St Johnstone Goalless but entertaini­ng

- SJ

It was perhaps to be expected after last week’s wins over the Old Firm that the game would end up a goalless draw.

Tommy surprised quite a few supporters by starting the same eleven as at Ibrox. Did he surprise the Hearts boss? The driving wind and rain made life difficult for players and they deserve great credit for providing an entertaini­ng spectacle. Saints probably played their best football of the season at home. Tommy was proved right Saints can play good football. Most football supporters want first and foremost to be entertaine­d and will accept defeat more easily if they have seen their team play well. No scoring draws are rarely entertaini­ng, this was one of the exceptions.
