The only people who'll be happy about it are the same people who'll be going regardless. I anticipate it's extremely unlikely to change the mind of those who've said they're not going because of it.

Got on the bus to go home last night and the driver was told by the police that they were worried about Aberdeen fans attacking the bus with rocks after previous incidents. Wtf is wrong with people. We were then directed the long way out of the area

Tommy Wright wasn't exactly an an attacking manager but he tried to win games. Especially at home. Yes he's often gone away from home and played some pragmatic stuff as well but we often still looked like we were in those games and when being pragmatic we actually looked likely to keep a clean sheet. He'd also not ask players to do things they're not capable of ie, Gordon being responsible for building out from the back from every goal kick. The game at home to United after that first half we would have seen pro active changes rather than just panic changes after we're behind.

If they just stopped punting it 50 yards up to the likes of Carey, Murphy or May to compete for in the air that would be a good start

Honestly sounds like my worst nightmare. Not sure the Browns would be interested though if they're basket case type owners. Been some suggestion they're keen to only sell locally. Not something I can say I know is true though

Not seen it back but Saints had a few half chances. May header in the first half in particular at the time I thought he should have scored. Went closish in the second half with what would have been an own goal. That was about the only two chances that were actually close from memory though!

They're sleep walking themselves into right mess. Dropping like a stone in the league again and completely ruining the relationship with the fans (making it worse by silence on the subject since and all accounts are about to come out with some iffy excuses for it) If they now do end up going down as it's not completely out the question playing like that especially via the playoff many of the fans they've given the to won't renew the season ticket and they'll soon be in big trouble. That wee bit of cash they got from Rangers fans won't seem so great after all.

He seems to glaze over we couldn't get out our own half in the first half and Aberdeen had 3-4 brilliant chances in the first half. We weren't still in the game due to his system or the team playing well. Luck.

Davidson described that today as "pretty good". ...... .....

Let's just stick to being miserable to watch and the fans wittle away to do something else on a Saturday instead because they're fed up of watching that. There's no character or entertainment factor at all. As that's exactly what I'm contemplating. No longer attending games outside my already paid for season ticket.

If you criticise the club you're a moaner. "2 cups" "we've improved since last season" etc etc I was starting to lose the plot towards the end there and I was getting quite a few funny looks from a few older fans. Lost count of how many chances we gave away from punts right down the middle as well?!

Don't worry though lads. There will be a contract extension to announce Monday morning to try and distract everyone. Montgomery extension the prime candidate. Even better yet a loanee from Millwall.

Liam Gordon being susceptible to making an arse of it isn't new unfortunately. He's exempt the most part from any criticism because he's "one of our own" though. Exempt from dropping as well it seems. They persisted with him on the park for most of the second half despite clearly being injured as well.

He was hoping to "keep it tight". Steal a 1-0. Problem is, we can't defend. We also can't play out deep either so can't get out when playing like that. Aberdeen obviously a better side etc etc but they were struggling and we turned up like if was Celtic or something. Surely the players hate it as well? Likes of Murphy and Carey spending most of their time scrapping for second balls.

Looking forward to another relegation battle? There's no way it's even being considered to remove him. The decision makers don't care the team are miserably depressing.

Why did they persist with Gordon for so long despite being injured the whole second half. Looked very much at fault for that goal.

I can accept a bit of negativity but we've got absolutely no clue or ability to play out. We're just a defence giving the ball back to Aberdeen

Shite from Saints. Matthews probably has to save that also.

Another awful example of an online ticket system for this game. Was it Saints or Aberdeen's idea to do it this way? Online ticket sales with no e ticket that need collected in person after bought online. They could have been posted out but concerns with postal strikes caused that. No ability to buy tickets after 4 o'clock yesterday. As there's no match day sales or patg. Why are clubs making it so difficult. Is it on purpose?

You couldn't be more spot on. I won't be going. I'll be spending my £30 in the boozer boycotting it.

@Rorschach I won't/can't possibly comment on the stuff you're saying as I don't know anymore than anyone else. Some could be spot on. I'm just here speculating like football fans love to do. My frustration was partly about the decision but also the manner of it. Let's say some of the things you've said are true, why don't/didn't the club say those things publicly. They could do so in a manner that doesn't noise up the police/Rangers/SFA etc. Instead they've said nothing in detail at all and just given the fans the impression it's a big f**k you to them. That club through my choice get a considerable amount of my income every year, year in year out. If they want others to continue doing that then the acknowledgement of the fans needs to be better. (You can tell I feel quite strongly about this ) Many of us can afford the one off £30 but I know many can't and football (and our club) is for everyone not just those with no children. I just want it to be as accessable as possible for as many as possible. In life, were currently seeing strikes left right and centre to resolve disputes around pay, mistreatment of employees, poor working conditions, employers trying to reduce benefits etc. If you're unhappy about something, regardless you've got to take action to get something done. Regardless who's to blame, the club, SFA or all of them. If you hit the club & SFA where it hurts..... You just might see them learning their lesson. That's one thing that shouldn't be forgotten in all of this. The SFA will be very pleased about this arrangement as they take a good chunk of the money raised from the game I believe. My feelings are fairly simple, if the club isn't willing to go public with their reasoning I'm unwilling to believe them. I don't want a secret phone call or a personal explanation. I just want our fans to be given the respectable explanation they're entitled to. ----- If the tv companies can overrule the police then we've definitely got a bigger problem.

I wait in hope a response will come. Even if it's, okay we hear the feedback as there's probably not much they can do about it now that it's done. But yeah you're right. If you break that emotional connection people, especially after decisions like this fans will drift away and pick and choose when they come along. Also, for those with families or people who are potentially still in education. These prices are utterly unaffordable.

They plowed ahead. I can be quite critical at the best of times but there seems to be a massive disconnect between what the club claim they want to be to be in terms of a community club versus how they actually behave. It's not the club doing the great stuff that the St Johnstone in the community are doing (they really do seem to care) Am I the only one questioning some of the gestures done by the club. Things like visiting elderly or struggling fans during covid for example. Were those things happening because they genuinely care or because they seen is as the perfect opportunity for some good PR? You don't take action like they have in this instance if there was real held respect for the fans. Does seem like we're looked upon as a means to generate income above all else.

You know what makes it funnier. Sinclair would be suspended too He was sent off in Montrose's last game
