There are quite a few pedants and nit-pickers too. They make pointless posts and ask stupid questions that take some decent threads off on tangents. BTW, would a "shower of arseholes" hurt ? Certainly wouldn't get create any lather IMO.

I can't agree Lex. Puerile and pathetic stuff. Totally embarrassing. How can he still be churning out Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves, and Duelling Banjoes whenever we play Celtic and Morton ? Maybe funny 20 years ago, just cringeworthy now.

IMO it is nonsense to mention Kello in a list of the greatest ever St Mirren keepers simply because he has played so few games for us. If he extends his contract and goes on to play 50+ matches for us while maintaining this standard then go ahead and make comparisons. That said, our BoD should be encouraged to push the boat out and get him to sign for another 18 months.

But we wouldn't be rudderless would we ? Someone else would take over in a temporary capacity. Not a flattering analogy BTW, DL as a plank of wood. Some might say.

Now that's what I call a haemorrhoid.

Also, forgot to mention, a question (see my post) is not a statement. Arbroath Daftie.

Do all those dafties live in Dreamland, Arbroath ? The wheels have fallen off Danny's ambulance after just a few weeks on the road. We are still in a relatively comfortable league position right now because the top 6 teams have been duffing up the other bottom 6 teams. Ross Co and Thistle are spiralling downwards and Hearts kids are too inexperienced. Meanwhile we have returned to hibernation. Top 6 for us ? Not this season - again !

On the plus side, he does know someone with some financial insight that could assist the club's' cash flow. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-22658744

Is there any reason why St Mirren shouldn't arrange a friendly for the date of our next weekend Parkhead fixture ? It wouldn't have to be lucrative or glamour, breaking even on the venture would do. If every SPL club did this for their Parkhead fixture Celtic would be forced to play all their home games in midweek which would cost them a bundle in attendance money. And it wouldn't half p*ss off their fans, especially ST holders and those that travel across the Irish Sea.

I thought you were off to the pub ??

This whole issue is a conundrum to me. I don't think of myself as stupid or uneducated but my mind remains a fog in this debate. I still haven't made up my mind about which way to vote in the referendum issue. Genuinely, I do admire Salmond because he doesn't take any sh!t from the (so called) mainstream partyleaders. Unlike Joanne Lamont and Ms Davidson (I confess I can't remenber her first name) he doesn't have a boss at westminster to kow-tow to and check with that we are towing the party line with before having a fart. On the other hand, I still feel that a Union is probably beneficial to all and eliminates the obvious risks involved in a small country going it alone. Maybe I'm hedging towards safe as opposed to speculative. I need some guidance from those who are better-informed. Answers please from those with no political bias to influence their answer to my fundamental questions. Why is it that the 3 mainstream parties favour the Union and oppose an independent Scotland. All the propaganda from "daan souff" tells us that Scotland and the Scots are leeching off the good people of Engurland so why would they want us to remain a burden to them ? In particular, why would David Cameron and his Conservative Party be opposed to hiving off a region that (as a generalisation) hates the Tories and offers the Labour Party a handicap advantage of maybe 30, 40, or 50 seats at a UK General election ? If we are a burden why wouldn't he be delighted to detach us from the rest of the UK and make future General elections a dawdle for the blue brigade ? If someone would care to clarify this one for me maybe I will be in a better position to decide which way to vote next year. Thanks in advance.

That's him. The owner after Jimmy Blue.

Lewis Collins used to drink occasionally in the Ring'O'Bells boozer in Elderslie back in the 1970s. He was a mate of the pub's owner at the time, Alan Somebody-or-other.

Guilty. Sorry John, I've been away in far-off places for the last few weeks, just catching up.

Are season tickets valid ?

West stand N29, feel free to come over and discuss anytime.

Of course he cares what the fans think. His job is on the line. The changes of tactics were his final throw of the dice, all or nothing. If he hadn't been under pressure he would have continued with his belief in the same group of players - making changes is his admission that he had been getting it wrong before the Hearts game.

FS, if you don't realise this you must be living in Dreamland.

Those who were calling for Danny's head deserve most of the credit for the turnaround. DL was a rabbit in the headlights who was scared to make changes. The pressure the dissenters put on DL brought about the changes in team selection and tactics that have made the difference. Getting Goodwin out of the back 4 and dropping Harkins and Cornell as well as focussing Thommo and McGowan on the task at hand has made the difference. Well done the dissenters !

Another outrageous dive to win a penalty last night. This guy is a serial offender, even David Moyes has acknowledged this in the past. Obviously once a cheat always a cheat, the guy just can't stop himself doing it. Maybe a 6-month ban might act as encouragement.

Everyone will have their own opinion. IMO the pitch was playable after the pitch had been forked. The weather eased and there is no reason to presume that the conditions would have worsened to make play as excessively dangerous as you suggest, Max. Collum is still a knob whatever your view of today's events.

The pitch was playable. In whose interest was it to abandon the game? A secondary agenda seems a feasible conclusion. And Collum is hopeless.
