Stephen Robinson repeating the nonsense from Anfield earlier in the day, saying Motherwell would have won 2-1 if Irvine's goal had been disallowed. What's so difficult to understand about the whole course of the game being different?

Back 3 of Easton, Martin and Odoffin for 85 minutes.
5 minutes left Rice brought on Ben Stirling for Charlie Trafford put Stirling at Centre back and shifted Odoffin into midfield.
In fairness St Johnstone were on top at the point and may have equalized regardless but it was a big call at a big moment in the season made worse by Stirling looking badly at fault for the goal.
It was Aaron Martin who was the nearest to Melamed, though Stirling had his arm up claiming for offside which wouldn't have helped him to get closer. We all want to see Odoffin in midfield but it does seem crazy to needlessly disrupt the defence with minutes to go.

I didn't watch it, what was the defensive switch?

Former Accies secretary Alan Dick's memory is clearly failing him, he says in the Record that Saint and Greavsie visited the ground just before a Saturday match. No they didn't Alan, think about it...

He used to joke about being an Accies fan because Ian St John was from Motherwell so not all bad even if some of the Scottish goalie patter grated a bit at times. Barnet became my favourite English club after he compared the Accies to them on Saint & Greavsie.
The Accies connection came after a comment he made. He said "You'll Never Walk Alone" not sure the context then added " unless you support Hamilton Academicals". Accies then got in touch and invited him to come up to visit. I think they hoped he'd come up for a game but filming commitments made that impossible so they came up in midweek. This was around 1984/85. The next season we won the First Division so got a mention on the show now and then and he also mentioned us in his Shoot letters page. Our captain at the time, Alex Hamill, even made an appearance on a Michael Parkinson show when Jimmy Greaves was a guest to present him with something from the club.
I doubt Ian St John ever mocked Scottish goalkeepers especially as the most prominent one during the show's run was Jim Leighton, who always showed up well for Scotland. Always liked Ian, a sad day but a man who had a great life.

Well done Saintees. So jealous. Hope your players get bevvied and are still completely wiped come Wednesday!

I'd love to watch this but I'm not sure how I can. I'm with BT and Premier Sports isn't even listed as an option under Sports. A quick search and it mentions channel 95 in BT vision, I've no idea what that is.

We still have players to come back. There's something about Nathan Thomas's career that tells me he may have a part to play in the last few weeks. No idea if he's injured again mind, the club tell you nothing.

Anyone see Channel 4 News and the staggering comment from Rangers? Along the lines of the abuse concerned the old CLUB which was liquidated and didn't apply to the new club.

Steven Thompson reckoned Accies top scorer was Odoffin with three. It's actually Callachan with seven. Not bad Thommo, only four out.

Genuinely expected this today and was disappointed when Accies lost to them midweek. How on earth is Lennon still in a job?
I'm really annoyed at myself. Had a tenner on Livi at Parkhead, a tenner on them at Tony Macaroni and £1.50 on Accies but today I only had it on a BTTS bet...and it didn't bloody come up. But we'll done Saints, from an Accies fan.

I'd describe him as a hard working pest.
Will run all day. Not the most technical footballer/finisher (although he scored a Van Basten type volley against Aberdeen at Pittodrie).
I just checked his record and he scored 8 goals in 36 apps. for us. Doesn't sound impressive but playing up front for us is a hard, thankless task.
I'd take him in a heartbeat over all our strikers apart from Ogkmpoe.
To be fair, it was a half volley. Two vital goals at Tynecastle too, I'd happily see him back.

ITV news just showed more of this, the rant, than STV news managed.

Gloriously unexpected. Well haven't been THAT bad lately, you played Dundee United off the park last week and drew with Aberdeen recently. We're without our ball winner in midfield, about five more certain starters and our forwards have only got about three goals between them, and one of them is injured anyway. This is up there with the 5-0 in 2015, make no mistake. And credit where it's due to Brian Rice. He shouldn't be there, but I'm glad for him and hope he succeeds. Now if we could just get those suspended points back...

St Johnstone, on 17 points, are 1.33 to beat Accies, also on 17 points.
Would that happen in any other league?
I don't particularly think we'll win but I've stuck a couple of quid on us @ 9.5.

Jim began his playing career at Accies and did very well, winning a move to Clyde then onto Dundee and Kilmarnock. Played the most games and scored the most goals while at Accies.
I loved his United teams of the 80s, and I loved Fergie's Dons too. It was great seeing the Old Firm have to take a back seat, especially in Europe. Really envious of those here who were at the 5-0 Monchengladbach second leg. Didn't they once scored five in Monaco too, before they got big? Wonderful, nerve wracking nights in front of the telly as a teenager watching United beat Barcelona home and away, my Rangers supporting Dad cheering like mad when Clark and Ferguson scored in the Camp Nou. And the reunion with Monchengladbach in 87, Ferguson again and Ian Redford (RIP), more wild cheers in our house. Final was an anti-climax, as was the Scottish Cup final, when United were robbed by a ludicrous offside. I really wanted United to win, for Jim and for a group of players who really deserved it.
RIP Jim, you miserable old bugger.

And get it right up you Ian Vigurs, lashing out at Scott Martin after he scored, injuring him and now he's probably a doubt for midweek.

Really weird to see a football club sack their manager after a humiliating defeat.

McMann seems to have regressed this season but he was arguably our best player last season. His performance at Fir Park in our 2-1 win was magnificent from start to finish. He has it in him, maybe he'd crack on in a better team. I couldn't see him going above League One in England though.

Two penalty winners at home in a row v Killie. Didn't this used to be the fixture, home and away, where the home team rarely won? That's not been the case for a while.

I'd guess we've had a handful of 3+ goal wins in the Premiership. Can't actually think of many in the SPL (4-1 v Hibs, 3-0 v Killie... any more?).
How can you forget beating Motherwell 5-0 & 4-0 in the same season? We've beaten St Mirren 3-0 twice at NDP as well as Aberdeen and Inverness. We also beat Ross County 4-0 in our great spell in 14/15. Just remembered another 4-0 v Dundee United.
Think you're right about SPL, there weren't many. There was also 3-1 at Pittodrie when Flavio missed a great chance to put us 4-0 up but we let them score a consolation with nine men.

Presumably players shouldn't all pile on celebrating a goal if sitting too close on a bus is an issue. Anyone remember Accies players after the late winner at Livi? Can't even do a brisk hand shake anymore. Maybe a hair ruffle?

Biggest win for Accies in god knows how long. Level on points with St Mirren and they now only have 1 game in hand

Since we last beat St Mirren 3-0, in Sept 18. Think the next best was beating your lot 4-0 the year before. We've actually had quite a few thumping wins in the Prem.

Cuthbert is an awful shout, expect better from you tbh. No chance it’d ever be him.
A Martin Canning team would not have lost that game 8-0 these are facts.
A Canning team lost 6-0 to Hibs, to be fair. At least we're getting absolutely horsed against a better calibre side.

Anyone know the Accies team?
