St Mirren v Motherwell 9/1/21

[ironsaints87 235]

Need some entertainment. So think I'll go watch some paint dry. That was f**king dire. Didnt deserve a point. Could have 2 or 3 down by half time. Durmuss looked better than the other 11 put together. Maybe with the exception of McGrath and Alnwick. Deserved nothing but nicked a point. Coys

Totally agree

[northstbuddie 1,300]

One minute the St Mirren TV commentator is saying their goalkeeper hasn't had a save to make all game and then when we score from our fortuitous penalty our goal was well deserved  - maybe he meant 'Well' deserved.

Can't believe so many on here struggled to find anything enjoyable about that today. 
Maybe football at our level isn't for you guys?

🤣

Suspicious Mind, surely ?

Better in second half but not at our best today and lucky we weren’t at least 2 down by half time.

Mcgrath has developed into a key player for us and once again cool as f#ck with the pen.

I think some fans have unrealistic expectations about saints, it all has to be put in comparison with previous seasons, we are playing the best football that I have seen in the last 5 years and can hold our own against any team in the league, what’s not enjoyable about that?

No drama Obika and Mason injured. Goody says Obika a week or two but Mason more serious

By that logic you think Motherwell deserved all 3 points?

Really?

If that's what he meant - I would agree with him.

'Well made the usual mistake of sitting back and wasting time - instead of continuing to outplay us as they had been in the first half.

Our effort wasn't lacking this afternoon, but the quality certainly was.

Again, you reckon Motherwell deserved all 3 points on that showing today?????
Did you not say the same thing last week about Killie?

You go and watch your mediocre football. And thats being generous. Out the 2 teams you couldn't make 1 decent team. Sums up the SPL utter rubbish. But if your enjoying it I'm happy for you. Now I have more exciting things to do like walk the dog.

We really need to concentrate on hitting the target, it would make life so much easier.

I think compared to what we had been used to last couple of months today was disappointing. The massive positive is this squad has bags of character and we score plenty late goals and win a lot of points from losing positions. That in itself is a huge improvement on previous seasons. Today we didn't play well but we dug in and earned our point. To say it was an enjoyable watch though is stretching things a bit.

Maybe your cooler and more uber intelligent than the rest of us. Maybe Thommo can get you a job on sportscene.

Really enjoying my football at the moment.

You should stop playing with your playstation then 

[Bud the Baker 8,962]

So am I getting this right - no OF team playing today so no SPFL Sportscene till tomorrow night once Sevco have played which is no use because I'm working on Monday and Sportscene isn't on till past my bedtime! 😴 

[party politics 62]

Cammy, Flynn and Foley must be wondering what they need to do to get a game in that midfield.

[faraway saint 31,704]

Last two games, two massive bits of luck.

At the end of the day points make prizes.

As a few have mentioned we are not as sharp as were up to the Rangers league cup game, since then, certainly dropped off IMO.

What. beating Motherwell at home us unrealistic. Strange.

Someone actually watches Sportscene

[lenziebud 1,259]

Good point given the level of performance for 70mins. Not been playing well for a number of games now.

Have to say I thought Lee Erwin did well last 30 mins. Hold up play and lay offs were good.

Erwin looked a far better player when Brophy came on. Brophy looks like he will give us what we have been lacking up front. As will Quaner.

Connolly is a threat and has bags of pace but his distribution and final ball are abysmal.

McAllister is not close to Premiership level and needs to be binned. How he starts I'll never know.

2 points dropped but given the performance 1 point gained.

Some people actually listen to the radio on matchday.

Another big mention for Jim's Jim's substitutions yet again. Changed the pattern of the game. I don't know if McAllister was getting hooked anyway but the passage of play immediately before him leaving was pitiful. He had a good start on the big Well defender but appeared to be running in treacle as the big man easily out paced him over 20m or so. It was sad to watch.

Listening now post match. We are getting excellent analysis for a change, cant think why ???

Sportscene is on BBC Scotland (channel 9) from 7.15 on Sunday evening. The late night programme on BBC1 is a repeat.

Is 7.15 past your beddy-bobos time, BTB ?
