The game in hand is against Aberdeen.

The bigger picture is that this is the WORST start to a season that St. Mirren has ever had in its ENTIRE history! We've got a 63 year old in charge who has less than 30 games under his belt as manager in his entire career, losing 75% of them! We've lost all 4 games, 3 of them at home and haven't scored a single goal. But its okay... cos we're playing well!

Different season, same happy clapping! But its okay... cos we are playing well!

Its all okay folks. We're "only" 6 points behind other teams (after 4 games) We've still got a game in hand (at Parkhead) and most importantly... we're playing well Just ignore the fact that we've lost all our games, haven't scored a goal and are enduring our worst start to a season ever :

^^^^^ ooooohhhh get her!

I briefly thought about checking this out myself but couldn't be arsed. Have we ever failed to score in the first 4 league games of a season?

I think its a reflection of getting older and not being that bothered anymore. I'm with Drew on this one.

Correct

The thing is shull, we obviously aren't playing well. Playing well is scoring goals and winning games. Playing badly is not scoring goals and losing games. That is the be all and end all. Scoring goals, not conceding goals and winning games is what football is all about.

Not totally true billy. The only players to make it to the Premier League with St. Mirren were Tony Fitzpatrick, Bobby Reid, Alex Beckett & John Young (Billy Johnston played the first 2 games due to injuries). Fitzpatrick & Reid were just very young kids under Cunningham. The other player to make it to the Premier League who played under Cunningham mind you was Bobby McKean... Willie Cunningham took over at an unfortunate time. The club had failed to get out of the old Second Division and had sold Iain Munro & Ally McLeod in the close season that he had arrived while Gordon McQueen & Jim Blair had been sold during the season before he arrived. He then had to sell McKean. He was never going to achieve under those circumstances. Bit unfair to compare Cunningham with Craig. Willie Cunningham was a highly successful manager and a St. Mirren legend as a player. Tommy Craig is neither.

Tommy Craig must stay!

Yet you were abusing anyone who dared suggest Craig was the wrong man at the start of the season. You made your bed nedflanders Now you're lying in it...

Why be so negative elvis. We're playing well, we're playing football, we're playing the game the way it should be played. Don't let the zero goals and zero points get you down. All you need to do is happy clap!

occupational pension schemes, pension funds, international flows of capital, HSBC and even McDonalds Yesterday highlighted how very little some folk actually know. And other than a string of epic fails, the other consistency is that every single post ended with the predictable Natsi abuse... Roll on the inevitable no vote on the 18th Sept!

This comment before the game sums it all up for me St Mirren striker Callum Ball: "Sometimes people say it's not best to keep playing football when you're losing but we ain't going to change our tactics because we feel it's been working, we have just not been getting the results or the goals.

vambo, if u want to engage with me u will first of all need to obtain a brain

you clearly don't know what you r talking about

are your occupational schemes defined benefit or money purchase? Santander has uk headquarters to deal with uk retail customers

the jolly jape is that you didn't realise that hsbc were a British bank headquartered in london

i expected better drewwe're not talking about funds here we're talking about highly regulated products the nag have a uk headquarter that deals with uk retail customers and is regulated in the uk

hsbc has its headquarters in londonjolly jape indeed

the fund itself may invest overseas but the investment companies i am talking about are based in Scotland and currently subject to uk wide tax and regulatory regimes

when the product involved is an intangible service which is highly regulated with distinct tax regimes, they most certainly do particularly retail customers

what relevance is any of that to my question?

how many people invest their pensions outside their own country? as for banking, do you think that many retail customers will bank with a company in a foreign country? FFS get a grip (see, i can do that as well)
