Kilmarnock v St Mirren 16/3/24
MenstrieSaint replied to faraway saint's topic in Matchday & Travel Club
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 .

Elvis is alive and he's a Saint

Seems he was caught in a trap at Southend . -

MenstrieSaint replied to Cookie Monster's topic in General St. Mirren Discussion
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 .

St Mirren v Aberdeen SPFL Premiership 27/8/23
MenstrieSaint replied to shull's topic in Matchday & Travel Club
And with Lee Johnsons longer contract the outgoing failed Hibs manager will likely get a superb compensation package . -
Hibernian v St Mirren SPFL Premiership 6/8/23
MenstrieSaint replied to shull's topic in Matchday & Travel Club
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 . -
Hibernian v St Mirren SPFL Premiership 6/8/23
MenstrieSaint replied to shull's topic in Matchday & Travel Club
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 . -
Do We Need A Director Of Football?
MenstrieSaint replied to HSS's topic in General St. Mirren Discussion
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 .
-
Can you see us getting Theirry Small again on a seasons loan ?
-
Has he arrived at the club and started training yet ?
-
Always considered Carson as steady , does the simple things well , good with both feet and doesn't drop clangers . Think he could be better coming out for crosses . Zach Hemmings with a decent defence in front of him should be OK. Though I would love us to go for Vaclav on loan .
-
Could Ryan Flynn take over this role ?
-
I had hoped we might have made a move for Morton Full backs Liam Grimshaw and Lewis Strapp .
-
Seems I'm wrong and HSS is totally correct . I'm using old age as an excuse.
-
I seem to think Jimmy Bone just played through the summer in Hong Kong , and played for Hearts the season after he left St Mirren .

Squad 2023/24 Arrivals & Departures
MenstrieSaint replied to Ronnie's topic in General St. Mirren Discussion
I think that would be a decent fee , but disagree that he,s been awful . I think we had big expectations of him after the world Cup that didn't materialise , but he is still a consistent and steady performer who is able to.play at a higher level . -
AW gets back onto the board but is still barred from the stadium. I would vote for that .

Squad 2023/24 Arrivals & Departures
MenstrieSaint replied to Ronnie's topic in General St. Mirren Discussion
I'm thinking Shaunessy and Dunne will be top of Jim Goodwins shopping list and will end up at Tannadice , Tony Watt will probably join them . Think Baccus and Strain will have had a lot of teams showing interest and Saints will sell both . Ideally I would like them to sign new contracts, but I can't see that happening. Can see us bringing over another couple of Australian players if these guys move on . Hoping there's truth in the rumours of the three players coming to us ( Bowie , Saud, Bedenau ) all are of a good age and will have potential to improve. Looking forward to seeing who Martin Foyle recommends . Would like us to go with a slightly bigger squad this year . Pleased that we will have a decent group of players in place at the start of the season to give us a decent League Cup campaign.
