Great Team Goal or Taking the P

I don't think its taking the mickey.  Some teams can keep possession well and its part of the game - keep possession and the other team cant score.  There was a little bit of showboating, but you cant hack them down in the box.  There was plenty of opportunities to leave a leg hanging in the build up, that's where the play should have been broken up.

Somebody had posted that video on Twitter or Facebook or whatever with the question "is this the best goal ever scored in Scotland?". Answer,  IMO is that it's nowhere even close. Given the time of the game, the score and the energy Saints had expended (not to mention the refereeing decisions they'd been on the end of), they'd clearly given up by then. A lot of the passes weren't even that good, and a sharper team or one less tired would have cut them out. The final interplay, pointless "Rabona" apart was nicely executed but that's about it.

Agreed. People love to gush over a goal like this because every player touched it, or because there were so many passes, but most of them were entirely straightforward, quite a few should have been cut out, and the marking was (understandably) non existent.
