I understand that Thommo has been struggling with a knee injury recently and needs a wee op in the summer. Might as well get it done now as the next two games are MEANINGLESS!
Ah, that felt good!

Excellent. You at the game Saturday? I'll bring them and if your happy you can take them.
I'll DM you.

Spoke to the gentleman a few times at games. Top man and top Buddie, brought a bit of colour to our support. Thoughts with his family.
RIP.

According to the Daily Record (yes, yes I know) they are to be cited by The SPFL to face allegations of forgery. A points deduction could be imposed if they are found guilty.
Here's the back page of tomorrow's paper:

This isn't really a crunch game for us after our win on Saturday. We need 3 points from our last 4 games, I'm sure 37 points will be enough to avoid 11th spot. We have home games against Ross County and Hearts (if needed) to get those 3 points.
Our away record is the worst in the league, so we can't expect much on the road. As such, I would take a point here. Although it would be rather delightful if we could get the win and relax for the last 3 matches

From SMiSA.net:

Be Great to see a decent support at St.Mirren park to cheer on the young uns vs the Blue Scum

C O Y S !!

He'll get floods of offers, though.

It'll be interesting to watch his career Ark.

Made it home fine thanks, I think. Was a loooong day! :

Our final pre split match and a big game for both teams. I think this is a very winnable match against a Well side that just lost at home to Killie.
Hopefully see a big crowd in Paisley and we will roar the team on to a memorable victory. I will go for a 2-1 home win.
Come on you Saints!

Ahh Danny knows better...just wait once Magennis gets another 6 or 7 starts under his belt you'll see... you'll see ....he'll maybe score a goal...maybe

Was that before or after the head-butt?

I really can't believe I even need to ask this. But on what planet does Josh Magennis merit a start ahead of a lad who we've seen all of 4 times?
A 19 year old boy who we chased for 6 months and when we finally signed him, gave him 3 starts before relegating him to 5 minute cameos?
Magennis is a tried and tested failure in the SPFL. His performance tonight made the one which big Bahoken put in on his debut earlier in the season look like Maradona vs England in 1986.
Does anyone genuinely believe, apart from our management team that Josh Magennis merits anything other than a 5 minute time wasting sub appearance when Thompson is knackered?
On the other hand, in Campbell, We have a guy who has proven himself in his short time on the park to be potential game changer for us. A fast, direct, skillful option. Yet we insist on not playing him.
What the f**k is that all about?!

You've probably seen him hanging aboot the cross....

Match analysis coach/scout Austin MacPhee is leaving to join the Northern Ireland international setup today.
Done a lot of good work behind the scenes over the last few seasons, played a huge part in bringing Goncalves here last season, and Kello this season.
Good luck to him.

Got my tickets for this today, should be a good night

Pointless question that doesn't matter some might say, and i can fully understand that point of view. However, we don't have a game for two weeks, so it's a wee filler thread to try take discussion away from Danny Lennon. I feel that it does matter, i feel it matters in terms of defining your own expectations of the club. I will leave you to make up your mind on how to define how ' big ' a club is. In my opinion it's a mixture of history, fan base and achievement.
For me there's the 6 city clubs ( Celtic, Newco, Hibs, Hearts, Aberdeen and Dundee Utd ) who are bigger than us without question. They have far bigger fan bases, more trophies and bigger budgets.
For me we are in the small group behind the city clubs. The 3 biggest 'town clubs' in the country are - in my opinion - ourselves, Kilmarnock and Motherwell. Us and the Well have 4 major honours, Killie have 5. I'm aware that both of them have enjoyed a bit more success - particularly in the league - in recent years. I feel this is cancelled out when you take into consideration the finances of each club. The Well have been in admin and Killie have racked up about £8 million in debt. Us on the other hand, haven't been in admin and are debt free. We also have pretty similar fan bases, therefore i feel we that the three of us are clubs of roughly equal size.
That of course means i feel we are bigger than the next tier of town clubs. I would largely put clubs like Falkirk (2 honours), Dunfermline (2 honours), Morton (1 honour), Partick Thistle (2 honours), St Johnstone (0 honours) on the next step below us. They all have smaller fan bases and have all achieved less in the game.
Then there is clubs who are anomalies who i find difficult to place. ICT and Ross County for example, two relatively new clubs who have fan bases comparable to the teams in the tier below us and who have both made major finals in this decade. Not as big as us yet of course, but maybe could be in the future? Maybe already bigger than some (Morton) in the tier below us? Then Dundee, i have no idea what to think about Dundee. They have 4 honours too, but the last one was more than 40 years ago, we have 2 since then. I think they have more fans than us but i can't remember them being better than us without cheating. Whenever they aren't cheating they seem to finish below us. Are they bigger than us? Personally i would say no.
Therefore i would have us as joint 7th biggest team in the country. I can't separate us from Motherwell and Killie. What do you think?

Two of our worst perfromances of the season have came at Tannadice, and they are a really strong team who are back in form. We will do extremely well to avoid a beating here.

I agree with this.
We are in a bad place right now on a bad run with a sitting duck manager who all and sundry know will be leaving the club in the summer. We are favourites for 11th and rightly so.
However, we have what it takes within the squad and within the football club to avoid the dreaded trap door.
As fans we must accept that Danny won't be leaving the club until the end of the season. We therefore must stop focussing our energies on him and start focussing our energies on getting behind the team and getting the belief back amongst fans.
We can stay up without making changes. It starts on Saturday, let's get right behind the team and roar them to what will be a massive 3 points.

£1900 for the top one, fae' the DVLA. Get it sorted Mrs Thommohawk.

Do you think William Hill will do odds on a John McGinn YPOTY/POTY double?

Definitely one for the ladies
