The Original 59er

Why, where is he going?

Glad you included an "E" in there

He didn't have much to do last night but when we were two up and as usual stopped concentrating and gave them their best chance of the night, he came up with a belter of a save. It was a reaction save, but it was good and he would have been right to berate his defence for exposing him that way!

I said it at the time of the Aberdeen game, everyone has a bad day at the office, for many of us we can 'hide' and get away with that bad day, but for a footballer and on live national TV, there isn't any hiding place. Overall he has been a good person to have in both the team and the squad. He is good on the attack and isn't a passenger by any means. Outside of the game, he is as committed as any of the players to participate in Club activities, and is almost first to offer up himself for selfies or discussions with the fans. So he has my vote as a positive member of a great season at Saints. P.S. - Who will forget the Bounty Bar incident easily!

That team has Scottish League two in the lower half written all over it

ok, I get it Paul Chalmers had his doubtful supporters and if you take Shull's heading as being the driving force of this post, he's out of the all time greats. Can I add Gary Peebles then?

Tell you who I did have a sneaking admiration for way back then.................... Bald Bobby Adamson with the comb over - he knew the way to the net at times.

Ok I'll withdraw Paul Chalmers from the list, it must be my fading memory of his talents that escaped my enthusiasm for the team at the time

..............................and Tommy Henderson. He played in the '62 Cup Final against the Blue Meanies and they had the slightly better Wullie Henderson on the opposite wing. The bold Tommy didn't hold a candle was my recollection!

My recollection was he had a pretty poor touch and certainly didn't put the foot in.......................... prepared to be proven wrong. ............................ and to add to my now growing list, Victor Genev

Paul Chalmers and Moussa Dagnogo

Completely agree

On paper this looks a good bit of business. There is nothing wrong in bringing in a bit of experience into the dressing room at this stage in the season. If he can sit in, in front of the back three and break up play then that might have worked reasonably well on Saturday. Don't have any issues with this signing.

Yes 41 pages! The washing machines in and around the town will now be in full wash mode and the knickers will be hung out to dry for another 6 months.

I'm outside city limits!

Is there a dry pair of knickers in Paisley at present?

Straight from the Club's own website from 7th February - Keep calm (and cross your fingers)!: St Mirren manager Jack Ross was named the Ladbrokes Championship Manager of the Month yesterday, after picking up 10 points out of 12 in the month of January. The team have been in fine form over the New Year period, going on a nine game unbeaten run in the league. But The Saints’ gaffer doesn’t fear his team will get ahead of themselves. It was the second month in a row that the gaffer has picked up the award and he said: "I know people always say ‘how to do you stop players from getting carried away’ or ‘make sure their feet are on the ground’, but what I have here is a group I’ve worked, in the main, with over the last year. Ross is also keeping his own feet on the ground and insists he isn't phased by the prospect of potentially managing in the Premiership next season, if his side are able to hold on to first spot in the Scottish Championship. St Mirren currently sit 14 points ahead of second place club Dundee Utd. He continued: "I don't really think too much about it, simply because - and I'm not saying you don't ever allow yourself to think further ahead - I just love managing full stop.

This has been one hell of a post to welcome a new player to the club. Unfortunately it has descended into some of the usual slagging that pi**es off a number of members to the degree they look elsewhere. That aside, I will go on record and say that I cautiously welcome Myles to the club. Any time I've seen him play he has been dangerous, enigmatic and yes inconsistent, but in many ways he reminds me of a couple of players from a few years ago, George McLean and Jim Blair. I appreciate that some might splutter in the coffee with him being mentioned in the same breath as these two, but they both brought something to the game that no-one else in the team had and that was tall and awkward, with an ability with the ball at their feet, frustratingly enigmatic and yes at times inconsistent in form, but they were good players and contributed well to the team efforts at the time. George came to the club at the age of 17 and only stayed with us two years before heading along Glasgow Road for a few miles, and Jim Blair played for us twice and initially arrived at the age of 20. So 23 isn't that old or impossible an age to shape into a better player, and given he has a Manager in front of him now that can appear to turn a few shiny nuggets into gold, you just never know with someone like Myles, he might just be that kind of acquisition. Yes he has had a bit of a reputation for some single pike dives, but that can be knocked out of him by both team mates and Management. Give him a chance guys, and to LPM I hope you are made to eat your words!

Oh believe me I am enjoying it, I just can't quite grab the optimism bug to the same extent that others have contracted over the last two games. I will be there for them, I will suffer the roller coaster and I will celebrate and let Ella belt out 'Summertime' when that final point in the season has been reached.

I thought he was definitely the MotM last night. His goal was good but his defending towards the end of the game was brilliant. I have been waiting to see Saints defenders put themselves in the path of shots for ages and it was something I think we have been lacking, but not last night. When you watch the English Premiership and Championship you constantly see defenders put their bodies in front of shots and take one for the team. That's exactly what Jack Baird did for the team last night.

Brilliant post, well done. It will have planted the idea in a few folks heads that they could make a wee sojourn up into the hills after a 'relaxing' visit to Barcelona

This entire post is literally The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Gordon and the Spiders from Mars material. Out of this world!

This is a dog eat dog league. There is no Manchester City in this league that is SO MUCH better than the rest, but there is one that has kicked on from this time last year and continued the form they carried from January through to May . However I am a supporter that has been through thick and thin with this club from as far back as I can remember as an eight year old when my Dad lifted me over the turnstiles at LS, so I never take anything for granted and I never think it's over until Ella Fitzgerald is belting out her classics. Keep winning and let nature take its course with the rest of the teams over the next three months and we should do ok!

Not for the first time!

I'm not actually remotely serious about AS. I posted because there is so much rubbish in this overall subject that if you are going to throw names around then you may as well add Stokes into the discussion as much as anyone else. If anyone can't read into that irony, then heaven help us! Both Stokes and Murray are away outside our budget and added to that if Lennon can't control AS after two attempts he is obviously pretty bad news. The whole subject is really very laughable. Guess and conjecture as much as you want, but treat each and every post as a joke!
