Last season, the two St Johnstone players who had the punch up on the pitch had to sit beside each other (looking happy) when they played us here in their next game. I was a few rows behind enjoying it as they got some stick. It worked for them, so can work for our guys.
-
I tend to encourage them to put it wide to Tremarco!
-
I see Coll Donaldson has made the SPFL team of the week.
-
Hopefully the incident is behind them now and may act as an impetus to Polworth to become more influential on the park. As others have said, a goal and an assist would normally be seen as a good shift. He and Vigurs probably suffer stick for different reasons, but they can be key for us this season, given the general quality around them, I also want to see more from Trafford as there looks to be potential there.
-
I was in the main stand, saw that and applauded the play. Yes, there may be some who are overly critical, but don't tar the majority with the same brush.
-
Agreed!
-
I've given young MacKay three for around four minutes on the pitch, both for his performance and energy, and for reminding us there is hope for the future!
-
It didn't work last season, I was at all home games except the two against Celtic, when I was on holiday and then working, so I am not the cure to our problems! I keep trying to get my wife to come to games, her record is two wins out of two: the cup final and St Johnstone last season, but she keeps refusing!
-
I don't want to tempt fate but, due to family commitments, I missed the Falkirk, Dundee United and Livingston games. As a result, I have seen four games, two wins, two draws, 7 goals for and only 1 against. In such a poor run, I am either lucky or unique.
-
If that's what happened, it's disgraceful, and not justified even in the heat of the moment. Hopefully it can be sorted out very quickly without damage to the player or club. This is the last thing we need the way this season has started.
-
He did as his child starts school next year so he wants to be settled. Shame, though, as his experience could be key behind the scenes as well as on the park. Shame Nick Ross won't sign on a short term deal whilst training here. I hope his ambition to play abroad comes to fruition and his career does not stall.
-
This poll is for last week's game. Today's is not up yet. I agree though, MacKay was a breath of fresh air in his five minutes on the pitch.
-
Courier says a bust up between Polworth and Kellacher. I was unaware of it at the time.
-
It was announced, a poor 930.

I agree with the assessment of Doofers Dad. After the early goal, we were second best throughout the first half, but the second was better. Another clean sheet is a positive, but Fon Willliams had a couple of saves and Peterhead wasted a couple of chances. That said, we missed several when we should have done better. Some decent fairly fast forward moves in the second half, including the two goals. Defensively we still look shaky at times, with Donaldson the pick of the bunch. Tremarco will hopefully return to his best soon, Our midfield did not seize control. Some individual good points from each of them, but not consistent, and not always tracking back when we lost possession. I like Bell, and was surprised he was taken off. Baird was busy but not really effective. The highlight was young MacKay. In fairness he should have put Baird in when he ran forward with the ball, but who can blame him for trying to score. But only a moment later he did get his goal. I hope he kicks on and becomes our next home grown talent, and his enthusiasm and impact encourages Robertson to give others a chance. It was not a 3-0 game, but winning was important, and hopefully we can start to win points in the league, but three tough games looming!

Some promising displays there!
-
What was the score? Any stand out performances!
-
And if Tremarco stays fit, I wouldn't be surprised if we get offers for him.
-
Those of us there todayall need a lager night!!

I was just saying to my wife (who has only been to the cup final and the win over St Johnstone last season) that none of today's team would make the cup final team apart from Fon Williams and Tremarco (I know he only started then as Raven was injured). I am still stunned by how much has gone wrong in only 28 months, although I accept the warning signs were there back then.
-
I'd forgotten about that trying to think of positives!!
-
Saw it on Sky, he deserved it.
-
"We are doomed!"
-
I thought he was trying to encourage the team and give direction, possibly at the expense of his own game. Perhaps looked different depending on where in the ground you were.

A very poor game, we were fortunate to get a point against a Queen of the South team that I felt were poor at the back: on the few occasions we pressed them they panicked a bit. First half pretty even between two poor teams. Second half we did nothing and could have been thumped, but Fon Williams and (for a change) a couple of refereeing dcisions kept us alive. Fon Williams was my man of the match. The defence need credit for somehow not conceding. Donaldson and Mckay did surprisingly well. Much as I like Raven, he is short of pace now and a couple of crosses were poor. He deserved his booking. I don't think Tremarco is fully fit yet, but the knock before half time couldn't have helped him. His booking was harsh Disappointed in Trafford today, and didn't like his cynicism by deliberately knocking Rankin after their handbags tussle in the second half. He is picking no up too many bookings too. Vigurs tried to encourage and had a few good passes, and Polworth had a couple of good moments too. Our midfield lacks pace. Bell the pick of the front men, but had little to work with. Baird busy but lacks pace. Oakley didn't impress. Calder did nothing when he came on, with Mulraney lively but not having an impact. I share the concerns of others. Two tough away games next, no points and we are getting badly detached. I don't recall an attempt on or off target troughout the second half either. My favourite moment was before kick off seeing Warren chatting with young fans for a while. That shows how poor the game was.
