Given our record ,not only against Killie, but McInnes in general, I find it difficult to see anything better than a draw for us but I am just getting ready for to travel and I hope to be eating humble pie by 5.00.
I'm sure optimism will overtake me as we enjoy the craic on the bus.
COYS!!!

You can't tie them down, I'd be surprised if even one of them extended their current deal. They have all attracted attention already and will probably see out their deals unless we sell early, which I suppose would be dependent on them getting much more game time than they currently do. It would be nice to see and enjoy them for another 1-2 years and for there to be a memorable achievement for them in saints shirts before they go.
Every other team manages to recognise their protegees potential and gets them signed early. I don't see why we can't.

The reality is that there is very little dividing the teams in this league apart from the sectarian-driven gruesome twosome.
The January transfer dealings could determine the final placings.
Also the likes of Kenny, Penman and Mooney have to be given more game time to allow them to develop at St Miren.
It's just as important to make sure these young starlets are tied down on decent length contracts to protect the investment.

Dunfermline 3 Falkir k 3. Marvellous entertainment. Standard pretty poor but thougharly enjoyable. End to end stuff with a decent crowd. Really enjoyed that.
IF Falkirk do make it to the top league they will have to be far better than that to survive the rigours of the top league.

RIGHT. now I've managed to get myself back off the ceiling..... What a way to beat either of the @rsecheeks! I have to admit, my optimism was a wee bit shattered with the way we started the second half. When they equalized I honestly thought there was only going to be one team winning it. How wrong I was. I thought, when they put up the board with six minutes they were trying to give the h**s time for a winner. It was like Aberdeen all those months ago, Saintees and Ross C all over again. Fergie time will have to be renamed! I loved the chorus of Hagi, what's the score. The wee Nyaff didn't know where to look. As for the "incidents" during the match. I thought Butland made no real attempt to play the ball and should have walked. I'm sure Hagi was already booked and should definitely have been shown a second yellow for his antics after they equalized. Boyd Munce goal? What a lay back by young Mooney and what a strike. The down side? Well I am on standby today so I can't properly celebrate tonight. Rain check till tomorrow and watch the highlights.

Merry Christmas to all, (including Elvis and Faraway), and may we all still have a smile on our faces, (perhaps excluding Elvis), after 7.30ish tomorrow evening.

Wonder who Shull will support?
That's easy. BOTH. 6 of his aliases for Arthurlie and the rest for the Buddies.

As you are well aware VAR isn't the issue it's the idiots who are employed to operate it that is. If we had decent, independent officials we wouldn't have considered VAR in the first place.
While I agree the standard of referee is shocking I don't think we have the resources to allow any referee to judge many of the contentious incidents. VAR can only be as good as the facilities allow. We don't have anywhere near enough camera angles to adjudge whether a player is a toe or a dip of the shoulder offside . The same as when there are bodies flying all over the shop in a penalty area. We either reduce the use or get rid.

Watching the highlights from yesterday's games and the the rangers goal was deemed onside because the Dundee player's arm was ahead of Cerney. I thought it was only the parts of the body you could score with that counted. Perhaps the rangers should complain about VAR not getting involved. Oh. Wait a minute.........

I'm on standby on Boxing day so I hope all the operators are sevco fans and don't want to miss this. Would mean I definitely get to the game. They dominated Dundee at Ibrokes and still could have, perhaps even should have, dropped points. We are at home and, due to the fact our board stayed true to the one stand rule, it should feel like it. My only worry is that SR admitted some of the squad are carrying knocks. We really need to go into this with belief.

Great result in horrendous conditions. I'll reserve judgement on Tanser but I think he could have been off the park before the second yellow. I hope none of the walking wounded aggravated their injuries as this is a very busy time of season.

I really think Sevco are self obsessed collective pr!cks with selective memories. And for the football authorities to legitimise their conspiracy theories is ridiculous. Every week VAR reviews show injustices with most benefitting the two @rsecheeks. It never seems a problem when other teams are at the receiving end of bad decisions v Sevco, on a couple of occasions it even happened to the green lot. But that's OK because they think the world is against them when they get ONE decision that doesn't favour them and accuse the whole hierarchy of cheating them out of their fourth major trophy. Let's ignore the fact they had a lead and the other mob got it back. One incident doesn't make a match. Anyway. They had a penalty to keep them in it and they failed from the spot.
-
I am guessing here but it looks like Shull has chosen to talk to himself again.

Not going to make this as I'm sunning myself in Morocco. I will be monitoring from afar. Heart says win. Head and experience says it's more likely not to be. I live in hope.

No penalty????
And this only merited a yellow???
The game's fecked!

To add insult to injury, not only did it hit Adegboyega's arm, the unnatural position of said arm was that it was attached to Olusanya's feckin' shirt via his hand. You couldn't make this sh!te up.

Gross incompetence, absolutely, but I’m sorry, to suggest actual bias is nonsense. Why on earth would the officials be bias against St. Mirren in a match against Dundee Utd unless they were Utd fans (which I can only assume they are not).
I’m also quite surprised by what seems to be the majority view on here that we deserved something from that game. We created absolutely nothing the entire game and although we perhaps didn’t deserve the lose the game the way we did i.e. several debatable decisions going against us, Utd created several other very good clear openings and for me did more than enough to deserve the points.
We seem to be that team that puts a wee run together and just when you’re starting to believe again, we throw in a stinking performance like that to punch you in the guts again.I'm not sure I agree that this was a "stinking performance". Blunt? Yes. But that has been a failing for us on many an occasion.
I don't think we deserved the defeat and I am sure DU would not have won it without the officials' wrong interventions, deliberate or otherwise.
Incompetence is one thing, but incompetence which is detrimental to one side on more than one occasion over the course of one match and I can see why the conspiracy theorists are out.

Peter Urminsky signs contract extension until 2027
Big Peter signs a new contract 'til '27.
Given he doesn't even get a look in in cup games I have to wonder if the lad has any belief in himself.
He has played in a couple of games in the past and, if memory serves me, played ok but I would have thought a player would want to play regularly. He's no longer a youngster and he has been looked over numerous times for a loan keepers. Even when Ellery was clearly suffering, the big lad wasn't given a go.
Don't get me wrong. During the warm ups he seems happy enough but has he no ambition?

I've already put my point of view as to the ins and outs, (honestly no pun intended), of this case.
One question I ask is, "Should the Scottish Government pay for a private prosecution given the fact that the Scottish judiciary threw the case out"?
I find it astounding that the word of a drunk woman is taken as true above the word of two equally drunk men to the extent that our taxes would pay for a retrial that has already been tried with the outcome being a promise that said Government office would not be revisiting the case.
-
We thoroughly deserved that victory. We went off the rails a wee bit after the red card fiasco, which didn't even merit the yellow it was reduced to, but we grew back into it and eventually got what we deserved. Olusanya was a nuisance to Aberdeen's defence all day long and took his goal really well. Two wins in a row for the first time in a long time. Well done all.

8 Lower League matches now postponed
Most are meant to have been played on "all weather" pitches. At least Killie game made it. Oh. Wait a minute. They're away today.

This sometimes happened to me when I've applied for cup games in my own seat. I found that coming back out and trying again after a little time it sorted itself.
