We asked for your views on St Mirren’s 2-1 win against Aberdeen.
Here’s what some of you said:
Stevie: I thought Saints were to a man terrific. Work rate was exceptional. The manager and staff work so hard to install that work ethic and the players epitomise that. They had to do it for 96 minutes against the best Dons side we have seen in years. Well done Saints.
Sean: One of our most complete performances of the season. First half was a joy to behold, we harried Aberdeen relentlessly and should have been cruising by a few goals. As expected Aberdeen came out fast second half but we weathered the storm and got what we deserved. Alex Gogic, Richard Taylor, Greg Kiltie and Conor McMenamin were immense, a thoroughly deserved win.
Douglas: The three VAR decisions went our way but the initial red card for Gogic would have been a game changer, the correct use of VAR turned that decision over. We pressed them from the start and made it very difficult for their backs. Toyosi Olusanya especially made life uncomfortable for their defenders, his goal typified his strengths, speed and alertness.
Pedro: It was only a matter of time before the Dons’ extraordinary run of luck came to an end! Watch them lose the next 12 now.
Eric: That was a tactical masterclass by Stephen Robinson. We dominated the first half. When Aberdeen changed personnel in the second half and drew level, he changed to compensate and got the victory St Mirren deserved. Great job Robinson.
John: Thoroughly deserved three points in difficult conditions. Aberdeen have had a marvellous start to the season and were deservedly joint top, but I just felt we had enough to match them in the game. So it turned out. Let’s not talk about the officiating.
Alistair: That was worth the wait, a huge thank you to the people who managed to get down to the ground and helped the staff clear the pitch. The game was a brilliant advert for Scottish football and we were worthy of the three points, Scott Tanser runs down the wing for us.
Douglas: I was at the match and thought Saints man for man put in a wonderful display. They gave up most of the possession but looked really switched on with their high pressing game. Two great goals and didn’t panic when Aberdeen got the equaliser. Robinson must be so proud of his players.
