Stu Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) When Alex Miller was appointed last year I remember various people on here getting all misty eyed about him turning up for his first training session as Saints boss in a Rangers shirt. I'd argue that's a far worse crime than splitting the team up for practice games, although I'd prefer neither to be happening. Back in the 1980s Rangers used to split into England v Rest of the World for their training games, with Souness playing for the England team. Suppose Protestants v Catholics would have been a bit one sided... Edited September 17, 2016 by Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the one game I played Brian McGinlay was the ref. Obviously I didn't fit into either category, but was deemed a Tim as my surname "made me sound like a Tim". The other 'keeper was a Morton supporter and he ended up in goals for the ****. That was the early 80's though.

Guest TPAFKATS Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 I appreciate that journos can write stories to present a certain view, however I'm disappointed in Goodwin for coming out with this when our current manager is under pressure. Thought he was better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was better than that. As it stands he's not employed by the club so can say whatever he likes. Far better to know that he still holds a flame for the buds and would entertain an approach than saying nothing then being overlooked if the situation did arise.

stlucifer Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) I might take a wee peek at the game tonight to see if Jim stays on the park. 'Mon the wasps! Edited September 21, 2016 by stlucifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlucifer Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 So far, so good. Alloa standing strong. Celtic not near to scoring. Gordon should be off the park! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Dickson Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Big Jim was to blame for that goal. Dunno what he was doing trying to get the back with the back of his heel as it dropped over his head. Would have been far better just getting back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it kind of sums him up though. Anytime I watched him you could see the ability, the determination and the desire about him, but you knew that there was going to be at least one moment of utter madness from him that would often be costly. I feel sorry for Alloa though. From what I saw of the game they looked well organised and did a fine job of frustrating Celtic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had no time to turn and tried all he could to stop the ball from going past him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam M Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 I was shouting at the TV at Goodwin for the first goal. Typical Goodwin strolls through the game, then makes that one costly mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habbiesaint Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Did Jim not set the striker up for the chance that should have seen Gordon sent off? He should still be at st mirren in one capacity or another, absolute travesty to let him go, sure he might not be the most gifted of players out there but he certainly makes up for it with his work ethic.

nedflanders123 Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Jim was blowing out his arse after an hour. He did well but I doubt he can last 90 minutes at a higher level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
