Impossible to tell from the angle they showed but didn't look like the ball was completely over the line. 

Behind the goal, never looked over, but claimed it vehemently  🤣🤣

Would be keen to see the Grieve one back - a few online posts suggesting it was in 

 

either way 3 points and a good start to the season.

Poor patchy performance. Started off brilliant. Got the 2 goals and then let them dominate us. Mika scored a great header, and big Joe is still a Saint. Need to improve when we play Motherwell and Aberdeen. But good 3 points when we didn't play all that well. It's a great start 6/6.

We do like it easy don't we. Top of the league, goals across the team including our strikers and chicken and chorizo pie with bovril.at half time. COYS

Good win but torture watching the last 20 minutes. Can’t seem to hold on to a lead after a good start. Was impressed with McMenamin, looks a good player.

Great game today. I was a bit anxious at the end, despite the fact a 2-2 draw would have netted me £65. 

I need to watch the highlights, but Strain was brilliant again, as was McMenamin. Good to see Mandron score and I was pleased that Carson got the reception he deserved. Entertaining, but a nail biting finish. 

It looked like we should have had a penalty in the first half. Also will be interested to see why they were awarded one, I saw no appeals. 

Top of the League!

Never usually none to point fingers but thought the ref had a poor game, inconsistent with his decision regarding fouls and even over ruling linesman to give Dundee a throw in.  Thought Dundee number 3 could have been sent off as well.

Fantastic result bur, for gawd's sake Saints, think about my old ticker. We absolutely battered Dundee in the first half. Snapping at their players as soon as we lost possession, slick passing and put their defence under pressure. Then they bring on Tiffoney and it changes the match. Suddenly we're standing off them and not winning the all important second ball. But. We're six from six and top of the league, Well done all.

Thought we did.

Highlights on BBC Scotland in 10 mins!

Shout out to the well known St Mirren fan who just after the start of the 2nd half refused to give Carson the ball back, hilarious to see the dirty look Carson gave him 🤣🤣

And still some "supporters" are wating on the manager to fail because they don't rate him.

Tragic.

As was pointed out on Sportscene, going by the shadows. Shaughnessy's shadow is in front of him and the shadow of the ball is on the line so it's almost certain that the ball was behind the shadow therefore behind the line. Clear goal.

Aye, as I didn't see it 250 times it's still unclear.

There's a difference between WHAT we want and WHAT happened.

Unclear and further evidence we should have goal line technology.

First half thought we were excellant. 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.

The big surprise here is that you actually react to this fool. Luckily I have him on ignore so his impact on this forum is minimal to me,
