    Agree, but as long as we hang onto 5th, it really doesn’t matter that there’s three qualifiers to get to the group stage, the facts are we’d see the UEFA flag flying in the corner of the ground, and the match programme would be a genuine European game collectors item. Even if it is against some Welsh or far flung mob, the matchday announcement would be ‘Welcome to the SMiSA Stadium for this UEFA Conference League qualifier against FC Kazakdiddy’…

    That’s good enough for me. Hope we don’t fcuk this chance up. 

    We are St Mirren of course we will feck it up

    I think that's fair.

    Whilst finishing top six is a good achievement there is still a sense of what might have been given that we've chucked away a huge number of points that we really shouldn't have.

    We've lost more points to Livingston than any other team in the division this season, failed to win in Dingwall and lost at McDiarmid Park against a very poor St.Johnstone side.

    No divine right to win any game but it's throwing away points like that (and of course the awful record against Killie) which has ultimately cost us a challenge for 4th.

    If we still get 5th and qualify for Europe it will definitely be a successful season but if we come up short again and finish 6th it's hard to be overjoyed.

    Suppose that says a lot for how far we've come but there's always the niggle that two of the bigger clubs being shit in the same season probably won't happen again for a good while anyway.

     

    Whilst we have dropped some points against Livi etc it cant also be ignored the decisions that went against us when they were clear cut. The game at Dingwall for example with the clear handball. 

    Football can be fine margins but you need luck too.

    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.

    Problem is we have Hearts and Celtic. Realistically we could lose both. Full house at home we have watched this movie before. 

    Fingers crossed we get over the line on Saturday. Any win will do unless its Hearts

    Over the piece, I reckon we just about edged that over the 90 minutes, so ultimately another frustrating afternoon.

    This team has almost been banned from being criticised by certain elements of the support in recent months, when in all honesty, they have deserved any criticism coming their way – especially after the way we played against Livingston and Kilmarnock. I appreciate that we had a decent start to the season and we remain in a decent position – if we get a win against Hearts next week. However, from a form point of view, we really need to get back into a groove if we have any hope of going one step better than last year.

    Personally, I felt Robinson's subs killed us today. Boyd-Munce was dictating play whereas O'Hara was offering absolutely nothing. After CBM went off, we completely lost control of the midfield and it allowed Motherwell to get more on the ball. Robinson has been loyal to O'Hara to a fault when he has been fit, considering we also have Baccus and Kwon on the bench. The wrong man went off today.

    Add in that Olusanya was arguably putting in one of his best performances in a while, and he brings on McMenamin, who is looking more like a bust (when you consider the fee we paid) every week. We lost that chaos factor, which the Motherwell defence couldn't get near in the first half.

    Just to get off my chest too, Hemming's reluctance to come off his line, apart from going mad at corners, continues to put the defence under pressure.

    Credit where it is due, Marcus Fraser put in a great display today, as did Tanser I felt. Kiltie, strange miss aside, was tireless as always.

    Should have won. Didn't. Fair play to Motherwell for grabbing the goal. Could have went either way.

     

    Have to agree with the blind spot about O'Hara. I don't get why Robbo keeps him on. Perhaps he is more likely to grab a goal? CBM should have stayed on today. 

    Olusanya had been booked and it was probably fair he went off.

    I just don't get what we saw in McMenamin? Saying that we thought the same about Toyosi. I keep hoping he comes good. Next week would be good. 

    Apparently Kwon has a strain so not risked. 

    Kiltie showed poor judgement late on and should have scored. 

    2 games to grab top 6. Fingers and toes crossed we get over the line.
