  1. I'd said at the time, the timing of his contract running out was unfortunate as he would have most likely made his proper breakthrough this season with more appearances on a rotation basis. He was always destined to move on though.
  2. Any opportunity Small was given this season was out of position. Going by his game time last season, both St Mirren and Thierry no doubt thought he would get similar, though Tansers form this season has been his best to date and he has rightly kept him out of th team. If Southampton are trying to sell a left wing back and hes played on the opposite side, and/or very little game time at all, then it makes sense to recall him and find a move that benefits him to play on a weekly basis in his preferred position.
  3. Durmus at the very least tripled his wages when he left us for Poland. We cannot compete with that
  4. I think if you look at it in comparisons to what Aberdeen received for Ross McCrorie and Lewis Ferguson and the likes of Turnbull to Celtic, O'Hara is as good as any of those players and they have all sold for a minimum of £2m+.
  5. Just watched part 3 of the video from the AGM. Could be wrong, though it looked like it conveniently ran out of recording space as AW was given a platform.
  6. Graeme stepped down from SMISA a few months back.
  7. You were probably one of those defeatist negative types that said top 6 was out of the question too.
  8. I'm no sure what's funny. Do you honestly think 4th is out of the question?
  9. I think when you have 4 games all to play for its not really a free hit. Beat Hearts on Saturday, Hibs lose to Celtic and we are back to level. Every team capable of taking points off each other.
  10. The point of the pyramid system when it was first introduced was to make a pathway for Junior teams to make their way into the professional league, as it should, as well make the bottom of League 2 more meaningful. It has unfortunately been bastardised since its creation.
  11. No worries at all mate, I appreciate your response. I got sorted last night. Bus leaving from Barga on New St
  12. I tried the Cockles Wilson hoping there would be an additional bus or two as they have added 1-2 extra in the past, though they won't be doing so on this occasion.
  13. Is this possibly why the Black Rooster Mick Kennedy at Darvel resigned the other week and moved to East Kilbride, as he seen no pathway for Darvel to progress? He was very vocal about it last season. After all, his team won their division and still had to play another 2 legged game to make it into the Lowland which they respectively lost.
  14. I am looking for two spaces on a bus to Easter Rd, if there are any supporters buses with available space? I know the club are running buses from the stadium, though I'd prefer to leave from town and get a few beers in prior to. Thanks in advance!
  15. Hey folks, I didn't really know where best to place this on the forum, though I think it needs some exposure. The lad from Irvine that went missing in Paisley on 25th March is still missing. He was last seen around 10.06pm on Love St/Inchinnan Road on doorbell/cctv camera and climbing over a wall attached to the block of flats next to Dingbro, after getting off a train at Paisley Gilmour Street around 9.40pm. He was heading home to Irvine from Glasgow on the train though unexpectedly came off at Paisley. He text his girlfriend to say that something dodgy was going on (I think when he was on the train at the time). He'd also asked his girlfriend to call the police(unsure if this was on the train or whilst in Paisley). He then pin dropped his location, which was where he was last seen on the doorbell/cctv footage. How he ended up going as far as Love St/Inchinnan Rd and no CCTV picking up his movements is very strange. The family and friends of Evan have arranged a search tomorrow from 11am and are looking for volunteers to help out. Saturday 8th April 2023 @ 11am Meeting at the Robertson street car park at Gleniffer braes (car park in the sky). This is a meeting point, though they are trying to search as much as possible around Paisley after not being able to find anything where his last sighting was. https://www.facebook.com/groups/Missingpeoplescotland/permalink/9344652698939370/ If this isn't the appropriate place to post this, mods please feel free to move.
  16. ScotJet actually did win the auction on the night.
  17. Andy Dorman for me. Thought wee Steven Thomson (midfielder) was a great player too, though Dorman got you off your seat and always looked a goal threat.
  18. Someone confirming on Twitter they know one of the academy boys' mum and he has sent messages to all of the academy boys wishing them well for the future assuming he has already signed on that basis. Could be fabricated, though sounds legit.
  19. Couple of things missing imo from our play in terms of players. I think we need someone more consistent on the left who can deliver crosses into the box. Imo Tanser hasn't done it often enough over the course of the season so far. If we had a midfielder who can hit a ball, get into goalscoring positions like Ronan, McGrath and even going as far back as Mallan and Hammill, then that would be great. I think Baccus and O'hara are capable of doing so here and there and Kiltie can too, though not often enough.
  20. The likes of Naismith were not far off of that. They also had on their books at one time under Romanov on 10k+ a week. Can't remember their names. One was from Chile, the other from Africa.
  21. I think The SMISA Stadium was only meant to be a temporary name until a new potential paying sponsor was found to replace Simple Digital. I would be all for reverting it back to St. Mirren Park, if we cannot find a paying sponsor. There is so much potential location wise with the fly path from the airport I know this has been banded about before) for businesses to have their branding across the stadium, including the roof. It's just trying to find that next investor willing to put up big cash for such a thing.
  22. Win signed saints football over on Facebook. Free entry. https://www.facebook.com/kpkreative/posts/pfbid0pgHjERK97n1w7tKtgdyjgX9aaRvF61jPYhue33icdry2k425aLLcwpP3SBM9W52El
  23. Seen the name Hakim Kiwanuka linked with us over on Twitter. Seems he is about to go on trial with Dundee United though.
  24. According to stats online, McCarthur went to Wigan for around 500k (I think he had a year left on his contract), then a further 700k when he was sold to Palace. sure McCarthy was sold for around £1.2-1.4million (depends where you read), though they also made around £2m on a sell on fee when he moved to Everton. I'm hoping with Lasley onboard with us now, he will have had an insight to how Motherwell also negotiated top dollar for their players including the likes of Kipre and Turnbull for example.
