Surely if you have managed to watch 90 mins, an other 3 mins shouldn't be a problem since the game was still to be won. Surely if you can hold a pish in for 90mins another 3 shouldn't have be a problem, probably an age thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you mean 120 minutes St Mirren 1-0 Dunfermline Athletic - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42290636 Well apart from another assist when he passed it for Cammy Smith to score and win us the game. Sorry if you didn't see him setting up another goal for us. Not being pedantic but McShane passed it to Reilly, Reilly passed it to Smith. It's Reilly's assist.

the barrhead teacher Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 To get bigger crowds you are relying on punters making decisions to attend for a variety of reasons. The cold, Christmas and cost of entry are inevitably factors. As a ST holder l was unable to attend yesterday due to family commitments in run up to festive season. As regards comparing our crowds to others, do not forget saints take big away support to these grounds swelling attendances. We have a solid hard core support and at this time of year it is difficult to add to that, even when we are riding high in the league.

Kemp Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Yep, hopefully in the New Year we will see our attendances surge. I think a lot of people are still traumatised from their miserable afternoons at the stadium over the past 5 years. Once they see we are serious about the title challenge some of the lapsed supporters will come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 I don't really understand why people are complaining about the crowd. It seemed pretty decent to me considering the time of year. For most people this is a pretty busy weekend. People's partners, kids and grandkids are busy as well and it's not always possible to leave it all to someone else while you head off to the football. That's probably part of the reason for the early leavers too. Getting home 15 minutes earlier than usual can still salvage some brownie points!

The fact a ref changed his mind after discussions with officals the ref changed his mind I can't remember ever seeing a ref change his mind. Jack Ross in his interview comends the ref rightly that was huge. Yes the ref made some errors but to change his mind on a penalty was a brave and right well done the ref. According to The Herald the reason for the change of mind by the ref and assistant was the admission by Ryan Williamson that Eck had not fouled him! Full marks to Williamson.

FTOF Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Looks to me as if the 'keeper knocks it wide with his hand outside of the box, thus preventing a clear goal scoring opportunity. Reilly was running at a slight angle, but would have been clean through on goal if the 'keeper hadn't handled it. At the point when the 'keeper handled it there were no players between Reilly and an open goal. Clear sending off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsmfc Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 I think it could be interpreted and justified either as a red or a yellow. Yet another incident that highlights the subjective nature of the rules. The rulebook needs rewritten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, shows why we should cut refs some slack. They need to make a split second decision - there are people watch that numerous times on a replay and still can't get it right!

QOS is now a bit far for me to drive at this time of year (I live in Stirling). I have a season ticket and go to all games home and away with the recent exception of Inverness and now QOS. I might miss the games against Dundee United (A Friday Evening) and against Morton on 2 January due to family commitments. I guess a lot of us have more of these at this time of year. Strange thing is that if the games were on Saturday 30 December and 1 January then I could attend - But I am sure others couldn't . Top of the league definitely means more fans travelling to away games. Our crowds are on the up but I was dissapointed at the crowd attending the DAFC game - both the number of our fans and those of Dunfermline.

The ref' doesnae always get it right and CC has previous but I do think he got it right with the penalty decision as Ekersley had cleared the ball by the time the Dung player hit the deck as if he had heard a bomb go aff. .
