  1. The Saville twins? So called because, in the 70s one of them looked like the guy in the clunk-click advert (cue Frankie Boyle joke). I saw them at the Ayr away game in February.
  2. Motherwell seem to do it on a regular basis.
  3. Was nowhere near £400K, more like £225K-250K. Stickroth was £400K though.
  4. We had three of those this season. One has gone, one is rumoured to be attracting attention and one is John Sutton.
  5. I'm pretty sure the last time we had one of those, in the league anyway, was THIRTY SEVEN years ago.
  6. Will probably play right mid once Magennis moves to centre mid.
  7. I don't know what the deal is either. I was replying to a post stating that "add-ons don't work" and, to refute that, gave some examples where they have benefited the selling club.
  8. The irony made me chuckle. DU are about to get close to £1M from Hull selling Robertson to Liverpool Hamilton got much the same when the turmcoat McCarthy went from Wigan to Everton. Celtic could get £5M if Van Dijk goes for £50M as has been widely touted.
  9. Not the first lead singer to hang himself on the 18th of May 37 years ago, jeezo.
  10. That's going to be a long depressing trip back up the road.
  11. Partick 0 Celtic 3 Ex-Saints keeper Mark Ridgers come on as a HT sub for Thistle.
  12. I didn't say he was a replacement for Mallan. I replied to your post that "Midfielders who score double figure goals in consecutive seasons are hard to come by." Morgan is a midfielder albeit a wide-playing one. He got double figures in goals this season, I'm sure we all hope that's the first of many.
  13. Lewis Morgan got 10 in all comps this season. Lets hope he makes it 2 in a row.
  14. Good video on the Barnsley site, he's going to be hard to replace. Something which might strike any Barnsley fans watching that is "How many different strips do that St. Mirren have?" Stephen was wearing SEVEN different kits in that clip!!!
  15. Div will know seeing as he was the first to receive the offer, doubt whether he will reveal it though.
  16. Huddersfield make the playoff final winning 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw with Sheff. Wed.
  17. Well yeah, it's now Summits Outdoor Pursuit Centre I remember, in 77/78, me and my cousin would run down Love St after a match, seeing who could get in first to Alexanders in Moss St. Whoever got in first bought 1st dibs on the new stuff and the other had to get something else. That's because every week they got in new designs of the "iron on/sew on" patches that you could put on your scarf or , if you had one, denim jacket and also the badges with the pin at the back which came in a myriad of shapes. Initially they had the Saints crest with a yellow background but eventually they had ones with a red background and those looked much better. When Saints had their first kit sponsor, (Umbro), Alexanders were the only shop in town you could buy it from. I got one for Xmas in 1977, it came in a box with the whole kit inside, f**king magic. I was right into darts then as well, bought loads of flights and shafts during that period. It was a great sports shop, only Greaves in Glasgow is like it and still survives.
  18. Yeah, that was my take on it as well. Although £25 is still £25 more than zero, it is still exceptional walue for the season and if some people do decide "nah, it's not worth it, the wee man/lass won't go" then it does mean there's extra revenue for the club.
