    When people comment on tragic events on social media relating to football teams with "rivalries aside from a xxxxx fan"
    You saw it alot with the Leicester helicopter crash and when she wee boy who was the Sunderland fan died of cancer.
    "Rivalries aside from a Newcastle fan"
    Why do you need to mention what football team you support or even say rivalries aside? Just post your message and leave football out of it.
    Wow that's really great of you to show empathy for a dying child who supports a different football team to you.

    It's far better that we have our own database with our own data now than being held over a barrel by some 3rd party company.
    Interstadia were a joke and the system never worked. The current situation isn't perfect either but at least we own and control our own data. Thats an improvement.

    Having worked in computers since the 60s and still running and building websites for businesses today, I know that user error played no part in the interstadia f**k-ups.  Being patient and supportive, I tried to help them resolve it.  They failed.
    I must have had 10000 emails delivered to and from my email address, but interstadia couldn’t recognise it.  The sole inept company with which I tried to do business.
    There was also constant f**k-ups with the old system, cards not being recognised, entry being denied, queues at turnstiles, non-admissions.  It was never better in the past.  Different f**k ups, different bits that worked. Never better.
    You’re fantasising to fit a weird agenda and… when you so desperately scrape the barrel with sad, tired ageist and ad hominem tropes… you’re obviously as inadequate and bereft of credible/true thoughts as fartaway.
    You're simply unbelievable.

    LargsBud got a reaction from Scott-Leeds in Scotland Football Club   
    I just don't see any positive attributes from him. He's got no presence at all as a striker, isn't fast, isn't strong, doesn't score etc. 
    I agree he was far from the only problem today. Many of them had really bad games and the managers lack of ability to change anything is a big problem as well.
    It's just baffling that Adams seems to be a stick-on to start every game and it seems like its based on absolutely nothing as I don't see what he contributes at all.

    Che Adams has got to be one of the worst players I've ever seen playing for Scotland - and thats saying something.
    The game today was lost in midfield but having absolutely zero presence up front really didn't help.

    The introduction of Killie into the league probably gives us another 2 sold out away end games. With that said the cost of living crisis is going to have an impact this year for sure so I don't really see there being an increase on average attendance overall. Maybe a slight decrease.

    LargsBud got a reaction from Cumbriansaint72 in How much longer do we give the manager   
    I can't see him turning things around this season based on the fact we are looking worse and worse with each passing week. 
    I would like to have seen him get the chance to build his own team over the summer and start fresh. Unfortunately I don't think we can afford to wait till the summer now though.  
    We are in free fall at the moment and I think the only way to have a chance of turning it around is to get rid of him now and hope for a slight change in fortune in the last few games. If we don't do something now we are going down.

    If we lose against St Johnstone next week he has to go. 
    Don't like the idea of getting rid of managers this quickly but this has been a disaster on a new level so far. Beyond belief actually how bad it's been.

    Just seen a poll over in the madhouse that is the St Mirren fans Facebook page.
    Over 150 saying give the manager time.
    Just over 40 say he should go.
    Interesting as the most vocal on here are for shipping him out.

    LargsBud reacted to TopCat in Stephen Robinson   
    Yeah i thought Ian Murray was a good appointment too. With Murray and now Robinson, it became clear quite early on that it wasn't going to work out. I think Robinson may have done well coming into a struggling team who needed a rocket up their arse. But we weren't struggling, we didn't need any rockets or upheaval. Robinson brought the fireworks anyway, pissed the team off, and here we are. Fourth on PPG in February and looking like we are going to be 11th in May.
    It's interesting watching his interviews change as things have got progressively worse. His first few interviews were all 'good squad of players, we are aiming for top six, europe etc' Perfectly reasonable quotes given the situation inherited. Then we start losing and it's 'I always knew we were in a relegation battle but we have the players to get us out it'. Then the losses keep coming and it's 'only 14 fit players (which is a lie)' and implying the squad isn't good enough. m
    You can tell by his recent quotes that he thinks relegation is very much on, and he's now trying to protect his reputation by claiming it's actually not his fault and we were going down regardless of his appointment. No one with eyes is buying it of course, it's pretty much all his fault. He knows he'll be sacked if he takes us down and he's now thinking of his future employment prospects in his interviews. Terry Butchers managerial career effectively ended when he took Hibs down in 2014. What Robinson is doing to us is much worse, and you can hear the fear in his voice,.

    Indeed, they have rolled the dice and, at the moment, it looks like paying off, and with the money involved, big time. 
    Since they sacked Dyche they have drawn, won and are currently winning against Wolves.
    IF it stays as it is they will be above Everton who are odds on to get pumped today, although Everton will still have a game in hand. 
    UPDATE: Burnley did, in fact, win and are sitting above Everton.

    Theres always an overreaction by the media every time an English manager gets sacked in the EPL.
    He's had a good crack at it and they've been good to him as much as he's been good to them over the years.
    If anyone watched that game against Norwich they'd know how bad Burnley are at the moment. The board are entitled to roll the dice and hope for the 'new manager bounce' IMO. 
    It's either that or certain relegation because thats where it was going.

    LargsBud got a reaction from BuddieinEK in VAR Poll   
    I can't believe clubs are okay with the cost of VAR. £67k for the bottom club meaning everyone else is paying more. How is that worth it?
    For us thats an extra high-end earning player a year.
    Considering theres been all this fuss of giving the old firm 2 stands to make an extra £100k(ish) because that money is so important but they are happy to throw away more than £67k (£100k for mid table) without much complaints.

    LargsBud got a reaction from Helmettroll in St Mirren v Hibernian 23/4   
    Sacking Maloney now is a shocking decision. It shows that the Hibs board have no idea what their doing and theres no long term decisions being made.
    If you hire a rookie manager you implicitly sign up for giving the manager time and need to accept that there will be mistakes. You don't hire a guy to do a job he's never done before then be surprised when he makes mistakes. 
    Whether they should have hired a rookie manager in the first place is something else though.

    I wonder if this would be a good thread to discuss a bugbear of mine? If there is anyone who has some influence to fix this issue It would be most appreciated. 
    Since the start of this season  i have noticed that the SMISA wall between the main stand and family stand has been very difficult to read due to vehicles being parked right up against the wall (see photo below from hearts game) This makes it very difficult to view the names and impossible if your a wheelchair user. Saints fans and there relatives from other parts of the world visit now and again and have difficulty viewing the wall. Come on Saints, are you saying that our car parks not big enough? these are the fans that dug deep to help out  through out the years, show a bit of respect.
