I am ****ed off, most of us are ****ed off. Not because we are losing;( hey, we are St.Johnstone, we have been losing games for years.) No no, I am ****ed of because  we dinnae look like we are gonna win. I hear that we were " unlucky" all the time. That it's injuries that are costing us. Individual errors, poor refereeing....the list goes on and on  and yet  here we are on Wednesday and I am already looking forward to heading up the road to sheepsville to " support" ma team..our team  There are a few things I would like to see..I would like to see attacking football. I would like to see crisp passing, incisive movement. I'd like to see a positive line up, with positive tactics.. I am positive about this.

Last time we went up there we horsed them 5-1. I would suspect that even Mr Saints tinted glasses himself would not be thinking this will happen this time round.. Oh no, the likelyhood is we will get beat, I am ready  for defeat (if it comes) but I want to see us give ourselves a ****ing chance of winning. I don't want to see us try and hold on  for a 0-0 ( we cannae dae that anyway can we??)

 Mon tae **** Mr Manager, lets give the Dons a minimum of respect, lets go bust a gut and lets  not only win, but win  by playing attacking beautiful football.  COYS

You have saved me writing what I feel exactly.

Stop all this excuse stuff and get in and give us a chance to win Tommy. Kane and Thomson on from the start. Pittodrie pitch is no too bad so we should be able to play football. Please give us long suffering fans something to feel good about.

Watching the highlights of last nights game I see again Mannus seems unable to hold a shot and always wants to push it/ punch it away from. He also went down like a bed settee for the second goal. I don't expect a change but if he has a bad game on Saturday I would be surprised if he isn't pulled for the return Partick game.

Wrap up warm all who are traveling up here at the weekend. It's f##king freezing ! Down to -5 tonight and through the weekend is to be same. 

Typical, a home game for me and I'm away until the start of next week. 

COYS give the sheep a bigger fright than a farmer with a glint in his eye at Thainstone mart. Over 2 games this season we're 8 - 5 ahead, make it 9 - 5 over 3 with 3 points and I'll be a very happy bunny.

Take your ear plugs if you are standing near 'Ghostie' ...... Only joking sorry if you have been feeling a bit picked on:-(

 I am fine. I hope everyone brings their singing  voices to get behind the team and  not the sit on their hands attitude which we sometimes suffer from.

Seeing as Patrick thread closed I will post on here as it is a general point. I noticed that they committed 17 fouls & no bookings .We had 8 fouls & 2 booking. It has been the case now for a number of weeks that we are commiting half the fouls of our opponents & more bookings.

Are we professional enough or just a soft touch.

I was thinking about this and had a look back and for a while we have been  committing  a lot less fouls than the other teams. Maybe we need to get wired in more and  get it up some of them.

Please Ghostie, don't shout at our full back to pick up their wide player when he's 5yards from the touchline and the ball is at the other side of the pitch. Apart from that continue to shout any random thought that comes into your head.:laugh:

I have been noticing the exact same thing?! I have come to the conclusion that we are held in equal contempt by all the referees EXCEPT Willie Collum who is equally inept for ALL teams.

i do think you have highlighted a real problem tho' how many times have you seen a Saints player booked at a first offence whilst the opposition have multiple fouls before being booked? If at all?!? Mon Saints man up for Aberdeen⚽️

And yet opposition fans think that Muzz gets away with murder most weeks.

I have so far not jumped on the dropMannus bandwagon,but having watched the Jags highlights I think he needs "rested".Better keepers than him(Hart,De Gea,Cech etc.) have all been rested recently and come back stronger.The constant chopping and changing in the defence ,for whatever reason is bound to be unsettling too.
