Unusual for a Goodwin side to lose two late in the game.

You could say the same about Russel Anderson, a mediocre right back who came good as a central defender. At the same time, I really wonder what Milne would be like at holding mid, ahead of tobers and knoester. At the same time, I wonder if Tobers is any good!

Milne's excuse is inexperience. With more and more game time, aggression is the one thing that is possible to build on. Considine was really weak when he first came into the Dons side, and he worked hard at being aggressive in the challenge. Milne has the physique, he just needs to use it. This is his first season of top flight fitba, and Robinson is the right type of manager to work with on that side of things. It looked to me like Graham had prevented him jumping by challenging early. I suspect a more experienced defender would have gone down to make sure they got the foul. He'll learn. I'd say it's been a decent enough season for Milne overall. There's been a lot worse at the club, and I hope we try to continue his development. I think he could turn into a really good player.

Having watched it back you're correct, Graham jumped without looking at the ball (and as God said on Redtv it was a clear foul). However that doesn't excuse Milne for chickening out of the challenge hoping the ref will do his job.

Thank you both - you have brought me back to my senses. Fuck the Huns, fuck the 6 points gap. Come on St Mirren (edit: oh, it's all over)

No.

The sporting director model should include the ability for a manager to recommend players that he's either had experience of, or scouted, previously. It has to be a blend. The player should go through the recruitment team who do their research based on data and videos and additional scouting, and then he gets presented to the sporting director for final sign off. I guess they could apply weighting based on recommendation etc. For me, the sporting director needs to be the one that's on top of the overall balance of the squad and playing devil's advocate by asking how particular players fit into overall strategy and so on. He's there to make sure a robust process is in place and followed, ultimately refusing a signing who might be good, but would end in us having three similar players for example. There's no reason that a manager shouldn't be - in effect - signing players, there is every reason to prevent a manager from signing most or all of the players. It's about balance. Within that balance there must also be a commitment to not blocking the pathway for youth development.

He needs someone to create chances for him but everyone has lost the ability to put a decent cross in. The last few goals he has scored have been down to him alone.

I've seen a lot of praise for Geiger today, including from Robinson, but I thought he was fairly average 2bh. Yet to see anything from him that would indicate the pedigree that he has. My feeling is this was a good point for us today given where have found ourselves. We made a Falkirk team that have made plenty chances against better sides than us look fairly impotent and I'm taking that as a very solid starting point for Robinson given our last outing. It's obviously disappointing to concede such a late equaliser and that we didn't really create much but we didn't really look wide open at any point in the game either and that hasn't been the case for a while. Mordor next and this is probably the best time in the Rohl era to be getting them. Bottling two games against the tims at home on the bounce has pissed off the hordes big time. Bottle merchant seems to be the big criticism so perhaps there is hope for this one yet.

Six points the gap now between Killie and us. I'm slightly mair feart.

Over 70 minutes gone at Rugby Park Killie one up against Del's all conquering Diet Huns. From a personal perspective it is a little like watching your mother in law driving your new Porsche over a cliff

A fair few St Mirren fans have been moaning about that, saying it's obviously destabilised their dressing room since January as well as affecting Robinson. Saying we didn't want to pay the compensation. Unless they have inside knowledge it's pure speculation but possible. Could just as easily been the case that Robinson had no clue we were going to come in for him as we were publicly speaking to Lutz's preferred choices.

I heard it's because Dave Cormack can't stand that unfunny prick Michael McIntyre being on the telly so often.

[Not a limerick - apologies] Good King Cormack now looks out On a boss called Stephen His pass mess lies all about Deek and Doc and Leven Jim and Jimmy, Stephen Glass Barry fae the ‘rurie Warnock was a complete arse Piss up in a brewery…

Don't have an issue with it, but from a personal point of view couldn't get past the ask to donate money to a private company owned by significantly wealthy people.
