R1877 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Thought pass marks for most of the boys bar another half arsed performance by thompson. The Keeper looked good IMO. Now quietly confident for top 6 Totally agree- sad to say it but he doesn't look up for it at all. Maybe saving himself for SPL... And he does need a striking partner urgently... Good to see young players coming on though felt Kelly could have taken at least one of his chances..McGinn was a class act tonight. McAusland was better than I've seen him in a while. Liked Grainger - looks solid and committed. Bring on Saturday- with something else up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insaintee Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Insaintee and I got comps,you just don't get it. Lovestreet disgraced himself in hospitality again! Got steaming and had a fight with Cheesey's dad. spent the entire second half throwing up in the toilets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidg Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Goals on sky sports in a minute. Just Cisse goal shown. Looked like Goodwin dropped a bit deep to play him onside. Some finish from a top player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Good workout and good to see a Premiership team at home. They played us off the park but my biggest disappointment was they looke miles fitter than us. Maybe we cannot match them for skill but I was hoping we could match them for stamina but it was far from it. Maybe we are saving ourselves for Saturday but our fitness looked pretty poor to me.

NeilPar72 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 4 planes, 3 seagulls, £2.20 for small cola and our goalie has played well. What game were you watching??? 300 might be more apt! Was actually quite ridiculous at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidg Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Nice moment when Cheick Tiote climbed into the stand at half time and gave his shirt to the young St. Mirren fan who he hit with the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Enjoyable evening's fitba. Give me one pre-season fixture like this every season and I'll be happy. Newcastle were better because they have better players. Slick, sharp passing and great movement. We competed well and stuck at it - a gubbing was never on the cards. Guys like Cisse and Coloccini are class. From a St Mirren POV, we must, no argument, we simply MUST get some support to the Thommohawk. He is fit for his age, but he is fighting a losing battle up there on his lonesome. Secondly - and this will really get on my tits if it continues during the season - there is absolutely no fcuking point in Jim Goodwin humping 50 yard high balls in the general direction of Thomas Reilly. None whatsoever. Danny Lennon - put an end to this madness right now. Still, an enjoyable night, good atmosphere, a pleasant change from the usual SP(F)L opposition, and some quality footballers on display in the Newcastle side.

santaponsasaint Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Just showed it there. Hard to tell from the camera angle but it looked a close call. Even the player thought he was offside, he stopped then realised there was no flag, poor decision, but were used to poor refs in Scotland, standard is piss poor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray7 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Best team to play at the new stadium, without a doubt. Ben Arfa, Ameobi, Coloccini and Cisse just ooze class, we stood up to them well. McGinn, in particular, didn't look out of place at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmckinn Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Did anyone else notice Pardew applauding young McGinn when he was substituted. Thought he was our best player out there tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeato Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Sitting right at the line, I would have called it as offside. But even if it WAS just onside, then a 2-0 result against a team like Newcastle is nothing to be ashamed off. We survived the entire second half without conceding, I'm actually incredibly impressed with Cornell. Looked really good at cmmanding his post. He looked gash at Morton, looked much better at Stockport and now really looks like he's up for it! He kept a clean sheet at the weekend and there really wasn't mch he could have done for the first goal (it as a fantastic shot). The second goal everyone assumed was offside. We bit worrying he paused to wait for the flag rather than just defending the shot and looking for the flag after but hey ho, he'll know better next time. Disapointed in Thommo, he really isn't getting anything without the support up front that he needs. We may be able to keep a clean sheet now with a (moderately) better defence than last season, but you don't win games unless you actually score something.

davidg Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Reilly and McGinn have good futures, I thought they both did well tonight. Hope Thomas avoids injury and can get a run in the team this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Yards Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Watching Reilly on the left in the first half reminded me of a young Steven mcgarry! Thought dummett was outstanding tonight, didn't put a foot wrong and just shows you what playing alongside top players does. Didn't look out of place, hope he manages to get into the 1st team squad for the premiership matches this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
