Exactly, no complaints on whataboutery here. In a way, I actually prefer us having a shite inexplicable brain fart to losing our to stupid refereeing decisions as that least what happened on Saturday is within our control to fix. People can talk about how easy goals 4 and 5 were but the two goals that got Killie back on terms were really annoying as well. I thought at the time that there was a foul in the build up to Killie's first and was confident it would be chalked off but on seeing the highlights, two players go for the ball...our player waits in anticipation, Killie's player though decides he's winning it and wants it more, absolutely nothing wrong with it and taking my St. Mirren head off, it's nice to see that VAR decided there was nothing in it as that was correct... these ones are always at risk from a pernickety VAR official. Then for the penalty, the annoying thing is that Flynn just putting pressure on Watkins meant he took a heavy touch and that would have been enough as he had knocked it out for a goal kick. He didn't need to launch into him whatsoever. He did the exact same thing against Hearts last season in a crucial game with a player running away from goal in the 93rd minute and cost us two points then as well. Flynn looks OK in early stages of games but certainly doesn't have the legs for even an hour of football now.

The St. Mirren FC 2023/24 thread
djchapsticks replied to djchapsticks's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Flynn and Dunne are far weaker options than Taylor and Brown and I think almost everyone of a St. Mirren persuasion is of this opinion. The defence today scared me on paper and it absolutely proved true in the second half. -
No chance. There was still 25 mins left and our heads had completely gone at that point. Kilmarnock were cutting through us at will and would have carved plenty more out. The warning signs had been there in first 15 mins of the 2nd half. Today was just one of those unexplainable things and regardless of Killie's improvement, there is no real reason for our performance, which was bery good in the first half to fall so dramatically off a cliff. We should still have had more than enough to go toe to toe with Kilmarnock and we simply didn't, especially with a bench of very decent quality. Not only losing but being absolutely hammered from that position is something we need to not let get to us. We're still in the position that we *should* have Killie again before the season end and we need to rectify today if we do.

Still struggling to get my head around how inexplicable thst was today. We were miles on top in the first half and we've been superb at defending leads all season... the old cry of 'right, nothing stupid' went out the window and then some as the players appeared to have swapped the boots onto their other feet for the second half. Fair play to Kilmarnock. They smelled blood in the water at the point where Gogic made an arse of a passback (again) early in the second half and got away with it and at that point knew they didn't have to do anything fancy to get at us, just play right through the middle. We absolutely folded on a spectacular scale, every time Killie came forward they looked like scoring and for one torturous spell, were doing exactly that. We need to lift it and quickly. We played a get out of jail card against Aberdeen and today was a huge step backwards. Also, Dunne and Flynn should be thanked for their services and this should be the end of their tenures in St. Mirren shirts. I'd not be up nor down if that was the case for Marcus Fraser either

Just a total shit eating grin watching Rock roll back the years and do what he's best at.

According to O'Neill himself, this is exactly what has happened as he's having a go at the Scottish press today for doing so. https://www.belfastlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/michael-oneill-responds-rumours-linking-28820594 -

Exactly what I said in the Aberdeen manager thread. It came from a combination of his presence and someone on Radio Scotland commenting that he's there despite there being 'No Northern Irish players on the pitch'. -
The Famous Aberdeen - Season 2022/23

If they are still within 3 or 4 points of 11th by the split, then it definitely could happen given how cutthroat it becomes. On the other hand, they'd be just one well-timed win away from safety as well in that scenario. They are due to travel to Perth post split. Do they also visit Dingwall? -

That's now 4 players we have called up. Ayunga - Kenya Bwmono - Uganda Gogic - Cyprus Baccus - Australia I'm going to guess that McMenamin and Boyd-Munce will also make the NI squad and Strain would have been in the Australian squad but for injury.
