WTF ??? Was that not a great tackle ?????

I've got to do it.......(only because my predictions are always 100% wrong, ask any bookie). That team selection will get us humped. (I'd wanted us to play 4-4-2 with a diamond midfield, Tierney at the point. Only thing is, unavailability has changed the 11 i'd have used, but with what's there, i'd have had O'hara in for Cornelius)

Agree 100% with this. Ojala, while a good footballer, looks unfit and appears to be made of cookie dough. Solholm gets away with it because of his megaphone moment, and Mugabe is prone to his bombscare moments, although he is much improved. Lamie has been better than any of them this season.

I really don't think it's a matter of fans (and I include myself in this) being unhappy that we made top six. What I can't get my head around is that people seem to think there is a choice to be mde between playing decent fitba' and losing and playing shite fitba' and winning. Do you seriously think that over the course of a season, playing five defenders, two midfielders and three up front, pumping the ball back to front and trying to defend on the odd occasion we score would win us games ? In the first half of the season, at times we may not have looked great (or even good) but we won games and got the bulk of our points with a midfield on the park that sometimes saw the ball. What does everyone consider our best performance of the season ? For me, it was against Hearts, where we pressed high and passed the ball. If we can do that against the 3rd best team in the league, we can do it against Ross County and Livingston. After Watt left, Alexander went into this spiral of stupid formations (especially in the cup against Hibs), chopping and changing defenders etc. The way some people are describing our 'top six success' you would think that not winning for three months and playing hoofball was a necessary component of that success. If we played our best players in their best positions, against the majority of the SPL, we'd be better than them. Not making stupid formation changes and using the ball properly would have got us top six a lot sooner. Box to box punts for 90 mins died along with Airdrie.

Three men against one there and we had to foul him to stop him getting away with the ball. Fucking pathetic.

And as I said that, Ross Co bumped us into the bottom six......

TBH, i'd rather not finish in the top six. We're just going to get pasted every week.

Great goal from Slattery. I seriously doubt bevis meant that lay off coming off his arse, but a goal is a goal.

Correct. The pitch hasn't stopped them passing the ball or their players getting forward, or marking or clearing properly.

Not really expecting us to have turned into Barcelona, but maybe a pass now and again that reaches a team mate or something more inventive than a 'blooter' might have been in order. Oh, and Carroll is absolute dog shit, Cornelius has done nothing but give the ball away and both central defenders are sleeping.

Back to looking like our players have never seen each other before.

COYW !!

I'd play Roberts ahead of either of them TBH.

Would love to but I canny really afford any further ageing

Thank feck for that. Happy Birthday to me !!

St Mirren have completed more passes today than we did in all the time Robinson managed us ! We need to make a change cause we're surrendering possession to easily now.

See if we just call full time right now, it all looks ok for us !

Who'd have though that strikers can score goals when you give them the ball facing the oppositions goal. We should have tried that earlier in the season.

Great finish from Goss. It's amazing what can happen if you put good balls into the box. And now Shields.....

Fucking comedy defending again !!!!

Closer to what I would have like to have seen. I'd have dropped wither Efford or Shields to play Tierney in the front of a diamond shaped midfield , but hey ho

We'd just have to hope Alexander's back 8 can keep St Midden out

KVV is a striker. Strikers have to have good balls played to them in scoring positions. KVV, Efford and Shields are playing this new '2 in midfield' formation that the manager has come up with on the half way line. In fact, today Efford spend a while clearing up in the left back position (like Tony Watt did early in the season). It doesn't matter if you have the best striker in the world playing for you. If you only ever punt the ball over his head or give him the ball on the half way line, he's not going to score.

Fuckin' pish. get that idiot Alexander tae fuck. Canny attack, canny defend, canny pass, punt high balls aimlessly week after week hoping for a different result. Fucking clown.

That's being awfully generous. I would love to know what the fuck Alexander and Lucketti are discussing on the sidelines. "We're playing quite well here.....no need to change things...."
