Craig Molloy started in midfield, replacing the suspended Hugh Murray, something which proves Ricky Gillies is on his way in the summer. If he isn't, why not play him over a youngster?
I wasn't at the game so this all comes from Scotsport, so I'll just descibe the goals, with both teams having various chances throughout the ninety minutes.
Saints took the lead after about half an hour, Kirk Broadfoot just beating Falkirk keeper Allan Ferguson to the ball. Broadfoot headed it and stroked it into the empty net with Ferguson on the ground. There was obviously contact, but the goal was given. Goalkeepers get away with far too much these days, and this wasn't a full on assault like John Terry in Euro 2004, so well done referee.
Falkirk equalised just before half time with some neat passing through the Saints defence, Darryl finishing off a tidy move.
Saints were dealt a blow in the second half when Craig Hinchcliffe had to be taken off due to injury. That meant that Stevie Woods, who was told on Friday he wasn't getting a new deal, made his first appearance of the season! Falkirk are champions yet couldn't score past him, interesting.
The winner came midway through the second half. Some comical defending from Mark Campell allowed Allan Russell to nick the ball off him. Actually that's not right, Campbell played the ball straight to him, and Russell finished brilliantly, giving Ferguson no chance.
Saints held on and finally the jinx was broken. The problem now is everyone exepcts for next season and I don't think we can live up to it.
Even Saints legend Tony Fitzpatrick said on Scotsport he expects us to do well next season. He managed to wind Jim Delahunt up brilliantly by saying he felt Saints would win yesterday. Well done Tony!
