Indicator Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) 'eck St Johnstone, who wud've thunk it... only one goal. International breaks grrrrr!!From the BBC."Two excellent first-half strikes helped Partick Thistle bring St Johnstone back down to earth in the Perth side's first game since trouncing Aberdeen 5-1".Aye we've obviously exceeded our positivity entitlement levels just lately.

RandomGuy Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 A harrowing hark back to last season. With half the game us struggling to get out our own box and putting no pressure on anyone thinking about shooting. The other half we spend it pumping balls forward and having absolutely no end product.Struggle to claim we deserved anything from the game either tbh, such was the horrendous effort of our first half and the pure beauty of the two Thistle goals.Lost all patience with Wotherspoon aswell, while Lappins played himself out the squad for about the nineteenth time. Struggle to see what Sutton adds to us aswell. Far rather see more of Caddis and Kane these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ghost of Jim Morton Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Gotta win this one to make the Dons and United wins worth while. Pretty sure we will but the guys will need to be up for it and approach it in the correct manner. Saints had enough chances to win that game but some poor finishing plus a couple of good saves from the time wasting goalie meant we got nothing. Shit happens sadly..

MrBored Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Two top strikes from Partick allowed them to play their game. We were far too slow in moving the ball in the first half. Improved in the second, but didn't really deserve anything from the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Defence okay and Maclean had a decent game but midfield was poor.bizarre decision to start our best player this season on the bench, unless he was deemed not fully fit.first 10 mins of each half we played at a great tempo and caused problems, but it fizzled out. The long ball extravaganza in the second half was grim, and thistle seemed to cope well with it.two screamers for partick and they defended fairly well. Our last two results show that in this league, outwith celtic, anyone can take points of any other side and nobody is really that much better than anyone else.

Abernethy Saint Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 LAUGH OUT LOUD, this is what we do. Hammer the league leaders, thrash the Greatest Team in the World Ever Ever Ever No Srender, gub the Arabs yet again......and then lose at home to Partick (no disrespect intended).

The Real Saints Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 We were great in the first 5-10 minutes before allowing Partick far too much time on the ball and control of the general play. I must admit I was impressed with them and I thought they deserved the win overall (although the handball incident took place inside the box and should have resulted in a penalty).On a positive note, MacLean is now the clear top scorer in the league. Well done Macca. A great performance from him today. Cummins' shooting left a lot to be desired, but he works well with MacLean and always provides at least one moment of real quality throughout the course of a game. Today, it was a fine assist for our goal.Lappin was poor and Wotherspoon's passing was very wasteful. After an improvement in form during the past few weeks, Shaughnessy was off the boil today (particularly in the second-half). I'd freshen things up a tiny bit next week -MannusFisher Mackay Scobbie EastonO'Halloran Millar Davidson CraigMacLeanCummins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaky Toon Saint Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Two great goals from Thistle. Just not our day today. Onwards to the next game. At least my bridie wasn't half cremated like it was at the Utd game. So at least that is one positive from today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstar101 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Joe the throw was poor today, as was Cummins. Spoony started well but then a couple of poor touches at end of first half seemed to affect him.Muzz was average, Craig was ok, was Lappin playing??Dave & Beast were decent. I thought Scobbie did very well against very hard to handle, big strikersMOH should have been on from start. Caused havoc when he got the ball running at their defence. At least two or three Thistle players got booked for fouling himFor me, Tommy's changes were too like for like. Taking Spoony off for Caddis wasn't taking a big enough risk and if he thought the aerial route was going to work, why not have both Cummins and Sutton on at the end?all that said, I actually feel we did deserve something from the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Strange, Mikey not in starting 11. No injuries according to Tommy but Midge not even on bench. Did he not want to change a winning team. If so why drop Clark.Lappin,Wotherspoon & Craig are are very slow midfield.Wotherspoon blowing out his arse after 20 mins. I think he had a virus last season & I don't think he has been the same player since. Lappin past it. Craig needs someone to do work in midfield. Will have to see the goals again but even though they were great strikes they were no better & further Out than the one that the PPatrick goalie saved.Craig should have scored with free header. Cummins should have done better with his header & had 3 wild shots when a crossmay have been betterMcLean missed anopen goal near the end & how the ref or linesman thought hand ball was outside boxI will never know.At Aberdeen everything we hit went in. Not today. Edited October 17, 2015 by Cagey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broon Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Just one of those games. We didn't carry any luck and thistle did. Two world class strikes. I actually used to watch the shooting practice and regularly used to comment that Gary Millar was the best striker of the ball in our side. Sods bloody law he decided to prove it today.Lappin was culpable for their second. Switched off for the second time at a throw in but you can't legislate for the strike. Worldly. Still thought at 2-0 we could win the game and we really should have. Cummins and Craig missed easy headers and Cerny saved brilliantly from mackay, Craig and Cummins. Maclean nearly got one when he rounded the goalkeeper and then that bloody ridiculous refereeing decision for the free kick (100% penalty). Was a good, entertaining game.

SaintJet Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) PIss poor first half. Thistle scored two spectacular goals- (I have a grudging admiration for Gary Millar, nice goal - he looked composed and looks like a nice find for Thistle- he didn't deserve to be jettisoned by us but hey - good luck Gary) Our midfield was by- passed by a clever hard working Jag team who reminded me of us- get your head out of your ass- our calling card is closing down the play.Our D makes me nervous, without classy Dave we could be in real trouble. Tam Scobbie, Jury has been out longer than the OJ Simpson case- I'm not convinced.Spoony is bereft of confidence and I seen a side of his game today I didn't like where he was very lucky not to be booked for a nasty tackle- the kid is class stop trying to be Steven Gerrard and get back to working your sock off.Muzz was unusually quiet , he came on a game late on but the ball was on the slates by then.Two world class saves by the Jag keeper- the first one just after we scored was unbelievable.All in all a crap day but the exciting end when we were still in it justified the trip.We'll play worse and win.Macca looks as sharp as ever. If only MOH has started. Edited October 17, 2015 by SaintJet play worse and lose-sorry had a few drinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely he should at least have agreed to the Saints players request to speak to the referee and tell him this. I was nearly parallel with the incident and I do go to Specsavers, it was at least 2 feet inside the box. This is the sort of simple dispute that could be settled in about 30 seconds using even the limited TV coverage available. Ridiculous and I suppose Tommy will now have to wait and see if the SFA take the huff at his comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Unlucky. Beaten by 2 great shots. We could have scored 5, but not our day.How the Ref was so slow to get oer to the penalty handball, if he was there any sooner it was obvious the thistle player would have still been in the box. I'm pretty sure the ref sees the offending player in the box and watches him walk out of it. Shocker! The ref has clearly lost us at least a point today. Although I did notice the Jags fans going crazy at the ref more than a dozen times today. In short it was piss poor ref. Though our effort and chances deserved at the very least a point. Unlucky.

cristo Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 We've played worse and won, and we will do again. Midfield was poor, stood off too much and let them play. Miller,s goal was a great strike, the second one would've ended up on the car park on another day.Hey ho, can't win them all, but we'll win more than we lose this season.Onwards and upwards, COYS. angus-saint253, Saintee 14 and Bruno Strasser 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
