truesaint got a reaction from RichardBuddie in St Johnstone v St Mirren, 30/4/22
Great to get a result, horrific performance by the fakes but that has to be the worst performance by a referee I have seen in a while. Fair enough there weren't many major calls to make but got nearly every other decision wrong and just think VAR wouldn't have made a difference to any of them. Should be reported for incompetence along with the linesmen. Think the refs sponsors should be trying to terminate their contract for tarnishing their name.

The players need their backsides booted but Robinson is the wrong person to do it. Ran away from Motherwell and left them in a mess. Preserved his rep from season before but was taking them down.
He's going nowhere atm so we better just hope its not another Stubbs but it has all the hallmarks.

“I think Jim (Goodwin) previously flipped between a 4-3-3 and a 3-5-2 as well. There’s players that can play both formations.
ffs - obviously not done enough research or someone hasn't told him the more recent change in formation that provided some success. Suppose we will find out tonight.

Is it just me or are we managing to attract players using the wrong approach? The message seems to be that come to St Mirren, we are great at developing players and then you will get a move to a bigger club.
We should be buying these players, checking how they fit in, play and their potential worth to St Mirren and then approaching them with a 'We have been impressed with you so far and want to offer to you an improved extended contract' I appreciate there is no guarantee of Premiership football but good players will always end up being sold for a profit. (You can also take into account the possibility of a long term injury as a reason not to but it must be worth a gamble). I don't see any other clubs actively marketing to attract players so they can be used as a stepping stone.
It becomes embarrassing the way we manage contracts of our players and talent has to spotted early on, rewarded and then taking a firm stance once you have them on a decent contract.
It is ok to attract potentially a higher calibre of player for a season or so to help the team. Get players in who want to come and join the club and develop and reward them at the same time. We are far too short sighted and poor in our negotiations. We also come across as being far too accommodating to player requests. If a player is on a short contract then agree put a price tag on them and punt them but we need to manage the contracts better throughout the course of seasons and reward players to extend their contracts and stay albeit for possibly just that little bit longer.

I actually wonder if the Naismith/Brown interviews were a fact finding mission on the part of the board/CEO.
Invite 2 former players, now coaches who between them have played at the 5 biggest clubs in Scotland and mine them for potential best-practice information under the guise of a job interview.

Sounds like an attacker to me. The new zealand coach should be sacked for not recognising her strengths. 😀

Note to BoD. If we are looking at the New Zealand market can we please ensure we don't sign this defender. 😜

Or we could just appoint an interim manager and take Goodie back when the sheep punt him after 6 months for not performing a miracle.😀

If it is going to be a summer of recruitment which looks likely then hopefully we get Ross back in the dugout. His January clear out comes to mind and did a good job of rebuilding.

Already been posted his record at Hibs, overall, was pretty decent.
They shat their pants after a poor run, and the rest is history.
His record with us was, IMO, was the best managerial performance in many a year.
Have him back in a heartbeat.
