    Saints fans getting overly worried about this one clearly haven't seen enough of our "defending" this season.

    There's a good reason why our GD looks like some sort of temperature reading from Severnaya Zemlya.

     

    In two games against you so far we haven’t scored a goal. So your ‘defending’ seems to be adequate against this season. 
    A full house getting right behind the team from the start should hopefully be enough to get off to a good start.

    Yeah, im very much bored of this "look at how great we are" pish thats spouted all over this site about everything whenever St Mirren are doing well, so we'll notch this one down as tl;dr and not speak of it again.

    I’m a St Mirren fan and I’m feeling the same, still a lot of questions around the club despite being in a good position in the league. 
    Why bother with the highs when you can stay low all the time!

    Top six not a given yet and while arithmetically safe we still feel the need to post in the relegation thread.

    Unfortunately for all of us who are regulars on the St. Mirren thread, it's not a fishing trip. ☹️

    Yup if he says something the opposite is usually true, unfortunate as I think he may be a good guy but just either over excited, believes everything he reads or just jumps all in. 
     

    I wouldn’t pay too much attention

    I stand by my initial assessment that Gogic is fouled in the build up to the penalty and the outcome should have been our free kick 30 yars from our goal. It happens 6 or 7 seconds before the handball and in the same passage of play.

    Once again, VAR doesn't appear to be interested in looking back any further than the incident itself. Ref confirmed to SR that this wasn't picked up on or looked at.

    Yep they will look to see if someone is a baw hair offside in the build up to a pen but not if the ball was won by fouling.
    That is just wrong and we got hit with this again earlier this season ( united?) where the player handled the ball before crossing it and then the subsequent shot hit tanser. Result check the tanser handball but not the initial one.

    Absolutely!

    When we won the cup in ‘87 I couldn’t help thinking that Billy played in far superior Saints teams that never even got to a domestic final. 

    At least that replay we were not cheated as we were against Rangers in the League cup semi 2nd leg at Ibrox and the Scottish Cup semi at Hampden. 

    Let’s not underestimate the strength of that Aberdeen team under Fergie. 
    A year later they would win the ECWC in Gothenburg.

    I felt we were the better team in the first game at Parkhead which was hardly a classic encounter.

    Look at the players on show in both teams and compare with the players on show today. 

     

     

     

     

    I was at the parkhead game but not the replay, we undoubtedly deserved to win the first game. 
     

    I think it is remarkable when you look at the size of the crowds, I’m confident an Aberdeen Saints cup semi would get a bigger crowd these days even with live tv.

    He made 284 appearances between 1976-84 and had 76 clean sheets, keeper for the Anglo Scottish cup and had 7 caps for Scotland, the first keeper I remember playing. RIP Billy and thank you. 

    Same here, player for us at a time when European football was a realistic aim if not an expectation. 
    Shocked at the news but glad to have been able to see him play for us. 
    RIP Billy

    Not going to lie, I'm still looking at our 33 points and my first instinct is that we need another six to make sure for definite that we don't finish in the bottom two.

    It's impossible not to be like that. It's conditioned in at this point.

    Safe by the split, whether that meant top or bottom six was always my primary ambition and I don’t think we have ever achieved it, apart from the shortened 19/20 season.
