Celtic 4-0. Dorman double, Thomson double. Or does that not count cos they had a shit manager?

Pride of lions. Gaggle of geese.

Excellent 3 points in what has been dubbed as the most important game of the season. Onwards and upwards Saints. Let's hope that is us coming out of this dismal period.

BBC have given McGinn both goals.

0-2 McGowan GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAL. Yas McGinn!!!!!!!

It is extremely likely that whatever team wins the League Cup this season will do so without having to face either Old Firm team. St Johnstone could get to the semi-final without having faced a single top division team. Will this season's winners also be deemed lucky or flukey? We had to get past Aberdeen, Celtic and a pre-administration Hearts. I can't see how this run of results can be deemed lucky when we won all games fair and square without any real controversial decisions. It reminds me of when Gretna got to the Scottish Cup Final without having to meet a single SPL side. I've got a few friends down there that I am slowly converting. I bring them Saint Mirren shirts whenever I visit. Hope they are wearing them round the rock with pride!

Basing the entire theory on a St Mirren win on Monday night is optimistic. Assuming that Aberdeen will have do something more than simply turn up is optimistic. And yes, hinting at the possibility of taking point(s) from the game in hand against Celtic is also optimistic. The glass is half full............of black and white whisky.

So Kilmarnock get humped and their infighting is putting their club in meltdown. Hearts get another point on the board. A surprise win against Aberdeen on Monday would see a nice little leapfrog of Kilmarnock, leave us 11 points off bottom spot, 3 points off 9th place and with a game in hand. Just one little win. Let's hope Aberdeen think the points are already in the bag.........................

Not having that! We deserved to win the cup. Nothing jammy about it.

In East Side Marios in Toronto 2005 while I was working there. At 4am in Dublin while lost trying to find our hostel. The company man on Leiv Eirikson oil rig in Ireland with Shell. The mud logger on the GA4 oil rig. And I'll be on a bus to Paphos in a few weeks too so I'll keep an eye out.

Thinking we will get relegated after 4 games pretty much is knickerwetting though. Especially when we are 9 points clear of the bottom spot with a game in hand.

Not that I disagree with you, but it's not like it's been 9 solid months of football. You could have said a few weeks ago that Celtic hadn't won a single league game in over 2 months. On it's own it sounds like a poor record but when it's over the Summer break and there were no league games then it is just skewing statistics in your favour. A few seasons ago when there were calls for Gus' head the stats were getting fantastic. Number of SPL only wins, at a particular stadium, in a particular calendar year shooting towards a particular end, before the split. You have selectively chosen "9 months" as your criteria and I can only assume that it is because if we went into the 10th month there would be another win and wouldn't make your statistic so damning? What about the 11th month? Or just the 7th or 8th month period? eta: Replied in haste before reading the rest of the thread! Apologies for restating what has already been posted above.

This might be why.... I once read about five monkeys that were placed in a room with a banana at the top of a set of stairs. As one monkey attempted to climb the stairs, all of the monkeys were sprayed with jets of cold water. A second monkey made an attempt and again the monkeys were sprayed. No more monkeys attempted to climb the stairs. One of the monkeys was then removed from the room and replaced with a new monkey. New monkey saw the banana and started to climb the stairs but to its surprise, it was attacked by the other monkeys. Another of the original monkeys was replaced and the newcomer was also attacked when he attempted to climb the stairs. The previous newcomer took part in the punishment with enthusiasm. Replacing a third original monkey with a new one, it headed for the stairs and was attacked as well. Half of the monkeys that attacked him had no idea why. After replacing the fourth and fifth original monkeys, none had ever been sprayed with cold water but all stayed the f**k away from the stairs.

After the close season homophobic suggestions against our club (that turned out to be nonsense) it could be seen as a shrewd political move to appoint a gay manager.....Paul Harley is still gay isn't he??? eta: just to keep on topic, after cooling off over the weekend I decided to avoid a hernia a just point blank back whoever is in charge. So I'm 100% behind Danny and everyone that pulls on the stripes until Stewart Gilmour tells me otherwise.

http://www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk/sport/football/newcastle-utd/newcastle-united-striker-adam-campbell-set-for-st-mirren-loan-deal-1-6004674 Bad journalism then or still a chance?

Only read through the first page of this thread so might be repeating here.....but when people talk about directing their booing towards the management, the board, the players etc, how does one direct theirbooing? When the boos ring out, I think it is completely understandable that the players, management, board could all assume that it is for their benefit and the intended target will pretty much never be identified in this case. I agree with the OP that it isn't constructive and the only time I really ever boo at a match is immediately following a bad decision by the ref e.g. no penalty given, or when a well-hated opposition player touches the ball e.g. Tokely. I would hope that in these cases the recipient of the boos is well aware that they are the intended target.

OPINION.

Woohooooo

Til we die.

It really was a fantastic day out. I would strongly recommend anyone to give it a go next year. I was by no means fit before I started training for it earlier this year and it was a lot more interesting and fun than any marathon or running event. Plenty of cuts, scrapes, bruises and aching muscles and the 10,000 volts literally knocked me off my feet at the end but it was all great fun. Shame the St Mirren logo was blacked out after about the first 5 mins.

Any other Buddies doing Tough Mudder tomorrow in Dalkeith? I'll be doing it in a Saints top and hopefully making to the finish line for that orange headband and free pint Give us a hand if you see me struggling (with the course, not the pint). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh5HdPM_QuE

My advice... Don't panic. Buy. Don't panic buy.

Free speech at Anfield......apart from these words.

Definitely don't go out of your way to get 3D. Very rarely is a program broadcast in 3D. It just came with my latest tv which was fine but I've only watched a handful of things in 3D and most weren't that good (i.e. Olympics, tennis). The Walking with Dinosaurs program has been the only 3D content that has impressed me. As for wall mounting, don't put it too high as it isn't a natural viewing angle. I put our old tv up above the fireplace and regretted it ever since. This will be less of an issue the further away you sit. I wasn't too impressed with the picture on my old 42" LG LCD but it is a good 5 years old. No complaints so far with Toshiba 46" after 1 year. Real thin bezel makes the picture look bigger and tv a lot sleeker. Check that you have at least 2 or 3 HDMI ports and ethernet (or wireless) for all the online options. The wee plugs to beam your broadband connection around the wiring in your house are pretty cheap these days (bout £20) to save you running an ethernet cable round the living room or getting a wireless dongle.
