im not suprised with the ban, but it's getting out of hand. If the players can receive bans after someone has watched a tv highlight, then it's long overdue that referee's are treated in a similar fashion. O'Reilly's performances are constantly criticised by fans up and down the country, but still continues to pick up good money each week.

if it's mentioned on their, he'll be suspended. so who up front against pars? murphy & ojamma

compare Craigan to Utd's Kenneth! who would you rather have?

Perhaps it might be best if one of the mods deleted all mention of gestures to fans, as the compliance officer might be lurking. Remember Griffiths has been done twice for this offence. So get it deleted or i reckon we could lose him againsts pars!

the abuse of players has been happening for decades, and constantly gets debated on this very website, especially after a defeat. Never ever going to change. I have said it before, but the Fir Park atmosphere can be poisenous, especially towards our own players. Mental, as the opposition now that if they sit in and let the fans get on the home players back, they've every chance of winning the game. We all want a winning team, but sometimes frustrations can get the better of certain individuals. I can understand the odd shout of discontent, but for the life of me can't understand why anyone would pay money to abuse our own players every single home game for no reason, other than they dont like them. It's obvious that the likes of Murphy, Humphrey & other younger players thrive on confidence. Abusing them is never ever going to help.

aye, thats going to look great. Manager gets team into cup final, top half of the table, has a few dodgy performances like every over spl team, and gets punted. aye, very good. Perhaps, now is the time for him to shine. Easy when we were winning, but he at least deserves times to sort this mini slide. The staff at Fir Park need knuckle down and work harder.

think the players spend more time practicising their golf swing!

only hearts have gained and overtook us today. We've still lgot games in hand, tho, whether we get any points from them....

aye, and tell them they are all for sale! which seems to have motivated them to try and sell themselves. Where as at Fir Park, the players all want to stay and are determined not to shine in front of scouts

dont think we've been found out. more like our luck has ran out, and players aint performing. Caley was always going to make it hard, but expected at least a draw. To lose is very poor, and arses need to be kicked. Also how many goals are we going to lose for not closing down the opposition!

Get clarkson back

Hughes has contributed less than Gow so far, and we never missed him when he left. If he wants to stay he needs to show alot more, and given his contract has expired, he's maybe not going to get any more chances. Carswell would have been better suited today, as he offers more dig. He should be getting more game time, given that he is our future. Moving Hateley again never worked. Lets just keep him at right back, where he is miles better. Punting the ball to Higdon aint going to work, as a) he has no support & b) the refs wont allow him to compete for the ball, for some reason. He certainly does not get a fair crack with the refs, something the st mirren fans warned us about.

aye we are third, and thats very good. But for once, hows about giving the fans a peformance against Rangers. I aint asking for a win, just some effort, commitment and proper organisation at the back.

when we got the ball they closed us down, they got the ball, we backed off. Says it all. They might have more resources at their disposal, but technically they aint any better. It seems we have forgotten how to play the ball on the deck, how to press the opposition and give a feck basically!

as someone said before lafferty is the danger. take him out early doors.mind you 11 traffic cones would give us problems if they had rangers tops stuck to them.

today is disappointing, but not unexpected. If you cant be merry when we are sitting third, five points clear of fourth, game in hand, then you will never be a merry 'well fan. remember we could be involved in a relegation battle, like the dons.

i thought jennings grabbed his face to give him a big kiss, but obviously the saints player was not in the festive mood So when does the referee serve his suspension, given the incident happened right in front of him? If a referee show discretion, then some guy in a suit can disagree and hand out a two game suspension. Madness. The suit mob are going to be very busy every week. Perhaps the club should adopt the government approach and sensor any tv pictures

all of this would not have happened if the referee had acted on the two footed tackle on jennings. Hows about the referee is banned for two games for incompentence.

I wonder if the local retail parks were gritted prior to their opening?

our poor form is mediocre?? Surely, that bit over the top, given we've lost only 3 times all season. I remember seasons where we hardly picked up a point at home all season. Lets not get ahead of ourselves, and enjoy the fact we are 3rd, picking up points most week.

take a draw at home, as long as we keep winning away. It will be tough, like every game in the SPL, as there is little other than confidence, between most of the teams. As fans we need to be patient, as one goal might be enough to win this.

dont think the size of park has got anything to do with anything. Seems alot of clubs find it easier away from home. perhaps its the modern day tactics.

its good they were arguing, it shows they care and are committed. I would be more concerned if they were all smiles when they walked off. We need to get the home win monkey of our back, and quick. Tho, Hibs always cause us problems, so losing at half time was no great shock.

i remember the days when a draw against utd, was deemed a good result. I also remember reading a certain poster stating they dont fancy Hughes much in a battle, yet are suddenly suprised he aint playing in a battle in a middle of a weather storm Whilst, it's frustrating we aint battering teams 5 nil at home, we should be flattered that teams are trying to park the bus. Even the best teams in the world often struggle to beat well organised defensive teams, so why should we be any different given our lack of resources? I would take a draw at home most weeks if our away form continues as it is. I reckon we are about 3 wins away from being safe from relegation! As long as we continue to pick up points in most of our games, we will be fine.

it's all if's and but's. Sell one or two, use money to resign those others on better terms seems the normal. We are having one of our best seasons so far for many a year, so why worry about future seasons. We've always managed to do quite well, at times when things seem bleak. Cannae see many players wanting to leave if we are in the champions league next season
