    norrie82 got a reaction from BuddieinEK in Welcome Eamonn Brophy   
    Playing Celtic away Was one of the games. Listen I think he deserves a chance and when I see him I feel he brings something to the team. The manager does a tremendous job it’s not anything against him at all.

    Joe has to play honestly madness this continually overlooking a defender who’s a better option than most. As for Brophy he never got any game time this season it was all about nursing him back to fitness to avoid him breaking down if you remember then basically he never got a sniff. Not sure why as we haven’t been prolific up front.

    Robinson clearly has some issues here, the turning point for us yesterday was Shaughnessy coming on and i am completely confused as to how losing Gogic from midfield seems an exceptional  option for the manager when Shaughnessy is available for central defence.  He should have started and could have been on as soon as Rudden appeared.  I consider the mistakes made by the manager were the factors that stopped us from easily winning yesterday
    There must be someone at county who can deliver a decent final ball and that is enabling Brophy.  Our only decent final ball was the one Shaughnessy delivered for the goal.
    Have Brophy and Big Joe done something to upset our manager?  Big Joe hasn't been in the picture since he said he wanted to go back home.

    Kibble uncovered
    Now distrusted by the fans, the cause of boardroom splits, divisive, discovered to be underhand in dealings, rude when questioned, and in an untenable position, impossible to reverse.
    This charity apparently became involved with St Mirren out of the goodness of its heart. When my friend who works there heard of this he warned me it would not end well for our club.
    A lot of fans were persuaded and voted to support the idea (They would not do so now), and a cuckoo was allowed into the St Mirren nest.
    What nobody realised is that their directors do not have to face re-election. They think they are untouchable.
    Within a short time Kibble had brought in catering, security and building suppliers (initially all the same young man) until it was found connections existed between the two. A quick retreat followed.
    Our ticketing system was dumped for a system that means we cannot add cup games to season tickets. Back we went to barcodes, readers and even paper tickets.
    Staff members, trusted for years were shown the door (go to hospitality as I did a recently and you will know no one bar C Kennedy). Ticket, office, and hospitality staff have walked or been shown the door.
    An employee settlement deal was mentioned on a slide at the AGM at £30,000! Hearing more are in the pipeline.
    Hospitality is provided by Kibble at a ‘competitive rate’. It would be with their access to costs as board members. Insider trading or what?
    Kibble receives government funding but pay for our general manager – immoral. This money is for charitable purposes. Kibble has millions in the bank. How many charities do you know in this position?
    Kibble took over the daily accountancy. Where are we now?
    In November 2020 Kibble were clearing the way. They called in the Inland Revenue and spoke to the press as Kibble, not as St. Mirren directors. They pushed for the resignation of John Needham following his ill advised comments about Rangers fans. Kibble's Jim Gillespie, a Rangers supporter is now our vice chairman.
    Jim Gillespie is also in charge of the academy, now a shambles with a vast overspend on recent works. He has been credited with bringing in Keith Lasley (both their sons are at the academy) at great cost.
    Kibble’s much vaunted commercial expertise included a failed £1.6 million in taxpayers’ money lost at the closed down go carting ‘Experience’ in Hillington (it was managed by our present general manager) contributed to St Mirren turning a £1 million in the bank into a record £1.7 million deficit.
    Kibble’s directors were disrespectful, arrogant and rude at the AGM. Nobody there has disagreed with that.
    Kibble’s PR agency must be in overdrive but it’s too late. 
    We see you Kibble.
    Time to say goodbye.

    Let's ditch that name and give it a name that we keptkeep  for the next 10 years, St Mirren Park or the Paisley Stadium ,at least that would let outsiders  know where St Mirren play.
    Dump Smisa stadium!

    If that's the case, we've dodged a bullet. I mean a suicide one. Much rather he went outside Scotland as I think he'd have come back to haunt us.
    The guy did nothing to merit not being part of the team IMHO. Even though he's been sidelined he still plays with a smile on his face and for the team when called upon.

    Celtic are signing a 24yo Canadian for £3.5m. Hopefully there is another club out there wanting our 24yo Australian for a similar amount (not that I want Keanu to leave), but we cannot let him go for a few hundred K.

    The match day experience in these games has been much better. I think it’s great seeing our support grow too. Having people shifted to accommodate them for more cash does t work for me. I’d take a player less in our squad and pay more to ensure this stays. We should never go back to filling the place to the point where it’s swarming with opposition fans leaving us feeling like the visitors in our home park. St Mirren park is our home and it’s become a good place for our team. Having the majority of the fans on these days has undoubtedly helped us
