    JJP reacted to div in Fans As Poor As The Team   
    Chicken & Egg at home.
    The fans will respond and react to what they see happening on the pitch. I've witnessed noise in the West Stand that was deafening when we beat Celtic 4-0, knocked them out the Scottish Cup and beat Rangers on Xmas Eve. The stadium is often criticised for causing the poor atmosphere but the reality is that it's what's happening on the park that is the root cause.
    The fans at home CAN be unreasonable though. There are individuals who we all hear every home game who go out their way to be negative and who simply can't wait to berate our own team. That has been true for all the years I've been supporting Saints, and I guess it's most likely true of every club in the land.
    I've never really understood it, but i actually think some of our fans ENJOY being negative. I guess it's their outlet after a shite week at work or whatever.

    Cheesy played for Bradford in a friendly tonight, presumably as a trialist.
    Good luck to the big man, a nicer lad you could not meet.

    What possible difference does it make if Ian Murray works on transfers, re signings, etc over the phone from
    Paisley or wherever it is that he's on holiday?
    I remember reading that Rangers (now in liquidation) signed Paul Gascogne while Walter Smith was on holiday.
    The wonders of the telephone...
    You can even text, facetime, God knows what these days.
    Incredible

    Mark Howard got a lot of stick from our all knowing support yet I always felt there was a good keeper in there.
    He's doing not to shabbily now... way out of our league.
    When are we going to learn to support players?

    JJP reacted to FTOF in Young Players Signing Up - Baird, Morgan Cuddihy   
    If the board make the correct appointment, we might have a management team that can maximise their potential.
    I think some of us forget just how young some of these players are and just how difficult a situation they've been through this season, having to firstly cope with a halfwit for a manager followed by a manager with no experience at all, who appears to have very average managerial abilities.
    TBH it's quite sad to see adults in their 40's and 50's posting vitriolic criticism of young boys just starting out in their careers.

    I don't think our younger players have done that badly this season .
    I think they've been let down by the so called experienced ones .
    Too much pressure has been heaped on them very early in their careers .
    Next season they will now have this bad experience to look back on , and will hopefully be wiser for it .

    No competitions etc required. Keep it simple and it will be fine - ie: everything that the current abomination is not.

    The difference is McLean has ability, Cheesy doesn't. Hate to say it as he's an honest big player but he isn't good enough.

    Tony should have a role at our club. His pr skills are far superior to anything we have at present. An ambassador ?

    A squad containing Thompson, McGinn, Kello, McLean, Osbourne and Teale automatically excludes it from being anywhere near a 'worst squad in living memory'.

    JJP reacted to Dibbles old paperboy in Dear Stewart   
    Almost 1% of St Mirren fans who turned out to support the team today have backed my clueless bid to replace Tommy Craig as team manager. Is it possible that I now enjoy more support to be manager than Tommy Craig does?

    Our commercial department is only interested in organising dinners and the old fashioned hospitality. While these are all well and good we miss out on so much more. If firms aren't spending as much on hospitality then we change what we're offering to entice them or go after different firms. Granted no one will want to come to watch us play so we better be offering something amazing!

    So if I've got this right, TC wafted four names on a bit of paper, so we can relax safe in the knowledge he was on top of identifying signing targets.
    Strip sales are on a par with previous seasons, so we can relax safe in the knowledge that the current kit is well liked and sales figures reflect this.
    We have Plummer and Tess, so we can relax safe in the knowledge that we are well sorted in the CB positions.
    There are no plans to kit out the void as a supporters bar, so we can relax safe in the knowledge that Paisley pubs will not lose out on valuable revenue.
    No airlines were interested in an advert on the dome (the facility, not Jim Goodwin's napper), so we can relax safe in the knowledge we aren't missing anything if we fail to get a windae' seat on our holibobs.
    Our strikers are pish, but will be fine and dandy once Thommo' is fit, so we can relax safe in the knowledge that Thommo' is not only a legend and a handsome man, he's a fcuking miracle worker.
    Tommy will only 'fall on his sword' in eighteen months time, so we can relax safe in the knowledge that at least one Scottish pensioner won't be worried about affording those fuel bills for the next two winters.
    Finally, we let Gowser go, so we can relax safe in the knowledge that Paisley polis will feel safer out on the beat this festive season.
    Yo ho, fcuking ho. I'm convinced..... we are in great shape. Nothing to worry about, nothing to see here, move along....

    Judge him without the injuries? His record as a No1 at all clubs where he performed the No1 role has been shite. All clubs have injuries.
    He's never a manager any more than I'm likely to trouble Rory McIlroy's position on the world ranking chart. I can however swing a golf club, hit some decent shots, and sink the odd putt.... I'm still shite though.
    So is he. His record proves it.
