  1. There are good reasons why Ethan hasn't been playing. Cannot read a game. Never tracks back, closes down, or marks anyone. Cannot tackle or pass on his right. Opposition can stroll past his right side or block his left side causing him to spin round because he cannot do anything else. Give him space and time and yes he has a good left foot. But otherwise he has too many faults that haven't improved since he was 16.

    Not forgetting he’s basically shite !
  2. Sorry, don't see your logic there?
    I have supported Saints through thick and thin from 1959, yes the year of our Cup success.
    In these days crowds of 12 to 15,000 were regular and a quiet day was around 8,000. On OF visits it was packed to the rafters with 20,000+ numbers.
    Throughout the 70's and 80's we all saw reduction in our support other than the terrible twins and even in Fergie's days we flirted with crowds of 6 to 10,000 but never regular repeats of the late 50's early 60's.
    So we then entered our real doldrum days of crowds of 2,500 to 3,500 and some longish periods in the second tier of Scottish football. From that period we have never really recovered and now here we are in the next century and we had less than 4,000 at our cup game and just over that for the previous league game.
    If we filled our stadium with 10,000 people each time we played, I would agree with you, but the reality of Scottish football, (and it is endemic) that you have to fight really hard to get above 6,000 unless you are the OF, Hearts, Hibs or Aberdeen.
    Hence you build a stadium to meet your projected requirements. We can fill in the corners if we ever get to a point that might match your hoped for aspirations.

    Spot on analysis.
