Different kind of match today. Feels strange to say formation didn't seem to work as we won but Alic never looked comfortable as was torn between pressing high and trying to cover in the channel, where Aberdeen got a lot of success both sides. Todd didn't seem that comfortable either. Felt the makeshift defence did well though. I really questioned Finlayson's signing but he's been impressive since taking his opportunity, wins plenty headers, tracks players and can play a little. Despite Willie Miller bemoaning our style of play today, some good passages of play and feel things are clicking a bit now. Front 2 need to hold ball more though. Oh but can Simo do away with this "everyone back for corners"? It leaves too many in the box and any clearance comes right back.

It's illegal to wedge a fire door open and as you say an insurer would absolutely jump on that to void any claim. But main point about bags/trays for food certainly valid.

Just a couple of questions: 1. How does limiting away support to one stand for matches vs Dundee Utd, Dundee, Aberdeen Hibs etc... tie with reasons to give Old Firm 3 stands. We're either trying to maximise revenue from all away support or we're not. Move families to north end of GB stand so they can have an actual season ticket for all matches. Then leave North and Ormond for away support. 2. The Pie Sports service in main stand still below par. Too often food items not available as they are not ready before half time. And please can Pie Sports just invest in some kind of PoS technology? An app on a few cheap tablets better than pencil and paper and calculate. The young staff will likely avoid conflict and "correct" mistakes by giving things away by accident that someone has asked for but that they didn't charge for.

Note Paton flattened himself trying to push Wright over and backed off when he went back for seconds but Wright was looking this time.

Fraser Wright clearly thinking that even though Ciftci wasn't playing he still had to melt one of the Utd players. 🤣

Coverage is total high school media project stuff but I love it. Doesn't need a slick operation. Cuthbert looking very good.

Did we sell out old pitch to the Slovenians? Shocking surface for an international match.

I imagine both the time to do that and having 3000 folks milling about outside while it's done would have been prohibitive. Some sparky will be making a few quid over the next few days.

Yeah he was there again today. Pitch looked great again today. Hopefully money well spent.

The problem for the club, and I said this back in the summer, is while today they probably did the best they could with a difficult, short notice issue the goodwill has gone. Fans are expecting better service. That may be deemed unrealistic but the smallest things will be viewed very critically now. This happens last season it would barely be mentioned again. Btw watching the highlights, i'm not having Diabate's 2nd yellow. Not a chance, I'd barely class it as fould. Yeah he made a mistake but football is a contact sport. Worse challenges made all match.

Must have been at least 4,000 Saints fans and if you ask Falkirk they will have brought 10,000

What a strange day, empty East Stand really felt weird. As for the game, felt we were the better team but either looked hesitant or ponderous when we could go for the troat or just lazily punted it giving Fowler little chance. I think we were trying to lure Falkirk out and hit them down the channels but a combination of weather and poor execution meant this was rarely successful. But still the better team. Diabate's 2nd yellow is soft but hard to contest in isolation but in the context of the game looks realky harsh. 2 fouls and he was off. It is pleasing that their time wasting meant we had time to score. Mitchell and Diabate big misses but shout out to Finlayson. I'm not alone in being surprised at his signing but the lad did well today. Whole team deserve plaudits, but really pleased for Steven. Was excellent today and as for Alic best left back we've had for years. Given the circumstances a draw is a great result. Feel the team has another gear if Simo would just let them loose a little.

Was it not mentioned they'd brought in some help earlier in the season. Could the lad we saw not just be the help and this new job advert be to backfill the Hibbee's position?

I cannie wait for this. Loved the Tennants 6s and this will be a grand watch. Great team we've got, not bothered if we win but seeing some of these guys pinging a ball (or in Wright's case hoofing a ball) about will be great. They've made a mess of the ticketing but i'll just watch on the telly.

That's a pretty good 6-a-side team there. Jody, Craig and Conway all good on the ball, big lump at the back to smash everything out the pitch, a decent striker who's just stopped playing and a reliability good shot stopper who's presumably still in good shape given his business. Just give us the trophey now.
