St Johnstone that bad?

[goldson bollocks]

Beaten at home to Ross County tonight, are they as bad to expect taking points off them on Sunday or am I just clutching at straws here? Personally can't see it, but in no way did I expect St Mirren to take something tonight. Would absolutely be superb but if we get our 3 points on Sunday and they drop again.

 

[Big Buff]

They're the worst team in the league this season.

If Celtic drop points there, this thing is over.

 

[Roscoblue]

They’ll take points on Sunday.

 

[SouthsideBlue]

They don’t tend to concede many goals and Celtic struggled to score tonight and won’t have any extra players back. Imagine if St Johnstone get the first goal.

 

[BRaven]

A couple of errors apart, they actually gave Them a game in the semi.

Wouldn’t rule them out on their own patch.

 

[ShieldhallBear]

They opened up and played against Ross County. It’ll be 11 behind the ball at the weekend on a snowy, rotten pitch. If the scum have the same team available then you never know.

 

[goldson bollocks]

They don’t tend to concede many goals and Celtic struggled to score tonight and won’t have any extra players back. Imagine if St Johnstone get the first goal.

They've struggled to score last 2 away games, apart from a 97th minute, so keeping optimistic.

 

[Sir Know it All]

They looked a team ready to go down against us, terrible other than the Man U coached players

 

[Gramps1]

They need to get something or the manager is toast.

No way will he play the same tactics as they did tonight.

 

[bobba]

got to turn it around eventually

 

[1690]

Not sure they're weaker than a covid-riddled St Mirren. Time will tell.

 

[St Andrews Bear]

Aye I’m sure Sean Rooney, MFOH, Liam Craig, Jamie Mccart, liam Gordon and Stevie May will
all be bursting a gut to beat their hero’s and effectively end their title challenge

 

[ricksen24]

Pitch looked awful tonight might help a bit

 

[Baldrick]

They are desperate for points, they could be adrift if they get beat on Sunday. This should be a hard game for the unwashed.

 

[RWB92]

St Johnstone at home vs us or them is a totally different game for them compared to their game against Ross county. Hope they find their defensive game from last year

 

[Hurricane Run]

Fancy St Johnstone to take a draw. That pitch usually cuts up pretty bad after a spell of bad weather

Would be class if they did and the went straight on the winter break, with 2 weeks to stew on it

Yet the team they played tonight their manager was at their game on Sunday with his kids draped in Celtic gear.

The reality is most players in the country will have leanings for us or them.

 

[Thewandofpedro]

One thing is for sure - 0-0 after 30 mins or at half time and they’ll be reaching for the Andrex. Or glue.

 

[Mols 9]

They will drop points there on Sunday and we will beat St Mirren.

Just a pity we can't skelp them infront of their own on the 2nd

 

[jaws73]

Whilst they don't put the ball in the pokey that much they actually don't concede that many. Playing a Boxing Day team that couldn't hit a coo's arse with a banjo at the moment 0-0 wouldn't be a surprise.

No rhabids in the stands puting undue pressure on the ref either (mind you it is Clancy).

 

[Ally’s Golden Boot]

After watching Nonce FC tonight I will be putting a few quid on St Johnstone double chance. They don’t lose a lot of goals, unfortunately they can’t score either.

 

[linthousebear1981]

St Johnstone are a weird team. They have not conceded a lot of goals when you look around the league and compare. They have conceded less than 4th in the table Motherwell.

They just have no creativity and no goalscorer.

They also lost 2 of their better players in Kerr and McCann and really didn't replace or replace them with similar quality. They are organised and hard to breakdown. We seen it at Ibrox, they were shit but resolute. We have to hope they are organised and ready and Celtic are as bad as they were tonight.

 

[Burgh-Ger]

Aye I’m sure Sean Rooney, MFOH, Liam Craig, Jamie Mccart, liam Gordon and Stevie May will

Would you not try just as hard?

I would, imagine being a local lad and getting to play Rangers and Celtic

 

[Puggy]

They're fucking rotten. I don't know how they became so shite.

Double cup winners last season, Now bottom of the league this season with 3 wins in 19 games.

Still fancy them for a draw on Sunday though

 

[Davie Weir]

Aye I’m sure Sean Rooney, MFOH, Liam Craig, Jamie Mccart, liam Gordon and Stevie May will

The majority of players in Scotland will support us or them it really won’t change the way they play. Especially not in a team like St Johnstone where they could lose their jobs very soon if they go down.

Also don’t think that list is very accurate btw

 

[Arkanoid]

They’ll take points on Sunday.

Davidson should be unhappy if they drop 2 points, 3 points are there for the taking if he can get a one off cup performance out of them

 

[thefortytwa]

The pitch is looking terrible, survive the first half hour an make it a long slog for the rats, panic will set in.

 

[ChildOfGoth]

Bad pitch bad team so can only see them pulling a draw on boxing day and staying bottom

 

[Casper Kent]

They’re dreadful. Celtic will win on Sunday but as long as we do too, it’s been a great week for us going into the earlier break now 6 ahead. All guns blazing post break and let’s go and wrap this thing up ASAP.

 

[Pliskers]

Hopefully they will go into the game with a nothing to loose approach and got for it big time. They are due a result.

 

[Diego Maradona]

Yes, they’ll get relegated

 

[Dotty_84]

They've been poor but they've got to see this as a scalp and a kick-start to their season. The scum are dugmeat, if St J lost a few players and resulting in a St Mirren scenario and doing the basics right, Celtic wouldn't break through them either.

 

[bailliestontrueblues]

Let’s see if they can handle the pressure of having to win on a ploughed field against a team who are desperate for points without the Japanese eye.

 

[AriseSirWalter]

We end up making it look easy when they came to Ibrox recently but before we scored I thought SJ looked decent defensively.

If cel’ic don’t score early they could drop a couple more points. If they’re without Kyogo and Jota there’s every possibility. Watched the last 20 mins of their game tonight and SM were camped in their own 18 but cel’ic had what looked like underage defenders on the edge of the box with no idea what to do with it.

Laughable how poor their squad is.

 

[sonofbunk]

They can’t score, so will probably go down. I think they will lose an early goal on Sunday - but I’m a pessimist.

 

[Murray the Bear]

StM were on a 10 game no win run.

StJ are due a turnaround.

Another draw please.

 

[Murray the Bear]

Let’s see if they can handle the pressure of having to win on a ploughed field against a team who are desperate for points without the Japanese eye.

Pitch looked bad tonight....cant possibly improve in only 4 days at this time of year.

 

[Albertz_Was_King]

Easily the worst side I’ve seen for a good while.

They are absolutely awful.

The reality is most players in the country will have leanings for us or them.

Teams n Scotland will be full of fans of us and the scum. If they're playing the team they hate they want to stuff them, if they are playing the team they support they will burst a gut to get noticed.

Just my opinion but I believe only the sheep don't put as much effort in against the scum, probably due to their fans not going mental so much as they do against us.

 

[Blue114]

Remember the Scottish media were saying Davidson for manager of the year last season… no wonder Gerrard fùcked off at the first opportunity…
The football in every aspect could be so much better in this cesspit of a country, it’s staring everyone right in the face, but as long as the Tim’s get every chance available, it’s fùcked…. Imagine having a season of toe to toe proper football, of course mistakes would happen, but everyone would just get on with it … Obviously I’ve had a few beers and I’m talking pish lol…

 

[SE5]

Just backed them at 10/1

 

[Ally’s Golden Boot]

Easily the worst side I’ve seen for a good while.

They are absolutely awful.

They are. They also have a great chance of taking points off the nonces.

I said 2 weeks ago the filth will drop points before the 2nd. I genuinely believe St Johnstone will take something on Boxing Day. The filth were awful tonight against a team full of youths.

 

[GovanFront4]

They were absolutely awful at Ibrox, still though, a backs to the wall job isn’t out the question.

 

[LRM]

Really don't see them staying up.. absolutely allergic to scoring goals - 9 goals total this season? Not out of the question that Dundee or Ross County fall to bits, but StJ would have to make some good moves in January to help themselves.

 

[Al khobar-ger]

Middleton to score a last minute winner on Boxing Day , you heard it here first

 

[Captain_Buns]

They don’t tend to concede many goals and Celtic struggled to score tonight and won’t have any extra players back. Imagine if St Johnstone get the first goal.

Scoring goals is St Johnstone’s problem.

 

[ForGodForCountryForever]

Scoring goals is St Johnstone’s problem.

Creating anything is STJs problem.

Scoring goals is a subsequent problem that they cant even start to fix without the former.

Its been that way for a long, long time and you look at the players they have, really there are no solutions to be found there. Really poor signings (on the rare occasion they make them).

They are dreadful.

 

[JohnD]

Davidson will be getting his P45 shortly.

 

[MearnsUnionist]

Personally can't see it, but in no way did I expect St Mirren to take something tonight. Would absolutely be superb but if we get our 3 points on Sunday and they drop again.

Just like Celtic, they are struggling to score goals.

2 well matched sides.

 

[Mersh55]

They need a break, lets hope its their next game - now that would a lovely end to the year.
