Me and two mates ( Spencey and big Davy C ) ran a bus to the Aberdeen v St Mirren game in 1980 . A full bus left the cellar bar at £3.25 a ticket . Mind chapping the door of the guy who ran Carruth buses , who lived on Caledonia Street and agreeing to pay him in advance .

Great performance today . Great link up play and great partnerships through out the team . Full backs got forward and constantly got crosses in , Mandron led the line well and constantly linkedup play from the front .Kwon was superb ,excellent positioning ,seldom wasting a ball and constantly got stuck in , Kiltie , Scott and CBM had great games too . Hemmings had little to do , but what he did he did well . Not often I've seen a Saints team where everyone plays well .

Seems he was caught in a trap at Southend .

Think he could be a right good player . He was disillusioned at Southend having played under several managers , not received wages because the club were bankrupt and seen some players get the opportunity to move on but himself held back because Southend wanted too much money . His move to Iceland was to make him a free agent . Could be a great signing . Wonder if Anton Ferdinand was involved in any way .

So the guy on the right is Archie Rose , Archie played most his career at Stenhousemuir and holds the record for league appearances for Stenhousemuir . Think he might have even been Stenhousemuirs manager when Saints appointed him as a coach . He used to be my boss and would give me the odd Saints story . Good guy .

Checked his twitter account and saw a couple of clips . He was one of the youngest players to get to 100 first team appearances for Southend and also played for Southend when they were in league one . Seems like he was a great prospect as a youngster ( four Southend player of the month awards in a season ) im thinking he naybe lost his way a bit and hopefully Saints can get the best out of him .

Still young , still learning , still improving ,being mentored to take over from Keanu Baccus . Another good bit of business by the management team .

And with Lee Johnsons longer contract the outgoing failed Hibs manager will likely get a superb compensation package .

Injuries will force Saints into having a team that is very comfortable with the ball at their feet and also with a bit of pace up front . Our problem will be whether the referee gives us any protection or will let them kick us off the park . Still fancy us for a win though .

I look forward to see how effective our forwards are in this game , Easter Road seems a big park and we have a bit of pace in our attack so it will be interesting to see how fast these guys are against a premiership team . Will also be good to see Mandron is against Premiership opposition. Coys .

Sort of agree with this . I would prioritise a midfielder , a left back and a central defender above a striker at this stage . Though it would be nice to bring in all four .

Hopefully this deal will allow us to bring in an experienced centre half that's strong in the air and a good organiser and Lewis Strapp . Which would Hopefully give us sufficient cover in defence.

But how do we squeeze the " mystery striker " into the starting line up .

We have Keith Lasley and Martin Foyle both doing key jobs , I,m sure with these guys in the background Robbo can get on with the job .

Think it all points to him .
