St Mirren v Livi - Tue 25th Aug '15

Excellent result. Pittman was a standout - the best player on the park. Glad to see that we played conventionally with a back 4 comprising two full backs and two centre backs. Midfield was excellent, especially in the first hour or more. Hippo, Gibbons and Buchanan all played their parts too in a hugely improved performance from the weekend. Credit to Burchill for ringing the changes.
Shame about Mullen. Should have been substituted (in the way that Goodwin was for them) to prevent being sent off. They didn't give us the ball back from a throw in and Mullen either lost the plot or slipped. Either way, he ought to have been subbed at half time because he was on a booking and was very lucky to avoid a second one.
Think Millen at right back has excellent runs up and down the pitch and his deliveries from corners and free kicks will bear fruit throughout the season.
I imagine Saturday will be a bloodbath as a follow up to a few of tonight's grudges.
Congratulations to the squad and the management team. Totally transformed from the performance of a few days ago. Let's get these sort of performances regularly in the league and we'll pick up our fair share of points.

To give St Midden every chance of getting another goal. 

Gald they hey are out of the cup, but we need to watch ourselves on Saturday tho. 

I pi was worried for my safety with the way some of the St Midden supporters were acting tonight. 

Great result last night, thought we played very well as aunit, everyone put in a shift, stupid sending off but that in itself is a great news to be honest, I will touch on that in a bit.

Got agree with the postings above, Pittman stand out player, Myles - he was just simply class at times. Gordon`s deliveries into the box from the corners were brilliant. Declan at the back was superb. Cole put a great shift in, however without naming each individual the whole team barring 2 played superbly.

We dominated both halfs, St Mirren looked lack lustre, sloppy, they seemed to lack direction from the bench (welcome to our world boys....)and at time all though when they broke or caught us napping they attacked in numbers you did not feel they were that much of a threat. Great stadium though, good response from the Livi fans, 108 at last nights game, this was shown on the electronic scoreboard.

So we will end, and already I can feel the knives going into the back, however, I mentioned Danny Boy. Well, I do not think he has the physical strength to do the role that he does. He seems to fall over too quickly at every tackle or when he tries to hold the ball he simple falls to the ground, this was really apparent on Saturday against Falkirk and on occasions early on in the game as soon as he touches a player, down he goes like a sack of spuds. Dont get me wrong when he is on his game he a competent player but for me is far to quick tempered, and he was lucky to last as long as he did in the game, and quite honestly would have had a better game up in the stand beside me in the second half. A suspension is good news, we have others that take his role, and he may struggle to get back in the squad if others can prove their worth.

Finally it is all right scoring goals but we have to keep them out. Player no 2 who in my opinion apart from one late stop in the second half our statue himself in goals. I honestly when a pass back or goal kick out, or a cross ball, my snuggies get filled very quickly. No doubt the cause of the first goal and their second let you decide, however even at 2 - 2 I was not worried, we showed more grit and determination to merit winning the game.

Need to carry cup form into the league. Cup run is always nice but don't want another season with possibility of relegation

That's like saying "Don't complain that I kicked your head in when you wouldn't give me the ball" They were unsporting but that doesn't justify a tackle that could (and in this case did) cause an injury.

They incited the incident with their bad sportsmanship. LIVItv haven't shown the tackle, another day and it's too late for the compliance officer to do anything, think he has 3 days to make an offer to a player. All I would say though is we've never seen Mullen do anything like that before so would like to think it wasn't deliberate.

hack, I don't disagree with the concept but you're comparing two completely different levels of behaviour. I agree too with jonsnow, Mullen is not a thuggish player but if we were behind in a game & we gave the ball back I can guarantee there would be a fair number amongst our fans who would immediately slate the player who did so.

This is why when a player is injured the ref should stop the play & restart with a contested drop-ball like they did in the good old days; but the refs have abdicated the responsibility & wait for players to put it out.
