    Wilbur got a reaction from eastlandssaint in Dundee utd v St Mirren, 18/3/23   
    This was a match I felt we needed to win if we were aiming for a top-6 spot, so it's disappointing that we only drew. However, I suppose after our dire start today most of us would have settled for a point, which has just about kept our top-6 hopes alive. A few tough fixtures to come before the split, so the Livi and Killie games are now absolutely must-wins.

    To the surprise of absolutely no one, Taylor sells a goal. Just took him 3 minutes this week.
    Meanwhile, Joe Shaughnessy is on the bench. 
    Make it make sense.

    So far, having Irish connections have proved hugely beneficial to us. Kierney, Goodwin and Robinson, all of them appear to have opened a door for us to talented players with bucketloads of potential. 
    Here's hoping this boy is the latest of them.

    Is this a done deal or still media speculation ?
    If all is done and dusted, can he join us this season or is he one for the future ?

    I worked there too.
    The industrial relations problems at Linwood were caused by both management and the unions whenever it suited them.
    IMO the biggest problem at Linwood was the product. Poorly designed cars, mainly low spec and rotten build quality. I couldn't understand anybody wanting to buy one.

    IMO the Dundee United fixture is a must-win if we have any hope of staying in the top-six. As are our fixtures against Livingston and Killie. I don't expect any points from the other two fixtures.

    Wilbur got a reaction from antrin in Should John Needham resign due to inappropriate comments?   
    As St Mirren's chairman John Needham really needs to understand that anything remotely controversial that he posts on his social media accounts, no matter how flippant his intentions might be, will explode in his face. That is a huge negative against our club. Journalists are not our friends !! They are only interested in sensationalism and they will take every opportunity to print any shite that will heighten their profile and sell newspapers for their employers. And any scatterbrained social media posts critical of either of the OF will attract negative attention. Quite honestly I think this is a spectacular own goal by our chairman. Make that another spectacular own goal by him !! Surely he should have learned from the first one ??
    Yes, this is a potential resignation issue IMO.

    One is a consequence of a business/ sport decision that could work in our favour. All business decisions are a gamble.
    The other is an idiotic, immature misjudgement that makes our chairman (and as a direct consequence, our club) appear petty and foolish. Having previously been reprimanded for a similar incident it is scarcely believable that he didn't learn his lesson. Our chairman has become a liability.

    They'd picked up recently mate, only lost 1 from the previous 5 league games and Brighton, who I rate highly, have had a wee wobble.
    Ach, just thought at 7/2 they were worth a wee punt.
