It looks to me Cummins has been clipped and that's caused his stride pattern to go. The complete lack of arguments from the Motherwell players speaks volumes in my opinion. I'm not a fan of all the hate for him either, yes his finishing is appalling, but he's a hard worker who offers plenty in terms of linking play and as an outball. See goal 3 on Saturday. He's not someone I want to see starting every week, especially not at home, but some of the comments about him are unfair for me.

I agree! I couldn't believe that Stewart and Thompson, who are generally decent pundits, didn't even mention this as a possibility. I thought he was clipped and it took an extra stride for him to lose his balance and go down, making it look that he fell over/ dived, as there was no contact on the stride where he went down. Suggestions that Cummins would rather dive than have a go when one on one with GK seem silly. He has struggled for form at times, and his finishing hasn't been great, but he has never hidden or shirked responsibility. As a squad player he's okay.

Doing well on Twitter today https://twitter.com/St_Johnstone_FC/status/897141612408713217

My source tells me that Clyde have demanded a swap deal. They want MacLean, Cummins, Hendry + 200k. I wouldn't take this offer. It sounds unreasonable to me.

I don't know who's been given the duty of running the official twitter account this season, but they've got the tone absolutely bang on. Informative but not boring, casual but not unprofessional, cheeky but not to the point of trying too hard. Thumbs up from me.

I wish. First session I have seen in a while. This thing they call work gets in the way. If it is the same as the picture shown above it could have been but not 100 percent sure.

Strikers live or die by their goal count. If Cummins had scored three tap-ins on Saturday, and done little else, he would be a hero. The downside is when you consistently don't score, regardless of what else you do, you are vilified. TBH, I think that's fair enough. These are grown-ups who know what their job is and what to expect from the fans. As has been said, sooner or later he will miss-hit a pass which will accidentally fly past the keeper and confidence will return.

Knock Knock Who`s there ? TOPOV Top of Top of Top of the league..... This song is dedicated to Greg Twine. Known on here as FCF. His likeness to Topov the monkey from the show PIPKINS led him to be asked to be a double when Topov wasn't feeling too well. Any one got a picture ???

I'd be surprised if Cummins doesn't get a ban, it doesn't look good at all. Absolutely terrifying that it looks like our second choice striker would rather dive and get a penalty than take a free shot from six yards.

That's not bad going since he played a game in Poland at 5 this a/noon (and scored).

You've both probably shot your load too early

Like saints at the top oh the league, it's only mine tae lose

I'd take him for £500,000 at the most. We can't break the bank on this one. Let's just hear what Clyde have to say. They're notoriously tricky operators.

I'd be disappointed if we paid a fee for a player who's about to turn 29, who's scored about five goals in three years, and whos playing in the bottom tier of the country.

I agree with two of RandomGuy's paragraphs.

On the other hand there was an occasion late on (can't remember if it was before or after the penalty debacle, but he was still on a hat-trick) when he did a neat feint to leave the ball for the man behind him, closer to goal. It didn't come off, but it would have been impressive if it had. And, since he was on a hat-trick, he could easily have just gone for it himself.

I think those with the anti Cummins glasses on should look at the build up to think the third goal. Cummins chased it down wide and did the work in getting it in. In addition he was also the player brought down for the pen. Good result and cant understand why Motherwell are thinking of throwing money at an appeal.

Some finish from Macca Shame he's finished

What a f*cking shambles. Top of the league. Sack the board.

8. Keep up.

He's finished at this level IMO
