St.Johnstone 0 Dundee 0, McDiarmid Park, First Division, 28/February/09.

Dundee failed to break down St.Johnstone on Saturday, the fans were asked to come early and I was in the ground at 14:15. Which was a bit of a shock for me,but seeing I was working that night it was understandable. In what was a good start by Dundee forcing a few corners but nothing came of them. The ball was up in the air too much as both teams cancelled each other out. McMenamin could have scored from a Antoine-Curier cross, but the ball was too behind him and saints cleared. Only other note was a Andrew Shinnie shot which just went over Main's cross bar. Saints had chances as well, but thought Milne took a dive in the box. My view is the ref was right. The second half was more of the same with few chances, and nobody able to get on the end of crosses and corners. The only save Main had was a shot by Shinnie which was deflected towards the goal, which he pushed away for a corner. So it ended 0-0 which was about fair overall.
Dundee: Douglas, Paton, Malone, McHale, MacKenzie, Cowan, Shinnie, Cameron, McMenamin, Antoine-Curier, Efrem. Subs Not Used: Roy, Lauchlan, Posniak, Daquin, Gilhaney.

In what was a poor game the only bonus was that we did not get beat, with Partick Th winning at least it puts pressue on St.Johnstone. Special word for the Dundee fans who turned up in great numbers....pity we could not get that winning goal.
