The St Mirren fans are right to gloat about yesterday not that I thought they played well but we were absolutely stinking after Matty Kennedy put us ahead but 2 questions need to be asked.
How bad is the league that Aberdeen are still in 3rd having lost HALF of their 18 games?
Oh and why did Mark O'Hara not take the 3rd penalty?
Just seen this post above mine. This his arse collapsed tbh, his first 2 penalties weren't the best.
With hindsight he'd have been as well taking it anyway but he really didn't fancy it.

Quite a few folk saying O'Hara should have taken the 3rd penalty, he didn't want to take it. He passed it onto Ayunga. Probably shouldn't have taken the 2nd penalty either after what happened with the first, thankfully the power in the shot meant Roos dived over it, because it was nowhere near the corner.
As for the 3rd penalty, its all about composure for me and Ayunga is probably the least composed finisher in the team
, didn't fancy him to score it.
Didn't think the Ayunga Main partnership was paying off yesterday, then Stewart made an arse of it due to Ayungas pressuring, which is what you get off they 2.
Choking for Brophy to get a start as you know he'd score more but you can't justify dropping Ayunga or Main as they are integral as to how we play as a team.

The BBC Alba commentator loving life, screaming "Kiiiiltttiiieeeee!".
How many times do you see that sort of situation when it's an open goal from about 40 yards and a player scuffs it wide. What a feeling when that went in.
Baffling that the keeper was allowed up with what, 4 minutes to go still? Killed the game and meant we have a few minutes of celebrating stress free.

7400 at the game too, including a great away support.

When Aberdeen took the lead they looked comfortable, knocked the ball about well and we couldn't get near them.
The amount of times Aberdeen shot themselves in the foot though, partly down to the front 2 being a nuisance, partly due to their own fault and their finishing, meant it was our lucky day. Even with us taking 2 poor penalties.
Delighted with the home form. Great way to end the year, felt sorry for Goodwin tbh, he consolidated us into a tough team to beat, Robinson appears to be taking us up another notch. That didn't stop me signing you're getting sacked in the morning though.
Merry Christmas buddies and Dandies.

Weird seeing Unionists celebrating the face they have been denied the right to vote in favour of the Union in a fair and legal referendum.
Now they don't have a leg to stand on if Nicola finds a different loophole for independence.

Even as what could be described as a Kelly "hater" I find those first set of stats dubious.
Is there such a thing as a Kelly hater in the Motherwell support?
The c'nt turns into superman every time we play against the Well.

Could definitely see him kicking up at Killie more so than anyone else in the league for some reason.
Selfishly I'd rather a top end Championship signed him but if he's on big wages the only team mental enough to take on most of his wages would be Dundee. Killie just seems right, their back 3 played very well against us in Paisley right enough but can see him slotting in there.

Amazing news for Baccus.
First thing he needs though is 'rested' as he'll be walking on eggshells through the next two matches and who could blame him? Potentially once in a lifetime stuff.
We've got enough depth in midfield to allow for him to drop out for a couple of games. Imagine if the lad got hurt now!
Aye, Gogic switched to midfield surely. Everyone will understand if Baccus sits out the next 2 games, it has to happen.

Why would he want to enter the cesspit culture at that club?
No chance he would tbh. My original point was though, he isn't motivated by money.
The managerial positions should be attractive to a lot of managers tbh. Near enough a 50% chance of winning the league, facing teams with a tiny fraction of your budget most weeks, European football, 50k/60k home fans every other week, stepping stone into the English Premiership.
There's no excuse why the likes of Lennon, Gerrard, GVB can't produce exciting attacking football on a weekly basis. Should be thumping teams.
Rangers and Celtic should only be losing to each other.

It's the amount of space we give teams to basically do what the hell they want how he can't see that baffles me we make teams look better than they really are he goes on about the amount of goals we are losing.What does he expect to happen .As I say absolutely baffling.
It has worked at home though. We have let teams dominate possession all season.
It's always risky but it's costing us way from home more. Teams aren't even have to be playing well to score 3 past us. Which is concerning.

My concern , for Wednesday, is that Stephen Robinson adopts the attitude that he's sticking with his game plan no matter what. We've all seen that story before.
Surely a good coach adapts and reacts to what is happening on the pitch. Surely he tweaks his tactics and lineups dependent upon how both individuals and the team perform.
I'm not, for a moment, suggesting that the manager be replaced but might it not be prudent for him to assess each game on the basis of both the opposition and our own players recent performances .
Horses for courses , if you like.
The home form justifies him keeping it familiar when we play in Paisley, it's amazing how inept we are away from home with the same players.

Michael Beale will probably pass at this stage if he is already being approached for (and knocking back) premier league gigs.
If we could somehow tempt Bielsa, that would be an interesting choice, but I’m not sure we’d afford him.
I remember reading that Bielsa isn't swayed by cash. Its more do to with the city/culture/project. I'm not sure if any of them would be enough to attract them. If anyone is made for the Glasgow goldfish bowl it's him, sure there was a story about ultras showing up to his front door and he had a grenade in his hand
.
Would absolutely hate it if he ended up at Ibrox. The style of football would shred this league apart. Even Celtic.

Shaughnessy replaces Gogic. Gogic replaces Erhahon. Simples.
Just said that in our thread without reading this.
Looks like the Perth Saints have found their rhythm again.
This won't be easy or a pretty game for that matter.

As expected, he’s been in the Wolves first team squad all season and made his EPL debut yesterday. What a player.
Back to reality, massive game for us on Wednesday. If we don’t win it we will surely be going into the long World Cup break on a bad run.No doubt StJohnstone will beat us and we'll stick 4 past the zombies, they looked a sorry lot today. The Perth Saints look back to their usual solid ways and are now above us in the table.
I know he scored yesterday but O'Hara seems to be immune from any sort of criticism. Teams have clocked on to the way we play, when the ball doesn't stick to Ayunga/Main our game plan falls apart.
Definitely time to ring the changes. Gogic should start in midfield in place of Erhahon probably and Shaughnessy has to play.

Eh penalty?

We have been absolutely dreadful yet steal the lead right on half time. Hopefully we can re-group and put our stamp on the 2nd half.

Outstanding hit by Strain for the equaliser. Was Laidlaw slow to get across?
Got a hand to it, wasn't exactly in the top corner either. Good hit but if i was a County fan i'd feel let down by the keeper.

So CV sticks an elbow in the face of Nouble and gets away with it, we get a goal chopped off last week for far less in the build up to the goal. Makes sense.

He's entitled to go for that but that was a bit dirty.
Can't go Robertson when he plays for Liverpool. Kid on hard man, that was dangerous.
Anyway get it up the grief merchants. That was class from Leeds.

Just heard this stat on the radio, apparently Aberdeen have won just 3 of their last 28 away fixtures. I find that hard to believe but if true that puts out problems into perspective.
I think they only really won in Perth until they beat Motherwell last week.
It's like chalk and cheese with us though. We have restricted most teams in Paisley to limited chances this season, away from home our defence roll over and get their tummies tickled.

The away form is certainly a problem. Soundly pumped by StJ, Aberdeen, Rangers and Hibs on the road now. Three points from 15 available is just not good enough.
Thankfully, the excellent home form offsets that, and the fact we have still played more home than away bumps us up a bit higher than we probably should be.
Gogic is a midfielder and should absolutely not be playing in front of Joe at centre back.
Rotate him with Ethan and Mark? Fine. Play Joe at centre back.Definitely a problem. It's bizarre, we set up the same at home and it has worked brilliant.
He will definitely need to change things for Dingwall next week.
If we keep up our home form we will avoid relegation easily enough, the odd win and certain draws away from home props you up into the European positions.

Absolute pumping. Not good enough today

Not everyone will be paying customers, obviously the club give out tickets to local schools ect but there is a difference between that and folk actually turning up. We've done it in the past and you wouldn't know the difference, we are certainly seeing it now.
These kids are turning up and really enjoying what they are seeing. Hopefully some will come back as paying customers, maybe even convert from Rangers or Celtic, as most school kids in the area will support either of the gruesome twosome without getting to see them play live.
It's brilliant. Also puts to bed the soulless lego stadium argument. Place has been rocking all season.
