Do I like it ? No. Old firm make Scottish football uncompetitive due to the £ sign. Saints avarage salary 50 grand. Rangers goes into the hundreds of thousands. Even Aberdeen cant come close to paying such salaries. Unfortunately it is what it is in Scotland, two big clubs so far out in front of every other club in the country. Is it a good thing ? Of course not but how do you get local people to be proud where they grew up and support the local team. That's what it is to me as a Paisley Buddie. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguable penalty shout that would have been given at the other end, but can't see that made any difference to the result. I love Goodwin but he will never send us out to win these games. I just hope we're more positive across the piece in other fixtures this season, or I fear that's what's going to undermine his time with us. Yeah, he needs to try something a bit different in these games now. It nearly worked against rangers a couple of times last season, especially the home game where Morais missed the sitter at the end, but we invite too much pressure. Even if we defend well and the keeper plays well it's too susceptible to deflections and the like because we never get out and force the issue higher up the pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the Hamilton game, I want to see McGrath much, much closer to Obika, and Durmus and whoever's on the right pushing on much more. With that defence, and with McPherson and Foley behind, there's no reason we can't play with more attacking intent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By then we will hopefully have another attacker in as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alnwick was the difference between 3-0 and a cricket score. How many opportunities do you want? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One way traffic aye, but cricket score nah. Most of his saves ( about 5 or 6 of any note) were comfortable. I'd say we more than help gift the 3 goals yous did get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby_F Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Hard to know what, if anything, that game says about this Saints team. Thought defence looked solid against Livvy, but Rangers were always going to be a different proposition, and cut us open too easily too many times. Alnwick had another solid game though, and one of my biggest worries this year was replacing Hladky. Definitely need other striking options. Looking forward to Thursday, and no more games agains the Rich Kids for a couple of months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just felt we still seem a bit laboured when trying to create chances from open play. Decision making and side to side passes takes away from us being more effective. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I would need to see it again, but at the time I thought it wasn't in the box, close but not in it. That said, I also believe that if it happened at the other end, Dallas would be pointing direct to the spot without hesitation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCarthy actually thrust his right leg back to make the contact, but it was inside the box. I'd have been gutted to see that given against us. But if some Rangers player launching himself forward to land in the box 18 months ago was a penalty, then this fucking was as well.

Can't say about the official stream but I watched it through IPTV and it was flawless, no buffering whatsoever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
