Ok so having confirmed the interest level was there I have now gone ahead and block booked the Dome for a weekly game of 7-a-side.

The game will be on;

Wednesdays 8pm to 9pm

The dome costs £70 per hour and there will be 14 playing every week so it's going to be £5 per head if you play.

If you want to play.....
Please send an email to [email protected] together with;

1) Your forum username
2) Your real name
3) Your daytime telephone number
4) Your mobile telephone number
5) Your email address (I will get that off the email you send me)

Don't put any of your personal details here on this thread, please email the above address with the details.

How it works......
At the end of this week I will publish the first rota. This rota will be published in this thread and also emailed to everyone.

The first 14 people to send me their details will be offered a place in week one. Assuming we have more than 14 names then all the remaining names will go on the reserve list.

Once you have a place in the game it is yours every week until you can't play. Once you drop out of the game your place will be offered to the person at the top of the reserve list and you will go to the bottom of the reserve list.

I will work up something better than that once we know how many bodies we have looking to play.

Initially if you just want to play every now and again just tell me that and I will put you on the reserve list.


So email away everyone who wants to play sevens from next week please !

dont know if it has been mentioned, or if anyone watches soccer am anymore, but did anyone see saints playing head tennis in the changing room? couldnt find a vid...

I've just read through the latest batch of complaints on the forum and thought I'd just remind you all about a few key things.
Threats of Violence
The forum is all about opinions, and we won't always agree. If another poster is annoying you then you can choose to ignore their posts using the "ignore members" option. This is available by clicking where it says "signed in as....." at the top of the forum. You will see an option of "Manage Ignored Users" there.
The same goes for guests of other clubs who come on and join in the forum. Although this is a Saints board it doesn't do much harm to have a few opposition fans drop in from time to time, and can help liven things up. By all means berate them and their team but there is no need to resort to making threats of violence.
Religious Bigotry
Religious bigotry also won't be tolerated, as per our rules and regulations which are clearly linked at the top of the forum. You don't need me to tell you there is a big focus on online religious bigotry and people even being carpeted in court and getting custodial sentences for posting certain remarks on the internet.
We are all collectively responsible for ensuring that the board stays clear of this sort of thing which has absolutely no place in Scottish society let alone football. Leave the religious stuff to the two ugly sisters up the road, we are all better than that and above it so keep it off the board please and if you do see the sort of stuff I am talking about please use the report button.
Moderation
The mod team has suffered a bit in recent months due to technical issues, changes in circumstances, lack of time. Tom, David and NSS all do an admirable job when they are online but it's fair to say I myself have not devoted as much time as I should have done to keeping the place ticking over. That will change now, I will undertake to review the complaints panel every day so if there is anything on the forum which you think is breaking the rules, please use the report button and I or one of the other mods will deal with it.
The future
There are hopefully the first green shoots of some exciting things beginning to happen on the park. Off the park we have a lot going on. At times like these the forum should be coming into it's own as the best place to discuss all things St.Mirren. This is without doubt the busiest online forum for Saints fans and it will continue to exist for a very long time to come yet but we all have to play our part in making it reflect well on the club. At times recently I am sure some of the stuff on here has been an embarassment to St.Mirren.
Please think about the above, get involved with the forum and remember that first and foremost we are ALL St.Mirren supporters.

Hi all
I'm Marina, 23 years old
I am looking for good man. If he exists...

FFS, robbing bastards!
I appreciate that I'm like a dug wi' a bone on this subject, but this is utter madness. Totally unjustifiable to be charging prices like this when you factor in the journey involved. I'm amazed that people will fork out this kind of money to travel up there. Maybe I'm a part-timer, but pricing like this will kill the game stone-dead unless something changes.
Consider a family of five travelling up for the game. Mum, Dad, with 15, 13, and 8 year old kids. That's £89 for admission alone - yes, £89!
Add fuel if they take the car - say £35, and something to eat at the game or before they go in - maybe another £20.
So, in total, for a 90 minute match you are talking a grand total of £144.
Dearie me....

I can't seem to see a thread running so apologies if there is already one and I've just missed it.
Many clubs fans take their political ideology from what they perceive to be the clubs ideology eg. A certain club from Govan's fans will mostly vote no.
What way will Saint fans be voting in the Scottish Independence Referendum? Why are you voting for/against independence?

You can find this on today's BBC News Site. I'm afraid anything toilet related appeals to me. I never doubted dinosaurs did big 'poos' as the Beeb says but I suppose it's nice to get confirmation. If they ever unearth the boys' loo from the original Camphill School in Paisley, I bet it would make headlines too!
I wonder what words our fellow B&W Army posters might use to describe this post. (Just pre-empting)

I knew a zingy title like that would pull in the punters....
This genuinely fascinating article on the subject on the BBC website...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-25134584
Shows up real anachronisms and problems with the way that FIFA currently scores matches.
Eg Scotland's last match at Wembley meant that the host country's coefficient fell, despite them winning.
Lots of other similar daftness revealed in the article. It kept me quiet for a good few seconds....

Killie game now the 2nd - Hospitality for the game - and cant go on rearranged day - poor show Saints and Killie for agreeing this without fans input

Ladies/Gents
My calls for a speculation section so far have been unanswered!
I think we need a special section for the questions such as
Who should we sign?
Who would you like us to sign?
What players are currently free and looking for a club and may do a job for St Mirren?
There IS a place for speculation, we ALL like to do it and thus far this forum does not really allow us to do it without comments (from people like me) such as "thats not a rumour".
So please speculate here (and if you believe in such a section then maybe the mods will see it too) and it may make the rumour mill slighty more credible!
I shall start
Goalkeeper...I would love us to go for Jamie Langfield
Defence......Keep Will Haining
Midfield.....Marcus Niculae now that he has been released?
Striker....Leigh Griffiths?

Happy Birthday Sir......Enjoy

Again. For a second time?
When did they close it before ya torn faced old bugger?

TT and Millen didn't get under people's skin the way Goodwin does, they were clever tough tough players but I don't remember either being hated as much as Goodwin, though not having Pie and Bovril apps in their day maybe just prevented me being aware of the seeth!Aber on the other hand, terrifying wee player, scared of no-one and could play a bit too.
I do love pie and bovril's hate for Goody, so many years I've wanted a player that other fans hate and we have one here, thing is he's a decent guy.
My favourite moment would be where he is kidding on he's smoking a cigar in Scott Brown's face in the league cup semi, golden!

Since one of our esteemed moderating team inadvertently deleted my effort from last night, here we go again! On the back of Jason Naismith being the first player to earn a contract extension this season, i thought i'd list the contract status of all first team players currently at the club for reference. Correct my errors and i'll try keep it updated as new deals are signed.
Contracted till the end of the season:
Stephane Bahoken (loan expiring)
Conor Newton (loan expiring)
Marian Kello
David Van Zanten
Darren McGregor
Lee Mair
Jim Goodwin
Steven Thompson
Paul McGowan
Kenny McLean
Gary Teale
Danny Grainger (1 year extension option)
David Barron
Mo Yaqub
Anton Brady
Kieran Hughes
Christopher Dilo
Jon Scullion
Adam Campbell (loan expiring)
Contracted beyond the end of the season:
Jason Naismith: May 2017
John McGinn: May 2016
Sean Kelly: May 2016
Mark McAusland: May 2015
Thomas Reilly: May 2015
Gary Harkins: May 2015 (currently on loan to Oldham Athletic until May 2014)
Priorities have to be Kello and Newton. They've both became an integral part of our team but they may be leaving us very soon. Conors situation will obviously be up to Newcastle, hopefully they'll look kindly on us again and send him back up the road. Hopefully no one comes in and offers Marian more money!
The next player i'd love to see us sign up is Sean Kelly, he's been tremendous recently and i hope he joins his fellow young full back in penning a long term deal. After him the next 3 players i'd like us to get signed up are Dilo, McGowan and McLean. They're all young enough and good enough. I imagine Gowser will play his situation the same as he did last season, leave it to the last minute and weigh up all options before deciding. I think and hope Chris and Kenny will repay us by signing new deals before the end of January.
That leaves the over 30 brigade: Goodwin, Teale, Mair, Van Zanten and Thompson. I think and hope Goody will stay, but it's hard to tell with the others. I'd be surprised if Vanzy and Teale were still here next year, i think Mair could go on for a couple of years but given his fractious relationship with the management he'll probably move on. Then there's Thommo. He will be 36 next season, i think he's good enough to play at this level for another 2 years at least beyond this one if he wants to, will he want to though?
