Always liked Morton since we dispatched them 3-1 in glorious May sunshine and I took part in my only ever pitch invasion taking the opportunity to pat Gary Irvine on the back and shake hands with Alan Main 

 

Good luck against the Arabs next week lads

3-0 flatters St Johnstone. Horrific from both teams. Sick to death of us being utter shite at the back. 

3-0 doesn't flatter Saints at all, apart from a 5 minute spell at the start of the second half and a spill by Clark in the first Morton offered hee haw. Fair enough the game was poor, but we could've stepped it up if we needed. Levels lads, levels.

At least we've got an excuse that we've not played a match for 3 weeks, no idea what Mortons excuse for that was.

Nice to see a Saints team never get close to their best and still routinely thump a lower league side though, it has to be said, been too long since that happened. I dare say if we'd had Kennedy, and the team was match sharp, it wouldve been more than 3.

Davidson and McCann were superb in the middle, and May's goal was class. Fingers crossed he takes confidence from running away from defenders and chipping the keeper.

We created enough good chances to earn a goal but nothing more than that. We didn’t play well even by our current standards and all three goals were soft as shite. If you play like that against any halfway competent outfit then you deserve to lose as comfortably as we did.

Giving Millar a runout when he isn’t actually good enough to contribute on the park was utterly pathetic. If Morton are going to treat it as a glorified testimonial then they can refund the full price of admission.

I think that's the tenth time this season that we've conceded 3 or more goals, and 41 goals that we've now conceded in 16 away games (38 in 11 against full time opposition).

We've been a wee bit better recently, but we're always likely to concede a few goals. There's nothing surprising about this result. We concede far too many goals to be at all likely to get a result.

May makes that run all the time and we rarely try to play him in from it.

Can we please, please, please, give Hendry and May a chance together at some stage. Kane offered not a thing today.

Good win overall as rusty as we were after the winter break.

Morton had their chances at 1-0, but their finishing was poor.  If they'd taken one it might have been interesting to see how we responded.

Booth has been a great signing for us considering he was supposedly to be cheap cover at left back.  His goal was superb, but his all round play is good as well.  May took his goal really well. Think Hendry should have been given far longer, that partnership of May and Kane was pretty awful.  Considering we haven't had a game for a while and plenty of fixtures coming up, could have done with players getting minutes in their legs.

A good away trip to a lower division team next round would be great.

Decent Morton support. Liked the "they'll sit where they want" chant.  Good luck for the rest of the season.
