    It seems a mixture of blindly optimistic that will defend the situation and players we sign, however obscure.

    The other side is the silent majority who just see it as the continual barrel scraping, praying for a signing that will buck the trend.

    I prefer to let things take their course and let the facts speak for themselves, good or bad. 

    Your best post of the decade. Nice.

    Why has this gone quiet? Options have been explored . . .

    I expect him to go to hibs. Was offered a trial and until wages assessment had been completed. Furlough and wage deferral is prob only reason they aren't able to offer a contract to him just now but will be higher than what we can offer anyway. 

  3. Good signing. Had concerns over who would we might end up with between the sticks but he will do a good job for us. Beginning to shape up nicely and if we get a strong back line we will be in for a decent season. Would love to see another strong centre half or two come in quickly and Jakubiak come back to us and will be happy to see who follows after that. Getting a good feel about the type of business Jim and co is doing.

    Seldom have our hospitals lain so empty. There are almost 100,000 beds in the NHS, of which 42,540 were unoccupied as of yesterday. Seven Nightingale field hospitals have been built to handle a Covid overflow that never really arrived. NHS hospitals currently have almost twice as many mechanical ventilators as are needed: for the non-invasive ventilators, it’s almost three times as many

    Aye, but what if it is only phase 1? 😦

    What if Phase 2 is the result of an EMP sent from space by an Eastern Country on around April 29th or shortly thereafter so it can be blamed on the 1998 OR2 asteroid fly by.

    What if that EMP damages our infrastructure including communications and transportation so heavily that food and water shortages soon follow.

    What if this is part of a global war games that has been going on for decades and that we should be worrying about something more than a nuclear or viral threat to our society.

    Unlikely, probably. Impossible, No. Tried to get odds on it at Willy Hills but to no avail. 😄

    Thought you might like a read for the weekend.

    But will the football season be completed- depends where the main impact is. If its Govan we are all fecked

    Don't you mean deep impact? Anyway prefer season isn't completed and Hearts can just pop off to a lower league.

    If it were to hit Ibrox we might have many millionth of a millisecond for a quick laugh.

    In fact the more I think about it the more it makes sense, Prince Charles has the virus and now Boris. They both have to “self isolate’ so the general public should not worry if they don’t see them in the next few days, they are definitely not in a doomsday shelter where all the other elites will be gathering over the next week or so 😉

    A bit of conspiracy info for you.

    what if there is no COVID virus? What if governments around the world know something terrible is going to happen that they have to have total control of the population, so they engineered this whole episode to use as a drill for the real disaster that is coming? Are Aliens due to invade? or is it a meteor? 
    right that’s it no more Netflix for me. 

    If it is of interest you can follow the track of 1998 OR2 which if it speeds up and changes course then it would be an extinction level event. Extremely unlikely but still a small percentage of a chance. Last updated on the 25/03 as it currently stands.

    Germany were testing 4 or 5 times as many folk per week as UK are /were.

    Germany has 25k ventilators with another 10k on order.
    UK has 5k ventilators and a twitter appeal from gov ministers for folk to build more.

    Germany started the whole social distancing before UK did. Germans also generally appear to be better at following the "rules" on it.

    Yep, we were and still are unprepared to control the virus. Advising people if they had symptoms to self isolate but didn't have to contact 111 was and still is a huge mistake. Without identifying potential cases, confirming and tracking contacts the longer then the longer we will be in the shit for. Why experts are supposedly puzzled doesn't give me much hope. Need to get in front of it as quickly as possible and be proactive rather than reactive. Much more testing required and tracing contacts. What is expected to be closer to a 100,000 cases in the UK is still likely to double due to supermarkets, public transport and human behaviour.

  9. Frampyy7 on twitch is Brentford player and trying to show it via his twitch. Haven't heard anything from the buddies and latest list of teams doesn't seem to include the buds. I am limiting myself to a beer every 1m 30s so I don't have a mega hangover in the morning (or later in the evening).

    Correct. Someone also put their hands up and said they were absolutely delighted to be proven wrong about Cammy. :lol:

    Same as first half of last season when everyone was on the case of Ryan Flynn. He'd have been first out the door in January and I was delighted to be talking shite there too (along with most of our support). 

    Several Saints supporters online also continue to unwaveringly persist with the line that Obika is shite. 

    Football fans, eh? 

    Obika has been shite but his performances have been getting better. He has had 2 decent halves now and having Jak alongside him has definitely helped. Time for Morias and Andreu to pull their finger out as see them dropping down the pecking order. Andreu in particular has been a disappointment and expected a lot more from him. Think it will be a more settled lineup and formation going forward which will also help as long as Jim doesn't feck about with it at half time.

    It’s strange from Thommo though.

    ”What was the best thing about your time with St Mirren? I’m guessing League Cup 2013?”

    ”Na, I much preferred the season we avoided relegation for like the seventh straight year”

    What was more enjoyable to watch? The league cup win or popping the arabs down to the first division on penalties. Must admit I celebrated more at the latter.

    My money is on him scoring our goal of the season. Got a great left peg and can bang them in from distance.

    Need to be great to beat Silky Ilkay's effort against Hamilton last week.

    Any of the 2nd, 4th or 5th from youtube vid would do the trick.
