Don’t need a model to know that, I’ve got eyes! -

Missing this one as I’m at a wedding, I was cursing the date when the fixtures were released, not sure it’s not a blessing now! -
St Johnstone v Livingston - 02/03/24
Widge replied to LiviLion's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I do have some sympathy for saints in that game, as much as we were genuinely terrible how can you get any sort of rhythm and momentum going against those tactics. Allowed by the referee, the ball was only active and on the ground for about 15 minutes of that game and we played 108 fucking minutes. Thought Adama made an impact off the bench by being physical and actually looking to turn his man, equally I felt for Smith since he should never have had to play wide right and we looked better when we switched it up. Considine is done, Robinson was awful again and the only pass marks other than Mitov were Keltjens and McGowan. -
Aberdeen v St Johnstone 28.2.24

If that set of players is not playing in a 4-3-3, then I’m going to completely lose my head. I don’t mind if we lose games so long as we’re trying something different. -
Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons
Widge replied to Casagolda's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
As mad as this is, you’re not wrong. 5 days a week saints have 2/3 wakes and get togethers after funerals in the suites. I don’t know how much it costs, but it does start to fairly add up I’m sure. As RG says, we’re not all of a sudden getting bankrolled by some multi millionaire, or at least I wouldn’t imagine so, so our budget for next year will once again be getting slashed. -

Double Winning St Johnstone FC Thread

Let’s not forget that this works both ways, let’s ask Hibs fans what they think of Liam Craig, or Aston Villa fans about Enkleman. Certain teams suit certain players. Bair played almost 40 games for saints and scored a single goal. Good players find a way to score and influence games irrespective of management. He’s found a manager and club who can make the most of his average ability and I’m thrilled for him. -
Double Winning St Johnstone FC Thread

I could post this in the matchday thread, but let’s face it, at this point there’s no hope in there for any sort of reasoned discussion. Firstly, Dundee deserved to win that game without any real doubt which is frustrating and disappointing. However, we did hit the bar (should have scored) and actually forced a couple of good saves from Carson which hasn’t been the case at all this season. Not that it was good, but maybe there are signs of life up to that might form. Secondly, taking Kimpioka off totally lost us any minor control we had in that game. By going one up top the Dundee defence totally settled and it didn’t allow Sidebeh to isolate the centrebacks any more. The simple change was Keltjens to RWB and Sprangler on into the middle and take Dare off. I think it was also clear, we had about 4/5 players on that pitch who either weren’t fully fit or weren’t match fit and it showed towards the end. Also what a fit Drey Wright would actually bring to this team shouldn’t be understated. To actually have an attacking impetus down the right hand side would be helpful. Finally, as for the referee, he should never be allowed a top flight game again in my option. Yes he was awful for the entire game and no way near the standards. However, everyone is talking about the Mellon incident, but he did the exact same thing in the first half when Bakayoko and Gordon both went down, he played advantage. Both incidents are clear head knocks and play must be stopped immediately. I’d love to hear what he and the head of the referees are saying to this as he’s broken fundamental duties of care to the players. -

Let’s face it with the weather forecast from tomorrow this game isn’t going to be on is it? -
Given how badly we played, I’d actually say it was a point gained….

This is fucking brutal and I include both teams in that! Could relegate half this division and nobody could complain either. -

To be fair, Sven took a massive dunt on Wednesday and was moving pretty gingerly at full time, so I suspect that’s injury related more than preference being Max being in at all costs. -
The Famous Aberdeen - Season 2022/23
Widge replied to a topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Yeah very much this, it wasn’t a criticism of Miovski at all, he doesn’t stand a chance against a three man defence on his own. It’s not his game and the point I was making is Robson should see this and play a system that makes Miovski stand out as the excellent striker he is. The fact he’s got 17 goals this season in that set up and team is testament to his ability. -
The Famous Aberdeen - Season 2022/23
Widge replied to a topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Think that’s the first goal Miovski has scored against us in 3 seasons, so he’s still none from open play. I can see why Aberdeen fans are annoyed, he’s clearly a capable player and a good striker, yet he had zero chances last night against us and let’s face it we’re pretty crap. I get he’s not got the best away record, but the team should be set up to supply him and whatever Robson picked last night had no width or pace to it. It was like watching saints and frankly with the players available you should be miles ahead of us, but you’re simply not. That’s on the manager from an outsiders perspective. -
St Johnstone v Aberdeen 24 January 7.45pm
Widge replied to starryfish's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I think this is entirely the point, on both occasions Beaton has been looking right at it, played on and dismissed it as a foul from being 10 yards away. There is zero reason for VAR to intervene on either point as there is no clear and obvious error, unless the criteria for VAR being applied has changed, which it may have. Either way, how anyone can say it’s made the game better up here is beyond me, I was lucky enough to miss the game and watched on TV so I could see it unfold, but for those in the stadium it must have been infuriating.
