Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at McDiarmid Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' St. Mirren FC come into this ranked 6 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 10' The St. Johnstone FC bench stirs into life. Maksym Kucheriavyi is withdrawn and Sven Sprangler gets his opportunity.
  • 15' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both St. Johnstone FC and St. Mirren FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 20' It’s high time Craig Levein made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 25' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His St. Johnstone FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 30' Both keepers have barely been tested. St. Johnstone FC and St. Mirren FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 35' Over 35 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 40' The 37-year-old Ryan McGowan has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 45' A change in the St. Mirren FC ranks — Ryan Flynn exits the field as Conor McMenamin enters on 45.
  • 46' A tactical swap from St. Mirren FC — James Bolton on, Scott Tanser off on 46 minutes.
  • 51' It looks surprising St. Mirren FC does not make any changes. Ryan Flynn has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 56' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 61' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 62' St. Johnstone FC make a change. Diallang Jaiyesimi trudges off to be replaced by Chris Kane on 62 minutes.
  • 67' St. Mirren FC is showing some good football. However, St. Mirren FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 72' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 76' The St. Mirren FC bench stirs into life. Greg Kiltie is withdrawn and Keanu Baccus gets his opportunity.
  • 81' St. Johnstone FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined St. Mirren FC backline.
  • 83' A meaty challenge results in booking for Toyosi Olusanya on 83.
  • 88' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 89' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Sven Sprangler.
  • 90' Diallang Jaiyesimi has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 90.
  • St. Johnstone FC celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
