we have another chance against Dundee tomorrow and if we aren't in the Last Chance Saloon yet we're certainly in the same street! 
It's one of those games that's gonna be about karaktur and hopefully we show more than them tomorrow!
As ever COYS!

Very true
Performances have improved and we have tighten up at the back
We don't  score enough which is needed to gain points

It was only 1 game but it was a real opportunity against a pretty poor side... They did stifle us quite a bit, but 3 CB's against 1 forward and keeping McAllister quiet was good enough for their cause. Jackson missing a penalty was also a blow for us and a lift for them as well. Remember too that 3 top midfielders were missing for us.
We can all add in our thoughts, but I don't think the long break helped us as we had a wee bit of momentum, and then players were away and just back from the other side of the world etc. (Don't think they has anyone away on international duty)
I also think the tension that relegation is generating allows too much fear and restricts individual players, the team and the managerial team strategically - but that is normal for teams in these situations - I once signed for a team in the bottom spot of a top league with 7 games to go (before January transfer windows were a thing). In my 1st game we drew 1 v 1 with the team at the top of the league. I had no baggage about how precarious the team emotions were, but on the final whistle that day grown hard men burst into tears; our manager and coach hugged me that day like I was a hero. From this new belief it allowed us to move about 2 teams in the next 2 matches and above another by the last game. 
St. Mirren need this kind of lift. The draws against Aberdeen and Hearts were decent, but Hamilton's wins against them both  elevated Hamilton points wise and mentally. We really really need some of this. 
Truth is there is a whole lot more than 3 points at stake against Dee. A draw won't do much for either of us, but a win would be very significant. I also think winning against Hamilton in a few weeks would pull them back into the mix. 
We need to be brave and really go for it OR games will run out... Oran needs some way of preparing the players mentally to be strong and to give their all like never before. My advice would be some fun but significant reward/punishment for shooting over the bar or wide of the target - far too many shots did not require the opposition to event attempt a save last night . . . at any level but especially at this level that is not good enough. Hit the target and the goalie might let it slip etc. Plenty penalty practice and shooting practice from here on in.
Keep the faith!     

Me me me. 

I'll go against the run of opinion, if Jackson felt up for the dink then he was entitled to go for it. It's one of those things you never seem more of a twat than when you try to pull off something cool  and fail miserably.. No doubt he does it for fun in training.
 
COYS!

f**ks sake Hearts

S McGinn was fecking woeful...berween him and Nazon who was worst player on park..he looks totally unfit, overweight and is totally off the pace..his decision making and passing today was shocking...

I perhaps am over-egging our poor performance.
I would remind you that Livi are the team we left in our wake last season.
But cannot agree that we deserved this victory.
Livi were by far the better, fitter team today.
Where they tried to keep the ball on the deck we seemed to resort to keepy-upy or just hump the ball up the park into the wind.

Not a pretty game or weather but it's always like that against this mob. The ante football. Thought we done well to get to HT 0.0. But the the 2nd half we just punted high balls up to them. Not a great game but a huge 3 points. Flynn was superb again. But Popescu is different class. And he's dragging Bairdy along with him. Great Hladiky got a clean sheet he deserved one. Need to play better against Killie. But it is winnable. Coys.

Sevco play Hamilton and then Dee  in their next 2 matches - If they play like they did last night they could easily take more than the 5 off them that they took off Killie last night.
I very rarely would want them to win, but in the present circumstances I will be delighted if they run up a rugby score in their next 2 fixtures...   
Goal difference mattered in JR's 1st season in charge. I hope we will be well clear by the close of the league, but a better goal difference would also be a confidence booster...  

?

I was sure Ferdinand had gone off at halftime, then I realised that Erhahon got his haircut

Tickets to see Pop will eat itself, supported by the Wonderstuff and Jesus Jones.  Cracking gig

This seems like a very weird obsession with those that sit in the south stand or today didn’t sit in it. 
I know for a fact that many of those that disagree with the Boards OF stance also sit elsewhere. 
We were 1500 down on our normal support today, every stand was quieter. 
The W7 area that many think has been the heartbeat of the club recently was quieter than usual today and from my 5 spare seats in the south stand were comprehensively out sung by united all day.  
We had a new signing with loads of premier league experience that was by far the worst player on the park and hooked at half time but you’d rather mention bits of plastic that got dusty because nobody was sitting on them in the stand who’s regular users were treated like crap by the board so that they could squeeze more OF fans in. 
I know we are all frustrated by our current position but get a grip.
