  1. 5th of March 2014.

    One hundred and eighty-nine days. 189.

    One hundred and eighty-nine days since I was last able to grace the hallowed artificial turf. thumbdown.gif It was good to catch up with old and new faces alike and adorn my favourite non-grass surface once more. As a bibbed playa (bitches!), the result (kinda gave up counting) was not positive. Despite both sides perhaps appearing to be evenly matched ‘on paper’, the non-bibs ran out comfortable winners in the end. And about ten minutes in too, really, despite 2-5 becoming 5-6 during a ten-minute spell about halfway through.

    It’s disappointing that fouls are no longer called, with many not even acknowledging them. Indeed, for the game’s opener, big Mark decked me, took the ball and finished with a neat shot that went in off the woodwork with a satisfyingly metal “PING”. Sounds like i'm moaning... well, I am! 1eye.gif

    Pat Nevin might have offered further post-match analysis such as the non-bibs were more incisive in the final-third, made the most of their opportunities (particularly on the counter-attack), defending and attacking as a team to deliver a robust unit tactically. The football pundit may have described the endeavors of the bibs team as not working the channels enough, with poor decision making and communication in all areas of the pitch contributing to their downfall. I was as culpable as any bibbed man, and I do apologise for not having learned telepathy – yet! whistling.gif

    Billy Dodds may have commented that the ball was round.alien3.gif

    Zo showed that he’s still got bags of energy and a good burst of pace over three yards despite nearing his mid-forties lol.gif ; big Mark’s juggernaught style led to him scoring a good few goals, but missing many, many more with his increasingly erratic shooting; Brian C and big Stef read the game well at the back, with the latter a revelation in his new non-wide left role; big Fraser holding the ball up well at times and the left-footed and slight-built young man on the bibs who could beat men at will but couldn’t finish a dinner of half a McD’s french fry.

    MOTM? king.gif Wee Sean for his box-to-box (Giggity) performance all night. A special mention to all who continue to make this event happen. thumbup2.gif Unfortunately, I’ll be working away for the remainder of the year at least, so see you all at the games cheering on the Saints or next year.

    Ps the burn in my calves from cramp after three games in three nights explains this ungodly hour. donatello.gif <- never used that emoticon... COWABUNGA!

    My first ever man of the match nomination! I weep with joy. punk.gif

    Who the f**k is Paul McLean??

    From the BBC:

    Paul McLean's opener after only 13 seconds sent St Mirren on the road to victory over sorry Hibernian despite playing for 60 minutes with 10 men.

    The midfielder pulled the trigger following a Steven Thompson knock down inside the penalty box.

    McLean set up Paul McGowan for a clinical finish after 15 minutes.

    Buddies captain Jim Goodwin was sent off after a flying challenge on Kevin Thomson, but they held on to drag Hibs firmly into the relegation zone.

    The win lifts St Mirren level with Terry Butcher's side, who slip to eighth place behind Kilmarnock as three points now separate the five teams looking to avoid a play-off that would lead to the losers playing in the Championship next season.

    More to follow.

  3. The first team beat the under 20's 3-1 that day and the senior players aren't picking the team.

    The youngsters did take the piss a bit that day with possession, Danny did go mad and was wanting the players to press everything but the 20's kept playing wee triangles around them...

    So....we send the U20s out against 'well?
