Scook Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 Just back from the game, first half sensational going forward, lost my voice after the penny save, celebrated like a goal! I could have done the linesman’s job in front of the west stand, didn’t make any decisions and let gogic stand on the pitch twice when he was taking a throw in!

magnus Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 A great start from the Saints and we are looking like a right good side. One slight concern was how off the pace and nervy Bolton looked when he came on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obvious by their absence in match day threads when we win. Not so quiet when we lose. Look back to the Montrose thread, even the Cowdenbeath thread, albeit we won.

DougJamie Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 I would rather have grass pitches first than goal line technology...SPFL are happy to gloat on attendances but still allow crap plastic ... maybe one day.... ps it wasnt a goal as it wasnt given Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazil85 Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Shows how far the team has come when fans are frustrated at a goal that wasn’t given when we won anyway. Tbf I am gutted for Grieve, robbed of his second goal from the bench in as many games (it was very clearly over). Really enjoyed the majority of the football yesterday as well & the attitude of the players. Fought for everything and controlled most of the match.

Very much agree about Greive (that's how you spell it) he'll be an important squad player for us this season, on the disallowed goal, it very much wasn't 'very clearly over' otherwise there wouldn't be the debate and we'd all be up in arms.

My one concern is we have a couple of players who look to struggle to complete 90 minutes . Boyd Muncie and Strain. Strain is probably our best player, possibly excepting O,Hara, but he struggles in the last 10minutes. I wonder if this is why he has not been sold to a bigger club. Maybe down to the amount of work him does in the other 90 mins. (10 to 15 mins of additional time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wing back is the toughest gig on the park and he covers more ground than any other player on the park He's involved in virtually every attack, he's a totally different player than tanser on the other side who tends to cross the ball in, Strain takes on players and hits the byline, on yesterdays performance McMenamin should take some of the Strain off Strain going forward, see what i did there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Strain is the guy hitting the byline then McMenamin is not playimg the wide forward role he is known for. We need them to work in different channels with Strain not getting so far forwar so often. He could be devastating on the right side of central mid rather than very good way out wide. Maybe Connor has more work to do on fitness at this level and we will see less reliance on Ryan's wee legs.

Correct re linesman , I noticed Gogic standing on the pitch at the throw-ins , and he ignored the only real decisions that he had to make ie the ball out in the first half , and the ball over the line later. VAR is making these new linos lazy ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the barrhead teacher Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Fantastic result. Should have buried them in first half. Second half we lost just about every 50:50, but still created enough to finish them off. We sat too deep, perhaps forced back a bit by Dundee. Strain got the run around at the back but was immense coming forward. More pluses and minuses and we cannot complain about full points from first two games. Optimistic we will be very competitive this season and threaten a top six place again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not just embarrassing ....as they are not even good plastic pitches...its dangerous.... hopefully one of them will go down...although unlikely... at least we play on a bowling green...

Unless big Joe has a child’s size 2 boot on, it was over the line. His full foot is behind the line & the ball is a couple of inches even further back hitting his angled shin.
