St. Mirren 1-5 Falkirk

Gone Back Home
By Jamie Cockburn December 4 2007
St. Mirren go second bottom in the SPL after a 5-1 thrashing to league rivals Falkirk. Chris Birchall had pulled his hamstring during the match and is now away back to Coventry earlier than planned. Birchall missed a chance to get saints back into the game but made up for it by setting up the goal for Billy Mehmet.

Pedro Moutinho opened the scoring for Falkirk with just five minutes on the clock. He squeezed through two defenders and then stab the ball by Chris Smith

 

Stephen Thomson double Falkirk’s lead when Higdon flicked the ball onto Thomson who volleyed the ball perfectly into the back of the net.

 

St. Mirren had the chance to get back into the game when Billy Mehmet crossed the ball into the box but the Birchall’s header went over the bar.

 

The saint’s defence looked in tatters due to Will Haining being suspended and it showed when Arfield sent the ball into the box and Graeme Barrett was unlucky not to score.

 

Aafjes sent a great cross into the St. Mirren box and Moutinho was there to slot his second goal of the game into the back of the net.

 

Five minutes after the interval St. Mirren gave the fans a glimmer of hope when Chris Birchall got away from his marker on the right and sent a dangerous ball into the box and Billy Mehmet sent the ball coolly into the back of the net.

 

Franco Miranda nearly got a second for the buddies when his free kick rifled off of the bar in 62 minutes and Marc Corcoran was unable to take advantage of the follow up.

 

Moutinho turned into the provider for Falkirk’s fourth goal when the head of Barrett met his cross and sent it passed Chris Smith.

 

St. Mirren’s dismal display was rounded off when Finnigan round Chris Smith and slotted the ball into the back of the net.
