  1. faraway saint now comparing Caprice with Ronaldo. On a par with his suggestion that we replace McGowan or McGinn with Derek Riordan...
  2. Let me get this straight. faraway saint has been on here all season berating anyone who dared to have a negative opinion about how Saints have been playing this season... despite not having watched a single game? Its as if was developed for one person in mind!
  3. Like the comment about Dargo up front on his own against monster centre backs! I could have sworn he played alongside Higdon or Mehmet!
  4. Anyone who thinks that Kenny McLean will turn down an offer from England for many multiples of his current salary are deluded. After all the abuse he's suffered from the boo boys at St. Mirren, who can blame him,
  5. What a load of tripe. Moving Jim Goodwin out of the back 4 and into midfield, moving Paul McGowan out of a deep lying midfield role to just behind Steven Thompson and dropping all Danny's shite summer signings isn't "the odd player or there" I told you where Danny was going wrong. I was proved right. You were wrong. All along, all along.
  6. Indeed. Well said Wilbur. Its ironic that the "lynch mob" are the guys who have actually saved Danny's job while the happy clappers would have clapped him all the way to a P45 and would have clapped this club all the way back to the First Division.
  7. Great to get it right up that horrible shit Derek Adams. I really hope they get relegated.
  8. Keeping possession is inviting pressure upon yourselves! Cup final 2010!
  9. One bad pass and they are away. Keeping possession is never a good idea.
  10. Keeping possession is not a good idea. We need to let them have the ball, sit back and hit them on the break.
  11. The danger is that we do what we did in the cup final. We stop being direct, start trying to keep possession and then get hit on the break.
  12. Correct. He should have been sacked in the close season!
  13. Its incredible how things are now going great ever since Danny adopted the tactics and team line up that I recommended. Well done Danny!
  14. Bahoken doesn't even make the bench. To go into the season with only 1 proper striker - a 33 year old - is bizarre!
  15. Only just read this and recognised the name. I didn't know him personally but he was in the year above me at school and I knew his face. He was standing near me right behind the goal when Paul McKnight's winner went in at Somerset Park and I remember hugging him during the celebrations! Very sad that this can happen.
  16. I was down at Ralston watching the players train the other day. This boy has some shot on him. One shot hit the top right hand corner of the net while one flew over the bar and almost struck a nearby cuckoo’s nest.
  17. Saints second goal is a classic. Long ball down the pitch. Thompson actually gets nowhere near it however the Thistle defender heads it straight to McGowan. A sublime pass from McGowan and Newton is in for the goal. A move like this cuts out the risk of losing possession in a risky area. We don't even need a target man for it, we just need to win the second ball. And allows Paul McGowan to work his magic in an attacking area against a disorganised defence. Surely makes more sense than asking McGowan to work magic in his own defensive third with forwards on his back and the opposition with all men behind the ball and organised? If Lennon & Craig continue along this path then we will finish top 6 this season.
  18. From today's Metro "Thistle dominated possession but Darren McGregor reckons ditching the Buddies' passing play in favour of long balls paid off. There are very few games where Steven Thompson has been dominated in the air said McGregor. He wins more than he loses, so I think if you've got an asset like that you need to use it. Thistle midfielder Isaac Osborne defended his side's approach to the game and said they would find it difficult to take a more direct approach, as the visitors did on Saturday. We like to play the game properly, Osborne said"
  19. Hearts aren't an issue, too far behind. Its the play off place we need to avoid. However, at this rate, we'll be heading for a top 6 finish. Its brilliant how things have improved since Lennon took on board the tactical and line up changes I recommended.
