Should have been another red card for that tackle at the end.

That was a straight red he had both feet off the deck , lucky man to only get a yellow.

[Ayrshire Saints]

About 6 yellows and 1 red - so far..
 
a minute of ET left.
 
Goodwin deserves some priase for this turnaround but the ref is shite.
 
FT

What decisions today were shite bar him issuing a yellow to Hayes rather than red. Got most things right.

[Ayrshire Saints]

Amazed by the lack of post match comment after a game like that.

Hayes booking was a clear red. Wasn’t totally convinced about the second booking that led to Aberdeen going down to ten and Collum is an erratic referee, but great display from us after this opportunity. Cannot remember the last time we handled playing against 10 so well and scored the goals required to win. We were well out of it before this change of fortunes. Great to get the win. Hopefully we can kick on.

I'm amazed elvis hasn't been in spreading his usual happiness...........................oh, that's only when we lose. 

I've just been reading the Aberdeen forum, a very pleasant read.

Sunday afternoon on a sunny bank holiday weekend alot will most likely be in the pub. Unfortunately for me I'm not one of them I have to make do with a 10 hour nightshift hopefully the 2 Aberdeen fans are working tonight also.

Red card changed the game. Thank goodness we took advantage. Managed the latter part of the game pretty well and ultimately deserved the points.

The rain cometh unfortunately already here on the Ayrshire coast despite sitting basking in glorious sunshine with a beer just after arriving home.

That could have been a straight red on its own, sole of the boot right onto McGrath's ankle.

My first look at Aberdeen for a long time today.Very disapointed by their physical display. Fouls count must have been pretty high. The Scott Brown effect? Thugg-erdeen?

22 Fouls

Aberdeen were dirty bassas today, thought they were very fortunate to finish the game with just one red card.

Thankfully we took advantage of the extra man and put in a very decent 2nd half performance.

Next person to say a team desperate to end a bad run just has to play us to get a win needs reminded of today’s result.  It often feels like we give teams a win to break their bad runs but every team (outside the old firm) thinks this, todays win shows it doesn’t always happen.

1 win isn't going to change my fear when I hear the dreaded words of a reporter stating our opponents are in a bad run of form. 40 plus years watching the Mirren, lol 

Just happy I've got nothing to moan about tonight, lol

Good 2nd half performance again 10 men, moved the ball about well and used our spare man well

[Delpierro2]

Much needed victory, hopefully follw up with a win at Livvy.

[Sonny]

Biggest problem today was playing two defensive midfielders which simply doesn't work as they sit too deep leaving a huge gap in front and allowing little support to Brophy. I realise we were up against 10 men but taking Erhahon off meant more players in midfield where we could compete and support the strikers. Great result in the end though. Aberdeen should have been out of sight in the first half but we dominated the second. We finally played well against 10 men.

[Dare]

Agree that having both Erahon and Power in our midfield doesn't work ............ only need one of them and would like to see Flynn get some more game time.

Simply has to be power then.

Fraser went to follow Ramirez but was blocked off.

Brown obstructed him no attempt at winning ball, just a block, clear foul; would have been picked up by VAR methinks, got away with one there as goal should have been disallowed

[jaybee]

Far too quick with cards.  If he’d been in real control of the players and the game, then there wouldn’t have been so many flying, ill-judged tackles and cheating aggression.

His ineffectual presence set the wrong tone so he was forced to resort to dishing out cards for everything.

 

the 2nd yellow for Jenny’s was not only soft, but wrong, I believe.

 

it turned the game.  I might be happy for how that helped Saints, but it was not helping a legitimate game of football.

Whit… Did you no see it on Sportscene - he jumped on top of McGrath’s ankle - was lucky it wasn’t a straight red.

Excellent result, well done Saints
