As always, a free hit type game. You get anything, fantastic.
It's good having the pressure off for top 6 but if after this weekend, we are still looking quite comfortable in fifth, I’ll be delighted.

Absolutely. Both on and off the park.
Anyone who would have Goodwin in charge rather than Robinson is a complete buffoon.
Don’t think I’ve seen a single St Mirren fan make any claim like that tbf.

Ok, now we've calmed down a bit, I was, and still am, of the opinion Goodwin was/is limited as a manager.
He had a very up and down season with us the season he left, Aberdeen took him on the crest (didn't he have a horrendous run earlier that season?)but I was on record saying they had jumped the gun and he was, IMO, average.
Too defensively minded, a draw and parking the bus against the OF was his idea of fun.
Saying he was our best manager in a generation, purely on league finish is selective and omitting cup victories which should be taken into account so, no , I don't accept that.
As I mentioned earlier, there was growing criticism form the Dundee United support which has slightly abated after the win against Raith.
Let's see how he does next season in the top league.
He wasn’t without his issues but I was baffled by the hard time he got from some fans.
He got a really strong response out of the players he had, be that defensive or not. Him and Robbo (to me) seem quite similar in their ethos here. As in, you can only get what you can get out of the players you have. Sometimes it won’t be attractive, flowing football & it’ll be a slog.
Granted, neither have taken that as far as the Gus years & the infamous ‘go to the cinema’ quote. But they both accept you can’t always try & pass like Real Madrid, when you happen to be St Mirren.

1st season - stopped short due to covid. (Who can say where we would have finished has the league not been terminated after a result that, had it gone the other way, we would have been in deep doo doo)
2nd season 7th
3rd season - left at 6th, not 5th. (From Wiki :At the time of his departure;, the club were sixth in the 2021–22 Scottish Premiership )
Aberdeen lose to Darvel in the Scottish Cup, widely recognised as the worst result in the HISTORY of Aberdeen football club.
Aye, as i said, thanks Aberdeen, you done us a favour.
Yep, fair enough I’m thinking it was one place higher in each case. (Belive we would have went fourth, had we played & won the game in hand) Still season on season improvement. Can only go on what you can regarding Covid & we were 9th. Up from a relegation play off the previous year.
Didn’t work out for him at Aberdeen, as it hasn’t for several Aberdeen managers in a row since McInnes.
You can be critical of Goodwin all you want, you’re factually being critical of someone that took over a team who survived relegation on penalties, and left them in the top six after two and a half seasons.
What other St Mirren manager got us as high as a seventh place finish in the 30 seasons before Goodwin? 🤷♂️
Do you accept, purely on league finish, he was our most successful manager for a generation?

Agreed

Our current manager = higher than Goodwin ever achieved.
You stick with Goodwin, he's more "you". 🤣🤣🤣
Moving the goalposts yet again. Praising Goodwin & calling out your rubbish is in no way, downplaying what the current manager has done.

🤣🤣🤣
Good contribution. Like it or not Goodwin
1st season - 9th
2nd season - 7th (highest league finish in around 30 years)
3rd season - left in 5th, game in hand to go 4th
Faraway ‘not good enough, he’s pish’ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Improved from 9th. 🤣🤣🤣
A low bar, like your intellect. 🤡🤡🤡
Year before that, it was 11th. 🤷♂️
Did Robbo not finish 9th his first season?
What more could anyone ask from Goodwin than improving the league position season on season? Champions league maybe? 😂😂😂

He left part way through a season and achieved nothing.
Our current manager HAS taken us into the top 6 two seasons running.
All your bluff about 4th and a game in hand equals the square root of feck all.
Bazil= fantasy world.
Eh, he improved our league position season on season while he was there without once taking us backwards. How many St Mirren managers can say that?
But that wasn’t your claim was it? It was ‘no chance’ of back to back top 6 finishes. For that to be true, there has to be ‘no chance’ of a manager continuing to improve on his season on season performances.
In other words, you were talking bollocks.

There was no chance, prove me wrong.
Ask Aberdeen fans and until just over a week ago Dundee Utd fans.
Back on your box. 🤡🤡🤡
In his time here, we finished 9th then 7th & he left us in 5th with a great chance to be in 4th with the game in hand we had.
You made the claim, burden of proof there’s ’no chance’Robinson didn’t manage to finish 5th last season, by your logic there is ‘no chance’ he could ever finish 5th.
Faraway Saint - ‘it’s impossible to ever do something you’ve not done before’ 😂😂😂😂😂

We never finished in the top 6.
Nothing is comfortable with St Mirren.
You've made a cnut of yiurself yet again. 🤣🤣🤣
You said there was ‘no chance’ different thing.
no luck wee man.

There you go, deflection and lies.
Stick to what you're best at, making irrational statements like you have done a few times this season.
Everything I said was correct & completely consistent
- left us in the top 6
- had us just off 4th with a game in hand
- it was against the statistically poorest team in the league
- he narrowly missed out on top 6 the season before.
What I didn’t say
- we were 4th
- we would definitely have won our game in hand
- we would definitely have finished top 6 had he stayed
You’re an embarrassment. Too weak just to own up to where you’ve made a mess of it.
-
5 minutes ago, faraway saint said:
So, we DIDN'T make top 6.
As I recall we bottled, as you like to say.
Now he left us in the top 6, not the imaginary 4th you were selling a minute ago which means feck all as I've clearly pointed out.
Werent we 3rd earlier this season?
Oh, that's irrelevant as any fool would know. 🤡
We didn’t make top 6 by a single goal. Goodwin has us comfortably in the top 6 the next season when he leaves = ‘no way’ Goodwin could ever get us top 6 twice in a a row . 😂😂
You made an arse of it. Own it.

Im stating facts, we were 5th.
Only an idiot would try to make a case we were 4th.
Playing the team at the bottom is no guarantee of points, see our result against Livingston recently.
🤡🤡🤡
imagine being so stupid as to think ‘just off fourth place’ means fourth place. 😂😂
We all know you lie & just make things up. Now you’re making up a claim that I guaranteed we’d have won our game in hand with Goodwin. 😅

Not like you to post drivel, then stick with it no matter what the FACTS are.
Then you turn it into your normal "argument " to deflect from your utter stupidity.
How’s it drivel? 😂😂 he left us when we were in the top 6. Not to mention the year before, he was 1 goal away from it in the second half of the 33rd round of fixtures.
Hardly ‘no way’

You can take from what I said, what you like. It’s just fact. Not like you to want an argument.

Just now, faraway saint said:
Just off fourth? 🤣
is that the same as 5th? 🤡
A useless stat as the league positions ate not based on part of a season. 🤣🤣🤣
Just stating facts. We had a game in hand over the team in fourth. And it was against the bottom placed team.
If you were to average it out based on games played, we would have been 4th.
Anyway you look at it though, it’s a better position than we are in now on 4th.

The penalty Rangers just got there, shows the utter lack of consistency & downright cheating in this league. Far, far, far less a penalty than our incident yesterday.

I think we should all send Aberdeen a "Thank You" card for taking Goodwin off our hands.
There's no way we would have had two seasons in the top 6 under him.
Goodwin left us just off fourth place with a game in hand, against the bottom placed club.

Keep going back & forth on this. He is going down before the contact yes, but that’s because the Hearts player has barged into him.
The contact is what topples him & stops a clear goal scoring opportunity. The kicker for me is, the Hearts player is nowhere near the ball & makes clear contact.
I’m back to it being a penalty.

Is Europe on in 5th? Presumably that relies on an OF cup win?

It wasn't a pen , it was a great call from the ref , and it was confirmed when he watched it again. McMenamin's left leg was caught , but he was already going down when there was no initial contact !
Aye, seeing it back fair enough. Just a bit of frustration and anger.

Solid enough second half. Robbed by two truly inexcusable refereeing decisions. The clear handball leading up to the free kick in the first half & not awarding a stonewall penalty with VAR.
Yet another game that highlights the overwhelming negative impact VAR has on professional football.
