2-2

2 even teams on the day scored 2 goals each. Fair

Seems about right.

Definitely appears to be a double touch.

The foot is opened up for the ball to go the way the keeper dives and ends up going right down the middle.

Goalies off his line anyway. Goal stands.

Agreed. Not a massive conspiracy against St Mirren

Felt like a defeat, just like the Hearts game at the end of last season. 

Our own fault for not finishing them off but not the worst it could have been. 

[Melanius Mullarkey]

For what it’s worth I thought St Mirren played some nice soccer today and I’d personally like to wish them all the very best for the rest of the season.

Dons players in the box before pen was taken but shit happen.

Seething mess etc.

Personally, I thought Richard Taylor was the man of the match.

Hemming was poor for the Aberdeen opened. He has to come and get something on the ball there.

Our penalty was a stonewaller. It is very annoying how long VAR takes to check these.

I absolutely love the fact Motherwell fans think Mika Mandron is a diddy. He’s been excellent for us. I suppose that’s the benefit if having a good manager.

The Aberdeen pen, like ours, was also a stonewaller.

Aberdeen were rank throughout and will no doubt be delighted and sneaking a point from a game they deserved nothing from.

Dons fans, has that been the theme of the season or more likely down to the midweek European fixtures? Most of your big players just weren’t at the races. In the handful of games I’ve seen of him, that’s the worst I’ve seen Miovski looking.

And that’s what’s so funny 

Yup. If we went up to Pittodrie and were complete shite, but waltzed away with an undeserved point, I’d certainly find it funny. Sore one to take, but over the next few days we’ll reflect on the fact that a draw against one of Scotland’s bigger clubs feels like a defeat. Get a result at Livvy next week and everything seems great again.

Enjoy your last gasp point.

Congratulations on completely ignoring the point I made.

You can lecture on expectations when you stop exaggerating that your team will lose every game eleventy-nil.

We'd lost 4-0 to Stirling, been played off the park by County needing multiple 1 on 1 stops to avoid them scoring 5/6, havent even drawn with Celtic for years and were away to Parkhead to play them after theyd suffered a loss.

I didnt expect us to be able to change half the team before the game came around.

Ok i believe you 

St Mirrens best side ever failing to beat Aberdeen at home (whilst playing as badly as we can) is a good result for St Mirren

Gotcha

I've lost count of the number of teams that put in their worst performance ever / of the season in Paisley over the last year or so. How can this be, must be something in the atmosphere that turns opposition players to utter dross the minute they take to the SMISA pitch.  Very mysterious,  or maybe just maybe they were playing against a very decent team. As for the likes or Random dipping in here, come back when the Fakes get to 7 points, we might see you in that case in about late October.

As is a St Mirren player. Again, cancelled out - goal stands.

[glenburn bud]

We’ve got a right good side this season, I was very impressed with how we completely dominated that game. 
It was a travesty that we didn’t get the win our performance deserved.

An even bigger travesty was the 3 incompetent match officials and the fucken wanks on VAR duties.

We could play all season and not be that unlucky again.

Baccus on his game is absolutely unreal, he’s levels above this league.

[Dons_1988]

Other than the debate around the pen I’m genuinely not sure where the massive refereeing injustice was?

This is what i meant.

Boasting about points tallies in August.

Youll be sitting in May absolutely delighted at another 6th placed finish and nothing else achieved as if its incredible.

The Dons fans will be skulking up the road happy they got their wee point full in the knowledge they were OUTCLASSED today by a team that should have won easily but for the utter incompetence of the officials.

Or as the rules state, retaken?

I personally thought his distribution was poor again today. I'd drop him for O'hara once he is fit.

Interested to see what punishment St Mirren face for listing an ineligible player in their squad.

I was wondering that myself when I saw Small was on the bench

For me, it looked like a definite foul on Tanser just seconds before he awards Aberdeen the freekick that they go and score from.

In real time, it certainly looked a foul and should have been a free kick to us.

Doesn’t negate out piss poor defending and horror goalkeeping though.

[kingjoey]

That was utter nonsense from us from start to finish. I haven't read any of the match comments on here yet, but St Mirren have only themselves to blame for not skooshing that three points. We will never play worse for the whole match ever again.
