Nope, it is a bit arty but very emotionally charged
It was a wee joke of course but very best of luck to your lad in his career 👍😎

Is your son a Saints fan?
Just so we can ask a Saints themed question at the after film Q&A.
Hope it is a success.
Is it a comedy ? 🤔😉

Watched the whole game , Murray played very well, served well and looked very mobile against an opponent who looked decent at times but certainly isn’t in the same class as Murray .
Good for him to get back to the surface he loves, hopefully he’ll stay niggle free as he heads towards what might well be his last Wimbers. -
Released without charge - pending further investigation.

Will miss the Morton game as we’re at a 60th in Dumfries and will miss 2 , possibly 3 of the Viaplay games due to being down in the Cotswolds for a week . 😎🌤️

Well , having watched that game last night I can only say , if that’s the best in Europe, you can keep it !
Borefest to the max , diving cheating players more interested in getting players booked than playing football.
Even several bottles of Staropramen couldn’t help. 👎👎👎

No thanks. I don't rate any of them. I can't believe Kane is still only 28 since he seems to have been around for donkey's years, yet in his most prolific season as a striker he managed a whopping 5 goals. And Iacovitti is a talentless thug IMO.
Kane has been one of these “promising youngsters “ for years . Flattered to deceive .

Thought the handing of medals on the pitch looked very amateurish.
Which game was this ? I must have missed something 🤷♂️

I see Joe's off to Dundee.
Hope SR has an idea of where he can afford a better replacement.
For some mysterious reason, Joe fell behind in the pecking order for a starting place for most of the season.
I never understood that one. Robinson constantly talked Shaughnessy up, praising his ability & professionalism yet continued to play just about every bugger ahead of him 🤷♂️
Good luck Joe , but not when you play against us 😉

Seen a few news items that the Raleigh Chopper is being released at an eye watering £995
I was fortunate enough to have the original, seemingly costing around £32.
The classic orange colour from Halfords (I think, the corner of Orchard st/Causeyside Street), I remember riding it home and plenty of looks from people as it was just out.
I’m sure you would have got lots of looks riding down Causeyside street displaying your chopper to all 😱

Perhaps this tournament as I also watched both days from the centenary stand:
I could have sworn that Cyrille Regis played in that game . 🤔. Obviously not .

Baccus has been great for us - IMO , he hasn’t hit the heights for us since the World Cup but still a very valuable player for us and a great asset and potential earner for us.
Strain started well, couple o hiccups but has improved immensely over the season . If Australia have a better RB than him at the moment , I’ll eat my hat . ( ps , I dont have an edible hat )

The SMiSA stadium is in Paisley, not far from Glasgow, Scotland. Have you ever been there when a St Mirren fixture has taken place. If you ever do come along you might actually realise what Keanu Baccus does for us. He is usually excellent.
Or are you just an ignorant twat ?
You could have saved yourself so much time by simply posting the last 6 words. - job done 🤷♂️

Was announced at tonight’s POTY bash that Main has signed a 3 year deal with AC Milan .
They will loan him back to us for 2023-24 😎👍 -

Seems like Ian enjoyed his privacy while during his playing career and after.
Wonderful player - considering he replaced Peter Weir he was very well thought of as a player for Saints. Did he ever miss a penalty?
Scored my personal favourite ever goal at Love St - number 4 against Celtic in my favourite ever game - nearly 40 years ago!
St Mirren:-
Thomson, Clark, Hamilton, McCormack (Jarvie), Cooper, Fulton, Fitzpatrick, McAvennie (Alexander), McDougall, Abercrombie, Scanlon
Goals:- Clarke 25, McCormack 32, McDougall 45, Scanlon 88.Celtic:-
Bonner, McGrain, Sinclair, Aitken, McAdam, W McStay (Halpin), McClair, P McStay, McGarvey, MacLeod, Burns.
Sub not used- Brian Whittaker.
Goals:- Burns 9, Aitken 19.Ref:-
Att:- 13,062.I’ve tried looking for that goal , given it was against Celtic, I assume there would have been footage of it , either a Scotsport clip or something else but can’t find it .
When Weir went to dons and Scanlon came the other way I think most of us thought we were getting lesser player - how wrong we were . A great exiting player to watch . -

Absolutely nothing of note by Roddy Forsyth…….I’m not a subscriber but there are ways and means.
First article
“Our attempts to discover the whereabouts of Ian Scanlon - the Howard Hughes of Scottish football - have so far failed to locate the notoriously secretive former Notts County, Aberdeen and St Mirren winger, but they have yielded a rich seam of anecdote about his idiosyncrasies.
Mark McGhee, now manager of Motherwell, who was cited to this column as Scanlon's former buddy at Pittodrie, had this to say: "The problem with tracking Ian down is that the last search party never came back - and that was Lord Lucan riding on Shergar."
McGhee, though, was able to illuminate our mention of Scanlon's aversion to answering his phone or opening his door, a habit which reatly irritated Sir Alex Ferguson, in his pre-knighthood days as Aberdeen manager.
"Fergie had something important to tell Ian but he knew there was no point in phoning him, so he went up to his house," McGhee recalled. "At that time Ian had a sheepdog called Shep and he was always going on about how inseparable they were and that they had a telepathic bond.
"So Fergie went to the house and rang the doorbell. Shep started barking inside, but after a couple of minutes nothing happened, so Fergie rang the bell again.
"This time there wasn't a sound from the dog. Fergie waited another couple of minutes, by which time he was raging. So he rang the bell again but there was no sound - because Scan had disconnected the bell.
"Next day Ian came in to Pittodrie, cool as you like. Fergie started on at him about not answering the door and shouted: "The bell wouldnae even ring!" Scan said: "Oh, was it you that broke it?"
Another feature of Scanlon's time with Aberdeen was his insistence that his next move would be to a club in the United States.When he ultimately signed for St Mirren, the incredulous Dons players immediately demanded to know why.
"Because they're the club nearest to an airport anywhere in Scotland," Scan explained to his bemused clubmates.
Breaking News: This column's hunt for Scanlon has triggered a correspondence on the Notts County Mad fans' website.
Scanlon's cousin, Andrew, has been in touch to say that Ian still lives in Paisley, never having made the airport, it seems. Another contributor alleges that Scanlon told him at the time of his fall-out with Notts County that he was going into oil management because he had inherited an oil well in a will.”
Second link
“The query was prompted by an article in Fifa Magazine about Colin Slater, the veteran local BBC radio reporter, who has been covering Notts County on air since 1968.
Slater's favourite game remains a 1-0 League Cup victory over Leeds United in October 1975.
"Leeds United had reached the European Cup final a few months earlier while Notts were in the Second Division," Slater said, "and what made it more dramatic was that the only goal was scored by a Scottish winger, Ian Scanlon, who'd been recruited from a junior club, but cannot be traced by anybody now.
"Everybody wants to know where Ian Scanlon is, but nobody can find out."
Telegraph reader John Thomson writes: "I'm pretty sure Ian Scanlon had a pub in Glasgow around the late 1980s but then he disappeared off the map."
The fragrant Michelle Evans, St Mirren expert for Real Radio in Scotland, told this column that she thought Scanlon had become an accountant and promised to find out more.
So far, though, we are still in the debit column as far as current information goes.
So where on earth is Scanny?”
Wow, a very “complex” character indeed.

I'm not in the "play youngsters" boat as plenty of people have paid decent money to attend and a final day victory would end the season on a high.
Not saying these magical youngsters can't win the game I'm just more inclined to think the players who have made this season great get the chance to give us another great result.
Plenty time to play youngsters in the pre season games, which aren't that far away.
Agree . Play our best team on the day and when we are 5-0 up with 20 minutes to go , then bring them on . 😎
We need to see what our next crop of youngsters can do and I’m 100% for giving them a chance to show but we don’t want them hung out to dry in what is essentially a dead rubber.

Finished 5-0. Still think Ross County or Kilmarnock will beat Partick. They were quite good tonight though the awful sending off made it easy.
Having watched most Friday night championship games this season on BBC and enjoyed the majority of them, I think the gap between bottom 3-4 in premiership to top 6 in Championship this year is as big if not bigger than it’s been in years.
I can’t see Thistle troubling RC or Killie unless it becomes a horrible battle. If either premiership team plays to even their mediocre level, I can see only one outcome .
You have to remember however that I have won the grand total of absolutely f**k all betting on football outcomes to date.😬

“In 1977, after being dropped for a game against Carlisle United, Scanlon walked out on Notts County. After openly considering retirement from football, and making false claims to have inherited money, he joined Aberdeen.”
I’m aware of all this history SD but that was almost 50 years ago, looking to try and get a wee bit more up to date on him. It Been almost 40 years since he left Saints.
Was hoping some Saints fan on here might drink in the same pub as him on the Outer Hebrides or whatever 🍻👍
