Anyway, I of course agree with the original message. I have a feeling tomorrow will see the best ever atmosphere at Greenhill Road and Thistle are going to take a hell of a battering. This is the turning point. COYS.

What is the point in Div posting the original message then "liking" this rubbish from Paisley's true "wee clueless". Either it is all lets stand together or not. Like it or not Div you are now in many ways a voice for the fans, in my opinion you should act like one when your own website shows majority support for the most successful manager in the history of our club.

Best of luck Robbo, good honest pro that always put in a good shift.

There aspects of that club that I despise but fair play, that was some effort to get through.

What utter nonsense! There should be some sort of IQ test introduced on this forum now. Games against Kilmarnock (and now Partick too) draw bigger crowds than Rangers, their presence in the league really doesn't impact us much.

VERY CRUEL! GET IT RIGHT UP YE MORECAMBE!

Good to see once we remove the multiple alias poster and the halfwit that names himself after spain's worst town we are all backing danny lennon. This is about long term progression as a community club that brings through young players. By god, saturday is a massive game. I hope goodwin, thompson and teale deliver.

Quite right Shull, time for the fans to stand up and be counted. Focus our anger on the Thistle team and give Danny and the team a chance to turn this around.

Pretty obvious those comments are intended as a dig at the ref. Another wannabe Alex Ferguson setting a terrible example to young kids. I don't know why those guys that referee at that level give up their time to try and help to be honest.

Wrong country but the point stands, Craig's record as a manager was poor. It's always amusing how many people can have a go at Danny Lennon or Stewart Gilmour for poor decision making and then in the next breath announce if they were in charge never mind Tommy Craig or Steven Thompson but the next manager would be Hugh Murray, Paul Hartley or John Potter!

Interesting to see you state that the board were worried about the relationship between the youth set up and the first team. Also worth remembering that if Gus MacPherson was still St Mirren manager then Samson and McGregor would be part time in the 2nd division, John McGinn, Kenny McLean, Thomas Reilly, Mo Yaqub & Anton Brady wouldn't be near our first team, Marc McAusland would be at Queen of the South and Graham Carey might just be some fat guy that used to play for Celtic youth.

Decent analysis, Div. I'd agree that you have to look at a lot of the transfer dealings and be disappointed. If we could have Samson, Carey and Hasselbaink lining up for next weekend I'd feel a lot more confident but then I don't know the truth regarding the budget Danny has to work with as compared to Killie, St Johnstone or Ross County.

My intention was not to start a thread slagging off Steven Thompson as a player as I am probably part of that "Thompson is a god brigade." I'm just trying to point out the lunacy of blaming one man for every problem at the club and highlight that if the players have lost motivation then as well as each of them taking a long look at themselves it would be clear that neither Goodwin or Thompson are up to much as leaders.

It's not surprising to see this place go in to meltdown after the weekend's result but some people really are seriously losing the plot, particularly that section of forum users who now seem to have completely flipped; the rabid foaming at the mouth anti Danny Lennon brigade. Case in point is the group clamouring for Steven Thompson to be appointed manager, a decision that were it to be taken this week would surely be one of the most illogical and disastrous in the history of our fine club (I won't even consider the Kenny Shiels for manager collective as nothing more than a wind-up). I will agree that Danny is looking likely to be out of a job soon unless he turns the league form around quickly (or wins the cup again...) and he must carry the can for not going in to the season completely prepared but why are the players getting off scot free here? And above all, why are some of you calling for two of them to be made manager and assistant manager? It looks to me like Danny Lennon has fallen victim to "player power" and some the senior players have f**ked him over. The situations with Guy and Imrie tell their own story. Yet, if the problem with the team is that the players are not motivated ("he has lost the dressing room") why would you want Thompson and Teale to take over the team? They are on the park now and we are "soft" and there are guys like Harkins not bothering to pick up players from corners and Jim Goodwin, club captain, barely showing up. Davidg posted on another thread that Thompson refused to come off the bench in a game at the end of last season. It's up to him to back that quite serious allegation up, but if true then it paints a very sad picture of what goes on behind the scenes at St Mirren Park. Graham Spiers said on the radio yesterday that the St Mirren support, like no other support in Scotland, have had it for their current manager since the day he started. And he is correct. I think the reason that often this forum falls in to squabble between the "knicker wetters" and "happy clappers" is that many of us are not happy clappers but just feel deeply uncomfortable with the anonymity afforded to users of this forum being abused to launch a sustained, non-stop attack on one man. One poster uses so many aliases I believe he uses some to support Danny and others to berate him on a non stop basis. Another enjoys berating the manager so much that his calls for "wee clueless" to f**k off don't even change depending on who is in charge, Gus and Danny have enjoyed the same abuse and same nickname. Some posts from those like to claim to be in the know are now just "Bye Dan", "Thompson will be in charge now" etc Pretty poor stuff in my opinion....and I find it difficult to read all that directed at one man while the board, chairman and senior players, some of whom really have taken the piss I suspect, are still all lauded as heros. The annoying thing is these guys have kept up such a sustained campaign of pish talking that most of what they say is now believed. Due to that, many of you now seem to be football luddites calling for a return to the long ball game (last used to any effect by Norway around 1994) or convinced that Danny having led Cowdenbeath to succesive promotions, got us to our ever finish in 25 years while playing some very attractive football, and won us the league cup is "tactially clueless". Even though in that very League Cup final he switched the shape of the team around and we went from 1-0 down to 3-1 up. I've never seen St Mirren play as good football as we did at the start of Lennon's 2nd season, I recall us ripping Dundee Utd apart at Tannadice until wee Nigel got sent off and it was sensational. The victories of Rangers, Celtic, Hearts and Aberdeen we have enjoyed in recent seasons were great & accomponied with great football. I really hoped we would get better at that style of attacking play and the under 20s and all youth levels would learn to play the same style. It's that approach that Scottish football needs. So it is sad for me to see that it now seems to be the end of the line for Danny Lennon. I don't believe he is leaving because of a stubborn commitment to playing passing football, or due a lack of tactical awareness, I believe he is going to go because the players do not want to play for him anymore. And so I ask again, if there has been a collapse of moral and motivation in the dressing room, how could any of you possibly not hold the senior players at this club just as accountable as the manager, and why on earth would you want to see one of them take over as manager?

Saints will win 2-1, Danny gets another month to fix things.

Still holds the club record for most goals in one game I believe. Sad news.

I assume you are talking about this thread and the Stephen Thompson, Andy Millen or Paul fukin Hartley for manager talk? Ffs.

.

Doesn't look great. Not sure why some supposed Saints fans take so much pleasure in losing though. Must be some form of gimpy fetish.

A minor crime in my opinion. Hopefully they will be out within three years.

A trip up to Dingwall in late August. Quite jealous of all those able to go. Have a great day and roar the buds to victory!

Flawless logic, flawless.

County looked fecked. Manager is desperate for a win. Some are saying they are a sinking ship already. Enter St Mirren stage right.

That's not "safe standing" Scabby, thats just folk standing up.

Convert to terracing, boost the capacity, give the away fans part of the west stand and get a fence in like in the North Bank. Would soon get some atmosphere going! Never going to happen sadly.
