I wish the boy all the best and hope he does a job for us between now and the end of the season.
However, he is only here on loan, and so not a signing as far as I'm concerned. When are we going to bring players in on a contract? I feel sorry for Gary Teale & David Longwell, having their best asset sold from under them. What makes it worse is that we have sold him to a rival club and for a pittance, considering his age and prospects in the game.
I'm too pissed off to write any more about our current situation, except to say that the sooner we get new owners, the better for us all.

It's not so long ago that we were televised at Firhill on a Friday night and we won that game. Here's hoping for a repeat
-
Thats because he is a good prospect
Probably explains why we let him go.

From what Gilmour said on the radio the other night, we're looking for someone who can 'wheel and deal', with good contacts.
The 'wheeling and dealing' aspect of SG's statement makes me think a new manager will be in place before the transfer window and might be expected to cash in on McGinn and, to a lesser extent, McLean and use that money to replace a half dozen others - those 'others' being free agents and/or loan deals, (though the "good contacts" mentioned), so only costing the wages.
Could I live with that? If it keeps us up then the answer is yes. I'd only hope that neither of them would end up at Sevco.

Mehmet is miles better than Callum Ball.
I am better than CB

FIFY
How can I ever repay you?

Can't see us doing any better than a 2-0 defeat, but I also have to concede that we do come up with a few surprise results from time to time. I just can't see this being one of them.

Having sat through Saturday's game, and having read the comments on here, I'd make the following comments:
1/ The game on Saturday was better than I expected, given the fact that the bookie's favourites to fill the bottom two slots were playing each other in atrocious conditions.
2/ We may well have had players in the Sun team of the day, but Man of the Match was Graham Carey. We still have nobody who can deliver balls into the box like he can.
3/ The far-side linesman was very late with his flag several times, but I did think he was wrong to flag Gardyne offside for what would have been their second goal..
4/ If County had been better at beating the offside trap, they'd have won easily.
5/ Kenny McLean had a great start to the game, but still has to prove he's as good as he seems to think he is.
6/ John McGinn is being played too deep.
7/ Jim Goodwin still acts like he's the Captain and, to be honest, it's just as well he does.
8/ Marian Kello is losing too many balls crossed into his box. I did think he was fouled at County's first goal, but he's lost a lot like that this season.
9/ Jason Naismith was fouled when we had our 'goal' chopped off, yet amazingly had a foul given against him, which meant our 'goal' was not given.
10/ Callum Ball is not the answer to our Centre Forward problem and, to be honest, Ross Caldwell isn't the solution either. Once he came on, I lost count of the times we had nobody in the centre of the park when attacking.
11/ We looked the better team when chasing both equalisers, but went off the boil shortly after getting back to 2-2. I've no idea why TC didn't try to change our shape in the last 10 - 15 minutes, as we were clearly getting nowhere and showing no signs of urgency, yet had two more substitutions available.
12/ We urgently need Thompson, Plummer and Osbourne back to full fitness.

Stuart Dickson (one of several contributors I tend to ignore) has typed around 50 - 60 lines of text on this topic alone. Add to that the time he must have spent researching FIFA rules, St Mirren club policy and Motherwell FC club policy and you begin to get an idea of how much effort he is willing to put into being disruptive on a discussion board intended, in the main, to provide a place for fans of the club to exchange views on various topics.
To all genuine Saints fans on here I would simply say, put the man on ignore and don't let him waste as much of your time as he does with his own. I must look up how to do that myself. SD will be only one of several trolls I'll be putting on that list.

Got excited the other day when I read the headline, "Faddy signs for Saints". Sadly, it turned out to be the fakes.
-
Great to see that nobody is responding to that prick who shall remain nameless, not to mention brainless.
-
Watch Ball go now he's gaining a little fitness and has opened his account.
Go? Go where? Isn't he under contract? What have you heard?
-
Willie Hills offering 13/10 against us tonight. Seems very generous, so I've lumped on it.

However we have had a very good pre-season so hopefully it was just a bad night and that performance is out of the way and we are ready for the big one next week.
I just can't agree that we have had a very good pre-season.
First of all, the programme was the usual uninspired selection of games against unattractive opposition - all strangely arranged away from home. A couple of games in Paisley wouldn't have harmed.
Secondly, the opposition we beat were all second and third-rate sides and, much as they were all "practise session" they were hardly challenging.
Thirdly, the one game we did lose was against a side relegated from English League Division 1 last year, so a piss-poor result in my book.
Why do teams like Dundee and Hearts arrange home games against the likes of Man City, yet we arrange away fixtures against the likes of Blyth Spartans, Albion Rovers and Whitley Bay?
-
Cheers for that, but that's me off this forum for good now.
Don't let one dumb remark chase you away.

We are now on page 9 of this topic and, sadly, about six pages worth are just school-playground sniping between people who are all (supposedly) supporters of the same team. Pretty sad really.

The crowd won't be any bigger on the Friday night than it would be on the Saturday afternoon, I wouldn't have thought.
I am talking purely from a personal point of view. For me, a Friday night out shouldn't be interrupted by a football match. Football matches are for Saturday afternoons and occasional Tuesday/Wednesday nights.
Call me old-fashioned (or just an arse, if you prefer).
Totally agree. It might be an age thing (i.e. I'm as dinosaur) but I just can't see any valid reason for having matches played on a Friday night. A person (I'm including the ladies here) works all week and then, after completing the last shift, they are expected to shoot home, jump in a quick bath, has a quick shave (still including some of the ladies here) and has to head out to the stadium without a couple of pints first (still including etc.....). If it's an away game then it's almost certainly out of the question, unless it's relatively local, as the Jags game is for us.
Sunday football I can live with, but Friday nights are a no-go for me. Only my personal stance of course.

.....but his write up and a goal after 7 mins is getting me quite moist...
Oooh Matron!

As the driver of said official club car, I can confirm this to be true. I can also confirm that he asked me to stop off at Asda in Linwood on the way to the ground, so there may well have been a few sightings.
-
Agree with this but all I was saying was there is no need to panic as we are stronger than last season and WILL still improve the squad.
I do believe we will add to the current squad, but whether or not we IMPROVE the squad remains to be seen. Danny made many additions last season that only succeeded in pummelling the budget without improving the squad in any way.
-
Genuine question. When was the last time (if ever) that either us or M*rt*n failed to reach the final?

ned (nɛd) — n slang , derogatory ( Scot ) a young working-class male who dresses in casual sports clothes
Now, let's be accurate about this, if you want to call him a 'Ned' be sure that the word fits, as the description above tends to suggest that there is nothing really intrinsically wrong with a 'ned' as such. His choice to wear "casual sports clothes".
However as several contributors have pointed out Saints have over the years had a questionable number of players donning the jersey who may not have had the benefit of a good education, a good up-bringing, or occasionally tangled with the boys in blue. That hasn't stopped them going on to have good football brains and abilities that allow them to make a decent living out of kicking a ball about a grass park.
Not every player who wears black and white has 5 advanced highers at 'A' grade and can put sentences together either on line or over the media, but I'll tell you what, I'll sing his praises from the rooftop if he tries hard, contributes to the team and also scores the odd goal here and there.
Welcome to the Saints, Ross and ignore the timewasters and do your talking on the park.
I agree with the points made in this post, but have to point out that the definition given for the term 'Ned' seems to be from a fairly flimsy source. There are loads of other definitions available, most of which would suggest a hooligan or petty criminal.
Either way, I hope he gives us the goals we are going to need to avoid a repeat of last season's relegation worries.

I thought this quote from Stewart Gilmour was interesting:
" I want to be in the position where we can sit down with a talented young player's parents and convince them that St Mirren is the place for him to be."
I take it from this that SG no longer considers Kenny McLean to be young?

Eh? Did you go to the talk in with Gus and Andy? Hard as nails both of em' with a steely gaze straight into your heart as they answered your questions. Gus in particular could fix you with an icy stare that could trigger an underpants-keech interface situation in the unsuspecting questioner.
I wouldn't have fancied standing up and saying 'Fcuk sake Gus, you didn't half bugger up that 2010 final, eh?'
Similarly, I wouldn't fancy telling Goody he's the cheap option! He's a big bugger too. Wouldnae' mess about I don't think.
Not saying they are bullies... Just saying I'm no' brave enough to give them a hard time!
Fair do's
