Ref had a cracking game i thought.

What game were you watching every time a St Mirren player went in for a tackle he was giving them a free kick we got very little of of him.was surprised he never played longer at the end so Hearts would score.

O'Hara was my MOTM today. His box-to-box workrate is brilliant. He's 8/10 every week.

Everyone should be enjoying this season, we are a good side. It's great to look round and see the stands full. Long may it continue.

It was quite funny there fans singing what a shittey home support when the ground was almost full.

To be fair Greive had just travelled back from New Zealand last week so I don't think he would have started in any case. By all accounts he did well today so justifies his start.

He had two glaring  misses and probably single-handedly cost us two points.

Lots of positives today. Thought Gogic was man of the match - brilliant in midfield. Should have had the game out of sight by half time. Fraser's red card was a total farce and it was our free kick anyway regardless of the Fraser sending off. Hope we appeal.

I don't think we'd win an appeal and I don't think the club will try.

whereas Brophy is proven to be prolific and never missed a chance!

You suggested he played well today. I simply pointed out that, as a striker, he had a stinker and cost us the game.

I would suggest that had we not conceded we would not have lost the win, so your assertion that Grieve was single-handedly responsible for us losing 2 points, is, like most of Brophy's attempts on goal, wide of the mark.

I remember his one at the back post where he sclaffed it over the scoreboard but I’m struggling to remember a second glaring miss .

He's probably counting the one that Main crossed behind him.

He had no chance of connecting with that.

There was another one that Main had a shot cum cross that was half a chance at best for Greive.

I thought that .   
 

The one behind him he had absolutely no chance of making anything from that as you say .

The shot / cross across the goal from the left , again he had no chance . He would need go-go gadget stretchy legs to have reached that .

Superb stuff from the W7 lads, they don't half do the club proud at times..

Sadly due to working away from home I couldn't make it today, but sincerely wish I could have been there to join in the applause for Frank who surely has to be up there with the greatest saints players of all time... an ABSOLUTE LEGEND in the black and white...

Also it's great to see the stands so full, long may it continue... Proud to be a Buddie...COYS.....🖤🤍..

We need to get Brophy off the books and I like Greive, so no problem with team selection

however……,

my initial suspicion I think was correct. Comedy stuff

albeit, as my son pointed out, Brophy had a similar comedy effort at Livi 

must be a fall out between Robinson and Brophy or Robinson has been told to piss Brophy off

it was like Alex bone….. without any ability

The first half yesterday was another great performance in a season that's already produced some great performances.

It's been a long time since I've felt we can compete with the top 3 or 4 teams and beat/draw with them, certainly at home.

The previous seasons of dismal home form, which is hard to take for season ticket holders who have forked out their money up front, has seen an astounding turnaround.

The next game is a big test to see if our form in the last 2 away games, which we drew, can be sustained. 

I've never really felt we were a "top 6" side despite flirting with this a few times but this season I see us a genuinely a strong top 6 side.

Someone recently ( @Albanian Buddy I think) mentioned that this season we really should be hoping to go far in the Scottish cup and I agree.

No team will really fancy playing us at home IMO.

He should have done better with the Main chance but that's two games he's missed in very similar circumstances and cost us points.

Can’t agree with that at all . There’s a big difference between “Glaring miss” and “could have done better”    I don’t think there’s a striker on our books or in most other teams who could have converted either of these half chances.

One was almost certainly a shot rather than a cross and the other was crossed at speed too far behind the player in the middle.

Were you at the game? Got a lot to say about how much it meant to fans and Frank's family. Got a lot to say about the game as well.

Greive should have scored with the one at the far post but the other two he had no chance with. One was too far in front and the other too far behind. But I see no-one is complaining about Main's poor effort when he manufactured a really good opening for himself then a pass back to their keeper. Or bad decision making a couple of times when we had 3 onto 2. Or O'Hara blocking a shot that was going in. Yea, Greive messed up once but so did others.
