Did we ease up after the 10th goal ?

10

OK, I'll stick my head above the parapet and expect to attract some bullets. This season we have Rangers, Hearts and Hibs in a lower division. By my reckoning there are maybe only 6 sides in our division with larger average fanbases, Celtic, Aberdeen, Dundee Utd, Dundee, Motherwell and Killie. Also we have, as far as I understand, next to zero debt and a marvellous training facility. Maybe even a terrific crop of youngsters in there as well due to our club's commitment to youth development. So I think it is a no-brainer that St Mirren's fans ought to expect the team to finish higher in the league than Partick, Hamilton, St Johnstone, ICT and Ross County. Yet for some reason there are a bunch of Happy Clappers content if we avoid relegation, even if do we finish below ICT, Ross County, etc. Fans have a right to feel short-changed when we look at the league table and see these teams above us. I understand we are not a 'big' club but every season seems to bring along too many disappointing defeats to 'inferior' opposition, too many no-shows on the park, too many games with negative tactics, and too many miserable Saturday evenings. Mid-table is where I believe we ought to be this season and I'll be happy with that.

Suddenly this year's kit doesn't seem so bad .............. http://www.sbnation.com/soccer/2014/7/23/5928217/cultural-y-deportiva-leonesa-tuxedo-kit-hummel

The John Barrowman / Karen Dunbar effort was 100% cringeworthy. Not their fault, they were working with the material given to them and sows ears don't make silk purses. Rod Stewart (as always IMO) utterly stunk the place out - quite an achievement given the venue and the stink normally created there. And Subo, oh dear me, give it a rest. Agree with earlier posts that Amy McDonald and Calvin Harris performed a decent rescue act on a show that had been plummeting rapidly into torture. One quick introduction required - Gordon, this is a microphone.

Are you sure ? Not according to that report.

Two of the victims were lifelong Newcastle United fans travelling 1/2 way across the world to support their club kn apre-season friendly. I can think of umpteen St Mirren fans who, given the opportunity, would show exactly the same commitment to watch our team. I can understand and empathise with the NUFC fans who have set up an unofficial shrine to these two popular lads outside St James's Park. I hope someone within our club has sent a message of condolence to this club with whom we have recently built up a close relationship.

I was only pausing for breath. Add that pair of talentless crones to my list too.

I'd prefer People On TV That Get On Your Nerves. Starting with Robert Peston, Dominic Littlewood, Phil Tuffnell, Matt Dawson, Brian Moore, Will Carling, Jeremy Guscott (ok, every ex-England rugby international now on tv), Harry Redknapp, the Welsh lass presenting The One Show, Brian Sewell, John Hannah (surely the worst actor in the UK), Gerard (the Dude) Butler, Rob Bryden (oh so unfunny), everyone that ever appeared in Gavin & Stacey (an extra vote for Rob Bryden), Andy Townsend, ............... pause for breath.

Aye, like the classic "F*ck off I'm fat".

He probably only clears drains.

All the other clubs being so rubbish is the reason that Celtic have had a clean sweep of all the domestic cup competitions for the last few years. oops ..............

Have I just seen a photo of HHiBSS 25 years from now ?

Last night was a terrific result for football in general, destroying the Brazilian myth. Wasn't it wonderful to see David Luiz finally realise that he is a big diddy not a mega-star ? Chelsea got lucky offloading that turkey just before the WC began. Also a great result for Spain, Portugal and England as it draws focus away from their humiliations during the tournament.

When did Morton's defence start playing for Brazil ?

There's a world of difference between hormone-mental 15 year old girls that could pass for 18/19 year olds throwing themselves at rock stars and scheming pervs grooming innocent children.

Plenty of horrendous goalkeeping though. Comedy stuff.

100% supporting Costa Rica purely because of how much I despise Robben. I'm really disappointed that no one in the Netherlands camp has come out and criticised Robben for his blatant cheating. Must assume that Netherlands would be prepared to win at any costs. All respect the Dutch have deservedly gained in the last 40 years has now gone I'm afraid.

From what I've seen of Paul Dummett since he broke into NUFC's first team he just doesn't have what it takes at that level unortunately.

Pure gubbed in 3 straight sets.

I can remember when Burmah was a brand of petrol.

I always wondered why they call it the Wee Red Book.

Robben. Loathsome cheat. A worse offender than Suarez.

Picking out players' names on the back of that honkin top is going to be impossible.

I reckon he's for the chop-pers.
