  1. Obviously if a really good offer came in then great but let’s be honest he had a year left and I can see nobody paying more than 100k
  2. Let’s not kid in here the goalkeeper at present is worth several points per season. His performances were brilliant and is our best goalkeeper in 30 years. Samson was decent but not in this lads league. I’d keep him at all costs
  3. The guy returns to Paisley a deal looks set then this. I know we are a wee diddy team but if there was a small chance we could have got him why didn’t we. Maybe we did and as I say we likely pay shite so that’s that. The clubs run quite to basically just survive or play championship football so I think popescu was one of those guys who was great at the time but ultimately he will end up at Hibs or Killie. I did speak to an Celtic coach lately who thought v highly of him so it shows you he must be on the radar of others who might pay more than 600 quid a week
  4. he was absolutely outstanding for saints and if we had a chance we should have signed the lad - Mckenzie is good but you’ll not get a full season from him. Popescu was one of the reasons why we survived. Didn’t a board member sat we were waiting signing two defenders? If he ends up at Hibs or st Johnstone that will be a joke
  5. Like many others it would be nice to go back to a simple design that has a classic but modern look to it. The sponsors badge on the home kit is what makes that kit so hard to look at. I know it’s only a strip but can’t we get a classic kit say 93/94 jive style with clanford and give it a modern twist in that it has good material a smart collar etc. I mean come on who ever designed this is taking the pash. It’s bog standard of the peg and as I have said before it would be fine if it was decent which it’s not. The away kit on its own is horrendous but with black shorts and socks it could look ok. Sadly I won’t be buying either and to be honest the joma range is pretty average and widely available online minus the badge at a fraction of the cost. Ayr and Hamilton have Adidas off the peg and I’d take that anyday over this drivel
  6. The home kit looks poor. I mean the lack of stripes isn’t good in my opinion. I realise it’s only a strip but it’s good to have a decent kit . I can’t for the life of me work out why we don’t just ditch Joma and get an off the peg Adidas with a saints badge like Hamilton do. Would be much better quality and design. Joma is essentially off the peg and the training gear and kits are generally available online minus the badge a lot cheaper. I haven’t been impressed with the quality of the kits and the poor application of the badges . I am not raging either but we could do better. We could also launch it better - all looks a bit rushed to me. Danny didn’t even put on his football boots.
  7. No harm to either but both the lads are t anywhere near the level of McGinn or McLean - end of debate . It’s silly to even compare regardless of age or position .
  8. I have not been overly impressed y the quality of our kit and teamwear in recent years. I don’t understand why we haven’t thought about going down the route of what Dundee United or Hamilton do with Nike and Adidas? It would be top quality have street cred and sell much more.
  9. I think it was there for us today but we don’t score enough goals. The team is a lot better than it was but I’m not convinced by Erahon (yes he’s got potential and he’s young I’m merely saying I don’t think he’s playing well enough) and I think Lyons has been very poor indeed too his missed chances today were v poor indeed. Sadly this Hamilton side are rotten and they were all over the place at times yet we couldn’t win this game . My Hamilton supporting mate Gave credit to Kearney for his tactics and that’s fine but the defeatist attitude of midweek was sickening and unacceptable at any football club. I don’t understand why we were so passive and just looked happy to roll over. We didn’t fight or believe and that’s not on. Had we won today then fair enough but we didn’t win.
  10. Yes I hate to say it but fair play he’s pulled off three huge wins in past five weeks stj, Aberdeen and now Hearts
  11. Hamilton are by all accounts a poor team and my Hamilton supporting mate said canning would relegate them. Now in six weeks Rice has accumulated just about the same amount of points as we have all season. V sad this but we have to try for the playoff
  12. Whilst we have improved we lost at home to Hibs , Motherwell and Kilmarnock and Dundee united. I’m afraid whilst I hear reports of Hamilton being dreadful every other week they actually win games they dig in and they win . We don’t we huff and puff and look better but crucially we haven’t won and this will probably be our undoing. Our inability at home has prevented us from potentially keeping in with a chance of 10th
  13. He probably won’t be sacked but life in the championship is grim and crowds will plummet if we struggle. I hope we aren’t playing to 2000 fans come next October and struggling to beat Arbroath. Remember last time was brutal and players like Gallagher and Agnew were supposed to help us . That said our former chairman had budgeted for a 5th place finish which we failed to achieve. Go down and everything gets cut and the football can be dire . We should do absolutely everything to stay up but when u can’t compete with Hamilton Accies you know you’ve had it
  14. Zero points. We’re down before the end of March . The team is hopeless
  15. I want Oran to do well honestly I do but I believe that a good coach can make a poor team hard to beat and he hasn’t managed this. We have won 3 games since sept and one was v Alloa. I genuinely hope he can turn this around but every weekend he looks as though he is out of his depth
  16. Get a grip I’d rather be in our top league playing against big teams and big crowds. This year we blew it in the summer and it’s led to this mess but I am still of the belief we are a top tier side in stature and we need to try and be an established side. I want to be playing at Tynecastle and Easter road and being on tv etc. I don’t want a shitty championship game at home on a Saturday night covered by Alba with barely 2000 in the park. In the championship where is the atmosphere unless your winning it and you generate your own. We do not want to be playing Alloa or Arbroath as with respect it’s absolutely shite.
  17. You talk absolute rubbish.lets stagnate and win a few games v Morton and the likes ? No we have a set up that is premier league in our stadium and training ground. We need to be in the top league and fighting to finish 7,8,9 why can’t we ??
  18. I argued in September we should have appointed a manager who had experience in Scotland. I don’t want the manager sacked but perhaps an interim appointment with Oran in the summer might have worked better instead of throwing a part time gaffer into what was clearly a terrible mess.
  19. Am I the only one to hear our fans say they’re looking forward to the championship and winning again. I am really annoyed when I hear this defeatist chat. I accept its 70-30 we will be back there next year but please don’t try and tell me that it’s the best we can do or that I should look forward to it. Look forward to gates of 2500 against Queens , Ict and Alloa. Playing with the away stand empty bar the ball boys. Look forward to losing Kyle Macgennis in the cheap? Or maybe look forward to the mighty Renfrewshire derby which we all know is a shitty fixture that does nothing to increase our status in the game. Give me our team playing at Tynecastle or Easter Road, let’s see if we can establish ourselves again as a team in Scotland’s top league. We used to be an ever present until the 90s. The championship has some tough teams and we could be down for years. It’s a crap shit fest of a league if your mid table or worse lower half. The play offs are Unfair and to win the title is tough. People say we were not ready to gain promotion?eh try tellin this to Livingston and their 1200 home support. Try telling Hamilton who surprised many with a playoff win five years ago. I don’t but that shitty argument. We had the blank canvas and we appointed a manager who was not upto the job. Then chaos. I support the manager and want him to do well but Kearney surely would have hoped to return more than 9 points since mid sept ? Regardless of how bad a team are surely as professionals you can be hard to beat- something we are not . It’s not looking good but as a club to progress and to move to the next level relegation will be a disaster and will be financially terrible. Missing out on the new tv deal would be typical and it would hurt our club greatly. We have it all there for us a great stadium, training ground and a support that Hamilton, Livingston and St Johnstone can only dream of. I won’t accept he championship it’s basically a league of empty grounds and little cash. We need to survive this year somehow .
  20. Very strange this window. I am still hoping that we get a couple of quality players in. We had nothing good enough on our bench bar anton on Sunday yet we haven’t managed to get anyone in. I understand we have injuries but in my opinion we look lightweight all over the park and I feel tonight we need some good news or else we will probably be relegated. Jackson works hard but he has had no support and it’s hard to see us scoring the goals required to stay up.
  21. Hi folks does anyone have any footage or news clippings or indeed info about this match. There appears to be very little . I think Keith Walker scores our goal thanks
  22. My concern is that we are extremely naive. 89 mins played and a quick throw in has a us beat. It’s simply not good enough. Looking at he squad I’d say the big problem is getting players out the door as they’re not going to leave for less cash are they? McShane, Kirkpatrick, Flynn, Mullen, Heaton, King, Kpewa and maybe Smith have not contributed and look unlikely to do so. Smith maybe if he can get up to the pace of the game soon . If we can get these guys out fair enough but it’s unlikely . Also will we outspend Dundee or well?
  23. Tactics were the same as last week but this wasn’t hearts or a team that would have more possession so why have one small striker up front and continue to punt it to him? It was poor and tactics were awful.
  24. Tactics were awful today. I’m not going to shout at the gaffer but I do expect better. To allow Hamilton to beat you easily twice is unforgivable
  25. I have to say tactically today we were all over the shop. The high ball up to one small striker did not work and today I really felt Kearney was out thought by Canning ..... unbelievable I know a game at home to move out of bottom two and we turn in that shambolic performance. I had a bad feeling today and it turned out as I expected we lose soft goals huff and puff and get nothing. We have to improve and way before January as there is 18 points on offer before then. Being brutally honest I can’t see us scoring a point from our next 6 as we do not have any physicality to deal with teams in this division.
