Absolutely shit public service. How the feck can the SPFL justify fixtures on days when the main public transport doesn't run. OUT_ FECKING RAGEOUS. Give the scottish rail franchise to some fecker that can run it and get SCOT RAIL to Feck Oh and COYS> See you tomorrow but how i'm gonnae get there I don't know. Scotrail only owns the rolling stock. Main control is Network Rail (owned by Westminster). No trains running down this way tomorrow either.

Even when we were fling high in the early/mid 80s and they had just been promoted and were really struggling. ...one particular game, which I was at, they had hardly any points or goals well in to the season, came to Love St and beat us 2-1. Our goal being a very late consolation by Mark Fulton at the Caledonia End if I mind right! John Pelosi their hard man in midfield and John Brogan up front.... will go try find that game on the programme site. You’ve reminded me of the time we were SPL and they were Championship, and we met in the Scottish Cup (Quarter Final?). We were fortunate to get a draw in Perth thanks to a trademark Andy Dorman finish. Replay at home, the lower league side were 3-0 up at half time and I’m sure they also missed a penalty. We would then get our only penalty of the entire season, and slot it home to finish the game 3-1. As far as home games go, that was one of the worst I’d attended. Shambolic.

TBF they did look pretty decent playing Sevco the other day but take Morelos out that team and there bang average so they weren't exactly up against anything special.. We've got nothing to fear and I fully expect us to take something from this game (hopefully a win) and it's the first time this season I've felt a bit of confidence going into a game....

the barrhead teacher Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 If we put up a solid performance and attitude particularly in defence we are capable of getting something today. Time for some consistency saints. Let's start that today at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Ricky Posted December 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 With only two or three exceptions this will be as big a test as we are going to face playing in the Premiership . But..we are at home and look like we might have found a shape, starting eleven and a bit of form. So...I'm going to stick with a prediction if a 2..0 win for St Mirren.

I would suggest your 2 or 3 is more like 10 ! This is the sort of game we have to target. Despite our record against them this is not the sort of game you are setting it up as. We have got to start backing up our odd good result if we hope to try to pull clear of the trap door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The performance of St Johnstone against us in Perth was as solid as I have seen from any other team this season with only Aberdeen and Hearts (in their first match against us) looking as good. Of course we should be looking for points... That's why I have plumped for a 2:0 home win. What's your prediction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paisleyporridge Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Oh well. Was checking line ups before heading out to match and see it’s already started. Enjoy the game lads. I accept this is my bad for not checking, but perhaps the club have incurred a risk by changing the ko time. Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Started fairly well. No chances for either side but we have had more of the ball.0-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Yeah similar pattern still. Doing okay but not creating anything.Few free kicks from the edge crossed in but no joy.0-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 HT 0-0 Probably about right. Would say we have been the better team in terms of possession but we just haven’t created anything. So many moves breaking down in the final third after getting ourselves in some good positions, there’s a real lack of quality for us up there. St Johnstone look like they’ve had a good Christmas. Very lethargic and haven’t offered much of anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Better side but not a lot created. Cammy Smith has played quite well but I'd like to see him burst forward when linking up with McGinn. Few times he's been primed to get the ball back in a good area but just isn't quite making those runs. All in all, we're doing quite well.

John Gotti Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Stephen McGinn has been the best player on the park so far. Totally agree, he has been excellent and probably having his best game this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
