  1. I tried ordering one of the north bank t-shirts last year but every time I entered the website I’d get one of those dodgy scam pop ups.
  2. On the contrary it should be in the small print on the tickets for Celtic and Sevco fans - Entry = Neutering, and eventually they can’t breed any more and Scottish football will be decent again in 30 years time.
  3. To be fair, it didn't do Denmark any harm, drafted in at the last minute and won the tournament. In my defence I was still in my mother’s womb when that tournament was taking place.
  4. I can’t imagine this would be true. It doesn’t make sense to openly invite them into one of our home ends for financial reasons then deny the opportunity of further financial gain from the little scrotes sneaking into the remaining home ends, while also denying our non ST holders the chance to go. If they were to hand one extra stand to the bigots while denying our non ST fans entry, then that would be absolutely outrageous. I’m no big fan of the board right now but I can’t imagine they would step down to that level.
  5. Unfortunately instead of outrage, this is the sort of thing that will actually appeal to all the xenophobic cunts out there.
  6. It can’t be much of a life posting on another team’s forum to try and get their lowly satisfaction.
  7. Tbh I’d rather Scotland get there through a proper route. After a 22 year absence from a tournament this would be an embarrassing way to re-enter.
  8. I forgot you were still here 😂 I’ve been avoiding the Shull section of the forum recently. Why is this odious little cretin still here? Saints got more of a contribution from Greg Tansey than the forum gets from the premier wankstain.
  9. I think the one thing we can definitely agree on is that today’s result is a very delightful three points. With us finally doing something other than losing away from home, hopefully that’s a weight off their shoulders and they kick on from here.
  10. Get in there, sounds like they’ve actually reacted to the midweek shitfest and put in 100%. Delighted for Cammy McPherson, well done young man. Fearing the worst regarding Paul McGinn being injured - that leaves us with two defenders - hopefully he’s alright.
  11. Hackies 2-0 Saints Hopefully I’m wrong and we pump them 6-0
  12. If those two sign there will be queues all over to get into the ground.
  13. Ross County fans up to no good as usual.
  14. I would agree that the first season back up is about survival. The target was met, which I’m thankful for. We were lucky that Dundee were absolutely woeful, but at the same time that’s Dundee’s fault for being that way and that worked in our favour. The first half of the season wasn’t your typical survival though trying to pick up what you can, we spent the whole time checking up the results of Accies and Dundee because we were hopeless. I’m in two minds regarding the League Cup debacle. I agree that the players we had should have sealed progress either way, but the squad was also quite threadbare at the time and options were limited. Most of our bench was filled with youth players and we had no depth - it’s that side of it where I blame the board (I don’t blame Gus for anything as his job role has never been specified 100% by the club - a question I would like to ask the ins and outs of it if I was to ever attend a Q&A). For me the blame here goes both ways for seperate reasons. The lack of defensive cover has to be blamed on the individual who decided Baird should go out on loan, and whoever thought 1 LB (who can’t face Killie) and 1 RB would be enough. Whether that’s Goodwin, GLS, Gus, Fitzy, someone messed up big time there. I think our personal meanings of this progress are different. Yes, you are certainly correct - we are in a higher league than where we started. In that sense, yes we’ve made progress. For me though, I don’t see the club heading anywhere right now, the same mistakes are being repeated over and over, and my concern is that we are not doing enough to prevent a quick relegation which would place us back to square one. Relegation within 2 or 3 years isn’t really progress if we start off where we began.
  15. I wish I could see it that way, but I can’t. The turnaround under Jack Ross was fantastic. We haven’t exactly built on that though. We scraped survival last season, basically spending a fair bit of the McGinn windfall on ending contracts and helping to pay the wages of the new guys. Then we have the battle of opinions regarding Kearney (I won’t go into that with you again as we agree to differ) but either way we started pre-season without a manager. The League Cup exit was a complete embarrassment, and swiftly ended one of our two hopes of a trophy this season. We were led into believing the main reason behind this exit was that we were waiting on better signings. Considering we couldn’t score from open play against three part time sides, we were bloody hoping for it. So far, the good signings seem to limit to just three - Foley, McLoughlin and Broadfoot. We entered the season with 5 defenders and no full back cover for Waters the moment we met Kilmarnock. Our three strikers (leaving Cody out as he has been injured) have something like 5(?) goals between them. Just like last season, we once again look like relegation fodder. We are now looking for a third “big January” in four seasons to bale us out. I don’t see this as progress, I see it as a stagnation that will result in eventual relegation. If that happens, I don’t see us making a swift return back to the top flight. I want to be optimistic, I want to feel like we are progressing. But this does not look applicable to the word “progression.”
  16. Progress? We’ve spent 5 of the last 6 seasons at the bottom end of whichever league we were in. We also managed to get papped out of the League Cup in one of the easiest groups we could ever face.
  17. I was under the impression that Div’s explanation of the accounts meant that the original McGinn money was accounted for. Unless you are meaning the 330K from the promotion bonus, in which case I’m not going to lie, I forgot about that part after reading it 😂
  18. Positive to see profit made, and positive to see we are still a debt free club. Long term concerns me though - we’ve been riding on the transfer fees of selling youth for a while and we can’t always rely on that. With a fee spent on McAllister and the compensation wasted on sacking a decent manager in Kearney, I feel we already destined ourselves to be making a loss come the next accounts. I hope to f**k I’m wrong though.
  19. The key thing is that this is happening more and more. Indeed, Virgin Care and Branson are picking up quite a few of these contracts. This isn’t the beginning, this is already the situation right in front of us.
  20. The most pointless draw in the history of the Euros has been made. Group A - Italy, Switzerland, Turkey, Wales Group B - Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Russia Group C - Austria, Netherlands, Ukraine, Playoff D(?) Group D - Croatia, Czech Republic, England, Playoff C Group E - Poland, Spain, Sweden, Playoff B Group F - France, Germany, Portugal, Playoff A(?) *Play-off Winner A is allocated to Group F and Play-off Winner D to Group C. If Romania qualify as Path A winners, they will play in Group C and Play-off Winner D is switched to Group F. Shittest draw ever with all the guarantees already in place. Belgium already knew they were facing Denmark, Russia, and one of Finland or Wales. Kevin De Bruyne slams Fake Draw As for Scotland, if we do the unthinkable and actually qualify, then we can look forward to tanking England.
  21. Why do players not just leather it? Placement always relies on the keeper being wrong. Power just means smash it on target and the keepers chances are limited.
  22. Full back is a priority IMO, with no cover for Waters or P.McGinn (even worse when we play Killie). Muzek would be ideal to get back.
  23. Tory Car Crash Interview The Tory/Nicky Morgan Calculator seems to think 50,000-19,000=50,000. We are always used to seeing some MPs crash and burn under pressure in these interviews, but this is going to take some beating.
