Ross County V St Mirren Premiership 17/1/15
Griff replied to shull's topic in Matchday & Travel Club
Whilst part of me agree,s I would rather St Mirren were further up the league , and playing the game in the same spirit as the rest of the league than see us isolated at the bottom , because of gentlemanly ideals that other clubs chose to ignore. -
thanks for sharing research lads . Bit that confuses me though is groups owning two teams, Romanaov had Hearts and Kaunus , and Dundee United are actively trying to buy a team in Austrailia ,

Ross County V St Mirren Premiership 17/1/15

That should be the case , but I,m tired of seeing us get players sent off for nothing , and players booked for their first offence , whilst opposition players seem to be able to commit a number of bookable tackles against us , before one of them actually gets booked. -

I thought that too , also for the sending off offence , the camera focusses on a different angle , with the crowd in the background ( who had the best view ) , not one of them got off their seat and shouted at Arquin after the challenge. -
Mallans goal against Dundee was exceptional and probably attracted a lot of Scouts to watch him , but his goal against Ross County was also exceptional , in so much that it was the dying minutes of the game , he the the youngest player on the park , had been playing in a team a man down for the previous hour , and he still had the energy to burst forward into a goalscoring position , and score the winner . Must have a fantastic attitude , which might be the thing the seperates those that get the big money move and those that don,t

I,m wondering if the Spanish club are in a wee bit of debt , and there is very little cost involved , and its just a matter of taking over the running of the club at very little cost . I,m being very optimistic here , but we have a very decent set up , and with modest investment and the right contacts , we could be playing in Europe , which would create a wider audience for the youngster the Argentinians hope to bring to our club.

Its not about them wanting Ross County to stay up . They just hate us . And there are several more names that should be on that list. -

Its not cheating , its being streetwise , its not diving , its about exaggerating the pain caused by a foul tackle , and trying to get the opposition players booked , we are terrible at it , but every team uses that tactic against us. -

Noticed they never put the microphone on the ball for McLeans " goal " against Motherwell , or try and use it on the Aerquin sending off , when it looked like Arrquin may have played the ball . Perhaps , St Mirren as a team , should start this play acting lark , and try to get others sent off. -

I think that too Mark , but whats interesting is that when you see it for the second time from the angle with the stand in the background , you don,t see one Ross County supporter get off his seat and shout at Arquin fot the bad challenge or try and encourage the ref to book Arquin -
Of all the things that's happened re the club takeover , the person that has impressed me most is the person who asked Div to put his statement on this site , he gave us his name , shared his vision for the club , and come across as a genuine football person , it would seem that most of that consortium were from the North East of England , and there was a wee bit of logic for them wanting to be involved with St Mirren . ( what involvement does £1.5 get you in a football club in England ) . Desperate for something to happen soon , and also disappointed that a very hard working BofD , might be remembered for stuttering over the sale of the club , and relegation , rather than transforming a debt ridden club , into a saleable product.

Adam Campbell ?

McAvennie on his full league debut v Airdrie

Googled Graeme Redpath , and if its the guy who owns Bedlington Terriers FC , he actually sounds a right football minded person , who has done a good job at Bedlington . ( might not be him though )

Argentinian footballers and third party ownership seems quite common , seem to remember West Ham getting into a lot of trouble with having Mascherano and Tevez , so I hope our perspective new owners know what they are doing , a lot to be exited about , a lot to be nervous about , but please something happen , so we can get enthusiastic about following the Saints

A Ted McMinnesque type player who sometimes doesn,t know what he,s doing himself , works hard and is often the loan striker , but has a bit of muscle about him and will be hard to play against , and who also might create the spaces for our midfielders to get scoring chances , thinking he,s the type of player who might respond from the crowd getting behind him , Good Luck Yoann

Thinking of planning a wee away day

Don,t know what position he plays but if he,s a fast left winger he,ll do nicely

Probably 21,000,000 if it takes more than a day to count

Very much my thoughts , also it could be likely that one or two new board members would take on responsibility for contracts , and maybe another for scouting players in England . The club badly needs a Board of Directors and a five year plan , otherwise we could end up losing a lot of fans

Well done Graeme Redpath for sharing this, and some of his ideas , and also making us aware of some of the parties wishing to be involved in purchasing the group. With regards to , New Manager , Assistant Manager , Director of Football , European scouting facility , whats wrong with that ? Why shouldn,t a club like ours have these ? Though I suspect , some of these jobs would have been carried out by members of the new board. Hoping a deal can be done soon so we can progress .
-
Wondering if its the Graeme Redpath involved in Bedlington Terriers ?
-
I,d take him , as he would allow us to get the best out of McLean and McGinn , big awkward player who can beat a man , and who might enjoy playing for us., would be offering him a massive salry though.
-
Think you called it spot on Just read the statement from the English based group hopefully goodtimes ahead but reckon the English group were moved from plan A to plan B , and played like a fiddle , whilst the Argentinians , expressed an interest , looked elsewhere and then came back.

So how will your bet go if Amada is appointed Director of football or Head Coach or something , and Teale is appointed manager ?
