  1. Disappointed with the draw. Would have preferred East Renfrew v Renfrewshire Final. Where will the final be played? Hunted high and low to find the draw. Couldn't find any advance information.
  2. Have never understood players and management wanting, probably forced, to go to the supporters at the end of a match. An incident waiting to happen.
  3. It crossed the Glasgow Road and headed towards the main Paisley to Glasgow railway track close to the Barbers where the Lion sits above. The Lyon family ran a coal merchants business around the railway area and I would guess the family owned the house. In the late fifties Tom Lyon ran a taxi company. The typical railway arches are still in place at the bottom of Greenlaw Drive just before the entrance to Kelburne Cricket Club. The track then continued to join the main track at the side of the foot bridge that takes you to Gallowhill Road. Where the houses are at Arkleston Drive was what was called a shunting area. At one time there was 8 tracks in use. When the circus came to town the animals were brought by train to the shunting yard at Wallneuk before they were paraded to the Racecourse in Greenock Road.
  4. Agree, normally a few good games and then a run down to their pension.
  5. Who could Burnley sign despite the transfer window being closed? According to TEAMtalk, Burnley have broken through to strike a deal with Scottish Premiership side St Mirren to sign talented young centre-back Murray Campbell, who is seen as a 'potential star in the making' at Turf Moor, subject to international clearance. Interest in Campbell has been high-profile over recent times and it is believed that Burnley have stolen a march on the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Crystal Palace to bring the 17-year-old to England. Born in 2006, Campbell has been capped five times at Scotland Under-18 level and has also been courted by Sky Bet Championship side Leicester City in the past, as per The Daily Record.
  6. Not very funny. In fact stupid🥳 Success???
  7. I declare that I am a shareholder in St Mirren Foootball Club. What I fail to understand is why SMISA and Kibble each are allowed to appoint, not nominate, two representatives on the Board of St Mirren Football Club. When I purchased my shares I had the opportunity to vote in or out each and every Director at an AGM. This opportunity has now been removed. Even if Mr McMillan is found to have done a wrong, Kibble could continue with his appointment to the Club Board of Directors. If its true with the allegiance of two of the Directors elswhere they should be nowhere near our Boardroom. At least in the past we new the Directors were wearing Black and White scarves. Will they declare their interest in the event of any relevant matters that may come to a vote. e.g B teams in the pyramid system. I would certainly not have voted for Mr McMillan, being polite, since his body language at the AGM to me said it all. To continue to be successful on and off the field the Company require a united front and I dont think that is going to happen under the current convoluted management structure.
  8. If memory serves me correct Cunninghams route was Renfrew Ferry to Old Sneddon Street and ran empty into Moss Street and parked up until it the scheduled time to go back to the ferry leaving from County Square. I guess services were suspended for a few hours in 1959.
  9. Easy solution. Don't play them and they will lose a win bonus.
  10. I was carried away in memory lane. Correct it is right turn. Well done.
  11. Is it Cochrane Street, think I can see Priorscroft Bowling Club in the background. Well done. Spot on with Priorscroft Bowling Club.👏👏
  12. That was also my route and what we called "shortcut" . Cross footbridge into Wallace Street and instead of walking straight on to Love Street, turned left at junction of Back Sneddon which is where Irvine Caravan Showroom was exactly before turning into North Street. Later became a Plumber Merchants.
  13. Correction needed. You said on Monday that as BBC employee his opinions reflect on his employer. He is not employed by the BBC. He is self employed. Nor is he a public servant. The argument may be the same but his contract is not as an employee.
  14. Tut tut. How ironic his photo is one of the 50 photographs that reshaped sport posted here on Saturday.
  15. Probably stolen from the Citizen 1957 Scanned_20210801-0014.pdf
  16. Lucky you. After the build it was given. Usual disgraceful behaviour from Naymar feigning injury. The ref had to walk almost the whole length of the park before he got up. Ref got his revenge by booking him later in the game. Why do the pundits not start calling out these cheats. What talent he has but spoils it for me with his antics.
  17. Cards on the table, my knowledge of Kibble was walking past on my way to the racecourse many years ago. Surely the blame is being diverted from the real culprits. It is the Board of Directors of SMFC who should be lambasted. As previously mentioned the response at the AGM from probably the only person on the board with the building knowledge replied to the question of his involvement "I was not asked" he didn't need to be asked, he was in a position of responsibility to ensure that decisions in the interest of the club were approved. It gets worse, the follow up question asked "who was in charge" . After a pregnant pause our Chairman replied "Tony" followed by a follow up question who was in charge of Tony. Not once did our Chairman accept responsibility for this or our huge financial loss. At the end of the day our Chairman carries the can and should have resigned due to his incompetence and taken some of the others with him.
  18. Dear dear a poor show. Will your neighbours agree
  19. Contact Chris Stewart who resigned as a Director on the 23rd November 2021 but remained as Company Secretary. He can be contacted at Digby Brown.
  20. Agree wonderful picture. Not sure about Storie Street, close but I think it may be Canal Street. Canal Street Station and Stow Brae leading to Canal Street. Huge area for the coal merchants.
