  1. Might be a total irrelevance to todays game but I for one was very disappointed that our keeper publicly criticised his team mates for not winning games. It’s something that should always be said behind closed doors. I’ve felt for a while that team morale and togetherness wasn’t quite right. Goodwin also often praises the away support which seems like a poorly veiled dig at the home fans. 2-0 down after 10 minutes will be a huge test to see if indeed we have the strong characters Goodwin would like us to believe we have

  2. Jim Goodwin is rightly regarded as a legend at the club. However his tactics are costing us big time. Craig Gordon is famous for his shot stopping ability but has a huge weakness with crosses dropped to the edge of the six yard box. He stays glued to his line and has conceded often due to this weakness. Now I’m a big dafty sitting on a sofa and can see it, but not Goodwin. He is either too stubborn or doesn’t have the ability to change his game plan. 
    One more rant. Recently I heard him say that if Rangers have an off day we have a chance. In other words we are beat before going on the pitch and that’s the manager! 
    I do like him, honest! But he has to change.

  3. Well well the tactical genius Jim Goodwin strikes again. Praise where praise is due but how we can go from showing how we can really play in the early part of last week to that dross today beggars belief. There is something about Goodwin that sits a bit off with me. He comes across as a plastic guardiola but he can’t seem to get the simple stuff right like hitting a vulnerable team with pace. Poor show indeed

  4. Citing Rangers and Celtic fans singing their songs if hate as a free pass for needham making his comments just doesn’t cut it. He has pulled the name of St Mirren FC into controversy if not disrepute. Publicity like this undoes our mantle as a community club open to all.

    His motive or attempt at humour is a moot point. Someone in his position is representative of our club. Happy with that?

  5. Goal up and we shat the bed. Passing went from brazilesque to racecoursesque. Just read the bbc report on the game and states ronan’s shot “swerved in the wind”😂. We will finish pretty high up this league if we just believe at bit more in ourselves and get rid of the provincial club mentality. Rangers were there for the taking.

  6. Ronan’s second goal gets better every time you watch it. His slight delay before sticking the ball in the net showed great composure. We now carry a goal threat from midfield which has to help our forwards and gives the opposition something else to think about. Our problem up until now seems to be that we were too predictable, if we can carry a threat from different areas then that has to make us harder to play against.

  7. Saying the offside goal didn’t affect the outcome is irrelevant. The rules of the game don’t change just because one team is superior to the other. Fact is the offside decision was appalling, not even close to offside. And, surprise surprise the highlights didn’t show the Christie challenge. Nice to see nothing has changed since I was going regularly. 
    officiating still stinks. 

  8. How can a player be important if he doesn’t fit into the system? If I was McAllister I would be less than happy about a public declaration of that nature( if he did actually say that) if true then that sort of language is for behind closed doors and either help him to adjust or he finds a new club. It smelt of being thrown under a bus
