A nervy 3 - 1 win after we go 2 - 0 up in the first half, let St Mirren back in it around the 63rd minute for 2 - 1, then dig in until the 87th minute when Hylton and Long combine for the 3rd after Campbell robs Magennis to set them up.

It's always going to be a problem deciding which players enter first. I imagine the Ancell Babes and every player from both cup winning teams and the league winning team all deserve a place. And that's before you start picking through the greats that played in teams that never won anything (like Wullie P). I think Pettigrew is a great inductee, though. He is a legend and still works at the club, so the perfect candidate for launching the idea as far as PR, promotions etc.

Liverpool have conceded 7 goals in their last 4 games and Motherwell have conceded only 5 in their last 5. So Andy Robertson out and Richard Tait in?

Interesting article in The Herald about Polworth's stats so far this season. In summary "As it stands, no top-flight player has made as many good chances as the Motherwell midfielder."

I see Stuart Findlay from Killie (shock horror) has been called up. You can argue the toss about whether Gallagher is international quality, but I'd say he's been better than Findlay this season.

(I already posted this tomorrow).

Like "Back to the Future" without the hoverboards.

And Aberdeen though Main was a better option...

I haven't seen the highlights so my memory might be wrong, but I thought the ref waited for advantage and pulled it back when there was none.

I would give Gallagher and Campbell pass marks, but Gillespie ensured the 3 points.

They added 45 seconds to the 3mins of extra, so it didn't even do that.

Donnelly has always had that in his game, unfortunately. I thought he'd matured a bit this season, but that was stupid and pointless - and detrimental to the team.

Does Cole still miss it?

It was pretty poor. Second half, St Johnstone had decided to fall over in the box every time the ball came in, and it worked getting a soft pen. Meanwhile Campbell was felled a few times with no action taken.

Donnelly for off the ball incident. Difficult to tell how much was in it from the video, but the St Johnstone player made a meal of it. Played better last week, but happy to take the 3 points.

Campbell's the one keeping the tempo going right now (or trying to) - which is why they keep hacking him down two at a time.

Ilic on for Scott, looking for a Croatian wonder goal.

We've upped the tempo a bit now. Need to sustain it and get a second.

Slow start to the 2nd half, giving up lots of possession to St Johnstone. And Saints doing all they can to persuade the ref to give them a pen every time they get into the box.

Saints played some decent football without really threatening our goal. We've created the 2 best chances and scored one of them. Was a well worked goal from the corner. Another Polworth special to Gallagher just beyond the back post, who knocked it into the path of Cole for a tap in.

1 - 0, Cole. (Nobody could miss 2 that easy!)

Aye, Cole is starting to look like he's desperate for a goal. I think Long would have got that one. Shankland could well be a big success in the Premiership, it's just not a banker.

You sure about that? Because he extended his contract in January before it expired in the summer.

There are a few players we offloaded that found their level in the Championship, so the jury is still out for me. Wasn't that long ago Craig Moore scored something like 23 goals in 28 games for Ayr Utd.

Possibly worse. An unmarked Cole at the back post, less than a yard out, managed to miss the target.
