HT 0-0

Broxburn doing well, 11 men behind the ball and defending fine. We’ve had a couple of chances and should have scored, Obika in particular missing a cut back that looked harder to miss..

Sure the goal will come.

Highlight of the half was the worst pitch invasion I’ve ever seen just before half time. Young lad out the Broxburn crowd jogged up to the edge of the D, got booed, turned round and jogged back off.

FT 3-0

Job done, move on. Definitely a bit rusty after the break. Should have still had about 6 or 7 though, the Broxburn keeper definite man of the match.

He had about 5 fantastic saves in the second half alone. Mullen’s goal at the end was a much easier save than several he made.

Broxburn did well enough but as with most part time teams their fitness went in the second half.

Delighted for big Jon Obika to get another brace. Bizarrely he gets a lot of pelters from a section of our support. Doesn’t stop him scoring goals thankfully.

Not quite a sell out but a tremendous turn out, a crowd Hamilton, Livingston and the Saintees could only dream of.

Why would those clubs take as many as that to a run of the mill Premiership tie at St Mirren. 

This was probably Broxburns biggest ever game, of course a lot of folk are going to go. 

I havent checked, but I'm sure Livingston's biggest ever game, the 2004 league Cup final, and St Johnstones biggest ever game, the 2014 Scottish Cup final, had more fans than Broxburn had there today.

Had someone behind me wanting Obika off for Cooke in the 15th minute🤪 whilst I do stick up for Cooke and believe he can offer something he should never come on for our top scorer 15 into a game.
