    bud84 got a reaction from Big_Mougie in Darren Whyte vs Jack Ross   
    There was 11 hopeless performances in that starting side yesterday and you choose to highlight the young guy who was only brought into the team as cover because of suspensions. He was far from the worst player in the side,  Gavin Reilly and Ian Mcshane are experienced players and both were horrendous yesterday,  I'd be alot more worried about them than a young boy who's trying to kick start a career in football.

    Great to have him back for next season. 
    He should start every week in my opinion. He's a goal threat from left  back and creates chances from right back. I see why jack went with Irvine and Eckersley mostly but think that was more to do with where we were in the league at the time. We're not starting the season from playing catch up and can afford to take chances right from the off whereas losing an early goal in any game towards the end of the season wasn't a risk worth taking considering the position we were in. 
    Throw caution to the wind this season and blow teams away and we'll hopefully be celebrating a title win.

    bud84 reacted to Balmullo Bud in Jack Ross - Manager of the Month   
    Was speaking to John Nelms last night. He was presenting trophies at my son's football team's awards night. Unfortunately I was introduced to him as a "massive St Mirren fan", so he was a wee bit guarded.
    He was telling me that his Texan consortium tried to buy us when we were up for sale, but the asking price was way over what the club was worth. He said he really liked the club, but the Dundee deal was much better for them. He also spoke about the idea of advertising on the stadium roof for planes from the airport.

    I obviously asked about Jack Ross. He said that he had 6 managers on his list, but Saints refused permission to approach Jack. I notice he's quoted in this morning's papers saying he didn't break any rules and didn't approach Jack, but his friend did say he had arranged flights to go and speak to him.
    Helms also said that "they monitor lots of up and coming managers" and that he is "a big admirer of Jack" and "he is definitely still on our radar".

    Later in our conversation I asked about us getting Loy back on loan, joking that I would buy him a beer in return. Helms did say that he had spoken to Jack about that situation recently, but didn't give anything away about the outcome. I wonder if Loy was all he spoke to Jack about???
    Anyway, he seemed a nice guy and it was interesting hearing about his past interest in buying us.

    So player does well attracts the interest of bigger clubs but we offer them a new improved contract which they sign and everyone lauds the actions of the club as great business yet some suggest the same principal should not apply to a manager.  What a warped narrow mind some of our so called supporters have. Were these same idiots accusing Kyle Magennis of "holding the club to ransom" - no they were praising both player and club for keeping a talent with us. Total wallopers !!!!

    What a lot of wet panties on this thread. What is the lure of Dundee? A premier league club that avoided relegation by the skin of their teeth with the same prospect for next season. What is JR going to achieve there? - sod all. He stays with us he gets a chance to actually win something (which there is no hope at Dundee) and raises his profile significantly maybe interesting a big club. Dundee are not a big club and he would be wasting a great opportunity by going there. It ain't going to happen.

    Mate I have no idea what he is doing all I'm saying if the Thistle story is ( true ) then I would expect him to sign for Thistle. This is 2017 Stelios could be in New Zealand does it matter as players have agents plus communications now are far better than it was 50 years ago

    Goalies? O'Brien to continue as No1 for me, with the experienced Langfield as back up and continuing to work with O'Brien as coach. More continuity - Ross, Fowler, Langfield, Smith, MacKenzie, Baird.... keep it going, get Stelios and a few others from last season fixed up too IMHO.
    The prospect of us actually keeping the majority of a well-performing squad together and the current season still has the cup final and playoffs to go is frankly astounding... usually we have bagged a manager, we require three quarters of a new team, and we're still trying to sign new guys after the first two games of the new season.
    The way Joma Jack is going about things is highly encouraging. The signs are, for the first time in a long time, we aren't starting from scratch every bloomin' close season, and I see O'Brien and Langfield as being parts of the jigsaw I'd personally keep in place.
    Can't wait for the new season... FFS, when's the last time we felt that way?

    I can remember a game at love st, not long after he left us,  we scored a late goal to equalise 2-2 I think, I was at the back of the stand, where a large group of St Mirren fans were jeering Fergie as he left the ground alone in tears, most were thinking the late goal must have really hurt him, and found it quite amusing, I found it very sad that they could jeer the great man, a short while later Toshie told us Fergie had just been informed his dad had died,    am not so sure we endeared ourselves as fans that night,  does anyone one else remember that night

    Last season you wrote off Callum Ball in pre season and were then singing his praises before Xmas.
    You also defended Tommy Craig most of the season.
    I think we can safely ignore your opinions on players and managers!
