Coventry Saint

Naw, he did, but he bent his legs away and made contact with his knees. A bad, late challenge, but definitely not a red. 100% sure it gets overturned if we appeal. If that happens, and it gets downgraded to a yellow, does Bolton get a suspension as if he was sent off on the night (ie for a second yellow?)

That should have been a yellow, so he'd have been off anyway, but now I guess we can appeal that. It'll get overturned.

Fucking outrageous booking, that.

I said as much on a Saints Discord. He was fouling Beck, I think, a LOT in the build up to that break away chance you had. Basically wouldn't let him go.

Yeah, that's fair. The way we line up is quite tight - Scott and Kiltie as wide forwards aren't going to stretch the game. I did think it was an alright half though. I've seen much, much worse, tbf.

Thought we were decent, and definitely edged it. I love CBM, I think he's been outstanding. Bit of a cliche but got to hope we don't regret not making the most of that territorial dominance.

It's now become clear that on the way to the ground, the Dundee team bus was brushed lightly and promptly fell over.

Sadly, he's so misunderstood that he's tried to resign but somehow is still in the job.

Tbf we didn't turn up at Dens at all earlier in the season.

Delayed kick off, apparently. More tinpot than box office tbqhwy.

There's something about his face that always reminded me of Eugene Tooms, that baddie from the X Files. Look, I'm not saying Adams is a cannibalistic, shape-shifting serial killer who hibernates for decades at a time by feasting on human livers to sustain himself. But would that explain a few things? Certainly.

I think we'll stick with the lineup. Can't see Baccus being thrown back in straight away. And if you go three in the middle, who are you dropping up front? Kiltie's been arguably our most in form player.

How was Sutherland today?

Fair play, that was some result today. Coincidentally, I just had a Facebook memory from six years ago today, and your points level was similar after the same number of games. You'd have to say the likely playoff opposition is much weaker this time around.

It's been a good couple of years since Aberdeen appointed a St Mirren manager with a long recent losing streak in his back pocket, so maybe they will be tempted again. I can't see them doing it, but it did make me laugh at the time that we ended up with the superior manager out of that whole episode. What's also funny is that if Aberdeen would NEVER habe recruited Robbo when he was at Morecambe. I think they'll see what candidates make themselves available before trying to poach from within this league.

Two things on that: firstly, we seem to get accused of that a lot, often by Hearts fans which is cute given they're the ones nursing the pathetic 40-year grudge. But perhaps there's something in it, and it's likely to have something to do with our actual rivals being utterly shite for unbroken decades. You're in a similar boat, so maybe just get with it. Secondly, actually, my Grampa always used to talk about Killie as being rivals, mainly based on the traditional New Year games. Not saying he was correct either way, but I don't think this is a new thing.

There was the mad Jack Ross one to keep us up. Total squad reshuffle.

You've already had it mate.

I think the challenge might be getting him to come up there. Doing well at Aberdeen could absolutely take his career onto the next level, but doing badly in Scotland has put a bullet in the head of a lot of managers that appeared to be promising. Glass, Goodwin and Robson with Aberdeen; Ross, Heckingbottom & Moloney with Hibs; most of the same guys + Mellon and Fox at United. Maybe they're all just shite, maybe they're all just bad appointments. Or maybe managing in Scotland is a fucking tough gig and you're more likely to fail than not. If you're Eustace, are you looking at a list of similar-ish guys who have tried it up here and are now nowhere to be seen and/or in the Scottish Championship?

Big fan of his. Treated disgracefully by Bham. Would be a good appointment, IMO.

You'd better pray he hasn't kept it.

Livid about this. Robson has made a habit of just doing enough to keep his job, and I had hoped he'd continue doing so for some time.
