    Come on Saints (and whoever is playing Dundee).

    Had a look that.  Only two lines about 5th:

     

    ”Whoever secures fifth at the end of the season will go into Conference League qualifying at round two.”

    Looked up, and we’d need to win 3 ties to get into the group stages.

    Finishing 4th makes things so much easier.  Even if you lose your first game, you go straight to Conference League play off.

    Such a shame that we had such a bad run.  That second half at Rugby Park - ouch!

    Motherwells top flight run is one of the most impressive, and under rated, achievements in Scottish football IMO.

    I do find it a bit odd either Dundee side is put above them in "biggest club" rankings tbh.

    Were they not saved by the 10,000 seater rule at one point?

    Or something similar?

    Did they cleverly go into administration at a time when there were no points deductions either?

    That IS impressive!

    Whilst we have dropped some points against Livi etc it cant also be ignored the decisions that went against us when they were clear cut. The game at Dingwall for example with the clear handball. 

    Football can be fine margins but you need luck too. 

     

    Last minute penalty away to Hearts not given at 1-0 down.

    82nd minute penalty home to Hearts not given at 2-1 down.

    3 goals chopped off against Hearts in 1-0 home win.

    That's 2 points and +5 goal difference - and that's all just against one team 😄!

    Frustrating as those things were, the only decision that has categorically changed a result was the double kick Aberdeen penalty that absolutely cost us 2 points earlier in the season.  

    Will be very hard to take if we miss out on Europe if we miss out by 2 points.

  4. Played pretty well in the first half.

    Celtic always going to come out like that in second half, and needed to keep it at 0-0 for as long as poss, but think losing Tanser hurt us, with Celtic's first two goals coming down that side.

    Was absolutely hilarious watching Celtic get so many soft fouls, and listening to Grant and his mate thinking the refs were out to get them.

    The calls for red cards for Strain and Gogic were bonkers.

    Ayunga's recently signed a new deal and Mandron is our top scorer with double figures but aye, they'll go out on loan. 👍

    We have to start Mbappe every week, with Haaland and/or Kane as his partner.

    So I think there’ll be limited game time for Ayunga and Mandron, so makes sense for one or both to go out on loan…. To Barcelona  probably.

    He is the first forward we have had in years that if he gets a 1-on-1 with the keeper I'm reasonably confident he is going to score. One of the best in that situation we have had.

    Absolutely!

    Miles better than, for example, that guy Olusanya we singed in 2022.

    Whatever happened to him?

    (All joking aside, incredible work from both the coaching staff and the player himself to make this transformation!)
