It was difficult to see from our end, did Palenik prevent the ball going in with his hand? If so then it has to be a red card and Brines has made an absolute arse of things.

I'd have to look at it again but I didn't think Samson was getting near the ball and it hit Palenik's handed as he dived across. I was expecting a red card to be produced.

Not deliberate handball! Matty - it was a great save and totally deliberate.

I think the reason no passback was given was because Stanic had stuck out his leg to block a through ball and shinned it back to the keeper. Thought he was going to give the free kick though.

Looked distinctly like handball in the second half in the Saints box, but hard to tell if he meant it or not. The ref was shite anyway for both teams throughout. Incredible.

Would have to agree with what has been said by others. We were brilliant in the first 20 minutes or so until our goal. After that, we just fell apart, albeit we improved a bit in the last 10 minutes of the game. I didn't see the handball incident, so can't state whether I feel it should have been a red card or not.
I would like to mention Dundee's horrific tackling. How the referee only brought out the yellow card is beyond me.
It's always hard to lose a goal in the last seconds of a game, but the better side won on the day.

I don't believe that we are out of the title race yet. We came back from more points behind last season, and there's still plenty of time to close the gap. However, we must start taking advantage of our rivals' slip-ups now.
I will not be taking down my sig just yet.

I don't know why he didn't just give the goal. Imagine the outcry if Sheerin had missed.

I guess the Dundee players have stopped because of the whistle. Bad refereeing but I don't have a problem calling things back if he's blown the whistle.

It's got to be said that Saints have got some minging players; McInnes, McLaren, Deuchar and Jackson being the worst. Quinn looked good early on but faded and Sheerin did quite well. I actually expected more of Saints and less of Dundee with their respective form. That said I'm as happy as an arab in boob tube.

I thought MLaren and Jackson were pretty good today. I could say the same about Dixon and Daquin for Dundee. They were fucking awful. The introduction of McHale and Sw**kie totally revitalised Dundee and that was what changed the game. Unfortunately for us we took off our pacy young players and left on Sheerin who was knackered and McInnes who put the ball out the park with every other touch.

Don't talk shite. Jackson is "minging" based on one game, even though he scored but for the ref calling play back for the penalty. I suspect you are on the wind up anyway but McLaren gave Dixon a torrid time in the first half and saw him subbed off. I'd never say he was a poor player though.

Dixon and Daquin have been pretty average for most of the season tbh although Dixon is good enough to recover his form(notice how I never mentioned Freddie there).
I said to my mate that it's amazing that McInnes is still playing in the 1st division.

Well Palenik(I thought was McKenzie tbh but there you go) threw himself in front of the ball and it hit his hand. Undeliberate IMO but its worth consulting the rules.

I don't know why he didn't just give the goal. Imagine the outcry if Sheerin had missed.

I'm only assuming it was Palenik because he seems to be the one that got booked. It may well have been McKenzie.

Oh dear. You're not still greetin' are you?

Why would I be greetin' on a night where we prove fortress Dens WILL win us promotion, United edge closer to their rightful place of bottom-six obscurity, Savo's silenced and Saint Sam can't even bring herself to comment.

On the other hand, you Sir, continue to prove to everyone, that originality isn't in your skillset.

Was definitely big Gary.

Isn't football a wonderful game.

Nice to see Savo has encouraged the Dundee fans to engage in their most favoured of hobbies:

ST JOHNSTONE BASHING!

They come and they go but i'm amazed at this most recent batch of Dundee supporters. They are as un-realistic as ever but on top of that, they are also entirely deluded. To say that some of their challenges were anything short of heinous is a massive understatement.

The challenges - as I noted in my first post - on Irvine and Rocco were barbaric. Utterly atrocious, the kind of challenges which would make you revise the idea of allowing football players to be charged for assault.

No mention of Flu bugs or an injury-ravaged squad - maybe reality really is kicking in Savo!

Are you still confident that you'll finish 12 points above us?
