    The results are merely part of the problem albeit a big one. 
    I can honestly say that for the second half yesterday, I noticed myself doing something that I've been doing a lot more when watching these games on the telly. I switched off. 
    Not physically, as the game remained on til the end but I found myself browsing my phone, drifting away onto another subject whilst the hopeless commentator mumbled a lot of stupid platitudes in the background and I realised, I wasn't f**king interested. 
    Anyone who knows me from off of here, understands and knows that when I'm at a match, I'm usually one of those folk that the commentator is apologising on behalf of for the language. I attack every ball mentally, I live on the edge of my seat for the full 90 mins... always has been the case... even way back in mid 90s as a ball boy when I got 'booked' post match in the tunnel for calling the ref a 'f**king joke' under my breath as we trudged past him following a controversial loss. 😂
    Point being, at the end, if we win, it's a boost mentally but if we lose, when I leave I make sure I never let it affect me personally or my mood outwith the immediate hour or two in the aftermath of the result.
    But as I sat yesterday, I realised, we're so mind numbing that I had my face in my phone for the full second half, I didn't care to mentally will the team forward or even get frustrated at them for misplaced passes etc, as the team, frankly are f**king boring.
    Not just shite. We've seen shite in the past, more times than I care to remember, but absolutely devoid of any ability in the opposition half, a basic competence of getting the ball into area where we potentially might score. When we do get into the final third, we seem to have stumbled into it rather than carved out a chance. My main criticism of Goodwin teams is that there is no attacking intent or finesse, it's a horribly panicked mantra of  'get the ball forward 50 times, one or two of those are bound to have a lucky bounce and let us in for a shot' and it's absolutely painful to watch. 
    I'm not in the Goodwin out camp. Not yet anyway, but he's about 3 or 4 weeks away from being untenable. Even if the results do turn, the football served will still be the gash were subject to. I don't mind a team hunkering in and grinding out a result when the pressure is on but we should not be performing that way against teams around us. It's an eyesore and a total turnoff.

    Junior Brown? Plays for Coventry and was on loan last season with Scunthorpe where Jim played and guessing has connections still?

    Shares his first name with the first name of a player from the 2000 championship winning squad and shares his surname with the surname of a different player from the 2000 championship squad?

    I listened to the pod cast thought Lewis came over as the great guy he is. In his time at St.Mirren I was lucky to get to know him well and his mum and dad. Lovely family. Great player for us. I remember him playing his his first u20s he was so thin his Jersey was hanging off him. But he had pace. And good technique. I will always love his last game and scoring the winner V Morton. Then celebrating behind the goal to the Morton fans. Brilliant. Best of luck to him in Miami.

    He was very, very unfit when he arrived, sadly - and was arguably surplus to requirements, as you've said.
    However, the boy chucked £500 in for the St Mirren Charitable Foundation earlier in the year. I know that means nothing when considering his footballing ability, but it shows a lot about his character.
    Would be welcome back for another shot.

    This place is a f**king joke. You guys have got real issues. I popped back in for rumours and - believe it or not - some football chat. Not to worry.

    JM1 reacted to Flareybob in 3 More Signings By Next Weekend   
    A reliable source has informed me that St Mirren will have 3 more players signed by no later than Friday 24th July.
    The players are:
    Jack Larkin (striker, aged 20)
    Craig Fasanmade (midfielder, aged 20)
    Lewis Kinsella (defender, aged 25)
     
    In the past some of my sources have let me down, but I am ensured by this person that these signings are guaranteed to be happening.

    The fact that Yardley's goal against Morton wasn't filmed is both sad because I'd love to see it again & great because I'm adding on more players that he beat in that run every year. I think it's up to 15,438 players now.
    Seriously, what a brilliant goal by a brilliant player.

    Great win tonight. Second half was so much better than the first - Hodson in particular much better.

    Durmus again was superb. Last month or so he's been much more positive in terms of running at players and winning the ball back high up the field. Really deserved that goal tonight.

    McCarthy was brilliant again too. Won pretty much everything second half.

    Looking forward to Saturday night's game!
