Lasley off with a hamstring injury... Saunders on.

Tsk, every time I've joined the commentary a few minutes late this season we seem to have scored beforehand... maybe I should stop listening altogether!

It's true that the attendances haven't increased, but the performance of Irish clubs in Europe has fairly noticeably improved since the switch in 2003. Of course, they primarily play the games on Friday nights here, so as not to clash with the GAA games on Saturdays and Sundays. And it's always going to be a bit of a struggle to get more people to turn out on a Friday night in a country where most of the population lives in the pub on a Friday night.

Ought to be worth a couple of hundred quid I'd have thought, maybe more with the right audience. Maybe our illustrious colleague Sidney D. would be able to lend a hand in publicising it?

Believe they won 2-0.

Can see us creating one or two decent chances on the break, but doubt they'll be enough to take any points even if we convert them.

He wasn't the only person who said that, to be honest... no shortage of comments on the YouTube clips and elsewhere mocking the diddiness of the defending from two of the better teams in the country at the time. (Not that I'd recommend YouTube comments as a great barometer of anything other than general bampottery.) To fans of the two teams involved, though, and probably to most SPL fans, it'll live long in the memory for (mostly) the right reasons.

Here you go.

No doubt it would indeed piss a few off. Hopefully, though, any new stadium would become 'just a short walk up the road' for a whole bunch of new people who wouldn't regularly have gone to Fir Park, just as Fir Park probably became one for some who wouldn't regularly have gone to Roman Road (although I concede that both those venues were in the same town...)

Fairly common procedure these days and a better than decent chance of a full recovery at his age, you would hope-- good luck big man.

My thoughts exactly. Nothing to see here.

Bit of a leap from "some shares changing hands" to "shiny new stadium", methinks. Will just have to wait and see, though...

Remember the result and seeing the goal on TV very well, although I wasn't at the game and can't remember why, as I'm pretty sure I had a season ticket by then. Bit of a sickener that...

Saunders saves us there... another good ball into the box from Cregg, Saunders just gets there before Higdon.

I'm heading into Dublin to see Kevin Bridges, if that's a good enough reason

I'm going to have to scoot off in 20 mins or so anyway, so hope you're not still relying on me by then

Now my commentary's gone EDIT: Back now.

Dangerous cross in there from Higdon, just needed a touch for the equalizer... but it didn't get one.

Game still being played in our half at the moment.

St.Mirren getting forward a bit more now, defence dealing easily enough so far though.

Brief spell of pressure from St.Mirren there, ending with Higdon fouling Craigan.

Three corners in the past couple of minutes for us, nothing much doing from any of them though.

Blackman just had one tipped round the post now. Sounds like there's only one team on the park right now, need more than one goal though!

Commentary's fine here. Hateley just had a good shot tipped onto the bar...

GOAL! Humphrey!
