Turnbull's distribution (by his own, normal high standards) was poor today. Thought McHugh and Tait were the pick of the bunch - although the entire team dropped that 1 or 2% you see happen in teams at the end of season with little to play for.

Or not.

Livi equalise. If both games finish this way we reclaim 7th this afternoon.

Second half St Mirren have changed their tactic of double-marking Ariyibi to just hacking him down any time he gets the ball.

Dominating possession without creating too many chances. A wee bit lucky the ref didn't award St Mirren a pen for Dunne's challenge (even though it was accidental). St Mirren look happy to sit in for a point at the moment. McHugh must be disappointing all his haters.

Looks like Ariybi has been told to play more central today - almost in the slot behind Scott - with Tait taking on the duties for wide left.

Might be a few Accies fans cheering us on too.

What manager ever says a new signing is a "shoo-in"?

We can agree a deal that suits both clubs, I think, with add-ons etc.

He (or most likely his agent) managed to annoy Rangers and us. That's why they initially pulled the plug. The cynic in me wonders if Hastie would have been listed for Young Player of the Year if he had stayed at Fir Park. No doubt he had a fantastic hot streak, but I thought this award should be judged over the full season.

Looking forward to the pre-season posts about how we look leggy and unfit in June and July and why all of the new signings are mince.

Turnbull and Semple I'd say.

That, plus writing guys off after they played a few games for us (Porter, Higdon, Dunne, Gorrin etc etc.)

While it's obvious not every signing can make an impact, I have more faith in our scouts and coaches finding players that will fit into our system than random fans who haven't a clue what we are looking for.

Perfect scenario for me is he stays at the club and becomes a key member of the famous 2023 Premiership winning squad.

Fans scream for lots of things that are not fouls (or pens).

Which would, at least, give Danny Johnson a second chance.

There was certainly no doubt in yesterday's bookings. The ref got a lot wrong, but not those. As Robinson said in his post match yesterday, he's been banging on at him all season to stay on his feet. Bookings are always going to come when you dive in like he does. (I think he's a great player, btw, and will be a big loss if he moves on).

If we lose Frear on top of Hastie and Ariyibi, it's going to be a big challenge to find players for a 2-winger system next season.

Unfortunately, professional scouts tend to study players (and game DVDs) rather than listen to our parochial media.

Like every great player, he always seems to have time and space - and he has the ability to not only see the pass nobody else sees, but to make the pass too.

From the comments Tanner has made on the match commentary in the past few months it sounded like they were preparing him for next season, but of course, that doesn't mean it will happen.

I thought maybe Craig Tanner for the lower terms offer.

Although, TBF, he'll be here longer than Aryibi.

Every Spanish midfielder used to tackle like that before they invented that tiki-taka style.
