St Mirren v Dundee United SPFL PREMIERSHIP 22/10/22

[faraway saint]

Great cross and smart header from Greive.

[DougJamie]

Hope Sevco dont poach SR as GVB will get canned if that score stays same

[faraway saint]

4 mins added time. 

[faraway saint]

Unlucky, good break and decent effort by main. 

[faraway saint]

2-1 final score.

First half was, well, more than decent.

They did grab the game after half time but let's not forget we hit the woodwork, what, 3 times, scored 2 and had a decent goal chalked off.

All in all, welcome back St Mirren, last week was a blip. 

[DougJamie]

This is superb home form now...just what we need to seriously challenge top 6...whiskey in hand 

[faraway saint]

Even better, Rangers score against Livingstone, what a day.

What's the odds we are the first team to get a goal knocked off due to VAR!

Looks like you were right.

[faraway saint]

There ye go boys, suck it up........................4th in the league after 11 games.....................pity it wasn't the end of the season.

[JJ McG]

Brilliant win, Main was tremendous but what a shift from Baccus, an absolute engine.

Up the saints!!!!

Now increased to 1.58 points per goal scored, some defence!

I’m just still trying to work out how we managed to only win that game 2-1.

What an improvement on last week.

Special mention for Main. He really has upped his game. It’s not just that he’s starting to score some goals, it’s his all round play. In particular his touch and his hold up play are streets ahead of last season. 
Thought Erhahon was excellent today too. 
 

Finally, I was a wee bit worried when I saw Gallagher was out, but the goal aside we were really solid at the back. Testimony to the strength in depth of the squad. 
Another great day.

I prefer Grouse to Jameson.

[shull]

A fabulous win.

Well done Super Saints.

[shull]

A great attendance of 6273 today.

Another hard working performance from Saints mixed with good football at times.

Big Curtis Main has really upped his performance levels under Stephen Robinson and the recruitment by the management team is paying off as well.

I think this was a game we would have lost in previous seasons so we're an improvement that way.

Big Steven Thompson has just said that it was Keanu Baccus' "fingernail" that caught the Dundee United player which was the reason for Jonah Ayunga's goal being disallowed.  It'll be interesting to see that later.  I'm just glad we ended up getting another goal to win.

So Greive crossed the ball and then  ran into the box and headered his own cross, that's not smart that's f@@king brilliant  

 

Need to have him for anytime assist & goalscorer next game, lol

St Mirren TV going mad, must have showed the goal about 7 or 8 times. 

The Arabs have been on a great run. This was a huge game. Brilliant result. 

[exiledfan]

Brilliant team performance and result. I still think we have ability to up it a gear or two. 

I found VAR to be a bit disconcerting being at a game as I have only seen it on TV.  In the ground you have no idea what's being checked when and why where as on TV you do. 

[Wooden Saint]

Best game of the season for me as I managed to get free time to watch the whole match for a change.

Nice football and looked like we had a plan with Main and Erhahon were really strong for me.

Just makes you feel good when you win in that fashion.

I'll do my best to get the stick to work again next week although I have a slight chance of getting up to Edinburgh so I'll see how this weeks goes. 

[Callum Gilhooley]

Great game to watch , some very good individual performances .

A MOTM performance from Main . Absolutely incredible the turnaround by Main from last season😎👍

I haven’t seen the VAR incident but folk saying a “ flailing hand “ caught a Utd player . f**king difficult NOT to have flailing hands when three Utd players are taking it in turns to foul you .

Delighted for Grieve to come on & get the winner .

Why wasn’t Watt booked for constant simulation and why wasn’t Fletcher booked for having a knob-end hairstyle ?  🤷‍♂️

I'm trying to give brief details and watch at the same time, of you want a quality report try the BBC Scotland site.............................on second thoughts, stick with me. 

[guinness]

Left the ground after the disallowed goal and really do not know if I will be back. Absolute farce t o disallow a goal  because of an alleged foul in the other half of the pitch. After nearly 60 years of watching St Mirren I really might chuck it. The officia!s are kil!ing the game.

[JJ McG]

I forgot to mention Richard Tait who i thought was excellent today as well. 
 

I felt we had a couple of more gears to go through today if we wanted too.

Moretti daft tonight 🍺
