Absolutely stupendous news.
O'Hara once again leading by example as captain, hopefully convinces others to sign on for longer. Getting him tied down to that length of contract is amazing work again by the club.
Do we think Curtis will sign or will he get one more big pay day somewhere else? He will definitely have offers, I'm sure.

Hearts lying down to Celtic again?

Depends what league you are going to be playing in, for a start.
That as well.
I think Killie will be ok, home form + Dundee United means 11th at worst. I think they'll have enough for the playoffs but I think I said that before.

He tried to go for Brophy when he was the Aberdeen manager.
Not sure if Killie will be able to afford him, or if anyone will offer the same amount he is on with us. He may want to collect that wage for another 12 months that's left on his contract with us.
3k a week has been mentioned.

Thankfully we have another week to hopefully ease off some injuries.
Hopefully Gallagher is back, Dunne will be a miss for us.

I hope the club decide to half the away allocation again for the vermin coming next season.
Graffiti and a few broken seats, meh bit poor, shite all over a toilet and blocking other toilets?
Horrendous. Worse than the Rangers fans and that's saying something.

Red card do you honestly think Kyogo was getting anywhere near that ball. I had a perfect angle opposite from the refs and he wasn't
So if he wasn't, does that still merit a red card it was never a goal scoring opportunity...
I've no idea what the rule is now
Dunne has to make a genuine attempt to win the ball, which he didn't. Stewart did the same for Aberdeen against us, stonewall red card.
Debatable whether it was a penalty, when you freeze frame it does Dunne have a hold of him when Kyogo has his foot on the penalty box line? From the sky camera angle it looks as if he just lets go in time.

Can't agree. That clown has let us down and has cost us points a few times this season with his stupidity. Needless red card today caused by his own cockiness and he ruined the day again for our fans.
If his absence at Tannadice means a starting place for Joe Shaunessy we will start stronger than we did today.
I think we are a worse team without him. He does have brain fart moments, but as Robinson said on the radio, if he didn't make mistakes he would be playing at a higher level.
I love big Joe, sadly I think the obvious replacement is Taylor who looks to have a few bomb scare moments in him as well

Our disciplinary record is the worst in the league after today.
I suppose it's part of our game plan to defend at all costs, but we need to rein it in.
Otherwise our last few games before the split are going to be affected by further suspensions.
Dunne's sending off also impacted on our goal difference, which could be crucial for any top six ambitions.
Will really miss Dunne for Tannadice too.
Frustrating. Hate the games against they 2. Especially when you play so well and get build up a bit of hope.
6900 odd at the game as well. Looked a bit emptier than some of the best attended games this season.
Huge police presence too, been a while since I seen them on horse back in the surrounding streets at the stadium.

Vintage St. Mirren.
Vintage StMirren, the only team to give Celtic a game this season it seems.
Definitely the only team to beat them.
A moment of madness cost us. Goal difference has taken a doing as well. Meh. We'll badly miss Dunne for Tannadice, assuming he only misses the 1 match?

United’s near-certain relegation should improve our chances of securing Watt on a permanent deal. Assuming the majority of their first team squad will have release clauses in their contracts, would any of them strengthen us? Levitt maybe?
Would take McGrath back but it would be the same issue we have with Kiltie, he wouldn't fit in Robinson's team.
Not sure id take Watt in exchange for letting Brophy go but from what folk like Div have said Brophy will be away if we get offers due to his wage. Will Watt be any cheaper?

Dammit, we are wearing our away kit today

I’ve no idea why we can’t we’re our home kit, never mattered before, we’ve wore the hoops plenty of times in paisley.
Stripes v Hoops works better than the stripes v grey.
It wasn't too bad at the game but on TV it will cause issues 100%

Yip, I do fully expect the top six race to come down to the final round of games. It's going to be extremely tight with every goal and every point vital.
Suppose we rescued one last weekend but it sure didn't feel like that at the time.
Results went for us until Aberdeen won at Tannadice. Will be interesting to see what our Ben h will look like today. Hopefully have some bodies back.

Have they played in it since the defeat in Paisley earlier in season?
1 hour ago, Drew Brees said:Amid the fallout of losing last year to St Mirren, there was also a mini-stir caused by Celtic wearing their third kit, a silvery grey number. Television viewers did not like it, feeling that it clashed too much with the hosts’ black and white stripes. Postecoglou is also not a fan of the attire, but it will be the same outfit for this match, at the request of match referee David Dickinson.
“I think we are going to play in grey again,” confirmed Postecoglou. “I don’t like it either but it is what it is, mate. I think what people said on the day and what I thought on the day was it is harder to distinguish between players then it would be if there was a clearer distinction between the strips. But it is the referee’s decision and we abide by the referee’s decision.”
When asked if the shirts interfere with the players’ peripheral vision, Postecoglou laughed. “C’mon mate, c’mon,” he said. “There will be numbers on their shorts and socks and I am sure they can tell who is wearing a similar one.” It will help the contrast if St Mirren wear their black away kit, as has been suggested.I hope we have refused to wear our away kit.

Not massively sure I'd be risking anyone who isn't 100% on Sunday, both because Celtic are absolutely the sort of team who will take advantage of any weakness, but also because we have much bigger battles ahead than this one.
Very much a free hit on Sunday. I want us to win of course, and there is no reason we can't give them another good game in Paisley, but our top six destiny probably lies in the three games against Utd, Livingston and Kilmarnock with a wee sniff of maybe getting something at Tynecastle.
Only having two games in April could be a massive blessing for us given the current injury situation. I definitely wouldn't be risking Greive this weekend since Watt won't be available for Tannadice.
True about it being a free hit but remember in the season after COVID when we missed out on the top 6 by a goal, that came after recent hammerings against Celtic in Paisley and Rangers at Ibrox. Every goal conceded could become vital, even in defeat. Top 6 is decided after 33 games obviously not just 1 or 2 moments we can look back at. Nicky Clarks overhead kick being a prime candidate
.
That being said we will hopefully make Celtic work hard for the 3 points if they are going to win. Sadly we won't be playing against Ralston and Welsh this time, and we are without Ayunga who was incredible in the 2 home games against the OF.
Celtic were sluggish against us at Parkhead in the cup yet still put 5 past us.

I don’t hate him tbf (although he pushed it yesterday).
He doesn’t seem like a bad guy, quite the opposite. He’s just not very good at his job and he talks a lot of waffle to mask it.
Still in disbelief as to how he was given the Aberdeen job at the time. He was doing ok with us, on a good run but only weeks before that good run, according to ITK guys on here we were sniffing about McInnes before Killie appointed him. We hadn't won in about 11 games.
He got away with a lot because as you say, would sweet talk the fans and he had (still has imo) legendary status as a cup winning captain, Aberdeen fans were never going to take to his teams playing style or be that bit more patient with him because he had no affiliation with their club.
United fans already despise him so he has to get off to a good start to win them over.

If this thread proves anything a mere two pages in it's that St Johnstone desperately need to do something to improve the fan experience - something I've been harping on about for years. Doesn't surprise me in the slightest that the majority of folk think an away day to McDiarmid is shite.
I think the fact supporters buses aren't (or at least recently as far as I know/remember) allowed into Perth city centre before the game ruins the day a wee bit but that's down to the police.
Ayr and Cappelow are romantic ideas but in reality both stadiums are run down wrecks with next to no atmosphere. WDE is a crumbling mess and I don't think the away end roof at Somerset has much left in it.

I wonder if he landed on his big toe instead of above the ankle, whether that would result in a different decision....
Of course it would have been a different decision. His ankle/leg wouldn't have bent for a start.

Best thing is Brophy to score a load of goals and we sell him for a decent fee. He just doesnt do it for us.
He scored goals for us last season though, just not in Paisley
. He has only had 1 start with us this season with quite a few sub appearances. Managed 2 assists. He has had a lot of time off injured.
Ayunga and Main work as a pairing, for the most part you couldn't argue for him to start ahead of either of them and he's on too much £ to be sitting on our bench.
If he can score a few more, come back fit and confident, we either get a good player coming back or we can sell him as you say.
If it's a choice between Brophy or Watt as our no 9 next season, who is everyone choosing?

Small looked a threat before he tired yesterday. Provides the opposite of Tanser going forward, pace and power, albeit a bit raw. Didn't realise he is only 18.
If he could get his crossing up to the standard of Strain or even Tanser he will be some player.
Again just a shame the squad is so thin just now. If Tanser starts and Small comes on for the last 30 that could have made a huge difference.
Taking Gallagher, Baccus, Ayunga, Tanser, Erhahon (fair enough we sold him) out the starting 11 and the fact we lost Grieve and Tait from the bench, to be in the position we are shows how ridiculous our home form has actually been. Clinging onto the position with our finger nails a bit now though.

Brophy looked excellent in the Sportscene highlights tonight. Dundee United are dreadful though.
One thing he's got that our other strikers don't is that he shoots any time he gets so much as a sniff of goal. This is a major strength and weakness. Today he found the net twice but we've seen plenty times where he's blazed numerous shots high and wide.
I'd love to see him back and banging in goals next season.
Then you see Main in 2 great positions where it could be argued he should have just shot instead in one instance where he took an extra touch away from goal then tried to cut it back, and the second instance where he dummied it instead of taking a touch and blasting it.
It's just typical of our luck though. Brophy couldn't buy a goal with us confidence at an all time low, looks a brand new player at County and 2 of our strikers get injured and we bring in Watt who is rusty and hasn't had the best of seasons.
Not saying Brophy would have scored goals for us but he would have at least had a run of games in the team which he was crying out for (before the inevitable injury).

I’m serious. Watch the highlights without your black and white tinted glasses on. Seriously. Should not have stood.
The red card wasn't a red card? Ooookkkk
.
I think even the StJohnstone fans are selling their team a bit short here. Yes we were toothless but we were up against a very well organised team who defended their box well. We are the same, we done a number on Killie when we were down to 10 men for 90 minutes.
Probably why the games between us, especially in Perth, are always an eye sore. 2 teams with similar styles and aren't the best on the eye to watch.
Our lack of options on the bench fucked us today, Ayunga and Grieve would have given us something different to work with up front, Watt and Main could have been subbed much earlier had that been the case. Main has been limping for about 2 weeks now

Positives are we maintain the gap between the 2 clubs and go a further point away from Livi.
The negative is thats 4 points dropped against StJohnstone this season. As soon as that free kick was given you just knew what was going to happen. How the f**k did he loop that header in.

They are giving Strain so amount of space. He is our most creative player by far.

Terrors v Maureens - Saturday 18th March 2023

Will be interesting to see what sort of reaction Goody gets tomorrow from our fans, on the day after the 10 year anniversary of the league cup win.
Would like to think he will get a wee applause at least before the game, before the torrent of abuse starts
.
At the end of the day only 4 StMirren captains have lifted a trophy at Hampden and he is one of them.
