Know the Ref - Falkirk away

Mr Boyle has done just six SPL games this season, and one of those was arguably where Saints rot set in. We were just seconds away from beating Aberdeen on a Tuesday night before they equalised with the last touch of the ball. Gus MacPherson moaned (unsurprisingly) about the fourth official taking away the board as he tried to make a sub, but that's hardly Mr Boyle's fault.

His only other Saints game to date was last season, which saw us win at Easter Road and Hibs had Dean Shiels sent off.

Mr Boyle's only Falkirk game so far this season was at Dundee United, where they lost and had Darren Barr sent off. His only other games come in the 2006/07 season when Falkirk beat Berwick in the Scottish Cup and Dundee United - who had Lee Wilkie sent off - in the SPL.

This season, Mr Boyle has shown six yellow cards - although the one in his most recent game was his first since January. To be honest, he could send off the whole Falkirk team for us on Saturday and we'll still end up going down and I'd imagine he'll be relatively blameless if we do lose on Saturday.
