    Katie Bear reacted to party politics in Rangers v St Mirren, Sun 16th Aug   
    Only caught some of the game on a dodgy stream so unfair to comment in any great detail. Our manager wants to change our style of play dramatically from last season, but imo it was naïve to stick with this formation at Ibrox. I am all for trying to be a lot more expansive in the way we try and play, but to do this against a team away from home that badly needed a result, we played right into their hands.
    It is all very well our youth teams playing this way successfully against the bigger teams at their age level, but these teams are far more evenly matched in relation to finance and experience.
    We also simply don't have the quality of player available at the current time to play this way. At lease two of the back four yesterday are simply not good enough to play the style of football the manager wants to implement, this goes for yesterday and in the future.

    Only time it's retaken after a goal is when attacking team has encroached.
    One of our own players must have stupidly decided to step into the box.

    ...or seemingly when John Beaton decides after 5 minutes of organising players to his satisfaction that he hasn't blown his wee whistle. FFS!

    This is gonna be about 6 today

    IF we are lucky!

    This constant fannying about passing between players who just are not capable of playing this way is going to cost us so many goals.

    Another interview to slash your wrists to by our manager and they are only going to get worse.
    Don't blame him, Do blame the Chair, board and CEO for giving him the job when it seemed clear to everyone he was FAR too inexperienced for the job.
    Boys fitba to SPL manager in one move!!! I mean really?????

    Instead of SMISA wasting their time on nonsense like this they should be asking what the hell is going on at our football club?
    This from an organisation who decided to spend SEVEN GRAND on a replica league cup. Absolute Amateurs.
    There is no VAR in the Championship or league One so we will not have much longer to deal with it.

    Watching what has happened its IMPOSSIBLE to think anything else.
    Honestly. We are in for nightmare season. Feel sorry for the people who forked out big money for season tickets to be served up sub standard appointments on and off the park.
    Apart from Gogic, Phillips and John not a single player of SPL standard. Chairman and CEO responsible for what is going to be an absolute shit show!

    The only surprise is that anyone is surprised.
    A manager already proven to be MILES out his depth, a squad that is at best mid championship and run by the useless amateurs at SMISA and a Charity who couldnt care less about St Mirren.
    I don't get why most of you can't see this. Relegated by Christmas.

    Let's face it we made our bed early June when we appointed McLeish.
    It's a Wilfred Nancy appointment and one that will end in exactly the same result.

    I'm sure he's a nice guy but we're seeing imposter syndrome from someone who can't believe his luck to be given the position
    and has absolutely no authority to demand the players that we so badly need.
    He's going to keep sending players out to play around their own box and we're going to see some awful mistakes and some heavy
    defeats over the next few months.

    I guess all we can do is keep turning up and keep backing the players until those who make the decisions recognise what many of their club's fans all know.

    Let’s be honest though, conceding 3 at home to a lower league team isn’t great.

    I mean - we recovered it and edged it - but we look a mile of competing at Prem level. I hope I’m wrong - genuinely do!

    Doesn't matter about the perception of what it is by some. It's european footy and quite possibly for us! Shouldn't be any better motivation for our players to push on and get that 5th spot imo. Roll on saturday👍

    This.
    He clearly got there first. The County player has poked his foot at it but it's impossible to tell from the one angle the have from behind play how much contact his hip has into Quaner's side as he stretched to win the ball first. 
    It is soft but most likely there's enough of a shunt while his weight was shifting across to throw him off balance.

    There was an even more obvious stonewaller of a penalty in the 69th minute when a defender wipes out McPherson as a cross comes in. No attempt to get the ball!

    Was out yesterday so only just got round to watching the whole game off Alba.
    Unless I missed it, I can’t believe no one mentioned the nailed on penalty on Shaughnessy in the first half. Absolute stonewaller.
    I definitely feel less lucky about the soft penalty we did get having seen that.

    I agree with this. I read a lot of the comments on here before seeing the incident. I was expecting to see a Michael Owen effort from Quaner but it was far from that. If that happened outside the box, it is a free kick and no-one bats an eyelid. Inside the box it's a "soft' penalty that could have gone either way. Definitely not a dive though.

    Your a grade 1 cock so anything you say is ignored. Naismith is nowhere near the level of Fraser.

    There appears to be not a single player in Goodwins squad you rate and every team worse than us is full of players better than ours. How can we be where we are in this scenario ?

    I can’t believe some of the comments on here. I mean folk saying they’d take county’s right back over ours and we’re not sixth on merit. Look we were not great and haven’t been for past three weeks but we’d have lost these games in the last. The mentality is changing and the back line are driving it - well done to them and Marcus Fraser should be offered a new improved deal ASAP. Outstanding of late particularly at Aberdeen . I wouldn’t want Watson, Naismith or Andreu back - we’ve got better and we are A better Team than them . Well done saints today a close nervy game but you dug in there and got a vital win . COYS
