Mr Zo Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Strange breakdown from Alan Combe at halftime. WTF was that all about? He seemed genuinely angry at some banter from the saints support and lost the plot for 60 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whydowebother Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Like the fact Sky Sports News said 'As Hibs drew 2-2 at Love Street' That said a draw at home against Hibs is still a good result. We don't lose much at home these days, expect some goal fests as pressure is off in remaining games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Urquhart Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Combe was hilarious. Highlight of one of the best home games this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Haven't we been winning more often than not recently? Yes, but we could win more often if we consistently pressed the opposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jake Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 I enjoyed the game after we equalised. Before that we sat back and allowed them the freedom of the pitch. Our game plan seemed to be just to launch the ball anywhere. I thought big Webster had his best game for us to date. Was it maybe because he was playing Hibs? If Rae can get that battling performance from the players every week the fans will get on side a lot more like today. Well done to the players today. Finally Alan Combe ! What a total prick !

Broadcastcallum Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Not a win but a game full of gusto after the first 25 mins. Enjoyed doing the radio commentary/coverage today - a change for me on a home game anyway. Late goal sickener for home fans but had a bit of everything.

nosferatu Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Yes, but we could win more often if we consistently pressed the opposition. What if the opposition consistently press us?

JJ McG Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 When the ball enters the box 9 times out of 10 shankland will finish it, the boy is a monster. He's a player I would push the boat out to bring back next season, don't think we will get much better than him, the boy is only 20 years old.

shull Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Good entertainment Much better Team performance Hopes are very high for glory next Season. Gary Irvine was outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Zo Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Shanklands goal was very Barry Lavety in his pomp. I sometimes see a bit of Lavety in Shankland, a player not blessed with a great deal of pace but a brilliant touch and a terrific nack for scoring goals and some of them very special. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) What if the opposition consistently press us? And what is the point of pressing the opposition anyway? McGinn, in particular, was given all the time and space in the world during the first half to ping passes about. When he was closed down more effectively in the second he became frustrated and faded out of the game. Likewise Cummings, who picked up a booking for throwing a huff after the ball was nicked from him. It's very simple, really, and I suspect, as is typical, you are at the fanny here, Andy.

Stuart Dickson Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Our first was onside as the ball was actually played by the Hibs defender to Quinn. I actually thought Cummings was fractionally offside for their first goal.Anyway despite Mr Dickson once again trying to be controversial this was a splendid display by Saints more so given the difference in the two team's budgets. Hmmm...well the highlights will be on TV soon enough. The linesman didn't move at all. Normally when a goal is scored he'd run to the centre line. This one didn't move. One thing you learn watching and playing football is the reactions of those around it usually tell more about what happened and the reaction of the players was utter confusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Pityme Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Have to say yesterday was the best ninety minutes performance I Have seen this season. By a long way too! Interesting to note how much more organised, solid and postive we looked without Agnew anywhere in sight! And no midfield bombscare moments. Thought Rae missed a trick not counting the clock down by throwing all the subs on, a cameo from Goody getting in some faces and wasting a few more minutes might have helped us see it out for three points. Aye the home boycott is in tatters, but since I will be owning the club soon Just thought I would pitch up for the remaing home games and pick the players for the list i will be submitting to SMISA as my squad for next season. First one out the door is Phil the PA man... What a f**king atrocious selection of tunes that guy plays..eh? "Call me Al" is now a goal celebration tune??? Not on my watch! It will be the intro to "No More Heroes" and "Go Buddy Go" from here on in. What the f**k was he playing at the end, was that the Crossroads theme???

One thing you learn watching and playing football is the reactions of those around it usually tell more about what happened and the reaction of the players was utter confusion To be honest, I didn't celebrate the goal at all, as I was sure it would be disallowed. Not sure what I based this on, as I had no idea whether it was offside or not from where we sit. It did seem, though, that the Hibs players effectively stopped playing, which suggests something was potentially afoot. Thing is though, every school kid who plays knows that you play to the whistle.

Mid Calder Saint Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Don't often agree with LP I did mention earlier about the misuse of subs certainly Goody should have been on to shore things up with Morgan on for a bit of pace.Every team who won at our place this season used their subs to advantage with players coming off at snail's pace to run down the clock.On the subject of music Phil should mix it s little for old timers like me what about "glad all over" by Dave Clark played at few Premiership grounds down south.

I think it was collective disbelief as it was as if there was a delayed reaction. I thought the goal was being disallowed as well without knowing why.
