Players: Gilles, Murray, Lavtey, Ludo, Thompson and Stephen McGinn.
Manager: Jack Ross
Cant put them in order but think those would be my favourite.

I would take him till the end of the season 100%. He's a natural goalscorer and if Jim can get something out of him he will be exactly what we need.
He's obviously got issues. It's a bit of a mental dressing room at Dundee with people like McGowan, Adam and Cummings. Maybe wasn't the best place for him to settle down and focus.
-
He deserves the time to turn it around. We are on a bad run but we've seen and been through much worse.

Is there any possibility of replacing the dome with a proper building and sports facility?
I don't see why we don't aim for something like we had in the Caledonia stand at Love St. Spend a few hundred grand on it and get proper gym and sports facilities that can be used by the community 7 days a week.
If it takes a few years to save for it then so be it. These stop-gap initiatives like the dome are just half measures and money down the drain IMO.

You've missed the point, communication is required to let everyone know exactly what is happening.
I'm astounded that people are trying to distance him from comments he made before he was "in a position of authority within football".
I certainly don't want a "punter" in charge of the football club.
And trying write his "bridge" comment off as a joke shows a staggering lack of awareness of the implications.
If anyone thinks it's a joke they really need to reevaluate what's funny, it's just crass patter.
I'm not going into the rights or wrongs of what he has done with this communication point.
The point I'm making is, If the he/the club has decided that he is going to stay then what else should they say in the media about it?
It looks like they plan to ride this storm out. If that's the case theres nothing else for them to say. They aren't going to keep bringing it up. Whether you think they are right allowing him to stay is a different matter but it's not to do with communication.

He made the bridge comment weeks before being confirmed as chairman and whilst directly associated with the club governance structure.
I was referring to the other comments when he called them H*ns. But yes, the bridge one was pretty bad considering his position at the time.

I think you make the point yourself. It is about context. Friend to friend it has some humour. In public when you are in a position of authority within the football world then funny it is not. Foolish and provocative. Seats and graffiti anyone?
He made these comments about H*ns when he was not in a position of authority within football though. Thats the point here. He was just a guy going to the games as a fan like the rest of us.

I think we'll put a few past them on Saturday. Brophy to get his first goal at home for us.
3-0 Saints

St Mirren in poor communication shocker. 😉
If he's planning to stay theres nothing else to communicate.

I'd rather give them W6 & 7 again than give them the family stand. It's embarrassing for the TV and must be demoralising for the players to see away fans at both ends. What was the reason we moved the OF fans from W6 & 7 to the family stand again?

I had a skim through the posts and stand by my original comment, would Stuart Gilmour or Tony have behaved like this? I think we know the answer. One of the things that a lot of posters haven’t picked up on is the fact that he was in charge of RBS while some of these posts were published!! That really makes me think that Hubris played a big part.
I suppose you need to ask yourself a couple of questions: if the chairman of Rangers or Celtic or Hearts, Hibs had posted a comment on Twitter about Stmirren fans polluting the area by there very existence, would you expect them to resign? Would these comments enhance that clubs standing in Scottish football?
When you put a fan in charge of the club this sort of stuff has to be expected.
Stewart and Tony spent most of their career in the public eye or at least have been public names for the entire time social media has existed so the comparison between them and JN is unfair.
The squinty bridge tweet aside, everything else was said prior to him being involved with the club in an official capacity. He hasn't said anything most other St Mirren fans haven't also said.
It's wrong to hold him to a higher standard for things he said as a fan years ago. You can't pick some Joe Bloggs (a fan) off the street to be chairman then be surprised if they have a few unsavoury tweets from the past.
-
We can't put a fan in charge of the club then be surprised when some unprofessional/Non-PC tweets emerge from their history.
Making those comments as a fan is completely different from making them as the Chairman of our club.

His family members are all over social media claiming the club statement is an outright lie!
There is a fair chance that they might have access to the true facts.
Theres a fair chance to club have access to the true facts as well.
I don't have a problem at all with him wanting to leave. I just don't see whats wrong with the club letting the fans know what happened. We always complain when they leave us in the dark, now they tell us and they are the bad guys.

Disappointing statement from the club. Cannot blame Kyle for wanting to better himself and make more money. Had every right to turn down new contract. He’s a professional and can not afford sentimentality to govern his career. If l was in his shoes l would be swapping scrapping at the bottom for scrapping at the top, better wages and a manager he knows will make him a better player and help potentially move to even better things. He might be our captain but a quick look around the club these past few years would not fill you with hope for the future. Best of luck Kyle and to the board up your game and your PR
What's wrong with the statement? They have just stated the facts and wished him well at the end. Providing the facts are true I don't see anything wrong with it.
-
If our CEO doesn't think we are capable of finishing in the top 6 then we would have a major problem.
Tony is absolutely right to have said what he said. Its not fairytale ambition to say we can finish in the top 6 when smaller clubs than us like Killie, Livi and Motherwell done it last year.
-
The self righteousness of Hearts and Patrick is embarrassing. Trying to take the moral high ground the way they are condemning the clubs who voted in self interest.
Do they really think we believe they wouldn't have voted the same if they weren't shite enough to find themselves bottom of the league?

Unfortunately, it seems difficult for substantial change to take place without an element of violence and confrontation. Look at injustices closer to home in Northern Ireland.
There has been a lot of research done to show that non violent protests are actually much more effective
You can see why this is the case. A large amount of the discussion now is focused around condemning the looters rather than talking about the real issue of racism and police brutality.

£480 now... £540 after early bird.
Value for money? For what?
I'm basically being asked to donate to the club to help keep it afloat...
With the threat of losing seats we have held since the first full season if we don't snap them up.
I get that. To those who can afford it... Great stuff.
I'm currently furloughed.
No idea when or if I will be able to return to work.
Come August, almost certainly on reduced wages.
Taking a step back and being totally rational... I genuinely cannot justify buying season tickets at this time.The club should do something about this point. They should make the exception that people done lose their seats if they don't buy a season ticket this season. It may be worth bringing it up with the club, they need to show flexibility as much as they can in a time like this.

So do u go and give money to ur local shops, bookies etc that aren’t open to support them?
Fans have an emotional connection to a football club. Thats the point of supporting a club.
If my relationship with football was purely transactional like it is with local shops and bookies I'd support Barcelona.

I see the BBC headlining with news that the made up R number has increased and it’s been driven upwards by care homes
Lets take a hypothetical example
1,000 are infected in the community and pass it on to 2 people
1,000 are infected in care homes and pass it on to 3 people
The R number is therefore 2.5
Now let’s say both the number infected and the R number in both reduce
You now have 100 infected in the community and they pass it on to 1 person each
And there are 900 infected in care homes and they now pass it on to 2.8 people each
the R number is now 2.62
So, despite the number infected and the R number in both communities dropping, the total R number has gone up
Go figure....
I don't think they are suggesting that the R number should be looked at in isolation. Its just another data point to consider along side others. Your example is a good example to show why the R number can't be looked at alone.

Ur saying u wanted to but u don’t know what ur renewing for, ur saying u hope it’s not Buddievision, so what are u expecting? I find it absolutely extraordinary that anybody would renew just now without having a clue what you are buying...
Its called supporting the club.

So if St Mirren were in the same position as Thistle are currently then you would come on here and write that ?
The principle of Partick Thistle being relegated stinks and if people can get over the vested interest in Hearts going down to then that stinks also.
Its an utter embarrassment from start to finish of self interest, financial greed and just a basic lack of interest in doing what is right.
St Mirren board are part of it and now they want to sell season tickets without any idea of how or when football is going to be played next season.
This is a once in a hundred year global pandemic. Nobody is out to get Partick Thistle. They've just been really unlucky and found themselves at the bottom of the league when this all hit.
There's no agenda here or better solution. Shit happens.
Do I expect them to be happy about it? No, but I expect them to suck it up and move on. The club is 120+ years old. I'm sure they'll get over it.

First things first. We need that independent investigation into the SPFL ASAP. Surely everyone agrees, scottish football has been in long term decline. Nothing personal, no agenda, but for them to refuse this, tells you all you need to know. If Rangers are wrong, they will be proven to be, so why not go for it SPFL? To resist only makes you and our game even more of a laughing stock. Please agree to the independent review for the sake of our game.
An independent review into what exactly? They already had an independent review done by Deloitte into the voting situation and it was determined that there was nothing wrong.

"For the first time in many seasons, and due to popular demand, we will be returning to the historic striped home shirt"
Why didnt the Club respect the popular demand of the fans in the many previous Seasons ?
Fecking bullshitters
They say this same pish every time we come back to the traditional stripes after being away from them for a few seasons. Im sure they said that exact same line last time

What's the point in paying his wages till the end of the season for him to sit on the bench?
When you send a player in the last year of his contract on a season long loan, then surely we couldn't have expected him to do anything else other than leave us at the end of the season.
