Swearing, coarse language and innapropiate remarks are yelled out at grounds across this country. If you went and supported anyone else it would be no different. Football attracts all kinds of people. Most can tolerate it but I understand those that don't want to. Throwing accusations at individuals is totally unnecessary though. Especially when you don't know if they were even at the game. For those with youngsters I understand. I work with young people for a living and it's near impossible in the world of today to Shelter them from that kind of conduct. It's highly inappropriate but it's not illegal but as has been said don't sit there twiddling. Say something to them. If that dosent work speak to security though they are pretty feckless themselves. And if all else fails move seats to quieter part of the ground. You shouldn't have to do that but that's the reality of it. While you may not agree with the behaviour and language of those around you there is very little that can stop them.

Boyce and Cardle to replace Marley and Billy should they go. I'd happily raid County for them. Both good players that suffer from County's hoof and thump appoach abd who would play better in a team that play good football.

In our passing style formation Sanchez would have flourished imo

If Sekajja does leave then we will need another striker in to cover for Billy again. Dont see us selling anyone, especially key lads like Shinnie and Billy, unless the offers are astronomical.

Fantastic away day to be part of yesterday and a late winner to boot, thoroughly enjoyed my time Game was not a classic in terms of quality. We struggled to keep our shape and found it hard to get in behind Dundee in the first half. They are not much of a team to watch themselves, relying heavily on set pieces to create chances which they got their goal from, players like Tansey and Williams were struggling to get time on the ball to knock it about. 2nd half saw us making better use of the wings, huge chunk of luck for Billy's goal but when you play well you get the breaks like that, the introduction of Doran and Christie was well timed, we really took the game to Dundee late on and grabbed the chance that came our way, good ball in and a great finish from Ryan to create some late scenes in the away end. Given his current form Clarkson was in the thinking im sure but thought Warren and Meekings did well to keep him quiet. He showed some decent touches but never got a sniff at goal. Signs of a great team when you play poorly but win, we ever stopped trying and got rewarded for our efforts. Yogi deserves credit for the double change. It's what won us the game.

Im guessing Dawson's been watching GOAL! or Field of dreams recently

Brill Raven, Warren, Meekings, Tremarco Tansey, Shinnie Watkins, Christie, Williams Billy Subs: Esson, Devine, Horner, Polworth, Vincent, Doran, Sekajja

Billy looked like a man who had no faith in his ability on Saturday but it is possible that the constant use of him since the turn of the year has maybe worn him out. He's only human after all. With all the time and trialling that went into acquiring Sekajja maybe it would be in Yogi's best interests to give him a run in the team and see how he gets on. Like Roughi says I would see it more as resting Billy as opposed to dropping him. Oh and Doran was rubbish against County which is why he was hooked, he then threw a tantrum which is why we probably havent seen him since the derby. Not that it matters. Marley, Williams and Vincent have all done well since coming back into the fold.

he wont mind As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine. Even if he cant make it im sure their friendship will Live Forever

If Noel can't make it then Don't look back in anger Dave

Solid performance after going down to 10 mean. St Mirren ran out of ideas quickly but we did well to close them off and could have even nicked one or two more ourselves. Yogis subs were shrewd. Vincent and Tremarco shored up the wings and helped see out the game. First half was anyone's game though we had the better chances. Christie and McKay both passed up good chance while Ball missed a real sitter for Midden but after Tansey dispatched his pen I was confident we'd come away with the 3 points...despite the events that followed the first half it turned out to be the case. Someone needs to take Willies cards away from him. Man is a complete killjoy of a ref and is very selective. He made a good call on the pen but some yellows were just not worth the time and he let some challenges go that were worse. He also left Shinnie waiting on the side for a long time before allowing him back on, despite looking over more than once. Pleasing to see us get a win on the road after a couple of frustrating defeats. Hoping we can continue the good home form against United and put another run together.

As I recall he failed to negotiate a severance package from Livingston who were demanding quite a substantial amount for him but wouldnt pay to sign him. Though we were prepared to pay money for Rankin who we went for instead. Hoolahan is an excellent player, no question.

Yessir. I had to eat humble pie when Andy Shinnie started to make the grade. I thought he wouldn't amount to much on initial showing.

I remember a Leicester fan once saying that Jonny Hayes was only good enough for league 2 at best. You just never know what Ibra may possess.

Campbell is under investigation for match fixing. His slide down the trof is probably his idea of keeping a low profile.

Was Paul Lambert ever linked with us? I seem to recall him cropping up when Robbo left.

Also heard today that he has signed. Glad we finally have some cover for Bill

Vile first half performance. I've never seen us look so lost and so sloppy defensively. We were too slow to get out. County were onto every second ball and pressing us wherever we went. It was simply not good enough. Worst team in the league and for 45 minutes we made them look almost decent. The tactical shuffle paid off in the second half. Marley competed well up top and also freed up space for Billy who found himself getting in behind and we're it not for Brown he would have had a couple himself. Thought Christie did really well on the left wing too. Linked up well with Shinnie and whoever else got involved. Deano maybe could have done better with the goal but he kept us in that game with 3 fantastic stops in the first half. He was well due his motm. Having watched it back over I can't believe Carey didn't walk. Following his yellow card he should have been gone A for his challenge on Doran and B his deliberate handball. He literally pawed the ball down to stop us going forward. On what planet does that not merit a card? It beggers belief that Craig Thomson is as well thought of as he is. I shouldn't have to say I'm relieved to see us take a point off the worst team in the league but I am. We seriously need to cut out the pitter patter at the back. It's already cost us big time. We are a very capable side but this is beyond individual errors. This is something they are being instructed to do but it clearly isn't working. Anyhow no loss and a national break - roll on Midden away

Haha I'm not assuming he will be amazing in real life. I find it more ironic than anything else that were are looking at him. Calm yersel He's a football manager god from a season or 2 back but apparently not that good, crewe had him on loan but rejected him....... If he does come in and become a Baller though I'm gonna claim I discovered him. Cos it's fact.

Sakajja was an absolute hero for me on FIFA. This would make my day if we brought him in.

2 of the cheapest goals Ive ever seen us concede in a game of football and the one wedged between was just schoolboy defending for Logans, though his finish for a right back was exceptional. It was frustrating to watch because we have gone to Pittodrie and scored 2 very well taken goals and aside from the ridiculous individual errors have actually played reasonably well and usually away from home 2 goals are enough to see us through, would have been 3 when Warrens header cannoned off the post, he was very unlucky. Our ability in final third was questionable at times. Watkins and Doran seemed to want too much time on the ball and Billy was starved of service yet again as a result. Aberdeen themselves were no great shakes but its a win they didnt have to work very hard for. Best player for them was Hayes by a mile. Touch, trickery and pace were there for all to see and he put it to full use, we couldnt get near him at times. 3 away defeats is a stat that will need improving on though hopefully home comforts will see us pick up a win in the derby next week. No doubt our neighbours over the bridge will be full of confidence after their late winner.

Same team as last week. Which for me is our strongest starting XI just now.

Defended too deep in the first half and left Billy totally isolated up top. Despite having Doran and Watkins on the pitch they offered little width and werent working in tandem. Misplaced passes, poorly timed runs etc. 2nd half saw us push forward a bit more but we never created any clear cut chances. Players like Moshni were so poor on the ball but were given all the time in the world to move the ball, we simply didnt press enough or want it enough. Sevco were not much better but came away with win and on the basis of play probably deserved it. Though Crawford Allan was very poor as ref. Some terrible challenges that warranted further punishment went unchecked and a lack of flow to the game wasnt helped by his picky approach towards itty bitty fouls. Only player that really shone for me was Liam Polworth. Im not his biggest fan but I thought bar one moment in the first half he moved the ball about really well throughout the game and was one of few who seemed to have a real go. Sevco fans were pretty vile as well but nothing new there, nothing better than getting started on the way out of a ground. Need to step our game back up at the weekend. St J's at home and Aberdeen away are games against teams who will competing for top 6 and Europe. Both these games are vital 6 pointers.
