Didn't catch all of the match yesterday.
What was Bolton subbed for?
Was it his hand injury recurring?
No. It looked it at first like it might have been his hand but appeared to have been a hamstring or quad issue from what I could see.
He'll be a big miss if hes out for a period but Taylor proved again in his 70 or so mins why he is more than capable to be a first choice.

Looking at the remaining pre split fixtures, there’s now a more than reasonably chance we will blow top 6.
No there isn't.
We are 1/80 at this point on Bet365 to finish top six for a reason.

Cargill's entire package, the music, the entrance, the costume, the look just screams 'megastar'.
She's going to be absolutely massive. Whatever the 'it' factor is, she has it in buckets.

For the first time in ages St Kidding have had larger attendances. Once you stop spunking money you will be back where you belong.
Is that really 1000 points behind. At your average points total that would take 100 years and then some to even catch up.
For a team that are supposed to be similar you are actually a pale shadow. An irrelevance even.
You really have been broken ever since that Covid game a few years back that got called off as a 3-0 win for Motherwell and then overturned.
Fair play though, your presence on these threads is always a genuine highlight as it's cracking point and laugh material. Glad to see you here with all time league tables and juicy patter like 'St. Kidding'.
Keep up the good work x

So 2 of your back 3 are Bolton and Taylor. Who misses out, Gogic or Fraser?
Fraser. 100% .
He's chronic at left side of a back 3.

I want Rock to stay forever. He's so fucking good in this role.

Only found out the other day that Ryan Strain's granda played for us. Another in the St Mirrenwell column
Before, surprise surprise, signing for us.
Gerry Baker is one of the biggest St. Mirren legends of the 50s/60s. Scored the clinching 3rd goal in our 1959 SC win.
I don't mind getting players off Motherwell who can do a decent turn for us - it's a far cry from the days of Andy Dow, Jim Gardner, Stuart Carswell and Kevin Twaddle.
In fact, in my formative years, the only players I recall getting from Motherwell who actually did us a turn were the excellent (but often injured) Ian Ross and the good (but always injured) Jamie McGowan.

I'm looking at the bench like 'That boy on the NI bench looks like our assistant manager'
Because it is, forgot all about that.

Why is Tierney being booed by the away fans?
Aren't we led to believe that Scotland fans pick on Scotland players based on the club they play for? Surely a fanbase lamenting this practice wouldn't be booing a player for the club he used to play for...

Some of the most virgin behaviour you're likely to see.

Morgan, respectfully, made a relatively small number of appearances (14 in the league, 31 in total 11 of which were starts) and was all over the place on loan whereas Turnbull established himself as a first team regular (100 league appearances, 134 in total 82 of which were starts) before his time at the club tapered off - particularly after it became clear there was no chance he was signing the extension he'd been offered.
He only really had one loan. He loan to us was basically us getting him back for the remainder of his contract rather than seeing it out and leaving at end of that season.
His only real loan move, as pointed out, was a short spell at Sunderland.

Yeah bit of a rid neck that, an OF club showing up at your ground and putting their badge all over the shop .....
It's a red neck and a half.
It was for us too in the 2 hours the sign went up 10 years ago before we instructed it to be removed.
Slapping a Rangers badge right there over the Hearts badge is just as bad, possibly worse.

A few days late to the party here, but I really wanted to saunter on here and be a right cocky dick - but in fairness, most of the saints fans have been pretty sound about it, so I won’t bother.
Absolutely love this team, as we just never give up. Truly terrible first half, but one of the best second half’s I’ve ever seen.
Hope St Mirren finish 5th and get a wee euro jaunt as well. Good lads imo.
Exactly, no complaints on whataboutery here.
In a way, I actually prefer us having a shite inexplicable brain fart to losing our to stupid refereeing decisions as that least what happened on Saturday is within our control to fix.
People can talk about how easy goals 4 and 5 were but the two goals that got Killie back on terms were really annoying as well.
I thought at the time that there was a foul in the build up to Killie's first and was confident it would be chalked off but on seeing the highlights, two players go for the ball...our player waits in anticipation, Killie's player though decides he's winning it and wants it more, absolutely nothing wrong with it and taking my St. Mirren head off, it's nice to see that VAR decided there was nothing in it as that was correct... these ones are always at risk from a pernickety VAR official.
Then for the penalty, the annoying thing is that Flynn just putting pressure on Watkins meant he took a heavy touch and that would have been enough as he had knocked it out for a goal kick. He didn't need to launch into him whatsoever. He did the exact same thing against Hearts last season in a crucial game with a player running away from goal in the 93rd minute and cost us two points then as well. Flynn looks OK in early stages of games but certainly doesn't have the legs for even an hour of football now.

Think this is the difference. We don't publicly demand from the players. The Dundee away and today were shockers. I don't think O'Hara and CBM work together. Its one or the other with Kwon or Baccus.
We got bullied and out fought second half. As for Flynn at fault for 2 of the goals. He is done. Why not play Brown from the start.
Its a pity we have a break now as we need this game out our system
Flynn and Dunne are far weaker options than Taylor and Brown and I think almost everyone of a St. Mirren persuasion is of this opinion.
The defence today scared me on paper and it absolutely proved true in the second half.

There was huge pressure on Armstrong to put that pen away though, especially after a long VAR delay...if he misses that, St.Mirren might well have seen it out for 2-1, but the momentum of the game totally changed from there.
No chance. There was still 25 mins left and our heads had completely gone at that point. Kilmarnock were cutting through us at will and would have carved plenty more out. The warning signs had been there in first 15 mins of the 2nd half.
Today was just one of those unexplainable things and regardless of Killie's improvement, there is no real reason for our performance, which was bery good in the first half to fall so dramatically off a cliff. We should still have had more than enough to go toe to toe with Kilmarnock and we simply didn't, especially with a bench of very decent quality.
Not only losing but being absolutely hammered from that position is something we need to not let get to us. We're still in the position that we *should* have Killie again before the season end and we need to rectify today if we do.

Can't wait for the @elvis positive spin on this result.
You'll be waiting. He was emptied weeks ago for being a racist c**t.

Still struggling to get my head around how inexplicable thst was today.
We were miles on top in the first half and we've been superb at defending leads all season... the old cry of 'right, nothing stupid' went out the window and then some as the players appeared to have swapped the boots onto their other feet for the second half.
Fair play to Kilmarnock. They smelled blood in the water at the point where Gogic made an arse of a passback (again) early in the second half and got away with it and at that point knew they didn't have to do anything fancy to get at us, just play right through the middle.
We absolutely folded on a spectacular scale, every time Killie came forward they looked like scoring and for one torturous spell, were doing exactly that.
We need to lift it and quickly. We played a get out of jail card against Aberdeen and today was a huge step backwards.
Also, Dunne and Flynn should be thanked for their services and this should be the end of their tenures in St. Mirren shirts. I'd not be up nor down if that was the case for Marcus Fraser either

Was saying at 1-0 that we could really do with a second before half time because one wouldn't be enough to get us through the second half.
If we'd added a 3rd and 4th we'd have been fine.
Wait...shit.

I dont think McMenamin is deserving of the stick.
Neither do I think he was bad when he came on yesterday aside from a couple of poor crosses. He played folk in on 3 occasions and all three dilly dallied on the ball.
