  3. New Manager Latest Odds

    in General St. Mirren Discussion

    Posted

    I don't, that's why I used the words "according" and "apparently"
     
    As for Neilson I've nowt against the guy but he's had one gig as a manager and totally made an arse of it, as for his stint at Hearts 
    its common knowledge who was running the show there from the background while he continued to collect the remainder of his 
    massive salary from the SFA...

    Totally disagree, if you cast your mind back to his time at Hearts his stock was as high as Ross. He’d be the obvious choice for me to continue the good work, he’ll have a point to prove as well after his experience with that shambles of a club down south.

  4. Summer Transfer Window

    To be fair Sonny, I think they were referring to the Aberdeen game where we did have a full squad.
    Against Dundee although they won, you could see a gulf between the two teams but one in which we looked way better than them until McGennis came of injured and we had a wee "heids gone" moment.
    If you look at our first eleven, only Morgan is definitely gone and we need a replacement.  I'm not sure if either O'keefe or Flannigan are good enough to replace him but they probably would be good enough to come of the bench and inject a bit of pace into the team. So I think we need to look at LM. Morgan is in some ways irreplaceable. But we're really not a one man team. A decent LM in the mould of Flynn would work fine.
    I'd be delighted if we brought in 5 or 10 new players as some suggest and we will have a bigger budget when we clear out some of the dead wood.  But I'd much rather we brought in 2-3 players that were definitely better than what we have. So Cairey making a third stint at saints, Higdon returning, Paul McGinn, Scott Allen.  That's the calibre I think we need to look at.  Not sure how many of them you get to the pound.

    Paul McGinn-yes Carey-yes Scott Allan-would be great but there’s no chance and as for Higdon he’s now 34 and has scored 9 goals in 4 seasons since leaving Nijmegen.

    Jon Robertson was decent but struggled with confidence issues.
    McQuade was a lazy wee kent.
    Gow was a first class wage thief.

    Quite clearly a fake given last season's shirt.
    There's nothing on Leiwis's twitter regarding this.
    Get this f**king walloper's  ID banned, what a f**king arsehole.

    Go f*ck yourself.
    I saw there was dubiety about the length of his contract so did a twitter search and screen capped the tweet from last August.
    Your ID should be banned for being a pr*ck.

  15. Fans from outside Paisley

    in General St. Mirren Discussion

    Brought up in Paisley, left in 1987 just after we won the cup to move to Fife. Been here ever since. Most active time would have been from 1997 to 2002 when I barely missed a game and had a season ticket. My attendance is pretty much limited to half a dozen away games now whenever we play Raith/Pars/Dundee/Dundee Utd/The Fakes/Hibs or Hearts with maybe one or two home games a season.
    Main reason being working most weekends and having young kids.

    No it's not just you.
    I like many others thought we were getting a decent player who'd played at a higher level for his entire career and couldn't understand the sniggering coming from Dons fans I knew and the 'wait and see' attitude.
    Bottom line is he's not a good goalkeeper.
    It doesn't matter that he'll pull off the odd great save if he's going to keep giving the ball away and cancelling that good work out.
    Also doesn't matter that he apologises on Twitter after each calamity and that he's obviously a nice guy.
    He's a massive part of our on field problems right now and needs replaced.

  22. The Alex Rae Interviews

    in General St. Mirren Discussion

    He coached and motivated last year's team just fine. Many of the better ones (except Goodwin) are still here this season.

    Would you prefer we had a managed who didn't talk a great game to the media? Danny Lennon took pelters for his media interviews and for trying to talk the club up. Or would you prefer coming away from today's game and hearing Rae say we were statistically better than Raith in every department and unlikely to lose comprehensively - the kind of thing Murray would have come away with last season, making out we were doing OK when we were dire?

    Here's a radical thought. Maybe if Rae's post match comments are honest and fairly spot on in their analysis then it is just possible that when he is preparing the team for games and doing half time team talks and choosing who to take off and which subs to send on he is also fairly clued up and able to communicate what he expects from the players. I can't remember being at many games in Rae's time where I disagreed wildly with who he took off and which subs he brought on. So far a lot of his tactical changes and substitutions during games have worked out more often than they have bombed.


    Danny rightly took pelters, they were cringeworthy.
    Since you're into radical thinking, isn't it possible that any appointment would've been an improvement on Murray?

    Bottom line is Alex Rae isn't actually a very good manager. End of story.

    Talks a good game but next to no substance. Apart from Rangers game on last day of last season we haven't really competed well in any games against the top 4 sides in the league.

    Assembled a decent squad this season to compete in this league and make a fist of getting into top 4 but I don't think Rae is actually a very good manager.

    I am not a boo boy and this isn't a knee jerk reaction to a disappointing result. I just don't think Rae is a good manager.



    I'm inclined to agree, he talks a great game but all the talk in the world to the media regarding standards and unacceptable performances count for nothing if he can't coach or motivate the players to improve.
