Regardless of where the blame lies for the screaming rises in mortgage rates I agree with FS that there should be no government intervention to help out those borrowers that now find themselves struggling financially. Nobody forced them into the level of debt they have, it was entirely their choice. And how many of those pleading for government help are also driving around in fancy BMWs, Audis, Mercedes etc that they can't actually afford, taken out on lease deals ? Why should the British public be responsible for coughing up more tax revenue for their benefit ? What about the millions of UK taxpayers who can't afford to climb onto the property ladder - how would they feel about paying someone else's mortgage for them ?

Yet ANOTHER slap in the face for those of us who followed the "rules", whether we agreed or not, by the arrogant members of the Conservative party.
It's well documented Boris is an utter cretin and seems to be getting what he deserves but EVERY ONE of these cnuts who brazenly attended these parties should be sacked. 

Surprising ..... you have mates.
Unsurprising ..... you haven't a Scooby about using apostrophes.

 
 

I think we have only about 6500 seats in the 3 "Home" stands, so having almost half of them sold already is terrific. Can you feel that there's something exciting building in Paisley this season ?

In recent seasons several of our more successful signings have come from either Ireland or Australasia rather than through pickpocketing other Scottish clubs. How many if us had previously heard of Keanu Baccus or Ryan Strain or Alex Grieve or Jamie McGrath before our scouts brought them to us ? That suggests to me that throwing about names of free transfers from other Premiership clubs will only limit our horizons. Continuing to source ambitious young 'unknown' players from untapped leagues who hope to use St Mirren as an opportunity to magnify their profiles to a wider market is a win-win for the player and for us.

The most depressing aspect as far as I'm concerned is that there appears to be precious little exciting young talent bursting through from our Youth Academy.
If Offord and Jamieson are our best prospects coming through from the Academy to the First Team Squad then it's no wonder our scouts are off trawling through various diddy leagues around the world. I'd love these two youngsters to prove me wrong but, from what they've shown when given their (admittedly few) opportunities so far, there's a helluva lot of improvement required before we're going to see a positive end result.
Happy to be proved wrong though.

Think Mark fancies another go at down South and tbh can’t blame him for cashing in while his stock is high. If we get around £1mill then it’s not bad business for us

Presumably you'll be thrilled at us getting a million quid to have offloaded two players that you always forecast will lose every game they play in a St Mirren shirt.

I'm disappointed that we have let Joe go. Even if he wasn't a guaranteed first choice he was still a big asset as a backup starter for defensive injuries, or as a last 25 minutes sub. We cod throw him up front if we needed a late goal, or tactically for his long throw-ins. Let's hope he doesn't come back to haunt us in the Premiership. 

Never make yourself indispensable, you'll never be promoted.

Good wee stint as Tarzan though

I was arguing with my wife at the weekend as I was adamant that there had been a Shish in Paisley but could I remember.  In the early 70's i organised an office Xmas lunch in the Centurian for about 18 or 19 people.  It was the first time I had ever seen a tab for more than £100, (£118 iirc).  Nowadays that's about what it costs for the wife and me!   🧃🥩🍷☕️
