It was a fantastic finish to the game and I believe we deserved it."
Stephen Robinson gave his reaction following our dramatic 2-1 win at home to Aberdeen.
It was the late, late, late show from Saints against Aberdeen as they conjured an escape to victory that even Sylvester Stallone would have deemed far fetched.
The Buddies had been behind from the first minute, an absolute screamer of a goal from Connor Barron. But despite Saints dominating the possession and creating chances throughout, it looked like that goal would be enough to give Neil Warnock his first win as Aberdeen manager.
But in added time, Saints were awarded a free-kick for a foul just outside the box on Toyosi Olusanya. Then VAR intervened and, after a lengthy delay, decided the foul had been inside the box. Returning skipper Mark O'Hara was cool, calm and collected from the spot to level things up.
Given the afternoon it had been, the fans would probably have been satisifed with a point but Saints weren't finished. As play resumed, Conor McMenamin flighted a ball into the box, the ball was headed back across goal by Mikael Mandron and Olusanya stabbed it into the roof of the net, sparking scenes of bedlam on the park and around three-quarters of the stadium as no points became a deserved three in the blink of an eye.
The away side hit the front in the opening seconds. The Saints defence seemed to have snuffed out the threat of Duk but the ball found its way to Barron around 30 yards from goal. The visiting support shouted at him to shoot and he duly did, unleashing a thunderbolt that sailed past Zach Hemming into the top corner to give the Dons the best possible start. Watching FIFA president Gianni Infantino would have been impressed.
Greg Kiltie's shot was easily dealt with by Kelle Roos as Saints tried to respond. They could have been level when the Dons goalie tipped Scott Tanser's header onto the post, resulting in a scramble that saw Lewis Jamieson's attempt to smash the ball home deflected wide – the VAR check that followed eventually deciding there was nothing worthy of a penalty.
Hemming got down well to parry Duk's shot as the visitors looked to double their lead before Jamieson went close again, meeting Caolan Boyd-Munce's inviting ball over the top with a tremendous volley that clipped the top of the bar, possibly with a bit of help from Roos. Mikael Mandron then went close with a header before another VAR check came up blank.
Jamieson was replaced by Toyosi Olusanya at the break but it was the Dons who threatened Hoilett drawing a good save from Hemming – although it proved irrelevant as the flag then went up for offside. That wasn't an issue when the ball fell to Graeme Shinnie 20 yards out but the Saints keeper saved easily. A neat passing move from the home side ended with Boyd-Munce picking out Elvis Bwomono but his volley found the side netting seconds before he was replaced by McMenamin, Jonah Ayunga replacing Kiltie at the same time.
Boyd-Munce smashed a shot over when the ball broke to him at the edge of the box before Aberdeen threatened again, Killian Phillips volleying over and Bojan Miovski firing a low free-kick straight at Hemming. Mark O'Hara and Richard Taylor replaced Boyd-Munce and Bolton as Robinson threw his final roll of the dice. Midway through four minutes of stoppage time Saints were awarded a free-kick just outside the box when Devlin fouled Olusanya – only for VAR to get involved for a third time. After what seemed like an eternity, it finally decided the foul had been inside the box. Skipper O'Hara was given responsibility from the spot and slotted it away with aplomb.
The lengthy delay meant four minutes of stoppage time was looking like a pipe dream and Saints took full advantage of the extra minutes. McMenamin crossed a ball to the back post for Mandron to head back across and Olusanya got in front of his man to force it into the net. There were limbs in the stands and scenes on the pitch as every player, including Hemming, celebrated an amazing turnaround.
There were still a few minutes to play but mentally Aberdeen were done, some visiting players sinking to the ground at full-time as the Buddies celebrations really got going.

The club would like to remind supporters of parking restrictions in and around The SMiSA Stadium on matchdays. Please click here for the full update.

At the SMiSA Stadium we have an electronic ticketing system in place at the turnstiles.
The process of using the system is fairly straight-forward and easy to use:
The whole process will only take a few seconds.
Please note that there will be stewards in attendance to help where required.
The Club has been made aware of problems occasioned by inconsiderate parking in the area of Tannahill Road.
Seemingly supporters are parking despite the presence of double yellow lines and as a consequence local bus routes are also being blocked because streets in this area are narrow and fans are parking on both sides. People, many of whom are elderly, are having to walk from Greenhill Road to their homes because buses can’t get access.
Residents who have cars parked in driveways are experiencing similar difficulties getting their vehicles in and out. On being approached by local residents some supporters have been somewhat aggressive which could lead to confrontation.
St Mirren Football Club strives to be a good neighbour and we would ask that ALL supporters attending the stadium not only park in accordance with local parking restrictions but also give consideration to the needs of local residents by parking sensibly so as not to occasion an unnecessary obstruction.
We are also aware of problems with patrons parking at the front of the Main Stand to pick up disabled supporters at the end of the game. This area is a 'no parking' zone on match days (with cones on the road) and has to be kept clear for emergency access. It is an inappropriate location for disabled spectator uplifts, as not only does it cause an obstruction on the road, it also causes a danger to pedestrians leaving the stadium.
Please note that the designated pick-up/drop off points are either in Drums Avenue or the two lay-byes on Ferguslie Park Avenue.
BY ROAD
Follow signs for Paisley & Glasgow Airport. Exit the M8 at Junction 29 (St James’ Interchange) which is just after Glasgow Airport turn off if travelling east to west. Be careful not to exit on to the A737 which is signposted for Irvine. It is best to stay in the middle lane when passing the Airport as this leads naturally to the St James’ Interchange exit.
At the interchange take the first left onto a dual carriageway with some football parks on the left hand side. Follow this road and after a sharp right hand bend you should now be in Greenock Road. Then take your first right on to Clark Street and drive to the end of the street which is the junction with Greenhill Road, turn left and you will see the stadium on the opposite side of the road.
BY RAIL
Get train from Paisley Gilmour Street to Paisley St James – exit from the station is straight onto Greenhill Road where the stadium is facing you. To plan your journey by rail with Scotrail please click HERE.
BY BUS
Most buses will stop at Paisley Cross or Mill Street, from both you will see the Paisley Town Hall. From the Town Hall cross the High Street towards the Piazza Shopping Centre, when acoss walk towards the town centre until you come to Gilmour Street. Turn right on to Gilmour Street and walk towards the railway station which is about 150 yards away. From there you can get train to Paisley St James or if you prefer to walk the following routes are advised by the police:
Home fans: cross road to the left on to St James Street – follow through up Underwood Road then turn right at Greenhill Road where stadium is 200 yards further along the road. Access to the Main Stand is from Greenhill Road and the South and West Stands will be accessed from Drums Avenue.
Away fans: cross road to Love Street continue up the street till you come to Albion Street where you will turn left. Follow Albion Street until you come to the junction with Greenock Road where you will turn right. Cross the road then walk about 200 yards before taking your first left on to Clark Street. Walk straight up Clark Street to the end of the street which is the junction with Greenhill Road, turn left and you will see the the stadium on the opposite side of the road. Access to the North Stand will be from Ferguslie Park Avenue.
St Mirren Football Club is delighted to confirm that Toyosi Olusanya has agreed a one-year contract extension with the club that will keep him at Saints until summer 2025.
The 26-year-old forward joined the club in summer 2022 from English Championship side Middlesbrough on an initial two-year deal that was due to expire at the end of the season.
Toyosi told stmirren.com: "I'm very pleased.
I love it here with the boys, the manager and the fans together it feels like home.
"The manager told me he believes in me and what he wants me to continue doing. I feel like he has got so much out of me as a player and a person so I was really happy to sign the new deal and continue working under him."
Toyosi made his debut in the Viaplay Cup against Arbroath in July 2022 but a toe injury meant he would found game time limited during his first season at Saints and, ironically, he would join the Red Lichties on loan in January 2023 until the end of the 2022/23 season.
The forward returned to the club ahead of the 2023/24 season and scored his first goal for Saints when he netted the winner in our Viaplay Cup group stage match away to Cowdenbeath in July. Toyosi would then score on our cinch Premiership opening day win away to Hibernian in August. He has followed that up with a further two goals, with those coming in February at home to Dundee and in Tuesday night's 1-1 draw with Ross County.
He becomes the latest player to extend his stay at Saints after defender James Bolton also agreed a one-year extension last month.
Manager Stephen Robinson added: "I think Toyosi has got better and better.
"At the moment he is coming off the bench and causing real problems and his goal now is to break into the team and become a starter which we feel he can do.
He's a super kid," the manager continued. "He's a lovely boy around the place. He's certainly a big asset to us and one we're delighted to sign."

St Mirren return to The SMiSA Stadium in cinch Premiership action on Saturday as we play host to Aberdeen.
The Buddies drew 1-1 with Ross County on Tuesday night to move within a point of fourth place in the cinch Premiership. Stephen Robinson's sit seven points ahead of sixth place Dundee and have won three, drawn one and lost one of our previous five league matches.
Aberdeen come into Saturday's match on the back of a 2-0 loss at home to St Johnstone on Wednesday night. The Dons haven't won in the league since appointing Neil Warnock as manager until the end of the season, drawing two and losing three of their last five league matches. They are in ninth place in the cinch Premiership - five points behind sixth place Dundee.

St Mirren defeated Aberdeen 3-0 at Pittodrie when the sides last met in December. Mark O'Hara, Jonah Ayunga and Greg Kiltie were all on the scoresheet as Saints ran out deserved winners in the Granite City.
The Buddies were heading for all three points when Aberdeen visited The SMiSA Stadium in August having come from behind at half-time to lead 2-1. But the Dons levelled with an injury time penalty kick to take a point back to Aberdeen.
Greg Kiltie has scored in both of our fixtures against Aberdeen this season.
The referee on Saturday is Nick Walsh and he'll be assisted by Frank Connor and John Stewart. Calum Scott is the Fourth Official.
Kevin Clancy is the video assistant referee (VAR) and he's assisted by Gordon Crawford.
St Mirren Football Club can confirm it has spoken to the Scottish Football Association’s Referee Department regarding the decision not to check for a penalty after a handball in Tuesday night’s draw with Ross County.
The club believes VAR made an error by not recommending an On-Field Review following a handball by a Ross County defender in the first-half.
Having been allowed to review the full VAR audio and footage it is clear there has been a mistake in the process. There was a quick VAR review that centred around a shirt pull on James Bolton in the box. We also believe this could have been a penalty but understand that is subjective. However, the handball was a factual event, and the Referee Department has agreed that this should have led to an On-Field Review.
While we welcome continued independent reviews aimed at making the process as robust as possible, and appreciate the openness and transparency from the Referee Department in reviewing this incident, we remain frustrated and disappointed that the correct process wasn’t followed on this occasion.
We've got four points from the last two games and we go into Saturday's game confident."
Stephen Robinson gave his reaction to our 1-1 draw with Ross County.
A late Toyosi Olusanya goal grabbed Saints a share of the spoils in Dingwall as the Buddies drew 1-1 with Ross County.
An early Jordan White goal looked to have given the hosts all three points, but substitute Olusanya levelled with less than five minutes of normal time remaining to ensure Saints took a point back to Paisley.
Stephen Robinson named the same starting eleven that defeated St Johnstone on Saturday, while Mark O'Hara returned to the bench following injury in place of Ryan Flynn.
The hosts took an early lead after an uncharacteristic mistake from Alex Gogic on 11 minutes. The defender misplaced his attempted back-pass for Zach Hemming which allowed Jordan White to race on to the ball, round the goalkeeper and knock into the empty net to open the scoring.
County were buoyed by their lead but it was Saints who would have the next opportunity when a deflected strike from Caolan Boyd-Munce on the edge of the area that was well pushed away by goalkeeper George Wickens.
Saints were seeing more of the ball as they looked for an equaliser. Greg Kiltie played a dangerous ball across the face of the Ross County box on 25 minutes but there were no takers for the Buddies.
The visitors were denied a stonewall penalty in the final minutes of the first-half when County captain Ryan Leak handled the ball in the box. Hemming's long free-kick floated all the way into the box where Leak's hand was outstretched above his head but both the referee and VAR seemingly missed the incident.
The Buddies looked to start the second-half quickly with Wickens making a decent save to turn away a curling effort from Lewis Jamieson inside the first minute of the restart. But with not much happening in the opening exchanges of the second 45, the manager made two changes just after the hour mark with Keanu Baccus and James Scott introduced in place of Hyeokkyu Kwon and Kiltie.
Scott had an opportunity within four minutes of his introduction when he was found by Jamieson on the left-hand side of the box. The forward took a good touch to fashion the chance but saw his hit blocked by Michee Efete.
With just under 20 minutes remaining Saints made a further triple change as Jaden Brown, Toyosi Olusanya and Jonah Ayunga entered the fray with Elvis Bwomono, Jamieson and Mikael Mandron making way. Ayunga had a go from range within 90 seconds of coming on but the low strike drifted harmlessly wide.
Saints would find an equaliser on 86 minutes when substitute Olusanya got himself in front of Loick Ayina to meet a Baccus header on and showed great composure to knock the ball beyond Wickens. There was a brief VAR check for offside but the goal stood.
The Buddies should have won it a minute later when Scott was sent clear by Olusanya but he prodded wide of the target with Saints heading back down to Paisley with a point.
