…or not.

What’s a “typical” amount of dead time in a Saints game this season, or more generally? Expanding on the “worst game” theme… I pretty much always stay until the final whistle, have sat through some pathetic defeats to see them through, but yesterday I gave serious though to just going home just after the hour mark it was that dire.

We do this all the time. Get a few extra folk along who aren’t regulars then utterly stink the place out.

That was an utterly dreadful game of football. Both sides dreadful, ref dreadful, pitch dreadful. Goal was out of nowhere and I expected the VAR check to screw us.

You had me thinking he’d scored

Thought Saints were dreadful second half. All I’m seeing from Kimpioka is that he’s faster than any of our other options. Not particularly convinced by DJ up front, either. The ball spent a lot of time in the air, which suited Motherwell more than us - we just don’t win those balls. Thought we looked better on Wed night when the ball was kept down more.

Going back to @Ludo*1’s earlier question, I think Davidson would be currently be held in much higher regard by Saints fans if he had rode off into the sunset/down south straight after the cup double.

Ah, but each Perth Pound is worth £16.67 to Dundee FC.

Also saw Considine encouraging Fran to acknowledge the East Stand when he was coming off. Thought he had a great game.

Tommy Wright.

That remains a thoroughly depressing list.

What a difference it made when Robinson starting knocking the ball forward. Far too many passes back to Considine.

I was quite impressed with Parker’s long throw, he got the ball into the box at least once. Thought it may give us an option to do something with a set piece for once.

If results like this are the cost of the decade of success we’ve just had then I’ll still take that over whatever St Mirren, Hibs or Dundee saw in the same period. That was an inexperienced starting team with a lack of leadership from the senior players and a threadbare bench. It may be ok to bleed in some of the youngsters one at a time but not all at once. As it stands we’re going to be in trouble.

Hard to disagree with much of that. Too little leadership being shown.

Delighted with that top, based on my favourite Saints kit (and much appreciated as my replica from a few years ago seems to have shrunk in the wardrobe).

Next season’s home shirt, blue with white pin stripes and the lamb badge please

I’m working on the assumption that most of those commentators (both fans and pundits) have seen the cup double but not been watching the subsequent near two seasons on the park. I had real hope before the World Cup break that a corner had been turned. Shame that it hadn’t.

Fotheringham was by all accounts awful at Huddersfield.

f**k me. He wants sacked.

I’m sure I heard an announcement over the tannoy of a crowd in the region of 2,990. Wasn’t at the Aberdeen game but did notice on Saturday that most of the row behind my ST seat weren’t there, and the guy that sits beside me and leaves early set a new record - 42mins. Brought someone along who wanted to go to a game. Made the point ahead of time that it was likely to be awful. I was not wrong.

I preferred no transfer rumours. I also can’t believe I was happier when we were too tight to pay fees. Nothing against Jordan White.

Nice bit of business for them, €100k for us to have a loan of him for a year.

I’ve been wondering what that’s been about - thought it might be a cautious approach to managing his return, but we’ve looked a lot better with him on the pitch the last couple of games so if it’s for any “tactical” reason then that’s another mark against Davidson.

Cosgrove and Bradshaw for me these days. That said I tune in a lot less than I used to.
