Great work by Henderson for the goal but we are up against it now after Welsh’s red card - absolutely shocking decision. We’ll win the appeal but that doesn’t help us for the rest of this match.

I wouldn’t bet on winning the appeal. SFA, innit.

Carson's booking was exceptionally harsh. Armstrong (I think) threw himself to the ground as he did on multiple occasions last night.

It was like watching the Ayrshire Olympic diving team at times. Vassell in particular was throwing himself all over the place, and the ref bought it pretty much every time. That David Dickenson wasn’t the real deal.  

I was optimistic (or mad) before the game, but feared the worst after that early goal. But for the last 85 minutes we were easily the better team. I was worried that not taking our chances in the first half might come back to haunt us, but fortunately not. If we’d been more clinical in the second half it would have been even more comfortable. 
It felt like Kilmarnock thought they could sit on 1-0 (MacInnes must be one of the most negative managers out there, I’m glad I don’t have to watch that every week) and seemed short on ideas once they fell behind. I thought we harried them really well and didn’t let them settle on the ball. 
if we could play like this every week, we’d be a pretty good bet for the title - here’s hoping this reboots our league form.

It’s not a bad result in isolation. The Hamilton games are the ones that seem to have put the (promotion) play-offs out of realistic reach.

 

I’d have taken a point at Dens when looking at the run of fixtures 10 days ago, but 0/6 against Hamilton has done for us.

Still, a clean sheet, some nice beers, 100% record this season for me, 6/6

Can we bribe you to attend every game?

That statement is utterly nauseating.

On Facebook I have had two separate features about St Johnstone winning 'suggested' for me.

 

I view this very dimly.

Do the suggestions involve St Johnstone shoving their win where the sun don’t shine.

Ok that’s the ruling. WTF is the team now?! 

Deas in the middle, Harper at LB at a guess

Neither can be remotely as bad as Collum was on Friday.

Walsh is terrible

Campbell says they were by far the better team on the night but sorry old man you just weren't good enough to beat us even with us at 10 and 9 men. We may not have looked that pretty but by jove we can defend all over the pitch. What a win guys!!!!!

With 9 (and at one point 8 ) players, Arbroath have only themselves. The only bit of luck we got was that header off the bar at the death, but I reckon we deserved a break at that point.

I wonder if the club would consider having a Pay What You Can game next Friday.

It would be great to fill the stadium and tempt in some new fans for next season in the top flight (fingers crossed). I have noticed a lot of new faces, especially young ones, attending the play off games and it would be great to keep building the momentum. 

In the current economic climate, it would be a nice gesture to those who are struggling financially, and these initiatives can have a funny way of actually being financially beneficial to the club.

Let's create an atmosphere.

 

Ticket prices are dictated by the SPFL unfortunately, so we can’t do that. 
 

If last night doesn’t bring ‘em in, nothing will.

6/30 points in 2022, 10 games without a win. Simply. Not. Good. Enough. 

Look at the league table alongside this statistic. It’s a criminal waste of an opportunity.

Looking at the formation of the team when we had our best run it was Allardice and MacGregor in the centre of midfield - two technical ball players with loads of energy who helped our defence. Once that pairing was split up and adding the Gardyne fiasco into the mix - thats where things started to go wrong. How they recover from this is a more difficult question to answer. 

If we had brought in some actual defenders in January, we could put Carson into the Allardice role in midfield. As it is, we can look forward to weeks of 3-1-6 and being “unlucky”

All I can say is that it is a blessing that living in the south of England, the English FA rules that prevent me  from watching ICT on any streaming service, whilst live games are taking place in England, have saved me , over the last few weeks, the misery of actually watching the dross we have served up.  It is hard enough reading about it on here, and I feel sorry for those of you who have actually watched our inept performances, either at the grounds or via streaming .I fear the only 'pay offs' we have a realistic chance of competing in now are those at the bottom end of the table.

There are, apparently, ways round that should your masochistic side emerge.

We were but the alcohol numbed everything 

There isn’t enough alcohol to numb that nonsense 

Signing Voldemort and the subsequent fallout appears to define our season. 

That was very poor. If we come up against a side that works hard we just don’t know what to do. 
 

This is starting to feel like the final days of Foran’s spell as manager. 
 

And unless we improve dramatically, we will be no where near the play offs.

Could it simply be that Billy Dodds, despite being given his own first team debut by Chelsea at the age of 17, is just not willing to show faith in younger players?

Then I would suggest that he is coaching at the wrong club. 

Our season is falling apart

Nick Walsh really is a poor referee...

Really really important we win tomorrow now though. 

It’s always the Nick Walsh show. Only thing missing was a red card. 

I’d argue that we have 16 must win games between now and the end of the season. 

It never rains, but it pours.

Actually, whilst I left the Old Spice to my father and Henry Cooper, my teenage self was, in the late 70s, delighted to find a bottle of Hai Karate in my Christmas stocking.

I splashed it on liberally but it never had the effect depicted in the adverts. However, as I recall, it did give me an irritating rash.

Brut for Henry, surely?

I thought we were a defender short before this…
