Some encouraging signs in the two away games and Switzerland at home was a write off after the red card and early goal but that was very poor tonight. McBurnie remains a big doo. 20 caps and no goals. Let that be the end of that.

I thought having 1 x 3 week international break would have been better than the 2 x 2 week ones previously but this seems to have lasted for about 6 months!
Off to see Cory Hanson at Stereo tonight. Must have been 2019 last time I saw him play with Wand at Mono. Got this ticket over a year ago when it was supposed to be The Flying Duck!
Really enjoyed Widow’s Bay excellent telly. Creepy and funny with so many great performances. Spent most of it thinking it needs to just be a one and done but now think they’ve set it up nicely for the second series.
Encouraging 2nd half from Scotland and should have won. Need to find a goalscorer from somewhere!
Superb gig from Man/Woman/Chainsaw at Tuts. The cover of Cannonball a wee bonus. Such an amazing and varied set of songs already. Seeing them again at the Art School next year.
When you need someone to score and they’ve brought on a character from the Star Wars prequels
Sinisalo awful at the goal. Has a clear look at the shot coming on. Could probably catch it but needs to just push it wide. Anything except what he did.
Not far off the team I’d have picked. Although I wouldn’t have had McCowan anywhere near it! Nygren playing off the striker will hopefully suit him. Still nowhere near confident though.
Issues throughout the team but while Hassan obviously has some talent his point blank refusal to sprint (or even jog quickly) back the way isn’t going to endear him to any manager.
Team has a bit more balance about it overall and seems more like players in their best positions and not just trying to shoehorn all our “best” players in but the downside of that is at first glance there doesn’t seem to be a huge amount of goals in the lineup.
Abysmal performance. Not signing a midfielder who can dominate a game is going to come back to bite us against any even remotely competent opposition
Good win if not a good performance. Johnstone showed up well. Baur settling in now and Donovan an upgrade on Ralston. A win, a clean sheet and a few players rested.
Poor stuff so far. All very pedestrian and defence look like they are always on the edge of making a mistake. Cracking save from Johnstone.
Felt we would maybe see a few changes tonight. Good to see Hogh back and Sorensen get a start. Interesting to see how Johnstone does.
Going to be interesting to see the first Scotland squad under Pocognoli. There are likely to be at least 11 places opened up from the World Cup squad (hopefully 1 more as would love KT to step back from it). Lots of players who could be called up and may try to get Hackney and Gray to commit.
More VAR confusion last night. Leaving aside the questionable lines for the Duran one the process followed for Mheuka seems to have been incorrect with a precedent here. www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...
Not a perfect performance by any means but a great win. Think that’s 12 league wins in a row now? St Mirren played some nice stuff. Good mix of physicality and decent football.
Sky should just run an apology for bad language on a ticker along the bottom of the screen at every St Mirren home game they show. It’s a mystery why the sweariest man in Paisley is still allowed in the ground. Imagine taking your kids to the game and being stuck beside that lunatic?
Good win that. Felt we played ok generally. Couple of “tight” offside decisions. Think Mheuka was probably just off but the way they arrived at the decision was farcical and he seem nothing that shows Duran was offside for the first
We have a lot of midfielders now. We need to try to find the right balance. AOC has played well the last two games but Sorensen might be a better option to bring on given the game state
Scales running out like Liam Gallagher and then going all Al Jolson is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen
Excellent stuff. Love the tactic of leaving Duran and Hassan up front when defending a corner. Really gives the opposition something to think about. Duran is a star. Hopefully comfortable enough now to see Mhueka and Sorensen get some game time
