More like we won two games when we moved to a back four and changed the f**kin long ball to Tanser tactics.

For a wee bit of perspective, every NZ player who made it big started out at clubs like Birkenhead. 
Chris Killen, Chris Wood, Winston Reid, Sarpreet Singh of Bayern Munich.
Bill Tuiloma actually went from Birkenhead to Marseille and made it into their first team in 2015. He now now plays MLS football week in week out for Portland.
f**king daft to suggest that we ought to write him off for being amateur. Almost every player who makes it to the full NZ national team goes this route of playing for a club until they are 18-22 and the best ones head for Europe. This lad has had that path delayed by a two year pandemic.
 

KKK, Proud Boys?

Poor Elvis,no game today so he’s got to fast forward a couple of weeks to get his fix of doom and gloom 😂

We should genuinely be making more of this 1,000 fans in the ground issue. It's borderline scandalous. There seems to be no real issue on 30%, 40%, 50% filled grounds at this point where we seem to be either moping about how sad it is fans aren't getting back in numbers we'd like, or saying f**k all.
The fans have an absolute right to know who is making these decisions, why they are being made and why the club aren't fighting tooth and nail against any decisions made on 'social distancing' guidelines given that these don't appear to apply nearly as stringently to many, many other clubs very local to us.
Fir Park will be 47% full on Saturday for their game vs Hibs...St. Mirren Park was (allegedly) only allowed to be 12% full yesterday and only 12% full a week next Saturday.
Dundee, a city that had the outright highest infection rate in Europe until only a couple of weeks ago have applied for and expect to be granted increased capacity for our match on Saturday. And rightly so, who can blame them? And again, likely no away fans.
So why is Fitzpatrick showing up on Radio Scotland yesterday sounding like a beaten man when it comes to more supporters being let in? Why are the club not publicly questioning these decisions? This was packaged up by our SLO the other day as being a social distancing issue but that's clearly not true at all. I get some grounds have more seats, exits, facilities etc, but definitely not a disparity of 12% capacity in one ground allowed vs 47% in another.
Who ever ultimately made the decision, be it SMFC or Renfrewshire Council owe the supporters a full and frank explanation. Why should we still be balloting to see who f**king gets to go to games and who doesn't when other clubs are fighting tooth and nail to get ALL fans who want a ticket through the doors?

First outing tonight Stripes back and front black shorts and socks. Looks cool

I think we're in a situation where McGrath is in no rush to leave , but won't be signing a new contract. Pretty sure if we get a half decent offer for him , and McGrath wants to talk to that club , then he'll be off . JG has previous in this type of situ with P McGinn and Magennis . 

Given our "brush" with Covid last season, you can see to an extent why the club is being OTT.
The last thing the club needs is to be accused of being lax if some sort of spreading of Covid takes place that can be linked back to us.
Factor in that there will always be people who publicise breaches of protocol. We don't need fans heading for social media telling all and sundry that there was no social distancing in the bogs etc.. Big brother will be watching.

Shhhhhhhh jack ross reads this thread

Cant see us entertaining anything less than 7 figures. 
Tied down longer since he came back from Barnsley last year and has a very good career ahead of him if he keeps his head down and continues his good work.

When you see the figures mentioned with other teenagers playing at our level, playing for St Mirren shouldn't be any different.

The home top is a cracker, the away is decent. 

A 1 legged Obika is a better option than Main, he’s absolutely dug shite.

Will be very hard to replace unfortunately, he was brilliant for us, good enough to start for anyone outside the old firm.

Naismith leaving County. Bring him home

I am one of those who think Ethan will develop into a first class defensive midfielder, I do not understand what some fans expect, the lad only turned 20 this month yet they expect him to be the finished article. 
He would not be expected to be at his peak until at least 26 when he has enough experience and has filled out but there is no chance he will not have been sold by then so enjoy while you can.
You only have to look at Mclean and McGinn to see what might be possible as there were fans that didn't rate them either when they were here.

He's a holding midfielder. Exactly the position we should be looking to improve. 
You are judging a holding mid on goals and assists. Christ. 

Mutterings of Connor Sheilds being someone we're potentially looking at on a pre-contract along with Killie and Dundee Utd.
Goodwin worked with him at Alloa and he's got 9 goals in 17 this season for a relatively poor QotS team.

It's days like this that Goodwin deserves real praise.
Not when we win on penalties against diddy teams in the league cup group stage, a real victory against a team that has more resources than wee could dream about.
Aye, I've been critical, which was realistic at that time, and now the praise is real.
Very proud. 

What a comeback. What a performance. What a run. What an assist. What an example. 
What a player.

I will eat my words. What a sensational performance last night. Did not look out of place after being out so long. I'd keep him in the starting lineup for Saturday. 

It was 100% true. Sadly, it was an article from November 2019.

Scott Burns reporting we are trying to land defenderJayden Brown on loan from Huddersfield

The club probably had to wait until HMRC had given them the all clear.

I've seen him a few times , and was pretty impressed. I wouldn't class him as a striker , certainly Huddersfield used him wide right on several occasions. He will definitely bring a new dimension as he's quick and direct . 

Hoepfully you're as on the money as you were about Doyle Hayes 😄
