We are where we are because of, well, us. All the "wailing" last night was close to hysteria, as usual. Blaming everybody, where was the "I blame Cheesy" classics", while ignoring we've had 24 games and won a massive 3, yes, 3. The "shite" teams above us have won 5 & 6 respectively. If we could get a win tonight it could be an absolute defining point in our season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't affect us at all Ayr could still have won whether Raith had a keeper or not but seeing as Ayr are now 1 point behind Raith Rovers if Raith finish 9th & Ayr finish 8th and are within 3 points then Raith could surely claim this cost them more than anyone else. If Raith then proceed to lose the play off then this farce will have the Raith board and SPFL looking complete rockets. The only people to blame for St Mirren being 8 points behind Ayr are ourselves.

MarkL Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 The thing that annoyed me was this summed up our season a wee bit. Ayr and Dumbarton have picked up some very unlikely results when you least expect us to claw back the deficit.Of course we only have ourselves to blame but we are due some other results to go our way.Need a result tonight imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
div Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Totally agree with Ronnie above. The pantomime which took place around last nights game doesn't really change a lot for us. Sure it pushes Ayr further ahead for now, but it absolutely ensures beyond doubt that Raith are very much in this. In actual fact having two teams to aim for (I'll exclude Dumbarton and Dunfermline as they are both in decent form) makes it more likely we could survive, and even have an outside chance of still grabbing 8th. It's important to remember that we are currently in the position we are in because of our rank rotten form up until December. Since then it has been far from spectacular I grant you but we've still performed miles better. We've won 4 of our last 6 games in all competitions and lost just 2 of our last 9 matches. Raith on the other hand have not won any of their last SEVENTEEN matches in all competitions. Ayr's win last night was their first victory in FIFTEEN matches in all competitions (after 90 mins) and they beat a team without a goalkeeper 1-0! Raith have played the manager card but there's been no obvious bounce for them save a point at home to Hibs. We all saw for ourselves how poor Ayr were on Saturday and they haven't beaten us in 5 attempts so far this season. There's a long way to go. Keep the Faith and keep backing the team and we can still get ourselves out of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linwood buddie Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 McCall says that Raiths keeper situation had no bearing on the outcome. He should be a bit concerned that his team could only muster a 1-0 win against a team without an actual keeper. As already stated on here , Raith have had a keeper problem for a few weeks now and should have dealt with it , the League aren't going to knock back a request for an emergency loan and then allow Hibs one , hopefully. Its really down to us , we need to get the points on the board, and getting something tonight is a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Raith had more shots than Ayr and missed some great chances in the game. Raith supporters are blaming their strikers for the loss and not their goalkeeper. Disappointing result but outwith our control. Tonight is within our control so let's do this.

And that is exactly what our management team should be emphasising to our players: "See that team we're chasing? They're so crap they only scored once against a team with no proper keeper". No point moaning about it, nothing we could do. Judging by the size of this thread a lot of folk hadn't realised yesterday was Pancake Day.

Raith already had 4 but could have either signed a free agent, an under-21 keeper on a development loan, or requested special dispensation to have another loan signing given their keeper crisis. By their own admission they opted to play Stevenson ahead of a development goalkeeper, and they didn't bother their arse with the other two routes. Hell mend them. If that was my club I'd be absolutely raging. Hope they go down, we finish 8th and Goody pumps Ayr in the play offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because I wasn't wetting my knickers over something that didn't influence the game doesn't mean I don't see the importance of other games.

div Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Totally get the dejection of looking at the table this morning and seeing it back to 8 pts again. Had we lost on Saturday though we would now be 14 pts behind Ayr so let's not dismiss what was achieved at Somerset Park. Accepting that tonight in particular is a very difficult match, what if we managed to beat Hibs and then went to Starks next week and won too? In that scenario we'd be 2pts behind Ayr Utd and 3 pts behind Raith with a game in hand. That's how quickly things can change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, Hibs are absolutely taking the piss. A club that size say they have no player that can adapt to the centre half role or a young centre half. Not right to bend the rules like that. Speaking to a number of celtic fans today there are all absolutely delighted to offload Ambrose. They blame him for just about every defensive feck up in the history of Celtic FC. They reckon he'll be worth an extra man to us tonight. Let's hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a Keeper last night, last week and every week before that. And they will have a Keeper next week also. Drama queens indeed. Stevenson is probably a more competent goalie than a few of ours over the decades. Herriot, Gilmour, Fridge, Scrimmy, Chris Smith, Howard, Langfield.

DougJamie Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Nothing has changed here....................... Ayr beat Raith big deal............ Raith had 14 shots against Ayr who managed 2 against us. Raith don't have a goalie. It just shows how crap both teams are. I am glad Raith are now in mix Over to Saints. last 10 league matches W 3 D 4 L 3 , add 4 cup wins including Dundee away.............. so that 7 wins for Jack and the team, that's eh form...... Even if we lose tonight so what, we beat Raith, Ayr again and Sons plus a few other results we stay up in 8th..... Keep the faith---- Its great being a Saints fan...................................

StanleySaint Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Despite all the circumstances surrounding the goalie situation they only improved their goal difference by 1 which could have been a lot worse if Stevenson had been terrible. So minimum damage as we all expected an Ayr win on hearing the news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
