I was convinced Drew was going to win at Mania, now I'm convinced they are going to hold off and put the belt on him in front of a Glasgow crowd.

If we lose on Saturday, we're still odds-on to make the top six. However, in a season where we have spent 0 out of 31 rounds outside of the top 5 in the league, it will be seriously disappointing if we make top six and miss out on 4th or 5th. For me this season, 6th is still an achievement, an indicator that what we're doing is somewhat sustainable but it would feel like a huge opportunity missed in terms of giving out supporters something that we've not had in over 35 years. After 29 played, I think I'd mentioned 4 points between Fir Park and Hearts at home in whatever order was essential. That still stands as a must. A win on Saturday means we go to Parkhead, a place we've picked points up in the last couple of seasons, with essentially a free hit. If we do win on Saturday, our season is going to be defined by the round robin of games vs Kilmarnock and whoever of Dundee/Hibs take the 6th slot, much the same as theirs will be...We should be going to Tynecastle and Ibrox and play Celtic at home which we shouldn't be earmarking many if any points for so this is a massive game not only for top 6, but for our entire season.

This is an 'and' scenario, rather than 'or' Hibs need to win both games and Dundee taking 5 points with us losing both in order to miss out.

Clash at the Castlemilk

KLR shot her load early and has since deleted. The Hydro is disappointing as they could easily shift 50k tickets but yeah, if the other venues are booked that weekend then I get it.

Nope. Plenty of supporters would be happy with, say, an 18 team division playing each other home and away or 16 teams and playoffs but broadcasters simply won't accept two less Old Firms a season. A 44 game season with the size of squad and budget most teams in Scotland run with wouldht be at all feasible IMO.

I dont think McMenamin is deserving of the stick. Neither do I think he was bad when he came on yesterday aside from a couple of poor crosses. He played folk in on 3 occasions and all three dilly dallied on the ball.

No. It looked it at first like it might have been his hand but appeared to have been a hamstring or quad issue from what I could see. He'll be a big miss if hes out for a period but Taylor proved again in his 70 or so mins why he is more than capable to be a first choice.

No there isn't. We are 1/80 at this point on Bet365 to finish top six for a reason.

Cargill's entire package, the music, the entrance, the costume, the look just screams 'megastar'. She's going to be absolutely massive. Whatever the 'it' factor is, she has it in buckets.

You really have been broken ever since that Covid game a few years back that got called off as a 3-0 win for Motherwell and then overturned. Fair play though, your presence on these threads is always a genuine highlight as it's cracking point and laugh material. Glad to see you here with all time league tables and juicy patter like 'St. Kidding'. Keep up the good work x

Fraser. 100% . He's chronic at left side of a back 3.

I want Rock to stay forever. He's so fucking good in this role.

Before, surprise surprise, signing for us. Gerry Baker is one of the biggest St. Mirren legends of the 50s/60s. Scored the clinching 3rd goal in our 1959 SC win. I don't mind getting players off Motherwell who can do a decent turn for us - it's a far cry from the days of Andy Dow, Jim Gardner, Stuart Carswell and Kevin Twaddle. In fact, in my formative years, the only players I recall getting from Motherwell who actually did us a turn were the excellent (but often injured) Ian Ross and the good (but always injured) Jamie McGowan.

I'm looking at the bench like 'That boy on the NI bench looks like our assistant manager' Because it is, forgot all about that.

Why is Tierney being booed by the away fans? Aren't we led to believe that Scotland fans pick on Scotland players based on the club they play for? Surely a fanbase lamenting this practice wouldn't be booing a player for the club he used to play for...

Some of the most virgin behaviour you're likely to see.

He only really had one loan. He loan to us was basically us getting him back for the remainder of his contract rather than seeing it out and leaving at end of that season. His only real loan move, as pointed out, was a short spell at Sunderland.

It's a red neck and a half. It was for us too in the 2 hours the sign went up 10 years ago before we instructed it to be removed. Slapping a Rangers badge right there over the Hearts badge is just as bad, possibly worse.

What's going here?!

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.

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.

You'll be waiting. He was emptied weeks ago for being a racist c**t.
