  2. The Jack Ross Interviews Thread

    in General St. Mirren Discussion

    Posted

    I spoke with my brother today, who was interviewing Tony Fitzpatrick for the 30th anniversary cup win. The feeling is that the Celtic game took it's toll. That is 3 high intensity games they have played prior to last night, and I have spoken to a few Celtic fans who were really impressed by the Saints. As he was leaving my brother met an angry Stephen McGinn, who said that the fans will see a positive reaction after last night's loss. Obviously not a good position to be in, but I feel there is enough talent and determination in the team to survive and avoid the drop.

    Fully deserved result from a brilliant performance. Delighted for the team and all the fans.

    Did anyone notice on the BBC Sports app, in the live scores section, that our result was immediately above Barcelona's result?

    Barcelona were in good company tonight, is all I can say.

    C.O.Y.S.

    Too slow.  It's only 9 or 10 minutes by train  currently, centre to centre, with bus and subway connections all meshed.

    the river couldn't compete.

    the first US troops to be landed in Europe in WWII came into Paisley Harbour.

    Clark Gable was one.

    i think he volunteered on the off-chance of meeting my Maw...

    It's got absolutely nothing to do with speed, but from a marketing perspective, it has everything to do with the experience.

    As long as we dredge it deep enough to dispose of the Jakies & Junkies that populate the high street. 

     

    They might turn into pirates, if they get the river to become commercially viable.

    Whilst not pub related per se, more shop related - they should really just demolish the piazza and the car park; let the shops go elsewhere and get the river opened up (and cleaned).

    I was just going to say that until I read your post. The river is a unique feature, not many towns have one running through the centre. I think open up the river and pedestrianize both sides with terraced bars, cafes, restaurants, specialty shops. The river can be dredged, no reason why water taxis similar to Amsterdam cannot run between Paisley and Glasgow. In fact to and from anywhere on the Clyde. If Paisley really wants to attract more people, it has to offer something really unique. The river holds the key.

    Credit where credit is due. JR's half time substitution today was a massive contributor in us turning around the semi final today. Hope we can maintain the 2nd half performance into the league fixtures

    I agree, the Morgan substitution was instrumental. The team played with great confidence in the 2nd half. Lets hope that they can continue to produce what they have shown to be capable of.

    Born in Paisley in 1956 and emigrated to Canada in 1974 when I was 18. Have lived around the world, including 18 years in Madrid, where I regularly attended the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, Hala Madrid! Currently in London, before heading back to Canada. My brother is one of the commentators for St.Mirren radio and I listen to all the games. I attended my very first game at Love Street in 1962 with my father.
