Aberdeen missed at trick here. Should've bought Stevie Mallan for £500k and sold Kenny for £1.5m

Aye couldn't lace Hutton's boots !!!!!!

Good on Ross supporting his local team rather than ether of the evil sisters. 

Could still do us a good turn, find a young Icelandic player, he goes to the Rangers academy, they reject him he comes to us and we turn him in to a good player. Welcome agent Torfason.

Had a discussion a couple of weeks back with a fellow bud about former players and what happened after they left saints. Initially it was about Mehmet , then we got talking about Steve McGarry & others.
Its relatively easy to keep tabs on what ex-saints are doing when they are still involved in football , even if it is through Wiki in most cases. But it got me wondering about other former Buds....Whats Shuggie Murray up to these days, What about Derek Hamilton ? Has Frank McDougall still got his pub ?  Wheres Lexi ?
You know the sort of stuff , anyone got any gen on former players & what they are doing now.?
As far as close season topics go , surely it has to be a better use of our time than white dug shite and coconut dug jokes !?! 

But, but.... Panels! Jaggy bits!

Didn't realise people still came away with kind of patter in 2017.

Kit was officially launched today. Pics are here it seems:

Looks a lot better when properly photographed...
 

Gary Mackenzie is just as good, if not better than Davis, and there is still a possibility Loy will return to the club, if not he is easily replaceable.

The right fixtures but not necessarily in the right order

That'll be an almighty PayPal deal then.

Best of luck to Pal. I thought he didn't get much of a chance to show what he could do. Just a few appearances as sub, when I thought he was OK.

Best of luck to the guy - he could feature in a team of Overseas Saints who made 10 appearances or less.

Agree pretty much with what you've said. My reply to the the forum eejit was framed to respond to his ridiculous jibes aimed at Danny Lennon, as if it was obvious Mooy was a multimillion pound talent. I remember him being homesick, and always thought he was a little lightweight, but fair play to the boy as he's made the most of his talent.

City took Mooy as he'd done well in Australia and was with their sister club, so it was always a chance for them to make a wee bit of money. 

We'll have to agree to disagree on him being 'released' as I don't regard us as having released Dorman, Higdon etc nor PSG having released Zlatan.

Fair enough re Huddersfield. For some reason I thought u meant in Australia. Though even that is an exceptional circumstance as I dont think Man City ever intended to play him. His signing there was always a means to an end.

I take ur point though. No one ever thought he was going to be the guy running midfield in the EPL play off final. Some folk though did think he never got a fair crack of the whip with us.

There's a difference between letting a player go for nothing and a player not being interested in extending his contract.

How do you know which was the case at Sydney and Melbourne?

From Wikipedia: "During his time with Melbourne City, Socceroos manager Ange Postecoglou labelled him the "best and most exciting player in the A-League", while former Socceroo goalkeeper Mark Bosnich described him as "the best Australian midfielder playing anywhere in the world"

Doesn't sound like a reject to me.

Get that doom room opened up again, a couple of people requiring a room.

Ah, you've got to love B&WA - we manage to fall out over nothing

Sorted.

Reilly seems to have lost his way somewhat.
Sean Kelly was in a similar place and extremely disillusioned with football. A change of clubs seems to have worked wonders for him.
Hopefully our excellent management team, who have both worked with Reilly previously, can work with him again to help him regain his appetite for the game and we can get the best out of him, when he returns to form.
Another player with plenty of potential. Now we need a proven, experienced goal scorer.
It would be great if that player was Rory Loy.
 
 

I'm confused! Were the goals "two howlers" or two strikes to be applauded? I don't see how it can be both.
