    The St Mirren home support must be the whiniest support in the country, desperate to claim for anything, had a real chip on their shoulder all match 

    We have a chip on our shoulder yet anyone who says anything against Aberdeen is a Rangers fan in disguise according to you lot 😂. You'd think if that was the case we'd just go to Rangers games just up the road from us, instead of following a diddy team about. 

    Every fan for every club claims for everything at the game. We try to influence the referee or assistants, same way the away fans were doing it today, same with you guys at Pittodrie, Hearts fans at Tynecastle ect. 

    All part of the game and we are all guilty of it.

    Aberdeen 🤣

    All that timewasting, diving and rolling about to concede a penalty equaliser and a winner in injury time. Fucking glorious.

     

    To be fair it worked a treat. Helped disrupt us and we couldn't really get into a rhythm. Being serious for a minute they defended really well until Devlin made an arse of it. We ran out of ideas.

    Olusanya though, once again changing the game in our favour. This guys cult hero status must be rising week by week.

    Don’t disagree with the spirit of your post, but unless I’m forgetting something he’s scored 2 (Hibs and last night) and missed 1 (Aberdeen).

    One of those typical runs of his did end up in a goal for Mandron too in the 4-0 game against St. Johnstone. 

    Scored into the raging cream bun recently too. Was given offside, at the time it was the worst officiating decision of the season against us, until last night.

    The phrase "everything gets checked" is mainly used to address the people who can't understand that stuff is going on in the background in the VAR room and that the referee doesn't have to constantly be sent over to the screen. The VAR will check everything they identify as being a possible incident, but just like any on-field referees there are going to be rare occasions where they totally miss something, which is what happened last night. It's obviously a massive error, but these things will continue to happen for as long as you have humans in charge of a decision making process.

    I was watching the game live, and the focus on the commentary was all about the St Mirren players appealing for a shirt pull. I think Sutton may have spotted the handball live, but the initial discussion was about the tug. As we were later told, the same thing would have been going on in the VAR room - they see a possible tug and are then grabbing all the angles to get a closer look at that, before deciding that there wasn't enough in it (which I think was correct). Because they were so laser-focused on that one part of the incident, likely nobody grabbed the one angle that showed the really clear handball - I think it was about the 4th replay they showed on the broadcast which eventually brought that up.

    If you look up this thread, a lot of the discussion (rightly) is about how long these decisions have taken, and about imposing time limits on VAR checks. However, the other side of the coin there is that the desire to make decisions as quickly as possible and not to have lots of long delays probably led to that handball being missed. You can't have both things with VAR, either you have a VAR system which checks things properly and takes time to do it, or you have a VAR system which checks things quickly and makes more mistakes. If you want less disruption to the game, the obvious solution is to bin it completely.

    I like yourself watched the game on SKY.

    County had a questionable penalty looked at and the check was over within seconds. Same with the shirt tug/handball appeal from ourselves. 

    I mean he could have gave it for the shirt pull alone which is baffling in itself.

    Aitken seemed to be trying to be more interested in breaking the world record for VAR checks instead of going through it thoroughly.

    The simple question for me is would he have treated the incidents with the same quick timeframe in a Rangers-Celtic game? The answer is obviously no chance. 

    He shouldn't be allowed to to VAR again imo. Major major f**k up.

    Taken in isolation, I’d be fine with the non-award of a penalty as I don’t believe VAR should be used to slow down footage to overrule the on-field call. In real time, it wasn’t ’clear and obvious’.

    That’s the problem though, there’s a precedent to review things frame-by-frame. So for handball not to be checked there is inexplicable.

    Ultimately we were so poor tonight that we didn’t deserve a VAR bail-out, but that shouldn’t mask another failure of the thing that all clubs pay six figures for and is detrimental to every single paying customer in the stadium.

    Nah I don't buy the VAR bail out, Gogic made a mistake for their goal and was punished for it. That defender made a mistake in handling the ball, we may have missed the penalty (probably would have the way we were playing) but we should have had the opportunity to do so.

    Its an absolute shocker of a decision regardless of how shite we were. All the VAR checks were done in rapid time, can you see the same happening in an old firm derby? It has just proved they don't give a toss about the rest of the league, every result has ramifications for several teams. 

    Can't see Aitken being allowed to officiate in Paisley for a while now. Rant just about over, sorry 😋

    To be fair to County they put a lot into the first half, pressed us all over the place and made it very difficult for us to get into a rhythm. They fell away in the 2nd half, probably due to fatigue and we got stronger the more the game went on. 

    I don't care if Baccus is leaving in the summer, he has to start every game from now on for me. 

    Olusanya, Ayunga and Scott all had an impact coming off the bench. Scott has to score that chance though, won't do his confidence any good.

    We deserved a point, could have been 3. At least we got something from the game.

  6. We'll never get 2 easier wins against StJohnstone in a season ever again. That result in Perth is a real boot in the nuts, as was that result against Livi last week.

    Not rubbing it into StJohnstone fans, they are saying themselves how terrible they are. Not sure if I'd fancy their chances against United, Raith or Morton in the play offs over 2 legs. No heart, not much fight, not much quality. The Levein appointment is now panning out how most thought it would, yet they are as close to Dundee as they are to Livi points wise.

    Any Morton fans revelling in this are not engaging the brain imo. We should all want Celtic out to open the competition up and a proper derby in the late rounds would be magnificent. 

    Let the idiot have his fun 😂.

    Best hope for the rest now is an OF quarter final.

    Thought Welsh and Scales defended as well as they could against our crossing. The deliveries into the box were superb the whole game.

    We didn't take our chances and Celtic took 2 of theirs along with missing some others. 

    At least we gave it a go. Ironically we may need one of the gruesome twosome or Hearts to win the cup for our european hopes at the end of the season.

    Kyogo absolutely desperate to be forgiven and he didn’t even do anything. 

    To be fair he nudged Baccus when he was off balance into the touchline. Could have been a sore one.

    See it every game though, don't know why players need to do that.

    We are still well in this. We are creating havoc from set pieces, Celtic scored out of nothing and then had a couple of quick fire warning shots.

    Gogic was so unlucky with both his efforts.

    The good thing is we have Ayunga, Scott and Olusanya to come on and shake things up if we are still chasing. 

    Just don't lose a goal in the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half.

  9. Baccus in midfield should make a huge difference today. In the last meeting we had Flynn and CBM I'm the middle which let Celtic just steamroll us.

    Obviously the pressure is on Celtic and they are the heavy favourites but I'm hoping we turn up today and at least make a game of it. 

    The Celtic fans I know have been slating the team for months but especially in the last couple of weeks they are definitely not happy. My worry is its the cup, they know they'll need to show up today and they turn into prime Barca.

    Once Taylor is fully fit he’ll be back in the team.

    Who gets dropped though.

    Bolton has been superb, no coincidence the defence has tightened up since his run of starts in the team.

    Gogic is a warrior and Marcus Fraser is Mr Reliable every week.

    Taylor brings balance to the back 3 as Fraser is obviously right footed and it sticks out playing on the left of the 3. 

    As for the arse cheeks in the away end, when does it become a genuine health and safety issue for the club? Rangers fans end up filling every seat and stairwell, you can't actually see the yellow in the stands because of it. The stand is over full, the club could get into shit for it. Folk must be passing on their qr code to their mates without a ticket. 

    Half their away allocation and cut out their nonsense. 

     

  11. Teams will inevitably work out how to play against each other. Hibs have played us more than anyone else, they had our number last night, even though we gifted them the chance ofnthe first goal, it was still a great finish.

    Strain, O'Hara, Gogic, McMenamin all had off nights so to still get a point with a late equaliser shows great grit and determination. 

    We gifted Hibs a chance at their opener but they really screwed up with our 2nd goal, Youhan (who was dangerous all night), has to manage that situation better, we go up the park and have a couple of bites at it but it was some finish from Jamieson. So composed.

    Again without playing at our best we gain another point, can't be sniffed at. 

    Our fans booing Marshall for time wasting is hilarious, we have been at it all season when we have been in the lead 😂. Fair enough Hemming has been booked for it every time, which is what I had an issue with last night.

    All three brothers represented our club with pride but Stephen proved to be a class above. 

    Stephen galvanised our side during his second spell from relegation certainties to champions the following season. 

    Will we see a future generation of McGinn’s play for our team? 

    What a footballing DyNAsty his parents produced for our club.

    There can’t be many top flight sides in the world who had 3 brothers play for the same club.

    Welcome home skipper!

     

    Hibs as well unfortunately 😕

    Welcome home top bin McGinn

    why did strain get sent off for handball yet gogics went unpunished?

    Strains prevented a goal scoring opportunity.

    If we are to lose at Parkhead and Ibrox, I want us to make them earn the win and Celtic did that. They worked hard and it took 2 worldies to beat us. You have to hold your hands up. We were excellent. Hemmings made a few good saves, which you'd expect at Parkhead. 

    When you see the talent Celtic brought off the bench that ultimately changed the game for them, you realise what you are up against.

    Could have stolen a point at the end but hey ho. We no longer have the fear factor playing against them and it definitely shows.

    I reckon your board should act now and empty McLean before the situation becomes non retreavable.

    If you get a half decent appointment in place now to get the best out of what is basically the squad you’ll have for the next 7 months then, at least it might give you a fighting chance of not getting isolated. 

    Their problem is and was before McLean took the job was Davidson signed some amount of shite, then they've let McLean sign some shite as well. Their squad is absolutely massive, after announcing a big loss, they are probably on course for another loss, then if they are relegated the income then halves (from our experience anyway).

    Nobody will want to sign the majority of that squad in January (I'd take the keeper next summer). So they can't really take a punt in January unless they want another massive financial loss.

    Even if it was a proven manager at this level in charge, or if they sack McLean and bring in a Robinson type, is the team good enough for a turn around?

    Tldr it's a shitfest for the Perth Saints and even if they miraculously stay up this season, I can't see it being resolved in the summer.

    I'd have much rather faced Rangers under Beale, he was surely the most uninspiring manager in the league.

    Rae will come in and put a rocket up a few arses, the fact that the game is against us probably motivates him a wee bit more.

    We're good enough to take something from the game, but I'm a bit cautious in being over confident.

    Ideally aye, they looked so poor for weeks, i didnt think they were going to pull the trigger until after this game

    . What was looking like a tasty game anyway has just had the mother of acne boxes of dynamite lit under it. This won't be the pantomime villain abuse either. Rangers fans probably won't get it, or care either way its just another game to them.

    They will either win the majority of their games in charge or its going to be a hilarious disaster ending with Rae sticking the nut on at least one of the players.
