No one around us did well either, so pretty much as you were. Didn't have a good feeling about this game so not surprised really. We have done extremely well recently so losing today hopefully wont have upset out rhythm too much. Roll on next week

What a save!
Who by?

Every game is a massive game at the moment. That's what happens when you go on a good run. No meaningless games, everything to play for and having hopes and dreams. Tonight's game will be tricky, no doubt about that. Thank god we're not adopting a Billy big time approach.as previously stated by another poster, tonight's game will be all about attitude. Get it right and we could put on a show. Who wouldnt want another day out like the 17th march?

I haven't studied qos cup record over the last few years but I suspect it's pretty good, especially at home. Like others on here I have witnessed my fair share of gut wrenching defeats to lower league opposition, more often when we adopt the " this is easy" approach. The replay wont be a walk in the park either. Another game undefeated in spite of losing our most influential player has to be good. We hold no divine right to beat so called weaker teams and maybe the players need to be reminded of that. Danny frequently praises the players for their work ethic. It sounds like we came up against a team with similar values which is what cup ties are generally about. We are still in it, many teams fans will be wishing they still were also.

there was a thread quite a while ago about your first saints game. Well this may take some time, but it's time to write it. I grew up in ibrox with my 2 sisters and my older brother. The Richardson family also lived there. My brother was friends with Ferrier and I was friendly with Keith, young Simon was a few years younger and an extremely nice boy. We all went to the same school and attended the same BB company. We spent a long time in each others company, playing football or just hanging around on the local green. I don't know if their parents are still alive but they were very kind generous people who always gave you a sense that they really cared about all us boys. Sadly a lot of boys were influenced by the old firm but I can remember as if it was yesterday Keith saying to me that he supported St Mirren and would I like to go to a game. I went to my first game and was immediately sold on everything at Love Street. From that day Keith and I went to every game home and away, defiantly wearing our scarves walking to the bus stop at the top of Copland rd. After a few wonderful years Keith decided he was heading to London and unfortunately we haven't seen each other since, but I will always hold him in a special place as he was instrumental in saving me from old firm oblivion.Now back to young Simon, he was quite a bit younger than us but I remember he always came across as a gentle boy and when I saw his photo on the BBC he had inherited the strong family features. Simon came from a Family who worked hard and gave to others with an earthiness and sincerity very rarely seen these days. We have lost one of our own and may His memory be honoured in a way that he would want. I hope that this comes across in the way that it's meant. Simons family and friends are constantly in my thoughts and may your love for one another and the healing of time help you through. God bless you Simon

Should be a longer gap between the first two attacks and the next block of three. Oh where's a stanza when you need one!

Attack attack Attack attack attack

Yeah I had heard that we used to sing that, when was it? 60/70s?
You'll never walk alone was sung with gusto in the late 70s and early 80s. I used to love singing it and I was saddened when I found we had dropped it from our repertoire. Another oldie was the one sung to the tune of hey Jude. A comprehensive Scottish cup win against airdrie at Broomfield sticks in my memory where that song reverberated around the ground which had a cracking atmosphere ( 5-0 I think I'm sure Billy stark ran riot although I might have dreamt it)

I'm sure a few others on here will remember when we used to sing you'll never walk alone

Boooooooooo!!!!!!!

Never a penalty

Hate to see players injured but let's hope that's why mairs not playing. Surely he won't have been dropped as he's been pretty solid recently by all accounts

She could at least learn to write properly. Her English is shocking. Until she improves I wouldn't entertain her personally.

Also think that the other match officials have to take some responsibility in the decision making. It did make me laugh to see them walk behind collum, watch him roll/throw/kick the ball then stand around and mutter. Then do it again and again. They didn't appear to offer any real input or participate in the farcical roll/throw/kick game. Maybe it was Collums ball and he wouldn't let them play with it. Maybe that's what they were muttering about.

Putting aside yesterday's debate, the attitude of all the players after losing to united was first class. There was only going to be one outcome if the game continued and that was a comprehensive win for us. County did have a couple of clear cut chances but hey, how many times have we been in that position? Also really enjoyed Lee mairs interview on teuchtervision. The guys attitude is fantastic and we are truly fortunate if he is an example of what we have in the dressing room

That sounds like a quote from bigjessiebuddie, he played the second half on much worse conditions than there was when he inspected it. There were no players injured.
Shut that door!

Hate to say this but it was the right decision, he has to consider the possibity of injury when a pass falls short which happened a number of times. If one of our boys had been injured as a result of a ball being held up in the conditions then he would have been slaughtered anyway.a poor ref he may be but he has to take then safest route. Oh and wee John mcginns pass was world class for the second goal.

Ridiculously poor preparation from commonwealth games committee and the sfa. Surely with proper planning this could have been sorted long before now. The historical incentive to reach hampden on cup final day has been removed.the ticket allocation fiasco is bad enough when one of the bigot brothers are involved, can you imagine how arrogant they will be if one of them reaches a stage where it's on their own patch?
If they really wanted true neutrality then why not hire murrayfield? It has been used before for football and easily meets the requirements for semi finals and final. This is another opportunity to line the coffers of two clubs who yet again mask their objective with the usual " any team using our facilities would be most welcome" aye right.

Just watched the highlights and it is clear that kello, while he has a good reputation, needs game time as his postioning and decision making was a tad slow which is all it takes to cost you at this level. It's easy to be hard on the team but to have a goalie not only making his debut, but clearly not having a great deal of time to prepare with the defence only served to make it a difficult day from the off. Lastly, some of the personal stuff on here when we lose is cringeworthy at best. I find a lot of posts on here usually very interesting and thought provoking, still others highly entertaining. But sometimes, like today it's just juvenile and does nothing for a forum. For guys like me who have lived away for a long time it really is a lifeline to hear peoples honest opinions on the team, tactics, gossip etc. When it stoops to vile abuse then its tempting to chuck it. Bit hey, I've nowhere else to go and I love my team

What a load of bollocks, the team was needing changed at in first half when UNT were running a mock with us. The formation wasn't working. As usual DL didn't have a plan B. Don't need to be a coach to or manager to see that. They made a change when we were already getting humped. DL's time is well and truly up.
You missed a "C"
-
As has been said already to make three substitutions ( which is a big chunk of the team) ad none of them a striker when your getting pumped is,at best, very strange. Danny has been righty commended for his recent team selections, but yet again when he's under pressure his decision making is baffling. That, I thinks his biggest blind spot. Now as for next week his team selection will be very interesting.

Fantastic to watch again. Scanlon scoring against Clydebank in the cup game brought back great memories of going to kilbowie, which if I'm correct, was the first all seater stadium in Britain. Funny thing is that every time I watch the highlights on the video I'm drawn to the crowd behind the goal and a guy in a light brown jacket with the longest arms in the world, putting them aloft and clapping when we score. I think I might need some sort of help. There is no doubt a syndromie-like name for what I have.
