kevo_smfc reacted to TopCat in Cheesy's Away.
One of my favourite St Mirren pictures of all time. That's down the other end of the pitch in the final after we scored. You can see he's as delighted as the most passionate of fans in the stadium at that moment.
He grew up a fan and lived the dream all of us fans have; to walk up those stairs at Hampden and lift a trophy in the black and white stripes. How many fans have lived that dream? Not many, the fact he has will always make him a true club legend.

kevo_smfc reacted to Drew in Cheesy's Away.
FWIW, I think he was singled out for disproportionate criticism. He wasn't a superstar, but at least he gave two f**ks, and was part of a team that won us the cup.
He goes with my best wishes.

kevo_smfc reacted to windae cleaner in Another Great Bod Decision This Season...
The standard BOD answer
ICT ,Hamilton and the Fakes are smaller clubs
The difference being they are ran well
You could add in Patrick,Ross County,Killie and Motherwell who always seem to get there
Stop paying off managers and players before their time would be start
Tommy Craig 2 year deal ffs

Did he advise to Wylde to actually look interested for 90mins?

Took him almost a full 18 months to fulfil that as a return.

kevo_smfc got a reaction from magnus in Board Meeting - Gary Teale
Agreed. Brian does the job of two, maybe three employees at the club.
He doesn't identify targets, though works on trying to bring these players to the club at the managers request.
I contacted Brian in the past with regards to an issue i had with my season ticket, and he replied almost immediately. Considering he has many dealings with the club,from top to bottom, i thought it just showed what a great chap and massive asset he is to the club.

i don't think Brian Caldwell is the problem at the club. And I'm not sure that making those decisions is anywhere near his remit anyway. i know some of the people you associate with have a problem with Brian, but that is based on their petty gripes about not getting Brian to do their beck and call. The guy is focussed on the bigger picture at the club.
I agree, he's not the issue he signs the players the manager identifies, restricted by the boards budget parameters. He administers the club day to day activities very well and communicates with the fans well also. He has a tough job, limited decision making capacity, mediator between dressing room and board room and running the day to day activities.

kevo_smfc reacted to DougJamie in Board Meeting - Gary Teale
One thing is clear, Teale doesn't have dressing room, and have to say Thommo was no help yesterday, is this what Saints train, Ridgers boot, Thommo or Arquin nod on, end of move. This is what worries me. Under Danny/TC we got ball down, whats happened to that. To see a County team play us off park again. I don't think we could beat Montrose just now.
One thing is certain the BOD finally have to act. Raheem Sterling has the right idea. We should all get a shot of laughing gas just before Kick off

To be fair to Reilly, he was imo the best player in the 2nd half for us, who didn't waste a pass all night.
The options on the bench were limited.
The biggest mistake the last handful of games for me is starting Arquin in front of the boy Sadlier.

We all knew deep down when we saw gregg wylde modelling a strip designed for stoned convicts that this wasn't going to end well. Sometimes superstition bears fruit, such as those black socks, oh and yellow in a Saint Mirren strip? Someone needs to Pish in every corner of the pitch( copyright Barry fry) to exorcise the demons in our stadium. Then and only then will we improve, Mark my words.

kevo_smfc got a reaction from Herbie in St Mirren V Ross County Premiership 13/4/15 7-45 Pm Kick Off
Herbie, this is one of the greatest and most accurate posts I have read on here in many of years.
Within my family, there are many season tickets holders, who have travelled afar to support the buddies on the road too. The majority of them are so disconnected with the club now, that they cant see themselves returning until change is made.
In regards to your boy, i have a nephew of the same age who has lost all interest in the club too, and its heartbreaking to see the fans of our future being switched off so early.

kevo_smfc reacted to Kendo in St Mirren V Ross County Premiership 13/4/15 7-45 Pm Kick Off
Strange post. You are hoping that the players don't surrender as easily as the fans?
The 5-0 capitulation was the biggest surrender I've seen from a Saints team for a long time.
Also you started the post saying that you're certain that we are down, sounds like you've surrendered?

kevo_smfc reacted to Herbie in St Mirren V Ross County Premiership 13/4/15 7-45 Pm Kick Off
I have a season ticket. I have had for more years than I care to remember. I won't be there on Monday for no other reason than why would I put myself through 2 hours of hell? Lost all interest. My son has too.
My question to the board is this. Do you hear us or are you choosing to ignore us?
The club is a shambles.
The team is a shambles.
The communication is a shambles.
The commercial side is an utter disgrace.
Your ability to bring through and nurture new supporters is appaling. No 11 year old die hard Saints fan should ever be so disillusioned that they choose to miss games and opt for an EPL strip instead of an SMFC one because the one they REALLY want is so dreadful.
This is the reality.
Fergie used to drive around the streets urging people to come to the games. All I see now is apathy. From you Stewart to imposters like Gregg Wylde. No one is giving a f**k apart from us.
Thanks for everything but now hang your heads in shame. You saved us. Now you've destroyed us. But don't worry. We'll pick up the pieces.

kevo_smfc got a reaction from mcnam in Let's Prepare For The Championship
There is nothing to play for so i agree, the players who will not be playing in the championship next season should be told now that they are not going to be kept on, play the ones you intend to keep even if it means making up the numbers from thr u20s to field a team.
Too many wage thieves amongst the lot of them imo.

kevo_smfc reacted to mad saint 2 in Let's Prepare For The Championship
