Euan Anderson is an arsehole.   Gives Annan afoul for a kick from behind.    Just after the same for Edinburgh without a free kick given.

They keep saying its a sell out at Gayfield , but there is  a lot of empty seats.

Is it an Easter Road type sell out?

[19/05/2012]

chris hamilton has been excellent so far winning the ball back 

[neilnunb]

This is guff. 😁

[Rudy T]

So far, On the evidence of both games, St Johnstone will pump either of these teams.

It looks like the home end is sold out, the opposite of Easter Road 🙂

Looks like that's the away section of the main stand, could be you get the choice to upgrade to a seat once you're in the ground, and it's a dry night so folk are taking advantage of proper terracing.

 

Maybe?

Big gaps behind goal tho could be fenced off. Not sure how this ground would be allowed in the premiership 

[All roads lead to Gorgie]

I've seen better quality football down the local park! Chronically bad.

Plenty of rumours going around that they'd have to play some, if not all, home games in Dundee.

[neilnunb]

The game is crying out for a Willie Collum moment.

I'd been looking forward to this game but it's been utter garbage. Was Chris Hamiltons shot which was inches wide (about 150 inches) the closest to a goal?

[BelgeJambo]

Inverness are an anti football team

 

Cmon Arbroath

Judging by this shitshow I’d doubt it’ll ever be an issue.

John Young the Arbroath coach looks like he's eaten Ronnie Corbett.

 

[HMFC01]

Danny Handling just missed a big chance to score.   Big miss.

Neither of these teams are beating St Johnstone on this showing. Maybe nerves but poor showing from both sides

[Kiwidoug]

Fantastic season for Arbroath.  Hope they win this but you'd have to think St Johnstone would be a bridge too far.

 

Remember new rangers finding that when Motherwell took about 20 off them. 😂

The media rave about them when they put six or seven past the likes of Hamilton but they lose in Europe and suddenly its not a level playing field 

Most of the teams Celtic lose to in Europe have a lower wage bill than them

[HMFC01]

Goal Edinburgh.   Good goal from long range.   Curled over the keeper.   Into the corner.   Murray. 

[DesertDawg]

Edinburgh City score!  2-1 now.  3-2 aggregate.

Apparently the licensing requirements for the Championship are identical to the Premiership, so Arbroath are fine.

Lovely goal too

[Percival King]

I wonder if Scotland is the only country where the commentator and pundit speak different languages.

Davie Irons is explaining about how it doesn't matter if you're losing on the night if you're winning the tie overall, insightful stuff.

Aye basically if it’s got a pitch and a few rickety old stands it’ll do. And they wonder how we struggle to promote the game up here!

[iantjambo]

This game is giving me a headache.

 

Brutal stuff

Charlie Adam 🤣🤣 not even hiding his impending move

Tbf those are my favourite types of grounds! Gayfield will be a cracking awayday, really hope they make it up

Yeah they’re good away days but let’s be honest it’s not exactly drawing the sponsors in. Wasn’t that long ago Hamilton had a bus parked behind the goal😂 If we want to start getting money into the game we’re going to have to start looking like a professional league rather than a Sunday league.

Pretty sure they were told it would be alright, without any groundsharing. 

 

I hope they come up!   Would be some change for the top flight, having Arbroath away as a fixture. Old school stadium, decent transport links - plenty of worse stadiums to go to!

I know what you're getting at but they do have nice stadia at Dunfermline and Falkirk......in League 1.  🥺

Wtf was that last effort. Controls it, steadies himself for a shot and puts it over the roof of the stand 😂

[Rick Sanchez]

I don't mind ICT. I even bought a ticket during lockdown. But looking at both the teams the only thing I don't want in the top flight is Billy Dodds.

 

So for that reason, Mon the Arbroath.

Im not so sure I’d say Dunfermlines is anything special but Falkirk were absolutely shat on having to build that stadium.

[neilnunb]

🤣 good effort Arbroath beardy

[HMFC01]

What a great save by Edinburgh keeper Brian Schwake.  Again he stops.    Unbelievable. 

Edited May 13, 2022 by HMFC01

City goalie playing an absolute blinder now 

[Boyces beard]

As bad as St Johnstone are, you would expect them to take care of Arbroath or ICT quite easily based on there performance tonight. Absolutely horrible to watch.

[HMFC01]

WTAF.   Clearly fouled but lino gives a throwin to Annan.  😂 

[garybwick]

I nearly got crushed as a 13 year old in 1978 last game of the season behind the goals when we needed to win for promotion, was jam packed, was scary stuff back then🙀

[OTT]

Are the Arbroath fans chanting paedo at ridgers?

No faith in Collum for next Sat now
