I wish we had done more of this shithousery at Ibrox last week when we got to 2-2. In fairness, I think the only player shithousing it from us on Saturday was Walker at goal kicks. Everyone else was genuinely hurt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of stoppages in play for “play acting” and multiple substitutes bores me shitless at times. Well done on your victory.

Molotov Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) I was in the main stand yesterday and had a very clear view of Baccus getting thrown to the ground in a head lock by one of the Kilmarnock players after the second goal which was quite bizarre. At the time I was actually surprised he was not cautioned or even sent off as it was right in front of the 4th official. Did Sportscene show that incident?

Games between us usually see the form book thrown out of the window. Could go either way. Well, well, there you go. The hoodoo distinguished just like that. As controlled and dominant a performance as we could have hoped for. That sending off though . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted April 23, 2023 Author Share Posted April 23, 2023 My favourite part of the game yesterday (a low bar, granted) was seeing Ash Taylor down and clearly fucked with cramp and both teams deciding to play around him. There was no real expectation to stick the ball out from either side - even when Killie regained possession, Alan Power was away forward with it. Power is one of those players I had no real love for in a Saints shirt. Loads of folk thought he was our best player in the first half of last season but I just wasn't seeing it. A guy who was reckless, his tackling wasn't great and his range of passing was poor but our supporters loved him. Yesterday though was more like the Alan Power I remember at Killie first time around and the Power I hoped we were getting. He was superb. Oh and top trolling bringing on Brad Lyons. Boy is one of the worst Saints midfielders I remember in the past 5 years so it raised a chuckle when I saw how comfortable Killie were to send him on for 20 mins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW saint Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 2 hours ago, Coventry Saint said: Power was playing like he had a point to prove yesterday. It's no secret he was one of the players that was told he didn't have a future at the club pretty much as soon as Robinson came in last season. Fair play to him for putting in a shift like that at his age. Power strolled through the game but that was down to our midfield just not getting stuck in. Gogic was supposed to be playing a similar role to Power but he was way off it yesterday. Did anyone else notice Armstrong constantly nipping in the ear of Small. He was winding him up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armstrong does stuff like that all the time. He’s a wee dick, but it works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they didn't even show the freekick right on the edge of the box. I was wanting to see just how close it was to being a pen. Not sure why they didn't show that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to him for putting in a shift like that at his age. Power was immense yesterday, and you could see how much the game meant to him. Even with Killie 2-0 up and Saints down to 10 men, a decision went against him and he started screaming at Collum and throwing his arms about in a very visible rage. On the match, Saints played the wrong game from the start in those conditions; and I think Armstrong's reputation scared our defenders witless. His ability to ghost past players who get too close is superb; and we sat off him because of that - leading to him getting too much time to pick crosses. Anyway, disappointing as yesterday was, top 6 is done. Next game in 2 weeks, and we're in a 5 game head to head with Hibs where we need to take one more point than them to (hopefully) secure European football for first time in 36 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vassell and McKenzie both had to go off with their injuries, and Watson and Taylor were very clearly injuried and would have been subbed as well if we hadn't used all our opportunities by the time they picked up their knocks. Taylor in particular was hobbling around from the moment he came back on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're making a sub anyway, the guy that's being subbed sits on the deck and gets treatment to eat up a bit more time. Killie were actually wasting time from kick off, which surprised me. Made me think you'd have been happy with a point before KO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The injuries to Vassell and McKenzie were both within about five minutes of our first sub, do you genuinely believe any manager would choose to make three seperate subs in the space of five minutes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I don’t think Killie particularly ripped the pish with any timewasting tactics. They were solid, better organised, and handled the strong wind far better than us. Collum also had a decent game and kept his neb’ out of proceedings. Most unlike the bold Willie. Nope, soundly beaten fair and square. Never turned up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did indeed. I’m not saying we don’t time waste. Was just pointing out the naïveté in not understanding the ‘subbed player feigning injury’ tactic or the ‘stagger your subs’ tactic. I’m sure Aberdeen fans won’t really think their GOALKEEPER getting cramp, or the 7 guys that have needed treatment so far this half was anything other than ‘game management’. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams usually wait until the final 10 minutes to do it though, tbf. Not using every sub up 20 minutes from the end of the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
