Radford 72

What do you want me to say? Yes, we were playing 3-5-2? You've clearly taken a hissy fit because it's been proved you have no idea what formation we were playing! Like Dev says, chill pet!

What have I said! I'm not the one throwing insults about (for a change!). I'm merely fed up with folk offering nothing constructive on this forum.

You have come on here and started laying into players (after having a go at some fans for doing so in the last few weeks) but thought Sheerin was playing "opposite" Lawrie and Stanic was at centre-back! When you can't even recognise how we are playing and come out with comments like "not getting" Martin Hardie, no wonder people are "knobs" to you. The treatment some players get on this forum is a disgrace.

LAWRIE WAS PLAYING IN DEFENCE!

It's taken him all of two weeks to be dragged down to our level!

Ok, time to put a positive spin on this... Did Halliwell have a tricky save to make? Then... Did Jason force the 'keeper into a great save from a one-on-one? Did the 'keeper make another great save from Savo from a well-worked free-kick? Did we have a goal chalked off for offside, which looked questionable? Did Hardie have the worst miss in the world? Did we hit the post? Did it take a last man block to prevent Jason bursting the net? I think if we'd scored just one of those chances today, the comments on here would be very different. If we'd scored two or three, we'd be delighted. We were rubbish but still, in the main, dominated and should have won. The problems from last season are still there, it was another easy to predict result on the Prediction League. We need a player with the ability to move at pace with the ball from the middle of the park. Hopefully he'll arrive this week.

Sheerin was playing on the right of midfield in the first-half though! It was clearly a back four we were playing.

That would be fine but we played 4-4-2 today!

Same old story. A new season but the same shite served up. Scotland elbowed the bloke but the guy was all over the back of him. He at least deserves credit though for not making a meal of it. This kicking the ball out of play thing needs looked at.

Difficult this week because we were so poor. Probably agree with the sponsors and go with Kevin James.

Saints 1-1 Accies Wake 2,250

Still don't think we're in top gear so can see another result like the ones that killed us last season. 1-1 with them scoring first. I'd guess Savo will come back in for Hardie with Ando replacing Ruti and then it being the same team as last Saturday with Young still cooling his heels on the bench.

Not at all! I'll be even more annoyed if he was sent off for the tackle.

Jackson is stronger, faster and far more of a goal threat. I like Doris but he's not on a par with Jackson. Yeah! I requested that! Cannae beat it! I think "Give It Up" by KC & The Sunshine Band was mine too! Agree. They are pish.

You better sit down as I'm about to agree with you. It's ridiculous the number of times he has been lobbed, even this season alone it is three! His handling is exceptional, he holds almost everything from range, making it look easy and as such not receiving the credit he maybe deserves for that part of his game but his command of the box and constantly leaving himself open to getting lobbed is a joke.

Savo for me. Absolutely astonishing work-rate and two good goals.

Coyle must go.

Strange that he's decided to leave Jason out, assume he has a knock. Glad Kevin James is playing to look after Armand One and glad Andy Lawrie is getting more game time. Can't believe we're putting midget back in a goal though. :x

Dobbie will be nowhere near the squad and Halliwell will be in goal! IMO!

After Rnd 2 - East Fife (H) - CIS Cup 3pts - Goran Stanic, Derek Young 2pts - Simon Mensing, Martin Hardie 1pt - Alan McManus, Jason Scotland

St Johnstone 3-1 Raith Rovers Steven Milne 1,325 Editing this @ 16:08 to change first scorer from Martin Hardie to Steven Milne.

Probably worth giving them a call! You know what the club are like! Anyway, Owen's said he's going to make five or six changes with Ando, Stevo, Dyer, Young and Peaso all likely to start. Jacko would've played but is away on U19 international duty with Ireland. Looks like Raith will be playing some fringe players too and they are trying to get Neil Janczyk on loan! Nae luck!

Wow! 140 then! What a turnout from the glorious Perth public.

132 Saints fans paid in the away entrance yesterday.

See you for a beer if you do! Let me know!
