Desperately Seeking Susans Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) I would like to emphasize the part played by Magennis in subduing Celtic's most dangerous player, Forrest. I thought he played really well in what was a very difficult task. Bringing on Coulson to play a forward role was good thinking by OK. I think Coulson is probably a better forward than he is a fullback. It's a pity he didn't have more time to prove himself in this new position. Congratulations to all tonight.

Claims he doesn’t like to criticise officials but thought the sending off was wrong! Claims Ntcham didn’t touch him. Brendan son, wrong wrong wrong. Wonder if he’ll admit it when he watches it on replay I thought his first booking was a bit harsh, as was Edwards (all be it I haven’t seen replays) Ntcham’s second booking was foolish and probably done out of frustration, but a booking none the less. So he had to go. His first booking was for persistent fouling (for three fouls that on another day; each might have been given a yellow for) ergo not unwarranted and his second was his ego, because he lost the ball he thought I can't let that go and hence the second (correctly given) yellow. A schoolboy error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that way he would not only be acting like a clown but look the part! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemp Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Celtic were a shambles against a team that had one week to prepare. The spirit of last season is back. Shame we couldn't exploit them in the second half, but that will come. The Saints Are Coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stegman Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Anton Ferdinand never knew most of his team-mates names and was not match fit. Edwards never knew most of his team-mates names and has just arrived. Our new boss was making a huge step up to full time management and as above, hardly even knows the players names. We were playing the Champions with top quality players. We have been shipping four in under thirty minutes and have been out before it’s half-time. Our record against that mob is hardly stellar, a 7-0 gubbing would not have been unthinkable. ... and we got a point. Personally, I’d have been happy had we just looked a bit more organised and had tried our best. Bloody great point...Sutton, you wank.^^^^^^^^^^^100% spot on.All I hoped for was effort, organisation and team spirit which we got, plus some. We have our club back.

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Don’t want to get too carried away after one match, but last night suggests an exoneration of the board’s decision to bag Stubbs nice and early. Ordinarily we could’ve been waiting till Xmas for a performance like that and by then we might’ve been all but relegated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norman Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Absolute night and day compared to the previous games this season. Players looked motivated, confident and committed. The one thing they didn't look was fit enough to play with a high enough level of intensity in the second half, but that will come. It's just a real pity we couldn't take one of those first half chances. Thought Ferdinand and Edwards had very promising debuts. Mullen, Smith, Magennis and Baird all looked like new signings and a special mention for Hodson, playing out of position against James Forrest. I thought he did really well. Mind you, he did get a bit of a breather for that half hour where Rodgers inexplicably played that big donkey Ajer out there. We were just letting him have the ball and waiting for him to f**k up.

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Would have bitten your hand off for a draw before the game bloody he'll we could have won that with a bit of luck. Every player played their part the first half was like a continue of last season well done Oran for putting the spirit back in the club. Had two Celtic mates round last night for grub and beer. One took it well the other not which took me by surprise as we are quite close he thought it was going to be four or five. My phone is full of texts this morning from none Saints fans congratulating me . Sutton what a silly man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 My major disappointment is that we went out to 16/1 just after the start and I stuck a small wager on us which, at half time, was looking quite good. Never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insaintee Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 What a performance. Baird for me outstanding at the back. McGinns both superb. Mullen and Smith show what forwards should do, cover every blade of grass.. Flynn excellent. Sammy does the business when needed. As Div said F*ck you Stubbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proudtobeabuddy Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Great performance by the boys last night which just proves how bad a job Stubbs was doing. I thought the passion and will to win was back in the team and the early signs are that we will start to look like a decent team again. One down side to the game last night was the constant pro IRA songs being sung from our home end. It is my opinion that no amount of extra revenue is worth it, it's bad enough at their place. Our share of the crowd was significantly lower last night because of this poor decision give them our home end. I think lots of fans gave it a miss and i don't blame them, games against the OF are my least favourite games of the season because of the sectarian bile coming from their fans.

southsidebud Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Remember how disappointed we were drawing over 90 mins with Queens Park and Spartans just a few weeks ago? It's a testament to how well OK got us organised that there was also a bit of disappointment about how we 'only' got a draw against Celtic last night. For me a point was absolutely fine - but I'll take others' higher bar as a sign that things are certainly moving in the right direction!

Ayrshire Saints Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Promising platform for OK to build from. Ferdinand while clearly not fit was a class above anyone Stubbs was able to attract and everyone looked committed and motivated. Thought we were a bit too passive in the second half and when you see the fitness and physique of the Celtic players compared to us (especially upper body strength) you do have to wonder how much effort has been put into training and pre season but that is fixable. Got to get points on the board and while a point against Celtic is always welcome we need to be regularly taking points off our bottom six rivals starting next week at Hamilton. Onwards and upwards.

insaintee Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Quite a lot made of "Dropped points," and "playing for a draw,." in some quarters (JS). Let me just say that Celtic went out second half to play a safety first keep posession game. They kept posession by playing it between the back three and taking next to no risk going forward. Rodgers set out his team to do this after going to ten men and having a horror show in the first half. I think Celtic were as guilty of accepting a point as we were, maybe more so. They showed almost no ambition going forward and did nothing with their posession . Having said that, if Griffiths had been on side, we'd be hearing about a Rodger tactical master class. When St Mirren did get the ball, they pushed forward and tried to attack. When not on the ball they defended strongly. Great point. Sutton is just mad that we did not go for it, leave ourselves exposed and lose to a sucker punch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
