    Perhaps you are right mate. But I only speak through my passion and frustration of being a fan.
    As you know I live out with the town but I bought into the Jack Ross ‘on our way’, bandwagon and rightly so, because I want what’s best for our club.
    But today’s game reaction (you were there, I wasn’t, played more to Jack’s ego as opposed to any benefit of our club.
    What I would say would this game have taken place had jack Ross not left St Mirren for Sunderland?
    I do not wish for a moment to cause offence to anyone. I’m just merely stating my personal opinion and feelings

    Too many players were not fit enough and overweight, and that includes S McGinn.  It's all very well to say we haven't got players who may not have the skill level we'd like but there is no excuse for lack of fitness.  Too many of the newcomers and trialists didn't have the desire, motivation and drive to warrant a contract.  
    Now, having said that, the acid test will be against Dundee and AS will be under some pressure.  I think we'll do OK.

    So a 6-0 defeat worked out for our club and fans today?? Not from what I’m reading.

    I never said Jack wasn’t good for us.

    For me, and only me and my opinion, this game should never have taken place. This was an opportunity for a man to strut his ego and say GIRUY St Mirren as I can make so much more now that I got you promoted and a little bit excited.
    I wasn’t there today but I travelled up to the championship winning day to hear a man on the microphone speak to an adoring and passionate support saying ‘we are on our way’....... the only person on their way was him and the sheep that followed.
    He was a lucky man to have the game changing talent of Lewis Morgan who did much to bring that passion and excitement back to St Mirren. But that lad didn’t profess to be ‘on our way’. He gave his all and appreciated what St Mirren did for him as much as he did for them.
    We now have a new manager who now has to take the mantle on of taking this side into the top division of Scottish football but with the added task of maintaining a feel good factor that everyone bought into with the now departed egotistical manager. A manager who, in my view, brought nothing more than Tom Hendrie, Gus MacPherson or Danny Lennon brought to our club.
    I’m no advocate of Stubbs but we need to understand that the previous manager used us and the new one has to pick up the pieces. I’m not sure he can but I hope he does.
    This game today has done nothing, absolutely nothing for St Mirren Football Club.

    BanburyBud reacted to Mykey in New Manager Latest Odds   
    If I'm honest I'd have taken one of the bigger names (as players) and if we'd failed at least we tried, I didn't fancy the Irish guy much but I'd have preferred him to Stubbs or Mcintyre, I think we were struggling when Neilson and Goodwin withdrew, where we are now both should have been easily within our reach. I would have preferred an assistant manager or coach promoted from a country where players are worked full time, their diet and exercise are worked on constantly, JR seemed to have taken that on board, albeit from Brendan Rodgers and I worry now we've gone back to the monster munch and tunnocks tea cakes.

    What amazes me, is the fact that if you don't toe the Jack Ross Superfan line, then you're a nutter, short on memory, an idiot etc etc.  No matter how you dress it up,Jack Ross walked away from St.Mirren fans so why shouldn't St.Mirren fans walk away from Jack Ross?
    It is  human nature to react. We all react differently . So why not let people  react how they feel, rather being bullied into something else.
    So many posters on here are giving Jack Ross tremendous respect, but they can't manage the same for their fellow supporters!

    Drew, I couldn’t agree with you more. That’s it in a nutshell.

    Dare I say we’ve been sold down the river once again as a club and fans.
    Yes he did a good job, for a year and a half. As did Gus for a darn sight longer.
    I can’t get all the gushing for Jack Ross and what he’s done. But that’s only my opinion.
    It certainly feels like the feel good factor has been extinguished mighty quickly!
    I (and it’s only my opinion) feel quite insulted, as a fan, that the official site feels the need to publish a statement from Jack Ross.
    Quite frankly I couldn’t give a monkeys chuff what he has to say. I haven’t or have no intention of reading it. Much like his speech on the pitch at the end of the season. All seems quite shallow now. I understand that this is football now fuelled by money and the circus English football brings.
    Not for me and more than at ease being a lifelong Buddie.
    My own opinion of the situation and, as we always have, we move to the next chapter of St Mirren rollercoaster.

    I for one won't be giving a flying f**k about Sunderland, or how Jack Ross and James Fowler fare there.
    I have no absolutely interest in English football, and I now have no interest in Jack Ross' career (albeit I wish him no ill fortune).
    St Mirren is all that matter to me.  We've had a blast for the past 18 months, and were always likely to be brought back down to earth. The true test of how the club has progressed will be how well we pick ourselves back up and give a good account in the top league next season.

    Not think, at the very best thought. He got a really bad injury (twice) at crucial points in his development as a player and by all accounts isn't close to the player he looked like devloping into. There's been a few games this season where even Morton have dropped him. Don't let the fact a player ups his game against us fool you into thinking he's worth paying money for and we would have to pay for him. Not saying he 100% won't develop, just that with his injury history it would be a big gamble to take.

    Clamour is too strong Drew. The bottom line he is one of the highest earners and definitely not in the manager's plans. Maybe some fans would love to see him play at times but Jack doesn't. For what it is worth I think we could get better value for money elsewhere but my view like everyone else's is irrelevant -Jack does not rate him.

    Baird was easily my MotM today.
    He is our most improved player. McGinn was outstanding, and both Smiths, Reilly and Morgan were also excellent, but Jack is developing into a brilliant centre half.

    I contacted James Hunter last night and the issue is the St Mirren TV coverage file wasn’t useable so they were trying to get a copy from BT. Unfortunately the company that does the live coverage for BT is now closed until 8th January,
    James said JR then spoke to the production manager personally and got him to supply this copy, which James had to go to the guys house to collect.
    Unfortunately the sound is corrupted but it was either that or wait until January 8th for a better copy to be available. He will swap the files as soon as the better one becomes available but it was this or nothing for now.
    I was also pretty frustrated but after his explanation I realized he had done everything he could. 
    As an aside, it’s great that the club have become so much more accessible to us.
