Panda Posted October 18, 2025 Report Share Posted October 18, 2025 The referee is ruining the game. Some of the free-kicks and bookings have been comical. Disagree on Aouchiche @OrlandoDon, I think he's played well. Jensen and Karlsson both having good games too.

Panda Posted October 18, 2025 Report Share Posted October 18, 2025 Think the referee has expected a physical game and has decided to just try stamp down on everything when he doesn't need to. Actually, both teams are trying to play open attacking football. Been a few times where we're just crying out for someone on the edge of the box to smash home an attempted clearance. Draw probably fair at half-time. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/10737-saints-v-dandies/page/2/#findComment-269891
RicoS321 Posted October 18, 2025 Report Share Posted October 18, 2025 An okay first half, they're a decent side. Struggling to get the ball to stick up front, because they're very good at closing down the player on the ball very quickly. Karlsson looks like he might be struggling a bit with a knock (dead leg perhaps)? We're advancing the ball quite well, although some of our play has been a little slack in midfield, Armstrong in particular. Molloy not been a great outlet, but he's playing out of position, wouldn't mind seeing Keskinen on in his place early in the second. Nisbet good when he gets the ball into his feet, but it happens so rarely, the game just passes him by. Although it has to be said that the front three are working hard, just not getting much of a sniff. I think the balance is off with Aouchiche there, but I have a feeling that Clarkson would be the likely replacement which just brings the same problems. It's a game that has 1-0 written all over it!

Elgindon Posted October 18, 2025 Report Share Posted October 18, 2025 Been ok,without threatening too often.Definitely get Lazetic on for his buzyness and height.Often the only option on,has been a lob into the box Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/10737-saints-v-dandies/page/2/#findComment-269893

Actually, both teams are trying to play open attacking football. He's been okay. Neither booking was required, a simple telling off would have done. For their booking, Aouchiche played for the freekick rather than take the ball on, and I think those should never be rewarded with a booking for the opponent. For Jensen's, it was a case of maybe using his arm a bit, but there was still a fifty-fifty race for the ball, and not a booking. There's been a few little ones where it looks like he hasn't got a handle on things, but not too bad. I'd put him at the level of Molloy in our team!

RicoS321 Posted October 18, 2025 Report Share Posted October 18, 2025 Knoester's injury there, we were readying Dorrington. Given Molloy is on the park, surely we should have been looking to be more attacking and taking Keskinen on, and shifting Molloy back? Obviously a moot point, but quite telling.

Panda Posted October 18, 2025 Report Share Posted October 18, 2025 Just to clarify, St Mirren goal ruled out for offside, but it was subjective cos it was a challenge, hence the VAR check. Anyway, Jensen man. Bury that. Quote Link to comment https://dev.donstalk.co.uk/topic/10737-saints-v-dandies/page/2/#findComment-269905
