Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between St. Johnstone FC and Livingston FC is underway.
  • 3' Callum Hendry adds to his 0 season tally! St. Johnstone FC lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 3' A moment of madness from Jack Fitzwater on 3 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Livingston FC will be frustrated.
  • 8' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Murray Davidson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 13' A meaty challenge results in booking for Callum Hendry on 13.
  • 18' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering St. Johnstone FC that had 251 games and scored 244 goals.
  • 23' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Livingston FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 28' Both keepers have barely been tested. St. Johnstone FC and Livingston FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 33' The 29-year-old Jamie McCart has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 36' A change in the St. Johnstone FC ranks — Tony Gallacher exits the field as Callum Booth enters on 36.
  • 41' Joel Nouble is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Livingston FC tonight.
  • 46' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 46 minutes.
  • 48' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Scott Pittman.
  • 53' It looks surprising St. Johnstone FC does not make any changes. Cameron MacPherson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 58' St. Johnstone FC is showing some good football. However, St. Johnstone FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 62' Livingston FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 66' Livingston FC ring the changes. Stephane Omeonga has done his job and it is now time for Sean Kelly to step up.
  • 71' The home supporters are growing impatient. St. Johnstone FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 74' The whistle greets Nadir Ciftci as he departs to be replaced by Stevie May.
  • 79' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 81' It’s a booking for St. Johnstone FC player. Murray Davidson gets a Yellow card.
  • 86' Nicky Devlin has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 88' It is a substitution in St. Johnstone FC team. Melker Hallberg is replaced by Cameron MacPherson on 88 minute.
  • 89' Alistair Crawford makes way for Jacob Butterfield at the 89 minute mark. A tactical switch from St. Johnstone FC.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from St. Johnstone FC to claim maximum points.
