    Not at all , but what is sad is your smallmindedness and abject failure to respect other peoples opinions , although you're quick enough to bellow your own fact free propaganda.
    FYI ,I've always loved our club and often hark back to the bad old days as well as the good ones , that's what real supporters do you know? In 1988 we were staring relegation in the face , the fact that we had defeated far bigger clubs a year earlier prior to winning the Scottish Cup had no relevance , we were going down , so we bagged our senior employee and his assistant , heroes 12 months previously, and we stayed up, because that's all that mattered. We're in a similar situation now and action is required.

    I can't help feeling this whole season could have been handled a lot better. Let's look at where we're at just now. Manager doesn't know if he is coming or going and is managing a squad of players who don't know if they are being kept on after June. Now if the board tell Danny in two weeks he is leaving at the end of the season what impact will that have on him and the team. Also the players will be looking at where they are going to be playing next year and I'm certain will not want to get injured. It makes for a really bad situation for us. If Danny was doing well the board would have him signed up and that's it. If he was winning games then regardless of who took over then the board would have ring fenced the manager for doing well. This whole situation is terrible and the uncertainty is killing us. We have eleven games left and a manager who's in no mans land along with players who now will have one eye on their future. The players are not delivering and it's clear this needs sorted. For me the board should have taken action by now ! I see folk saying if we lose on sat then that will be it for Danny? Will it? This club is sleep walking to relegation and has been since July last year with the horrendous transfer window and riduculous cull of experienced players who were not replaced. It has been a torrid year but with eleven games left tell me who do you trust to get the team out of this mess and it is a mess a very sorry mess? Do you trust the board or Danny or the players themselves have they got what it takes. I'm hearing zero from anyone and the fact that gilmour is so quiet speaks volumes. I will finish with this ... If we go down we will run into rangers and of course a revived hearts . Now it's ok to say we will have good gates v them? Will we really? Sky are likely to pick them up for a 12-45 kick off on a Sunday when hospitality is harder to sell. Combine that with the fact we have poor gates at televised games and your losing already. For every rangers game there is a Cowdenbeath or Alloa bringing 150 fans each. The training ground needs financed and without the prize money in the top division will it still operate and to what level. The cut backs will be severe people will lose their jobs and the playing team will be young lads with three older heads. It's grim and Roy macgregor at county said he had to spend some cash to stay in the league as it's vital to avoid the drop. On New Year's Day they were I think 11 points behind us yet now look at them. If we go down then its a long long way back. Let's not go down and remember folks it is not too late to change this we have 11 games. We all kinda know what needs to happen but not with three games left!!!!

    I am laying off any calls for the manager to go this week. It's far too important a week to bother with this. I am instead going to back the team and the manager as our game at home on Saturday is absolutely vital. I know I have been a critic but I think we can get behind the whole team and make a difference on sat. The players in turn need to respond

    Acht, f**k it, some context ladies.........
    This is all about our continued inability to make in roads in this league. Danny is just the latest to try and age prematurely to crack this seemingly insurmountable obstacle for ST Mirren.
    ICT, Ross CO, The Fakes, even the crumbling Killie seem to manage some nous and progress, us, we lamentably claw , just about and stay in the SPFL up till now.
    It ain't pretty , it ain't pleasant and it leads to excessive comfort drinking on my part, but I genuinely just don't understand our continued lack of resolve and inability to lord it over fellow diddy clubs.
    We seem to be perennial bottom feeders..........I think worryingly, this season, that the media establishment and our own core of fans are resolving to the reality that we are potentially taking a drop. Ffsake even Per tick can grab Lyle taylor on loan. Wtf ??? He was a player we all saw last season, yet , not available to us ???
    I think our core management infrastructure is starved of resource and guile, scouting wise we wing it, team wise, well, it's a shambles, the club is for sale, a sorry state for long suffering Buddies.
    Someone buy us and end this cycle of persistent underachievement.
    It was nice of the Rugby chaps to produce a late and spirited performance today, well done, puts a smile on a terrible day for this SMFC supporter.

    How much will we lose if we go down? A small fortune and yet we persist with the management who won't cost that much to bag. It's time now to save our season. 11 matches to go and we're only a point behind. Saving saints won't require a remarkable run but it will require a team to start playing again as quite clearly they have stopped responding to Danny and Tommy. Listen I know it horrible the criticism and I am not taking any pleasure in this. I just don't want our team to go down and I think saints will need to change now to stay up
