A Livi Fan Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Using BBC stats to back up a failing argument especially after QOTS could (should) have been down to 9 men is embarrassing. In short: We gave them 2 goals. One possibly offside? Our 4th looks to be one of the worst decisions since the peterhead game last year. Toddy is still sexy. Queens are shite Still second 10 games unbeaten Halkett strolled it as usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this happening with Dundee United prior to their collapse and we now have to put up with it as collateral damage for being 2nd? Its strange isn't it. If they win on Tuesday they'll be 14 points ahead of us with only 21 to play for. It really doesn't matter what we do; unless they really believe they can throw a mother of all collapses the title is assuredly theirs. Don't get the squeaky bum thing; maybe there's something in the water in Paisley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know those games are history, but the scars run deep. When we won the second tier in 99/2000 the players all made ‘Shhhhh’ signs. The meaning behind it was ‘keep it low key, don’t get ahead of ourselves’. Not one single St Mirren fan has started a song yet at a game this season along the lines of ‘Now you’re gonnae’ believe us’ or ‘Championees’ etc. If they did, I guarantee you, the rest of the support would say ‘shhhhhh!’ This St Mirren team will not fcuk this up, but believe me, there CAN be strange things in the water down Paisley way.

EdinburghLivi Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Understand them celebrating us dropping points as they will want the title won asap but there has been some truly bizarre behaviour on show since we spanked them. If they can get the title won before we come to visit, that would suit me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queens are shite Still second 10 games unbeaten Halkett strolled it as usual It's called facts pal. 15 fouls to 10 isn't a huge amount more but to claim that Queens were doing the kicking off the park quoting another queens supporter (I know it wasn't you) is fairly embarrassing. Halkett strolled it again ? He is a good defender but did he not slip on his arse presenting us with a goal at livi ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I'd love to wind you up by saying we could catch you up and you'd better look over your shoulder but I don't think even the most optimistic Livi support really believes that. To be honest you'd need to mimic Brechin to stand any chance of fcuking it up (totally ignoring the fact that we'd need to win all the remaining games).

Monkey Tennis Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Livingston comfortably the better side, certainly in the second half. I was glad we retrieved a point, but it's not that useful really. The first and second goals we lost were really poor. The bookings given to our players in the second half just amounted to a cowardly hedging of bets by the ref. If elbows really had been thrown, the cards should have been red. If they hadn't, any cards should have been given to the blokes on the floor. Either way, bookings for the Queens player could not be justified. Keen to see the Hardie one late on again. It certainly looked like it was being allowed to stand. I also wondered about a possible offside ahead of our equaliser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orco Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I'd have taken a draw at 2-0 down and even after we equalised but it's hard to take when we had a perfectly good goal disallowed minutes before Queens got their third. Looked like a case of the lino forgetting that the scorer being further back than the player who made the pass is not an offside decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QOSQOS Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Well, another routine 3-3 draw.... We scored two good goals. First Dobbie set up Thomson with a clever lay-off, Thomson hit it sweetly, 1-0. Second, a good bit of passing across the park, clever work from Thomas, dangerous ball in, Dykes takes very well. 2-0, easy street, what could possibly go wrong? Livi responded with some pressure, Leighfield had a good save, then Rooney gave away a wholly unnecessary free-kick in a dangerous area, 2-1, game on. The first 15 of the second half were a nightmare. A free header from a long throw, 2-2. Then after a Dobbie pass was intercepted, Livi swept upfield, a few quick passes, a good cross, and it was 2-3. We were rocking, but curiously I thought Livi let us back in by starting playing to hold on to the lead. We were going for it but leaving gaps, so a goal could easily have come at the wrong end. And just when I was thinking it wasn’t going to happen, a dangerous ball into the box, and there was Todorov to pounce on the loose ball. The ‘offside’ goal never looked like a goal, the players looked as though they all expected an offside. Unless the highlights say different....

Everyone expected an offside flag, that’s what made it all the more bizarre, when Longridge received the ball my first thought was to look at the linesman, he kept his flag down, he then passes the ball to Hardie who taps the ball in the net, only when Hardie touched the ball was offside given, Hardie couldn’t have been offside as he was behind Longridge, all very strange.

Man has the biggest chip on his shoulder over being sacked by Livi years ago, he can’t let it go. Everytime he covers a Livi game he always has a dig about something.

Yes, it was the lateness of the flag that was odd. The timing of it seemed to indicate that Hardie himself was offside, which didn't seem to make much sense.

Afro Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Would have took a point before the game and would’ve tore your arm off for one after half an hour. Thought we started the better side without doing much, then proceeded to give Dobbie too much time and space to take the ball down in the box and tee up Thomson. A great finish, and at that point I was wondering how he couldn’t have done that for us. I’d like to see the second goal again, thought Dykes was possibly offside but it was definitely poor defending down our left. Three great finishes for our goals and special shout to Hardie for making it back from Andorra and getting right in and about it. We looked a different side when he and Byrne came on, disappointed not to hold on for the three points but it’s hardly an awful result. I certainly didn’t think Longridge was offside when he squared to Hardie and that would’ve probably put the game to bed. Be interesting to see if Queens can edge ahead of the Pars and United for 4th, certainly given that they have Dobbie anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
