  1. That's going to be very tight for offside.
  2. He jumps, gets a bump in the back, then the ball is deflected on to the back of the top of his arm from a distance of about two feet. Nonsense.
  3. Accidental or not, he’s kicked the guy in the head. When you see red cards being given for fairly standard tackles that make a connection with the ankle or whatever I don’t think there can be any complaints about a red when a boot hits someone directly in the face. There’s no excuse at all for having your foot that high.
  4. FC Minsk were absolutely who I had in mind with that today. As with Minsk, Livi were helped by a pathetically weak referee who didn’t intervene at all. That said, we were garbage for pretty much the duration. Sticking Carey wide right and Matt Smith on the left for an extended period was ridiculous.
  5. I think given where we've been in recent weeks, and the stark difference in performance midweek, it would be crazy to change things too much unless injury dictates it. Everything looked far more comfortable all across the park with players in roles they were familiar with and suited to.
  6. Mine just has "My Tickets" and "Order History" - must still be in the works!
  7. Completely different Saints side from Saturday in terms of shape, attitude and intent. Much, much better. Still a tall order ahead to keep a clean sheet and get a win on the board but as RG said above, this is the way to go about it.
  8. I remember under Davidson there was a growing backlash against the constant three at the back, so he changed it to a four one week and we got fairly comprehensively beaten by Livingston. That was the end of that experiment for Davidson.
  9. Was there on Sunday night. Phenomenal as they have been every time I've seen them. Played The Artist in the Ambulance from start to finish then a mix of some older stuff (Deadbolt, which I was delighted to hear) and some newer stuff to finish up. Great to roll back the clock with the 20 year anniversary of TAITA.
  10. I switched off after the second goal. Did Gallagher finish the game at LWB? Genuinely an astonishing choice given Keltjens was available and looked at least ok there. Is Franczak injured?
  11. Kimpioka has been taken out of the team just at the point where he started to look like he had something about him.
  12. We take those constantly then inevitably give the ball away or fail to get a cross in or, at best, hit the first man. Bad enough at the best of time, but with seconds to go til half time is inexcusable.
  13. That attack there highlighted the issue. Kerr Smith drives out of defence and plays Gallagher in down the right. All that’s asking for is a ball whipped across first time. Instead he has to check back and cant get a decent cross in. Levein might point to the fact we’ve not given up a real clear chance as some kind of success. But that goal is exactly the type you give away when you invite pressure on and don’t put any on at the other end yourself. It’s a deflection and a ricochet back off the keeper and it is very unlucky, but St Mirren have been miles ahead of us here and fully deserve to be ahead.
  14. There is no actual plan here for how Saints intend to build an attack. Playing with a defender who is best at LCB on one wing and a one footed left back on the right is just nonsensical.
  15. Whatever it is needs to involve Phillips and Smith in the middle and Carey playing further forward. I’d start Clark and Kimpioka up top. Sidibeh on for the last half hour.
  16. Let’s keep the ice rink and leisure pool on the same site as a new stadium at the current pool/rink site, with the flumes starting on top of the stands and an interchangeable football pitch/ice hockey rink.
  17. To be fair, the proposed bowling alley wasn’t on the leisure pool site - it was in a fairly small building across the road that sits between Glover Street and Gray Street that has absolutely no parking other than on residential streets around it. It was a nonsense and completely unworkable plan.
  18. I’d commandeer the southern half of the Lesser South Inch to build a new stadium. Right in the town, close to the bus and train stations, suddenly we become a brilliant away day being just a short walk from the centre and transport. And much better for home fans too. Id base the design off the crazy looking Bursaspor stadium that looks like it had an alligator wrapped round it, aiming for approximately 8,000 capacity. May I present the May 17 Memorial Thunderdome:
  19. I want the Stevie May Memorial Thunderdome built on the park right beside the train station or I riot.
  20. Oooh Methven do you know what that's worth? Ooooh Methven is a place near Perth... I have nothing much to contribute to any discussion here other than that line. Actually, tbh it wouldn't surprise me one bit if the big issue around any deal for Saints is the land the ground sits on. 40 years ago it was basically farmland. Now the city of Perth surrounds it in basically all directions and it is brilliantly placed for connections to the main road network etc. It must be worth a fortune for housebuilding etc. The question is where do you build a new stadium if you do go down that route and how narrow would the profit margin be if you had to build a new stadium elsewhere to accommodate it. There is an empty bit of land - some old railway yards/sidings - about 3/4 of a mile closer to the centre of town that would theoretically be an OK location but that is pretty well boxed in on all sides by housing/commercial property. Beyond that you'd almost certainly be out of town completely.
