    Kombibuddie got a reaction from RichardBuddie in The Humble Pie Thread   
    Last season, I described Curtis Main as the worst St Mirren player i've ever seen.
    He brought nothing to the team.
    Ran around like a headless chicken.
    Couldn't/wouldn't jump. His jump was getting both feet off the ground then pull his knees up. His head got little further from the ground than if he was stood tall.
    I found it bewildering that he wasn't got rid of in the summer. Stephen Robinson has done a magnificent job in changing my mind, he's getting loads out of him, clearly knew there was a player in there & we are starting to see him.
    Not a bad jump on Sunday to set up that 2nd goal.
    Curtis Main, delighted to say, you're doing great this season. Keep it up fella.

    He lived on Blackburn Square, can't remember his name (GH rings a bell though).
     
    my wife is from Helmsdale (Sutherland), some of her family & friends caught the bus from Brora Rangers ground to Govan. 480 mile return trip to watch shite.
    In adulthood, they're not so interested in football these days.

    Cheers, that bit was obvious. Carlibar, Springhill or Cross Arthurlie.
    My class at Auchenback in the 70's was fairly mixed with St Mirren & the other 2. There was a Partick Thistle fan in the year above.

    Shull, if you don't mind me asking, what primary school?
    I had a couple of St Mirren supporting classmates in primary too. They are still St Mirren diehards, as are their families.
    My best mate is a rangers supporter, i've brought his (now) 12 year old son to a few St Mirren matches over the past couple of seasons, he now talks about 'us' & 'we' when talking about St Mirren & got his 1st season ticket this season.
    Some heads will be swayed. I have no doubt. 
    Nonetheless, it's a great initiative that will hopefully prove successfull for St Mirren whilst enhancing The Club' stature & community club credentials.

    Got to say at foxbar primary when I went there, more rangers fans than saints. Would have made my dad ill if I had supported anyone else that saints. Should imagine the same mix would have been with amochrie and brediland primaries too as st Paul's was predominantly celtic but this is passed through generations with certain clubs linked with religion. Quite sad really when you look back at that.
     
    Camphill was no different really until the Murray/Souness bottomless cash pit to success rolled in and many jumped ship.
     
    Oh and then one day in 1987 they temporarily jumped back over.
     
     
    Back to the original topic anyway, good commercial move by the club imo as most age ranges for this will need an accompanying paying adult. That in turn may increase club shop sales, etc on match days.
     
    Down our way, workington went with this approach last season and my daughter’s one lasts for this season too. My lads on the other hand take turns on using it when we get the chance to pop along as there is no photo on the card season pass. Still bank of dad when we go🥺🥺🥺🥺

    Different fella.
    A lad who lived on Craigton Drive was signed by Partick Thistle, around the late 70's early 80's.
    His mum would be scouring the streets around 9:45 pm as a Partick coach would phone their house at 10pm to make sure he was home.

    For some folk, going back to a previous job, is not for them.
    I'll respect Jack' decision. As others have said, he took us on a cracking football adventure & for that, he'll always have my thanks. We enjoyed the trip.

    Rightly so.
    Disappointed (at the time) that he left but don't begrudge him going. I doubt there is man alive that would turn down the significabt payrise, it s rumoured he got.
    Hopefully, his luck will turn quickly & he's in a new job soon.
    I wish him well but not when playing St Mirren.
