Would love to be there but will be having bevvies in the house . this season will be happy to finish 10th and win the cup.

Relegation on its way this season 

[Helmettroll]

On the balance of play we didn't deserve that but we really need to start hitting the back of the net. 

Gutted, another Saturday night ruined..☹️

Mugged. 

Even united supporters we talked to after the game couldn't believe they won that. 

Hard to take, two weeks on the bounce.

Agreed - but it wasn't just Elvis that saw that coming.

How could anyone see that coming? we were the better team for the majority of the game. A brainfart from the GK who has been excellent let them equalise, A beyond dubious penalty and red card put them ahead and then a class goal that only came as we were chasing and down to 10 men. They never threatened till we helped them out.

👏👏👏

Hence the reason I ieft the ground feeling absolutely stunned at the result.

Been cheated out of 4 points....should be 3rd...but agree it's getting worrying how we implode

[northstbuddie]

We deserved three points today without doubt based on performance. However refereeing and VAR incompetences are now almost guaranteed to work against us - and that pattern is developing weekly.

Thus the 'saw it coming' comment.

In fact it could be argued that we have suffered more from these injustices than any other SPL club so far this season.

I'm in no real position to comment on the penalty and sending off, it was directly below me so I'll wait till I watch it 55 times then give my unbiased opinion. 

[guinness]

Another djsaster. By far the Better team but refuse to shoot.  Linesman guesses for the first goa l though the goalie should have saved it. VAR has another guess at a penalty a d a red card. If t hat was a red car surely they should be looking at suspending the referee who could not see it from a few fee t. Think this might be my last season watching football. Between the crap to get tickets and then sitting for f or four of five minutes waiting for someone not at the game to decide every close call it really is not enjoyable going to the football any more.

It was such a shockingly bad tackle yet he never seen it 🤷

[elvis]

But don't forget these things even out over the season.

Think the powers that be have decided this is our season to go down .

Goodwin’s commentary about us being a ‘physical team’ is beginning to grate as is his nonsense about budgets.  United are a poor outfit.

You only appear for bad results. Try a positive response if you’re capable. If you can only respond for negative reasons why respond at all?

[beyond our ken]

We may have had the bulk of chances & pressure, we still did not display even a low level of finesse in front of goal.  Every chance seemed to be hit with the intention of taking the net off the posts and landing it 2 streets away.

I was sitting right in line with George and felt that the last thing he should have done was pick that ball up as it trundled towards him, i actually shouted out when he lifted it as it was clearly in the debatable category in terms of proximity to the line.  Shamal had every chance just to punt it to safety but instead chose to give an inept official a chance to make a decision.  let's face it, everyone knows the officials are shite in every game, so why not be canny and just not give the feckers the excuse to use their underdeveloped gray matter?

Looking at the TV coverage, Gogic had seen off the danger and still left a foot in, even a half-hearted effort to at least appear to pull out would have prevented that decision.  Again, we can blame the officials for being shite, we know that already before a ball is kicked.  Why the naivety?

Overall, loads of pressure, huff & puff without hardly a well placed pass and a shitload of poorly made ones.  I was really disappointed with McMenamin's second half.  Sure, several passes to him fell short, he just seemed to not be interested in coming in a yard or so to guarantee getting on the end of one or two.

Fraser Taylor seems the only midfielder who has the vision to find a position and make a pass.  His introduction to he game was about 20 minutes too late.

I thought Declan and Miguel looked good, Phillips is committed to everything and big Dan certainly knows how to use his physique

Decent performance poor result, KEEP THE FAITH.

Referee John Beaton 'labelled tackle worst he’s ever seen' in controversial SPFL clash

Worst tackle he never seen more like as he let play flow and Gavin Duncan on V A R made the call. 

[Saint@Johnstone]

Despite some good football we play, it’s going to be a struggle this season as we have, yet again, nothing up front. Starting Ayunga on a regular basis is disastrous and any goals will have to come from midfield or defenders. Hoping against hope for improvement but doubtful.
