Dundee V St Mirren.

Are you asking what was d total? -
Dundee V St Mirren.
Coventry Saint replied to johnnydun's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Yeah, as much as Dundee knocked it around neatly to carve out the chance, we absolutely handed it to them on a plate. Massively frustrating passage of play; it was actually fairly brainless from quite a few of our players. Dundee were better overall, so I'm happy enough with the point. Murray is going to be a great signing for them. I did drop 15 quid on Olusanya to get booked when the ref did the 'pointing round the park at all his fouls' thing, so I'm f**king livid that he actually calmed it down after that. -

Aye, Sportsound was an absolute joke. My stream turned into CBM being subbed off on a permanent loop. -
Well done to the club for getting this done. He might not turn out to be a success, and we didn't necessarily have massive competition for his signature as @capt_oats and @RandomGuy. reasonably pointed out. But we identified him as our main target, and have signed a guy that was scoring goals for fun at this level 18 months ago. He is also demonstrably out of our reach, budget-wise, and it clearly hasn't been an easy deal to get over the line. So the club deserves credit for getting it done, and for backing Robinson. There aren't many strikers out there, as we've seen from activity across the league. He might not even arrive match fit, but it's not like we have zero strikers in the meantime. Most of our toils this season have been because of injuries elsewhere in the team. It's well-worn but if we can get those big five players back fit (Kiltie, CBM, MOH, McMenamin and Adeniran) and then add KVV to that, I am very optimistic about the rest of the season.

So he'll probably just score two today. -

Well, we hounded Aberdeen last season, taking 9 points from 9 against them*. So it was disappointing to see even a fatigued Saints side struggle at Pittodrie. Obviously three points at home to perennial strugglers Hibs was a given. So to answer your question... Yeah, three points is about right, but as DJC has said, there's just been something not quite right about the performances. There's a feeling that we could be there for the taking for a side like yours if we don't get our heads sorted, and get injured players back soon. * Statistically adjusted for acknowledged VAR f**k-ups. -
Just saw that lad Liam Smith who has signed for Thistle from Swansea. His career path sums up the way the system is broken for clubs of our size and players of a certain age. Nobody will convince me that this kid wouldn't have been better off (except perhaps financially) staying with Killie. As @djchapsticks has been explaining, this is just the way of things now and it's a bit shit but can't see it changing any time soon.

It's fine. I reckon we can be friends this time. -
Real talk, I'm the same and I think a lot of people are. It's almost certainly a reflection of general mental health. You can see it with even more extreme/binary responses to football on social media. I remember I was struggling with stuff in 2016-17 and it made our relegation struggle that season really difficult to deal with.
