Aww naw, I've done it again......

There are a fair few on here who could do with this kind of help. Mind you, they're probably the same ones daft enough to click the linky thingmy...

That's pretty much what people with half or more of a functioning brain have been saying for months, now. Which begs the obvious question...that's your cue again, faraway.

Sorry for interceding but, FFS lads. Gee it a rest. Get a boxing ring or, at least, a private message room. I'm sure no one else wants to count the point scoring. It's making both of you look pretty stupid.

Two things:

At 2-0 down, Main wasn't offside and the goal should've stood.

If Power's tackle was a red, why wasn't Christie shown red.

Would it have made a difference? Probably not.

This my favourite strip in recent times. A good tribute to a great record label.

Some cracking pictures of Paisley at dusk..................



 

The old "e-Store" that I set-up for the club  was used to sell the hospitality and replica kit.
In addition to that we had "St.Mirren Direct" which was the outsourced club merchandise store.
You'll have noticed there was two tills in the shop, one for buying replica kit and the other for buying other club merchandise.
There were tax related reasons for that set-up, but it wasn't really ideal.
As part of the changes taking place and the move to Pitch-Pro Retail everything will be under one roof both in terms of online and the physical club shop.
I'm not involved in the set-up of the new online stuff so not sure when it's going live or what domain it is going to use.
Needless to say being unable to buy a replica kit in the first week of August is an absolutely shite state of affairs. I get that it's perhaps related to the Skyview debacle but it feels like there is always some issue or another with the strips every year.
If it was up to me (and I guess it is now partly up to all of us SMiSA members) the new kits for the next season would be launched at the end of the previous campaign.  Get the strips on sale before the summer holidays, it's not rocket science.
Maximise the sales by bringing the away kit out later, maybe launched at a family open day at the stadium as part of our pre-season preparation, get the stands open, let the kids meet the players, get some entertainment in, make a day of it.
In short, make it easy for supporters to spend money, and they will. Make it difficult and they'll find something else to spend their hard earned on.

Although we removed our own app from the app stores you can still download the "Tapatalk" app from either Google Play or the Apple App Store and connect to the forum using that. Our own app was just a rebranded version of Tapatalk.
Part of the reason for the upgrade I did at the weekend was in preparation for hopefully launching a new app later in the year but for now Tapatalk will do the job for you if you don't want to use the mobile browser version.

Interesting view from an American doctor......................he only left out the term "fcukwits". 
Thanh Neville, M.D., M.S.H.S. Sun, 1 August 2021, 2:00 pm       A “We can’t let COVID win.”
This was my colleague’s mantra when the pandemic started last year. And for the almost 18 months since, health care workers have rallied to the battlefields, even at times when we had no weapons to brandish.
We took care of the infected and the critically ill when no one else would. We reused N95 masks, carefully placing them in labeled brown paper bags in between shifts. We witnessed lonely deaths and held up iPads for families to say their heartbreaking goodbyes. We created elaborate backup schedules and neglected our personal lives. We stepped up during surges and when our colleagues fell ill. Camaraderie in the ICU had never been stronger because we recognized that this was a team effort and all of humanity was battling against a common enemy.
But as health care workers, we also were painfully aware of our own vulnerabilities. We can run out of ICU resources for our patients. We can run out of personal protective equipment for ourselves. We can be exposed on the job and get sick. And we can die — many of us did, more than 3,600 from COVID-19 in the first year.
- ADVERTISEMENT - Many of us quarantined away from our families to protect the ones we love. We counted the risk factors of our children, our elderly parents, our spouses, and came up with our own formulas to decide whether to come home at the end of the shift or hole up in a hotel room. One of our ICU directors wrote and rewrote our COVID-19 clinical guidelines to keep up with the evolving literature and somehow she carved out the time to write her own will.
  The author receiving her COVID-19 vaccination. (Photo: Courtesy of Thanh Neville, M.D., M.S.H.S.) I worked daily to adapt our end-of-life program to the changing needs and restrictions of the pandemic and signed up for a vaccine clinical trial as soon as one became available. I also updated my own advance directive and printed it out for my husband, just in case.
Then, effective vaccines became widely available in the U.S. — I briefly saw light at the end of the tunnel. The number of patients with COVID-19 in ICUs across the country plummeted. It looked like our sacrifices and commitment as health care workers had paid off. We believed herd immunity could become a reality and we could return to some sense of normalcy.
But the relief was short-lived, the hope was fleeting, and we are amid another surge. A surge that is fueled by a highly transmissible variant and those unvaccinated. My experiences in the ICU these past weeks have left me surprised, disheartened, but most of all, angry.
I am angry that the tragic scenes of prior surges are being played out yet again, but now with ICUs primarily filled with patients who have chosen not to be vaccinated. I am angry that it takes me over an hour to explain to an anti-vaxxer full of misinformation that intubation isn’t what “kills patients” and that their wish for chest compressions without intubation in the event of a respiratory arrest makes no sense. I am angry at those who refuse to wear “muzzles” when grocery shopping for half an hour a week, as I have been so-called “muzzled” for much of the past 18 months.
I cannot understand the simultaneous decision to not get vaccinated and the demand to end the restrictions imposed by a pandemic. I cannot help but recoil as if I’ve been slapped in the face when my ICU patient tells me they didn’t get vaccinated because they “just didn’t get around to it.” Although such individuals do not consider themselves anti-vaxxers, their inaction itself is a decision — a decision to not protect themselves or their families, to fill a precious ICU bed, to let new variants flourish, and to endanger the health care workers and immunosuppressed people around them. Their inaction is a decision to let this pandemic continue to rage.

Aye, that's pretty much what I said. 🤣

Tapatalk issue has been resolved 👍🏼

Stating the obvious thread for this. 

I'm glad it's not just me having issues with Tapatalk, with P&B still working on it I was worried I'd done something to break it. 
Also wanted to confirm that I'm a rocket too...fill your boots. 
🙂

When I rise to the top of the SMISA pile and become the highheidyin of our beloved club, I’m going to come on here and tell the half dozen or so moaning faced big weans to ram their season ticket money and their “support” up their whinging arses.

I looked at the pic and may offer an observation….
I think he was a Geordie.
 
like personalised number plates these trashy days, Sawers had a personalised phone number… if the Y I. Is a solid indicator.
and it might be.  

Or to fill in the mask holes.

Indeed, it's a well used approach.
Try to take things to an unlikely extreme to attempt to prove/disprove a point, Oaky does it on a regular basis.
The most important issue here is people's health.
As for mandatory vaccinations to allow people to work, surgeons, for starters, already fall into this category with the hepatitis B jag, it's not new and, IMO, secondary to the effects of not having it.
 
 

It wouldn't be an underclass, it would be their choice. They wouldn't be getting forced to do anything, they would just be getting told there are certain things that they can't do. What if someone chooses not to take a driving test? Is it infringing on their rights to forbid them to drive? No, it's a safety issue. Every choice we make in life has consequences, big or small, and choosing not to help protect others that are more vulnerable, at no cost and with very little risk, is no different. Smelly folk in pubs get shunned and, I would imagine, their smelliest is less "dangerous" than the unvaccinated.

Or maybe, since the majority would be vaccinated, it would be the unvaccinated who would have to travel on specially arranged flights, and probably at a higher cost.

As long as we ain't splitting atoms, you'll be fine.
