E=Mc2 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Too many heads went down too quickly against Partick. Stephen McGinn was not one of them. Whether you are 1, or 2, or 3, or 4, or even 5 goals behind a player should have enough pride to want to portray to his manager, his team mates, the opposition team, and his own team's fans, that in the next 5 minutes, then 10 minutes, then 15, that he is better than what has gone before.

Now we have this league cup set up and we've not done well, other teams have. Now, does this mean our season will be rubbish and we write it off? I don't think so! Other teams in the past have had poor starts and went on to win the league and this might be the case here. All this stuff about the new players being not good enough is a tad early IMO, i'd love for every new player to hit the ground running but it's far more common for them to take time settling in. In an ideal world they wouldn't need time and we'd have finished top of our league cup group. I'm going to do what i always do and give the first quarter of league games to judge the season. As I recall , most of the pre-season friendlies we played in recent times were very much a mixed bag and had little or no bearing on how the season went. .

Tommy Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 We're not the only team in this country having a poor pre season but when you read some on the nonsense posted on this forum, I sometime wonder if every 2nd saint fan is a boo boy given the amount of gloom and doom posts. It is only a football team FFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Pityme Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 You gotta laugh... innit..? apparently the league cup we won four short years ago is to be cherished, unless..! You go out quicker than a nipple in a wet t-shirt competition (gender neutral competition of course). then it suddenly becomes "pre-season" really, and something Jack and the boys had no chance of being prepared for, and not a priority. That is unless you are Livi or Plastic Thistle, obviously they didnt get the memo it was just "pre-season" and subsequently their respective teams went out and played to win.... whit fools eh..? i have to hold my hands up and say I thought "pre-season" was the friendly and bounce games you played, no cup, prize money or progression to play for. Like our games aginst the two pub teams in the highlands, and the bounce games. Again it seemed Alloa and Dundee didnt read the script and played like it meant something to them... what idiots they are. hopefully someone will work it all out and let Jack and the boys know when the get-go really is..? Then we can sit back and sip on the champagne football bubbling over at the 2021. Looking forward to when the real seson starts now, cannae wait.

I don't get people whining about other people on a football forum. Use ignore and move on, although there's no need for ignore as it only takes a second to flick over as I do with many posts that are not interesting to me. Personal taste and that's it. Too many use ignore for next to nothing, god help them in real life when they come across anyone that is different from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it Danny would still be here if Craig hadn't been undermining him. . Hmmmm, I'd genuinely question that. It wouldn't have been too long before Danny's unique ability to bring in players then pay them off would have seen him use up 1/3 of the next season's budget just doing that. That said, none of us really know the extent to which Tommy was undermining him during that final season.As for Jack and James, fully agree that at our level and on the back of last season they are great. Having spoken to Jack for a decent length of time it's obvious he respects the club, has a real feeling for it and wants the players to feel the same way.
