  1. Could be an injury or a bug. Connor is struggling with a bug at the moment.
  2. Donating to who? You (for your motorhome purchase) or charity?
  3. This might be a way the ugly sisters get more cash. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67787981
  4. In some countries union leaders have been murdered, kidnapped, tortured for speaking out on behalf of their members. Perhaps some would rather we just go back to employing slaves, child labour, horrific work conditions, etc, etc as long as they get the odd long weekend (unpaid of course!). An activist whose work I have followed for many years is Mark Thomas. Some of the things he has encountered during his campaigns in the UK and globally are off the scale. One in particular was his views on Coca-cola. This is a bit dated but relevant. More can be found at http://killercoke.org/powerpoint_presentation.php
  5. Perhaps doing a disservice to Ethan Erhahon who made a significant number of appearances for the first team and also has brought a transfer fee to the club with a decent sell on %. By all accounts Ethan is doing great at Lincoln. Ethan is only a year older than Lewis Jamieson yet made a significant impact at a young age. This is a superb opportunity for LJ to kick on with his career and I’m sure we all hope he does extremely well. Let’s remember how well Frank McAvennie did as a “late developer”. How good would that be if Lewis could be our modern day “Macca”.
  6. Perhaps he meant to write “old and infirm” but the predictive text of the site took over? 👵 👴
  7. Gogic plays at international level in defence. He has proven to be one of our best players since he joined us. His time at Hibs as a midfielder was not very successful. I think he does a great job in defence but is also great cover in midfield when needed. We are likely to lose Baccus to the Asian cup (or perhaps a move during the January transfer window) that may well open up an opportunity for Robbo to move Gogic to midfield. Robbo has my support to do what is right by the team. I would certainly like to see Gogic contract extended. I believe he is out of contract at the end of the season. I’m not sure whether he would be keen to sign as he might still have a desire to move back home.
  8. Is that because many private sector companies abhor trade unions and actively discourage workers from joining?
  9. There are so many utility and non utility companies that operate under a UK brand name but are foreign owned that most of the public have no idea (or likely care) about. No doubt there is a good image representing such “deals”. Is it the French that own majority of our whisky distilleries? This group are trying to make change, but I fear that it’s too late in many ways. https://weownit.org.uk/about-us
  10. You will say anything to get a good deal on the motorhome.
  11. The predicted weather forecast for 30th Dec is currently looking quite optimistic. Wet but not overly windy. Quite mild for time of year. Obviously I’d wait for 3 days before for a more accurate forecast. You can stop off at @faraway saint for pre match meal!
  12. It’s highly unlikely that there will be a cash gate. St Mirren volunteer SLO (Karin) usually attends all away games and she has in the past brought along tickets purchased by fans living far away. If I were you John I’d reach out to Karin at [email protected] and discuss this as an option. https://www.stmirren.com/tickets.shtml?ftredirect=1
  13. You should go on holiday again. Tell your boss that it’s clearly a good thing for everyone else!
  14. What’s your recommendation for an Indian restaurant sit down and also takeaway these days in Paisley or Renfrewshire? I have been recently to Indian Scene (formerly Shezan tandoori) and it was good.
  15. I was reading an article about some of these academy players at the big clubs. One in particular at Everton was earning over £100,000 per annum at 16 and never made a top flight appearance. These guys get huge signing on fees at age 14/15 just to join these EPL clubs. The situation with some of these players is I guess they get a bit too comfortable with the lifestyle and think they have made it. Some notable examples from Everton have gone right off the rails resulting in drug abuse and jail time. If St Mirren can help these players get their careers back on track then it’s a win win for both sides.
  16. Unless the council building was built with Reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete.
