Dundee 1 St Johnstone 1, Dens Park, SPFL Premiership, 08-November-14

Dundee drew 1-1 with St Johnstone in a game spoiled by the Referee's performance, he had a big decision to make in the opening minutes when the Saints keeper fouled Clarkson in the box, but he booked the striker for diving when it looked like a penalty to Dundee and then the saints keeper  would have had to be shown the red card. Sadly for the game the Referee's performance got worse as the game went on and that is for the both sides.

Dundee had chances with Boyle and Clarkson unlucky not to score with good efforts, but just before the break good play from Stewart and he found David Clarkson in the six yard area and he netted his 6th goal for the club. Just after that St Johnstone should have had a penalty when Fraser was pulled back in the box but the Referee waved away the appealing saints players.

Second half and St Johnstone started to push Dundee back and it was no surprise when they levelled the game from the penalty spot after Graham had been adjudged to be fouled by McPake it looked very soft one, but the striker took it himself to make the score 1-1.

Both teams had chances with Dundee coming back into the game in the last 10 minutes with McPake nearly scoring with a back post header, Greg Stewart was tripped in the box but no whistle from the  Referee.

It ended 1-1 fair on the state of play with Dundee the better side in the first half and St Johnstone were the better side in the second half. The Referee had a day to forget and hopefully he will be better the next time he is at Dens Park.
