I'm going to go for a 1 nil win for us. I think it will be more of the same as we did against celtic. Take the chances when they come.
After listening to the SR interview and the lack of fire power, it does beg to wonder if SR's patience has worn thin/out with brophy and his inability to get/stay/keep fit. Hopefully we will find another mug club to take him and his high wage.

We're a different game, quite easy to keep things as planned, any Fridays we are required to do ovetime still leaves us with the weekend to ourselves.
We're quiet right now so the long weekends will do me for now.
Can't be too bad a place to work really. Anyway thank god tomorrow is Friday, most have a half day at sellafield so my afternoon stint will be very quiet😂😂 they joys of it being now a decommissioned site.

First week over, getting up an hour early wasn't too difficult, I have been a wee bit tired at nights but no big deal.
The "carrot" of having Friday off certainly kept up the morale of the guys and today was like the last day before the holidays.
The manager, eventually, sorted out the slight difference in the holiday allowance for the rest of the year so everybody's happy.
I'm already planning a Monday off which gives a nice long weekend.
Where i work they tried to fetch in a 4 day week rota, tried it..........naw! What seemed as a good idea at the time turned into days off not together 😡😡
Anyway can't grumble too much as off every weekend now👍👍

Love that we won today, but f**k me that was not a game of football. We went down to their level too as it was tough to watch on both sides.
I never really knew how much I hate Livi, until today. They don't play football at all. It is dire to watch and I can understand why their away support is so small. Paying for a season ticket to watch that is one thing, travelling and paying like 30 quid a game would be tough to swallow.
They have finished in the top 6 and we haven't before.
They seem to be able to unearth some massive guys who Bully, elbow, block, do dirty shit, but not play football. Even as big massive guys go down acting like they have been shot and playing up for officials to take it all in. They are not a professional football side, but a professional wrestling side. I would love them out of the division, but they get results.

They get results because they are bloody difficult to play against and if you aren't up for it they will catch you out.
What we have now is a team that can keep going at it and that showed today.
I think the player recruitment has been pivotal in the fortunes of club as most have already played for SR and know what he is about. Maybe thats what was wrong last season when he took over and we looked awful.
Big critic at time(me), humble pie now.
I would expect one or two to move in next window and to be replaced by others who get SR and can push team on.

Season over
Relegation likely ?I think they might be ok to stop up. Last season will no doubt have taken its toll but I'm sure over the course of the season they will be ok but not promotion contenders.

The rollercoaster saint march on!!!👍👍👍

Stanley is in the funny position of being half way between Durham and Newcastle and MrsS has said that the town centre has been slowly dying since the main road was pedestrianised (sound familiar?) Town centre now mainly comprised of banks, bookies, bakers, barbers with a couple of supermarkets but now even the banks are pulling out!
Pedestrianising town centres all good if they thought about parking, decent road links and public transport.
In fact everything that most out of town do have and thats one of the reasons why they succeed.
Over here the same where banks are concerned and their buildings lie empty due to cost of changing purpose etc

Down here its like chalk and cheese between whitehaven and workington. As much as whitehaven promotes itself as a historic market town the run down town centre doesn't go well with the amount they have spent on the harbour and marina which aren't bad at all. Good views of empty shop units. Sellafield put a lot in financially for any office spaces they can get their hands on so you can imagine the impact covid had on the town with all the working from home.
On the other hand in workington it's the complete opposite busy shops in town and out of town sites. Even has the customary empty debenhams building.

From next week, regular asymptomatic testing for health and social care workers stops.
That's a bit of a strange one as I would have assumed that would still be a priority. In all honesty it's all a bit strange when you think of it really, not so long ago we couldn't do this, that or the next thing. Now especially where I work and who we are contracted to run full capacity buses being 77. Peak time these are full..............cab window wide open time. Known as the covid expresses by us

Morbid people watching a wooden box being trudged along on whatever vehicle they're using. I will have nothing to do with it. The old woman died. She's being interred where ever. None of my concern. Death tourism? Brilliant advert for England. NOT.
I guess you aren't a fan of the Royal family then and that's fair enough. I'm not that fussed to be honest it is what it is.
What I meant in reply to previous comment was I have done coach holidays in the past that have included places like Windsor, Hampton Court, Edinburgh, Castle of Mey and as close to Balmoral as you can get. Tourists love it.
Thats what I meant.

The pomp and pageantry of today is magnificent.
Brilliant to watch.
10/10
It is because we are good at it regardless of the situation and it brings a lot of tourism into the country.

Another thing about yesterday I did notice was the way that Carson not only was constantly organising the defence but able to take the sting out of the game too.

Hopefully another bonus today was Stevie Clark in the stand. Surely he couldn't fail to be impressed with Gallgher's performance.
Funnily enough I was talking to a good friend of mine yesterday about that after the match. Unfortunately as things this way have gone in the past, Gallagher wearing wrong coloured strip to be considered. I hope this these days is not the case. I would also like to add there were others that should really gave Clarke some food for thought after that performance yesterday being Erhahon, O'Hara and Fraser. And why not.

Brilliant just brilliant today.

Wolverhampton Wanderers 0 Manchester City 3
Was quite pleased with that one, William Hill gave flash odds the other day of evens instead of 1/40 for a goal to be scored in the game. Always happy to take a free tenner.

Totally correct. My options were - day off no pay, use one of my holidays. The reason for this was , we got a day off for the jubilee.
Jeez sounds worse than where I work

We have had this conversation at work many times. I certainly would put celtic at low end of premier with rangers probably in championship. Hearts/dons either top end of lg1 maybe bottom end of championship maybe add hibs into lg1. The rest would flit between lg1/lg2 and national league.
The main issue is the financial side and what teams in respective leagues can attract in terms of players and sponsorship, etc.
In saying that there are also some teams within the lower leagues in england that are money daft in order to try and improve. Prime examples being Bolton, Salford and Wrexham.
Another thing was, and i don't know how many watched it but the Macclesfield/Robbie Savage documentary was an eye opener wage wise, even for stating at very,very PT end of pyramid they were looking at around £300-£500 per week for players.

My school was basically a caldron of Rangers fans with a very few saints fans scattered in with the Catholic School a 5 minute walk away being a caldron of Celtic.
Nothing better than being a bud and loving your home town and team.
Got to say at foxbar primary when I went there, more rangers fans than saints. Would have made my dad ill if I had supported anyone else that saints. Should imagine the same mix would have been with amochrie and brediland primaries too as st Paul's was predominantly celtic but this is passed through generations with certain clubs linked with religion. Quite sad really when you look back at that.
Camphill was no different really until the Murray/Souness bottomless cash pit to success rolled in and many jumped ship.
Oh and then one day in 1987 they temporarily jumped back over.
Back to the original topic anyway, good commercial move by the club imo as most age ranges for this will need an accompanying paying adult. That in turn may increase club shop sales, etc on match days.
Down our way, workington went with this approach last season and my daughter’s one lasts for this season too. My lads on the other hand take turns on using it when we get the chance to pop along as there is no photo on the card season pass. Still bank of dad when we go🥺🥺🥺🥺

McDonald was a great player but he's not been the same since his transplant and his career at the higher levels of the game are probably over - we're also well versed in centre of the park so I'd pass on that.
McNulty, a definite no for me. He's a downgrade on what we have. 1 league goal every 9 games for Dundee Utd means I wouldn't waste a wage.
There's no-one from that list I'd be looking to strengthen with (I mean obviously apart from Rogic but lets be honest, that's fanciful unless he wants a pre-Aussie World Cup love-in). McGeouch and Grimshaw are only two possibilities I'd want us to look at if we weren't well covered in both areas of the squad. Neither currently going to significantly strengthen our side and would be bit part players. The best affordable free agent who left a Scottish side that was still out there on the market, we signed two weeks ago in the shape of Gogic.
Thankfully, mercifully it looks like a club, we're now beyond the 'maybe we will be utilising the free agents market after the window has closed' stage.
I've got to say after reading both comments again I do agree with your take on it as both players I picked out probably wouldn't be happy as a bit part player, with that causes unrest in camp. I think we were even beyond the maybe category even under JG as he stated we didn't have the luxury of giving them 4 weeks at least to get up to speed.
Never know, Martin Foyle may unearth another one from the English market or from further afield.
-
Out of that list I would reckon Kevin Mcdonald and Mark McNulty would be good signings and possibly within wage range too. Mcdonald with plenty of experience when with Fulham and McNulty certainly knows where net is.

He had the right club for him but walked out for the quick buck. A lot richer for it no doubt.
I can agree with the first bit but if anyone offers you 5x your annual salary wouldn't you take it. And also you got to think, did he have it to build a premier team given the fact we had 2 wholesale squad changes to 1) stay in championship, and 2) get promoted. Some of who probably wouldn't have been good enough to make the step up. Grateful for what he did by saving us from quite frankly oblivion then getting us back up but that's all. Taken us a bit to get more competitive but here we are.
