    To be fair to cooke, after reading some of his interview for Bath City he seems quite a sensible lad having left us he had chances to stay with full-time football but chose to go back down south to take back up teaching and playing part-time for Weymouth and now Bath instead of chasing 1 year contracts. Fair play to him.

    He did also add that in his time with us he had 3 managers, shortened season and don't forget serious injury.

    Who knows a more stable situation clubwise and no serious injury, could have been decent imo

     

    Playing next month just down the road from where I live.  Might wander along.  5 goals in 6 appearances so far I see including penalties.

    Looks like our wage structure has fallen behind the competition. Hibs can obviously pay more than Saints but it certainly doesn't help with Ross watching Goodwin's every move.

    I doubt very much our wage structure is any different from how we compare.  Simply that all the 'big' clubs are now in the top division.  Last season we over achieved and probably we need to again to finish anything above the bottom two.

    Every signing needs to be seen in the context of who else we bring in and move on.  Logic dictates that those players in greater demand will take longer to reach an outcome in negotiations.  I'll wait on the squad being finalised before worrying about particular signings.

    This got me thinking about good names for pubs that used to be churches (Oran mhor) for example is a crap one.

    what about the pint and pulpit or the dirty cassock or the Christ is that the time I better get home inn 

    There was one in Elgin in the 1990s called High Spirits which was a good drinking place.

    JG on Sky Sports saying 4 or 5 more in, primarily defenders.

    Also looking for another centre forward to compete with Jon Obika and Morias.

    Personally, I think 2 centre halves, a left back and two forward options are a must.

    Sounds like the captain will be playing right mid.  Contract extension announcement imminent I'd think.

    BBC article about the reconstruction in the 1970s.  From memory we scraped into the First Division cut in the last game or two.  Montrose, Dumbarton and Arbroath finished above us.  If I remember correctly the following season went quite well 😄

    Hadn't realised Sevco's predecessors were up to no good on reconstruction in the 1960s.  So just keeping up the track record then now.

    How realistic is that the tide can turn in 12 weeks like Boris says?

    Looking at China, it took them about 3 weeks to get into the peak period of deaths, which lasted about a week and a half.

    Of course, their lockdown was very drastic.


     

    Well Boris thought Brexit was a great idea.  Bit of damage to the economy, leave one of world's 3 biggest trading blocs, geo-politics going crazy left, right and centre.  No problem.  I certainly trust everything he says and it's not completely about his massive ego at all. 😊

    A few short weeks ago on this very forum LPM was being told by the usual "superfans" that he was being "negative" and of having an "agenda" when he quite properly raised concerns about the Kibble purchase of Gordon Scotts shares. Yet on this thread LPM has again come up with a solid idea that if it were carried out by St Mirren FC it would attract a great deal of positive publicity and PR. 

    Meanwhile his usual detractors are busying themselves on other threads encouraging the St Mirren board to screw over season ticket holders who may, for whatever reason, want a refund; busy calling other forum users defamatory names; and spreading fake news about product shortages in the shops whilst boasting about how he has managed to build his own wee hoard of toilet paper for those lucid moments where he shits himself screaming "exponentially we are all going to die. The other one appears to have lost all ability to form a cohesive sentence when posting, it's almost like his batteries have run out!

    Have the club picked up on the idea LPM? Or is this just another opportunity they'll let rot on the vine whilst other clubs have their act together? 

     

    Never mind cohesive sentences.  Feel certain the Guinness Book of Records beckons for that one.  Truly Duracell material.  😊
