We could've been 2 or 3-0 down before we went 1-0 up mate.Do you only watch the end SMFC are attacking?
Until our first goal I watched two nervous teams. After our first goal St Mirren were the better team by quite some distance. EDIT Just checked the game stats on BBC. St Johnstone had 2 shoots on target whe whole game.

Class act.

Before we scored we looked as if we were heading for another defeat.
Being positive is good but think you're getting carried away IOBS.I still cant believe the St J player put that one by the post from close range.
Anyway,victory from the jaws of defeat is pleasing.
Tell me any St Mirren fan who gets carried away.. Stand by what I said Mullen hit the inside post. Who was it that was through instead of scoring himself passed the ball.

The two positives to take from yesterday were a precious three points, and the fact that at least one team are currently worse than us.
We could have lost it in the first half if the fakes had their shooting boots on.
We will have to be markedly better against every other team in the league.
Pleased with the points, move to next week.We could easily been 4 up. But hey that's being positive.

Honestly its total delusion. McGinn being in the team today had heehaw to do with us winning. We were the poorer side in the first half. The second half was different all over the pitch and the goal gave us a massive lift. Obika started to look like what he had been brought to the club for and the confidence in his game started to show. The second goal from Mullen was class but he looked poor in the first half much better in the second. Morais looked more positive too, probably to do with the fact that we were on the front foot against a very poor St J side who lacked fight and passion.
There is no way that dropping Ryan Flynn for McGinn is the way forward. I wouldn't drop Andreu either for him. Back on the bench Stephen and step in when needed, that's his role this season.
Stephen McGinn got man of the match in the Sunday Mail. May I suggest you watch the game and not planes or gulls.

Cant say I am feeling confident today going to be a nervy game.

You misunderstand my post. I was agreeing with you regarding the criticism of the club by another poster.

Any Buds know if non members can still get into the club bar after the game on Saturday ?
Just checked 1877 club e-mail for the St Johnstone game. The bar is open to all after the game.

Yes it matters and it's quite right to question the motives of those giving. Virtue signalling needs to be shown up for what it is. It's very important that people understand the way other humans think and act.
There seems to be a growing obsession with people attempting to the grab the moral high ground, as TPAK thingy did earlier. It's become a cultural thing. Like I said, it needs calling out at every opportunity.
You are away one one here. So your saying giving a bag of messages for the food bank is for self satisfaction or to have the high moral ground. Years ago I stopped the car on Gilmour street because it was pissing down and freezing. It was obvious a poor soul walking the streets in rags and not shaven in weeks was homeless. I got out the car and gave the guy money to go get something to eat and a hot drink. Did I do that for self satisfaction or to be on the high moral ground. I did it because my heart went to that man. I felt very sad for him. I did the same in Cape Town for a young couple who had a baby again because my heart went out to them. Probably I'm a big daft softie in these circumstances. Tell you what though thank f**k the world is not full of people with your mind set. You would have made a good SS officer.

I tent towards agreement with you rather than LPM, though I am sitting on the fence a bit about Stephen.
It could be because of injuries, his lack of fitness early season, and last season. Yet, at his best, if he still has that, he is a truly decent player.
I cannot see him being put straight into the team precisely because he is not really match fit at Premiership level. I don't think he has even played in u21 matches to help either.
So unless Flynn or Foley are out, Stephen will be on the bench, and he is only likely to get some game time if either pick up an injury or go well off form.
I don't think Flynn and Foley are the problem in our team currently. Whether Steven could add something or not, it is the broken bits that need fixing right now.
Creating and scoring goals. Massive game must win category.

You should try London. The problem of aggressive begging is out of control. I personally witnessed a beggar following a young woman up a street from Tottenham Court Road and a group of them spitting at a young couple who wouldn't give them anything. One of them came up behind me and my daughter and screamed near the Shakespeare Globe before storming off. Honestly I was torn about chasing the bastard down and giving him a thump. I just managed to stop myself going into full blown chimp mode.
Nobody should EVER give money or food to these people. That advice comes from homeless charities. There are plenty of organised places they can go to get food.
Con men are everywhere in sales, Ebay even beggars. But it cant take away the fact food bank use is up. Homeless is up , children in poverty is up all have been on the news recently and news paper articles. We cant even begin to imagine what it's like to be in such a position. The whole problem became a lot worse when austerity kicked in cuts everywhere. But hey hoo top bankers who were at fault for austerity walked away with lottery equivalent wins for collapsed banks Should never be forgotten that's why we are where we are today creating poverty on a whole new level. The same banks now closed many rural banks. No Royal bank in Bute now. Got a letter telling me if I wanted to bank business cash at night to use Largs . Now the same banks are closing more and more cash machines with more cash machines charging for taking money. Quite unbelievable this is aloud to happen given they brought the country to its knees. Today there are more millionaires and billionaires living in the UK than ever before. Worker rights are vastly disappearing also. The whole political system is in shocking need of a fix. Thank God I'm not coming out of school today to the work place. The poor pay the highest price dont let con men or woman beggars take away the fact there are people out there needing help. My job took me to some of the most poverty stricken places in the world. These places have the highest crime rates in the world. The link between poverty and crime is huge for obvious reasons.

There is no poorer opposition to date - we need to keep them down as much as attempt to rise up !
I hope we win I will be in attendance. But I dont think St Johnstone are as bad as their league position suggest which is worrying. We need to score it's that simple something we are having difficulty doing.

For me it took around 15 hrs in total. Left at 6pm arriving around 9am. No motorway after Bristol didn't help.
Drove it around 1992 through the night in about 9hrs/ 10hrs I think.
The things you can do when young. I took my wife on a driving Holiday VW Polo in 1987 to Europe we did Holland, Germany Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria. We did it in 10 days 3,000. Could not dream of doing that now.

So important to win this game if not we could drift out the pack with tough games coming up.

This thread is now totally irrelevant Ross moved to what he thought was bigger and better earned more money( fair play as anyone on here that states they wouldnt take a pay rise with another employer takes out the a hole) anyone on here that has moved employer simply cant say they told their current employer in advance unless under the threat of redundancy to which you are allowed to look elsewhere. I simply cant see the on going fascination of what Ross does or doesnt do and what he did or didnt do all mooted points now we have a manager and a team that need our backing
For me his tenure was exciting, full of drama in the early day's then it was click. As an old song goes Ain't No Stoppin us now. Goody is the manager has my 100% backing might take time but he will come good.

When watching Scotland why does it remind me of watching St Mirren.

Oh right we won because St Johnstone were bad here was me thinking over the 90min we were the better team. Thank you for pointing that out. On a more serious note. Why not enjoy the win after all they dont come along as often as we like.
