The west cumbrian dialect certainly irritated when I first moved in 94. Even still to this day, they do live up the phrase dumbrians but keep that quiet as only scot in the depot😄

Don't forget Mc Tominay, he quite capable of the odd rash challenge 🙂

I'm not belittling the cup win for gods sake, the point I was trying to make is that they have been more consistent behind scenes than we have been(granted we have got the hang of it now). What I mean by that, getting promoted to premier with what was largely made up of players from lg1 days, only replacing where needed instead of wholesale transfer window changes. And having those players believing in themselves. If you read the original post, then you will see all I have pointed out that in JG's time as a player with us barring 1 season was a 10/11 position finish which would be a lot of grinding out results and I have no doubt that sets your outlook on how to approach games. Do I really care how many cups etc they have won, erm naw. Just like other saints fans baffled as to how we can be so negative with the team we have got now. Maybe original post didn't come across clear🙁

Bet you have looked at odds tho😄

Whilst I am not in any way saying that livi are a better team on paper to us, they are a more consistent club. What do I mean by that? For one, they have had a manager for years albeit in background until recently with Gary Holt fronting it. Martindale has always stated he didn't want his past from getting in way of team and would only consider job when time was right. Secondly they didn't have mass recruitment of players twice a season, which does look ridiculous when you look back along with the revolving managerial door. They also get the best out of what they have. Anyway enough about them. I have had a look at Jim Goodwins saints career with us and if you take away cup win, every season bar 1 was all about grinding out results and staying up. Not being funny but it must play on how you eventually approach games and what you have been used to. Not a dig at Danny Lennon at all as was done with very little financial support and taking chances on players which is commendable. Poor guy was on a hiding to nothing even with winning cup, if you look at interviews after final with lennon and gilmour it was hardly a happy set up.

I don't know about anyone else but I reckon it's time that someone higher up at club has a word with JG & co. Not being funny but the club have backed him to bring better players in, even recently and to go and play a team no better than ourselves really and try to grind out a result is quite frankly crap. Player wise, probably best group I have seen for a while and are capable of much better. In saying that, wouldn't surprise me if we go and beat livi. It is saints after all. And ban all talk of top 6 for christ sake, gives them a breakdown by looks of it.

Ffs couldn't make it up

We still got players that couldn't get anywhere near on target in that situation🤣🤣

Suppose for a nice change it's nothing for saints to worry about

Originally I would have thought it would be them as they might struggle with the covid stuff being part time although their players may look after themselves a bit better as have jobs as well. If its ICT, they are having a crap start, is Robertson trying to help old club out??

Got to say, cant beat a bit of bangers and cash on yesterday channel. If you are into classic cars that is. Like being back at Reid Kerr on day release in days before you needed a laptop to find out what was wrong with a car🙂 In fact crypton tuners were becoming more common place at the time😯

ICT allegedly Having looked at table, it wouldn't surprise me. A bit off the pace, albeit 2 games in hand.

Just out of asking, is it just alloa and arbroath that are p/t in championship?

It does seem to appear that Hearts will run away with championship and others happy to fight it out for play off places. As soon as 1 starts to make an attempt to challenge Hearts they start to bugger it up. In saying that can you imagine the meltdown from Hearts if season has to be made null and void due to covid🤣🤣🤣

Problem is the agent I'd say, we all know they are only out for themselves at end of day. Can genuinely imagine that JDH happy to be back in the game but getting his head filled with crap by agent.

Couldn't have happened at a worse time for......................SFA😂

Of course they will, same as everyone else☺

Oh behave yourself!! Be honest you are getting tired of going by the rules aren't you. same as us all. If you did all you say you did or have done you wouldn't be posting it on here🙄.

It was starting to look better in summer but then came the eat out to help out came along and from September onwards it's just got gradually out of control. Every business has had to become more covid secure BUT it's not businesses that's the problem is it. Whilst most will try as best to follow rules, some won't/don't and a £200 fine not anywhere near enough imo

Or an Aberdeen win

Be a good outcome for us if it stays like this

Public transport companies are getting paid quite a bit of money by government to operate full services, I would assume it's cheaper in long term than paying furlough and compensation for reducing services.

Got quite into this thread. Got looking at google maps for mc gown street as it is now and lo and behold at the bottom of it still a sign on fence of where I started apprenticeship albeit company long gone!

Don't think we ever got anything from there, just a lot of whingeing about how much things cost and not to break anything!!!

Woolworths was quite good in its day for music. Remember the co-op in causeyside st used to take my mum and gran an eternity to get round, same as arnotts where I can still see me, my dad AND grandad made to stand in middle of a wide isle so we didn't break anything😂😂
