    Edinbuddie got a reaction from BIG BEN in Best Saints Goal You Have Witnessed   
    I was thinking about that one as well. Brian Hamilton chips a ball into Ian Ferguson, he flicks a header into McDowall's path and he hits a 20 yard volley. Think it was the same game that Campbell Money fumbled a cross into his own net.
    Some great strikes and team goals have been mentioned, and I also thought about the one at Ibrox in 87/88ish when Ian Cameron beat 3 and slipped the ball to Billy Davies, who fired a 25 yarder into the top corner. But Mallan's goal on Saturday is out on its own as a piece of individual brilliance.

    Think I’m watching a different game at times when I read all the negativity and criticism of players. 
    The team as a whole were honking in the 1st half but came out straight from the whistle in the 2nd half and played better, putting Livi under pressure from the off. 
    The 2 goals were poor mistakes but it happens. 
    We worked some great positions in the second half - especially down the right hand side. McAllister was excellent and McGinn worked well in tandem but just needs a better final ball at times. 
    McLoughlin had a couple of mistakes and was slow on the ball at times but never hid. At least 2 or 3 times he hit 50-60 yard switches of play with absolute accuracy. Let’s not underestimate that! 
    Some are also criticising the strikers. I know it’s a frustrating afternoon but nobody provided them with clear cut chances. I thought Obika did much better 2nd half when he started getting balls into feet with runners going off of him. Junior came on and always looked for the ball, showed strength and a few good runs in the final 3rd. Give them a chance to settle in and get going ffs! 
    Ultimately not enough efforts on goal but on another day we could’ve had a point from the positions that we worked. 
    Not all doom and gloom and we’ll be back!

    I think he only can work in an extremely mobile strike force, and benefitted from defenders being occupied with Morgan and the movement of Reilly.
    That gave him so much space to create or find pockets, as he’s quite poor pace wise over 5-10 yards.

    Sounds like his time at Crawley was interrupted with injuries. Might explain the low scoring.

    There were signs on  Saturday that Rice wants Accies to actually play football and pass out from the back as opposed to the usual heavy tackles , general frantic thuggery and a grabbed goal. It made Accies look very average at times and nervy. Hope Rice preserves with this as I  suspect and hope  it will not end well for them.

    I have been working in Northern Ireland this week . Today I was working North of Antrim up to Ballymoney ,at lunch time I dropped into a wee place called Bellaghy for a bite to eat . The guy serving me , hearing the accent enquired where I was from , when I said Paisley , next question was which team ... as usual !  When I said Saints, he looked surprised. “pop your head into that office over there and tell them who you support “ 
    Turns out the guy in the office is an organiser for the Belfast youth football group who visited us a couple of weeks back , he was singing the clubs praises , said the youngsters were given the whole package and treated like kings . Particularly singled out TF for praise saying he had the young uns captivated with his stories and enthusiasm. The lads have asked if they can wear .St.Mirren strips next season !!  
    At times it is  easy to become disillusioned with our club and sometimes things seem bleak  , but it’s good to remind ourselves we can occasionally do things right 
    Well done to all involved.

    I'm not quite sure what needs cleaned up.
    The title of this thread is a factually accurate description of our opponents on 2nd march.
    Maybe I should change it to "Saints v the team with a drug dealing assistant and two thirds of their defence who either like to batter someone unconscious or wave their willies at young women, plus the rest of the team who haven't done anything wrong that we know of", but it's a bit of a mouthful.

    I’ve been watching St Mirren for over 40 years. This has been going on for all the years I’ve been going.

    If you think things will change then you’re in gut a very long wait.

    That's reasonable; agree with all of that. Perhaps I should have said we'll regret not being able to get the best out of him at this level. It's perhaps fair to say he's a luxury player in a team that can currently afford few luxuries. We're not stretching teams all over the place this season - he hasn't got Morgan and Reilly creating space for him, or getting onto the end of his passes. He really is only a number 10 or a narrow wide forward in a 4-3-3.
    Other players who have failed with us for similar reasons are Harkins and Imrie - and they went on to perform well at this level after leaving us.

    Just received via the short message service on my mobile phone from a very reliable source in Dublin that Oran Kearney will be signing midfielder Oscar Brennan and striker Kieran "Marty" Waters who both play in the League of Ireland.
    These will be the first of Oran's January signings, I am waiting to hear back from a contact in the big smoke about a few more intended signings, so watch this space.
