Aye sitting in the fu***ng stand.

Apparently one of the options being considered by UEFA is to do away with Champions and Europa league qualifiers for next season so from Scotland Point of view we wouldn't have any European places. Other rumours doing the rounds on Sports media BBC/Skysports etc is UEFA are desperate for the Champions and Europa Leagues to finish presumably sponsorship money plays a part in this but with the travel bans now in place all over Europe now think they will definitely be binned along with Euro 2020. If Euro 2020 was only thing to be binned(until 2021) and Domestic, Champions and Europa Leagues started back say sometime in May you would have Football from May 2020 right through until May 2022. My opinion is best solution is to bin everything start afresh in August.

UEFA meeting on Tuesday via Conference call with every domestic European league, also obviously discussing UEFA 2020, Champions League & Europa League. My feeling is they will just finish football everywhere start afresh in August as too many football people complaining about closed door matches and seeing as there is no end in sight think the easiest solution for them is to finish everything now.

You would think definitely, to be fair I thought they were safe as the chances of all 3 teams below them winning enough games to trouble County looked very unlikely 2/3 weeks ago. County have a strange run of fixtures that is either good or bad depending how you look at it, they have 8 games left - 2 v St Mirren 2 v Hamilton 2 v Hearts 1 v St Johnstone 1 v Kilmarnock. Everything is in their hands with fixtures like that.

Goodwin on Radio says - Mccarthy is a Hamstring injury, Mcpherson is a dead leg that swelled up alot after he left pitch, Durmus is a tweak on his groin. Might be lucky if 1 of them make it Saturday with those injuries and playing on the plastic pitch. Also on Radio Stendel praised St Mirren fighting qualities and also said to go 1-0 down here with the fans getting right behind the team was always going to be difficult.

Naismith lucky to avoid 2nd yellow for a blatant dive.

Great chance for a 2nd their turned ball over in middle of park Mcgrath sends Jakubiak in on goal but a bit wide should have probably went straight across 6 yard box for a tap in chose to shoot keeper saved for corner.

Boyce on for Claire, Foley at centre half and their poor first half probably influenced that decision.

Half Time probably the better team their right back looked really dodgy early doors but last couple of minutes Durmus was poor in 1v1 against him. Like mentioned Mcpherson brought out good save from their keeper with a similar chance to Durmus 2 goals v Aberdeen and Kilmarnock if anything Cammy caught it too well one of them if he mishits it probably goes in. One thing we thought Saints could exploit is every free kick we put our players right on 18 yard line furthest side of box leaving a massive gap for a late run into box from near side. In general though our set pieces have been best they have been for a while.

Saints playing a 4-5-1 with Jakubiak right midfield. Wallace, Foley , Mcpherson the midfield 3, Durmus on the left.

In Stadium 10 mins to kick off and it's pretty empty a bit like the dot counters head.

I'm also on the Facebook page & imo it has quite alot of happy clappers on there that also think everything is great because we have more points than last season, ignoring the fact we are below Hamilton and Ross County.

You missed out Livingston, Hamilton, ICT & Ross County who as much as we think we are bigger than you could argue they are bigger than us. ICT & Ross County have both been in top 6 in last 10 years. Have both not won the League Cup too??? Hamilton have finished higher than us in league placings 6 years in a row. Livingston will finish higher than us 2 years in a row with 1 top 6 finish. Of the teams you mentioned Partick and Dundee have both been top 6 in last 10 years. I would like at least 1 or 2 seasons to see us finishing 6/7th without worrying about relegation but we have went through 10 managers, hundreds of players over last 20 years and never got anywhere near it where other similar sized clubs have.
