Why only 5 subs?!

Shocking crowd

What is the crowd? Friday night eh! Anyhoo fasten your seatbelts............this is a biggie.

We're doing OK but I'm not entirely convinced by how we're set-up here. I would like to see Draper moved into the centre and Doran switched from Left to Right. Their centre halfs look like they're running in treacle, Billy easily has the beating of both for pace so we need to try and utilise it more.

Fairly even both teams negating each other

Not much to get excited about so far. Doran's looked lively and Drapers getting involved but Ravens passing has been poor. It's also getting cold, coffee time.

Why only 5 subs?!

a few injuries and a few players didn't pass a fitness test

Strange how we're playing a 4-4-1-1 instead of a 4-2-3-1

It would be nice if we decided to come out for the 2nd half at some point.

Meh

Don't know what to think of the result. But to be fair, both keepers deserved the clean sheets.

Awful game. I'm fairly happy with the result against a tricky St Johnstone side.

That was absolute pish i just watched

Poor game. No cutting edge. Got to be happy with a point

first time this season i have watched on tv instead of being at the game.we were gash.

 

top priority next season is a forward who can hold the ball up, maybe win the odd header. also a winger who can beat a defender, not just look busy twisting and turning going nowhere except backwards or sideways.

 

we had a couple of chances 2nd half but they fell to the wrong shinnie and doran. the right shinnie should have put his header on target first half

 

nothing on the bench to change the game.

 

before xmas we would have scored a couple of goals tonight. then again maybe let a couple in

Shocking crowd

Even my son commented on it....and he knows NOTHING about footie lol

Relieved not to have lost after that performance.  I think those players with offers on the table and who have not signed up should do so now.  Having played so poorly on a televised match I can't see better offers coming in for anyone.  No movement off the ball, no vision, poor control, poor shooting.  Given that we are 5 points clear in 3rd spot I was expecting a confident performance but it must rank as one of the worst of the season. 

 

Hopefully the players can take heart from the fact that they didn't lose and can get back to winning ways after the split.

Shocking crowd

North Stand as full as I have seen it for a while apart from Celtic and County games.  Friday night and being live on TV is bound to reduce the crowd but I thought the crowd was pretty good.

Was really disappointed with this performance - living in Spain I dont see many games but this was dreadful we could not put two passes together we were second to every ball in the end I suppose we have to be content with a draw - the frightening thing is we could have won it had it not been for Mannus with a couple of great saves - that would have been robbery - which by the way would have made me very happy - Terry summed it up perfectly in his interview he said it was Rubbish

Tripe and Offul spring to mind.

3744 at the game according to the BBC

i had a ball of a time. stood next to a german guy called david, who loved the chants from section E and got involved. jamp arround for about half an hours, got home after having a great night, and everyones fecking miserable. bore off. if the games shi*e make use of your time and enjoy yourself. get involved and sing. dont moan about a shi*e game because youve just sat on your tod being a miserable ponce for 90 minutes.

 

rant over.

 

great noise in the second half. enjoyed myself.

 

 

come at me sweetie rustlers!

Yep, looks like it Chris.  Glad to see you are so loyal.  Was Terry in.  Unfortunately that was a miserable performance lacking any invention in the first half, slightly better in the second half but we could be doing much better.  I spend most of my money on Guinness, it's more enjoyable.

Well Chris I'm sorry to say but I thought tonight was the biggest pile of uninspired drivel I have seen in a long time.

 

I don't know much about tactics either but there was a distinct lack of them tonight.

 

Highlight for me was their goalie's save from Draper.

St Johnstone made it very difficult for us to do anything. Yet again people are walking out of the stadium complaining. At the start of the season our main objective was to stay in the SPL. Yet, people are moaning because we have DRAWN, not lost, but drawn to a good St Johnstone side. Tonight, during the game we were discussing contenders for ICT's POTY and there were at least 7. That shows how good a season it has been. 5 games to go, 15 points to play for, so lets really get behind the boys instead of constantly being negative about the team. Also, thought i should say that it was great to hear section E and it would be excellent if we could get the whole stand doing that.
