Should probably been well ahead at interval but couldn't finish our chances. We need to find someone somehow in jan who can play off Thompson and let McGowan sit behind and open them up. It's a tough couple of weeks ahead now .

Teale must stay. Still fit and our best crosser of a ball. Also v intelligent as shown in the cup final. Fitness is no issue and he is an invaluable asset for us,

A class above any keeper we have had since money. Totally composed and what we had been crying out for. Danny should offer him a decent wage in December so we don't lose him come January. He has become so important to us and I think if we get him he would be a massive signing .

I would not offer him a new contract until feb at earliest. He never bought welll in the summer as harkins,caprice and bahhoken are struggling whilst the goalkeeping situation was a joke. We needed experience but opted for two under 21 players ? Kello is in a different class from these guys and should we keep him and get a striker in then we can do well. I would also try to move David Barron on and send Reilly out on loan he is too slight to play in the team and needs games.

Lets move on big game tomorrow can you believe that we will be 7th with a win. Brilliant prospect lets hope we do it

Loud and clear down here faraway loud and clear. I am sorry that you haven't made it down and wish you a speedy recovery . I would say that until you have had to sit thought the dross we served up then I have every right to call it as I see it. I have congratulated Danny recently but as with any team when the chips are down the media intensify the stories and its on here many fans vent their frustration. I am most certainly not dim but if you get a kick out of that then I'm fine with that. Fact is you have watched saints 12 times in a season and a half whilst I have been there all the time meaning I can criticise the team and. Praise them as I see how good or bad they are. Yes it's fickle yes we get frustrated but its football the world over. Anyhow I must have missed something as two months ago I seem to remember almost everyone saying it wasn't good enough and it wasn't but hey now it is.

Would just like to point out that yes at times I have been very critical of Danny but he deserves great credit for this revival.

Saints are doing much better and deserve credit for it well done. You probably haven't saw them except on sport scene right enough so won't actually know just how bad they were prior to this upturn. 1 win in 20 odd games was poor but fair play its looking up

How? I wait with baited breath about what shit you'll come up with. Jog on happy clapper

Should be goals today but expect a dire attendance. Paisley needs to back their team more!

I come on to talk football and that is then slated and I am given a torrent of abuse. I don't care I am maybe in the minority but sitting second bottom of a weak spfl isn't good enough for me

If he loses to county he should be sacked. Look we're pretty crap we have a horrendous defence and the winter is just beginning.

I praised the team for tynecastle in what I thought was a tremendous performance. I can now criticise them for yesterday which was a very poor performance . I think faraway you should try attending matches and then I will listen to your opinion. Oaksoft the perennial happy clapper I expect the welcome back from you cheers. Stmirren today sit second bottom of the spfl and everything is just dandy with some on here. Well it's not for me and losing 4-0 is not good enough. The managers time is nearing an end it is just a matter of when now

So st.johnstone, Inverness , hibs etc are all too big and too good for us? I hate to break it to you but thistle are playing some tremendous football for a promoted club so I doubt we will be catching them and maybe county and killie are catchable but is it really that shit that we are already accepting a relegation or playoff rather battle? I tell you for a club that has had 7 years in the league we should be moving up the table and this is not good enough.

It's not another cheap shot. Our team needs leadership, it needs instruction, because it is a f**king shambles. Our manager and captain hid today and gave our team no direction. Every ship needs a captain to steer it and it's about time Danny learned that being the manager isn't just about telling the team what to do at the start of the game - it's about talking them through the game and giving instructions.
My boss doesn't just tell me what to do and leave me till I finish - he's there to keep tabs, give guidance, tell me if I need to be more efficient, quicker, better. If I gave a performance like the players did today - and it certainly ain't the first time, it's not the 10th time - I would be severely reprimanded and my job would probably be on the line, no matter what the competition. If I ultimately wasn't performing, wasn't good enough, and was having an effect on the progress of the business (football club in St Mirren's case), I would be replaced by someone deemed to be more competent. Why should football managers and players be any different? Especially when their performance is directly impacting on the customer, the people who keep this football club going and the people who dedicate vast amounts of time and money to it.
Can I just ask for someone to justify why Danny and a Tommy should keep their jobs?

Agree 100%.
Today was a disgrace. I'm sorry, Dundee United are a good team but did they have an experienced head among their 11? Rankin maybe? Other than that they were a young team and they tore us, a team packed with experience and apparent quality, to shreds. They were good, but we let them be Barcelona.
That's the worst performance I've seen by a Saints team in a good couple of years. We have the ball away every time, we couldn't create anything, we couldn't pass, we couldn't tackle, we couldn't mark. What does Lennon do to counter it? Nothing. He waits till we're three down and looking likely to conceded about five more before he changes any personnel. Then he brings on the only options we have - a flattering to deceive Harkkns, Caprice - has he ever seen a football? - and a young defender at right back. That's the level of options we have available to us. Meanwhile, United bring on the classy Gomis and even leave Goodwillie on the bench.
I respect Danny for the cup win but I'm absolutely fed up of turning up at games, particularly away, to be given nothing - absolutely NOTHING - to make we want to return. No passion, no flair or creativity, no excitement, nothing to make me think there's some hope that we might be progressing as a football club. Nothing.
We have an excellent young player in John McGinn - he's potentially our best young player for years - and we should be building the team around him. Utd are doing it with Gauld, so why not us? Instead, we give imposters like Goodwin and Newton more game time and try to play McGinn as a winger. It's absolute crap and it'll be the ruin of our best young footballer for a generation.
Finally, well done to the Saints fans who turned up today in very good numbers, and well done for not being afraid to make your feelings very clear to the management team. Tommy Craig clearly acknowledged the unrest and it's good to know they are hearing us loud and clear. I can normally pull the positives from a performance but today, there were none. There wasn't even a glimmer of promise anywhere. We were like a 2nd or 3rd division team playing the Old Firm, such was the gap in quality, desire and ability.
If we ever want to become the top six team we're consistently lied to about having the potential to be, we must bring in a manager who is unafraid to ruffle a few feathers, and open our chequebook for him. Otherwise, we're done as a football club looking to compete on the biggest stage and we might as well consign our hopes to avoiding relegation every year, at best. If that's the heights we can look forward to league-wise, I'm sorry to say I'm out. I can't support a club and team which has such a massive lack of ambition while others around us thrive.
