If we can get that for a full 90 mins from him he could be one of the best midfielders in the division.

Fair point, scam is the wrong word and I accept that, but it's hardly an adequate use of resources is it. Soft targets, easy shift.

Pity. We won't get anywhere near the numbers we did v Hearts!!

When's the draw for the semi? Do we have to wait until after Livi v the Living Dead?

Their latest scam I heard from a taxi driver pal is to wait near Indian or Chinese takeaways and then pull the delivery driver. They check the drivers' insurance to make sure it's covered for business use or they do them for driving without insurance.

Firhill or Fir Park for a Saints v Zombies final??

I dragged myself out of my sick bed to pay money to watch that posh today!! I do not have faith in Ian Murray anymore!!

Could be the start of something good. Maybe even bringing retro shirts into the current strip rotation. Anyone else like to see a 3rd strip a couple times a season based on the 'bib' or the all-black one?

Good luck to him. He always gave his best, but sometimes it just wasn't good enough and he became a scapegoat towards the end.

I'm pally with his cousin and he was surprised we signed him for a year given how injury prone he was. He reckons Gow himself knows his ankle is f**ked and never fully recovered from the initial injury to it. I like the player. I think on form he can give the team a bit of class but it's been few and far apart while he's been at Saints.

Something I've been wondering about for some time, especially given the amount of trialists we had at the beginning of the season, is does the club still have scouts and a scouting network? Is this old fashioned and has it been replaced by academies, agents with showreel DVDs, and YouTube highlights? Or do we still have knowledgeable scouts watching dreary games for that one diamond in the rough?

I've a mate who's a St John ambulance type and he said they're not allowed to run anymore for insurance reasons. I shit you not!!!

Yes, I was looking at Trialists coming in this week with a view to being signed before the first League game of the season.

Any new trialists this week ahead of the 'Rangers' game?

Ok so correct me if I'm wrong but that's 5 trialists in the starting 11 and 3 in the bench? I thought Malachy Moore had been let go after Saturday. Him & Rooney back on trial?

You might be right but I never noticed the 'rebranded' post when I started this one.

How am I a prick for asking how much money we made??

I've heard it said a few times that having Celtic at St Mirren Park was good business, but just how much money, realistically, would the club have made? Enough for another player in the budget?

I'd be happy if that was the final table.

Is it possible to have more than 1 derby rival? Liverpool obviously have Everton but their games v Man Utd are also consisted a 'derby' of sorts.

For the sake of continuity I would like to see Murray appoint Teale as his Assistant and Thommo and JG as coaches. Having said that it was that kind of thinking that gave us Tommy Craig as manager in the first place!!!

I've been trolling online and I can't see a 'leaked' photo. Is Cabrini the kit provider for the new season? Will there be a new Away strip as well?

You have to wonder what goes through eejit like him and Suarez's heads at times. He's not a daft wee boy either. Are people still so naïve to think they can get away with stuff just coz the ref can't see them? But, back to Shull's original point I'd like to think ANY Saints player would have the book thrown at them.

I plan on renewing but I start a new job on 1st June and I'm not sure of the frequency of Saturday work yet. If I can renew I'll miss the 'early bird' discount before the end of June. What's the price difference between renewing in May vs. renewing in June?

I'm optimistic we can go back up in 1 through the playoffs. Reality is we probably won't win the League but should definitely be a top 3 side. I worry that if we don't go straight back up we could lose momentum and finance and could stay down for several years. Does anyone have Tom Hendrie's number - just in case!
