  1. McAllister doesn't have great pace but I would like to see him play a midfield role where his passing is good enough to supply both Obika and Brophy.
  2. Eric! I've been hoping to see this photo of the wee shop for...anyway, I'm so glad its arrived. I would be about 2 or 3 years old when our family became homeless. My father managed to make an arrangement with the owner for us to move into the shop which was boarded up with planks of wood. Stone floor! Eventually, we moved into one of the tenements in the picture (don't know which one) which was luxurious in comparison. It had gas lighting in the close and in the two rooms we lived in. Can anyone beat that? Thanks, Eric.
  3. We didn't lose the game yesterday on the park; we lost it on the drawing board. I find it hard to believe that our manager failed abysmally to recognise the limitation of Ernhanon, MacPherson and Mason's ability to confront the strength of the Livi side especially the current form of these players. I'm not blaming the players. The substitutions made in the second half was symptomatic of the realisation that the manager had made a huge mistake. I think the biggest impact of this result and the way it was lost will be on the morale of the players. Those subs who came on will feel they should have been chosen for the kick-off and for most of the other players seeing that mistake, their morale will have also taken a hit while looking at the whole picture. Our latest signing, Brophy; what will he be thinking after being subbed and who never received the service he should have got. His morale too will have weakened. I laid in bed last night thinking about all of this and I still find it difficult to come to terms with it. Given all the enthusiastic effort those fans made in decorating the town with our colours I feel truly sorry. Come Wednesday if we get beat this will underline Goodwin's failure yesterday. We are more than capable of beating Utd but not before their morale has been re-inflated.
  4. Dare I say but there was only one person to blame and that was Goodwin. Mason, Macpherson and Erhahon are, for a semi, too young and light-weight given the physique of the Livingston squad and it proved to be a total disaster. The squad in the second half came near to what it should have been in the first half. The whole town is in depression now. Very disappointing especially when we had the ability to do much better had the team selection reflected common sense.
  5. Sorry to say that JG's choices today are NOT good especially when you consider those on the bench.
  6. Old Firm fans will never, ever experience this community solidarity, emotion and occasion. With all the frustration that we as Saints fans put up with, a day like this erases all of it. For all the Saints fans who have passed away, enjoy the game today.
  7. Canal Street at Causeyside? Yes Sir. Nearly. The tenements on the left are being built, it seems, according to the picture description.
  8. I take it was the council that put them up? The community is alive and kicking! Great.
  9. All these discussions concerning the bigger pitch are very significant. Passes will take approximately 0.4 seconds more to reach players.
  10. The brick wall in front runs along the road up to the school. After I left school (The West) we'd go play football every day.
  11. I thought by this time we would have seen Flynn getting a game. Similar to Danny Mullen if he doesn't come on in Saturday's game I don't think we'll see him again.
