FTOF

He was at Hospitality at the match tonight too. My mate sent a picture with the caption "Tory wank.

To be fair most supporters were pointing out that he hasn't reached anyway near the form that he displayed last season, and this has been pointed out by several opposition supporters on P&B. You're correct about the ref yesterday. He had a very solid game and refereed the game without making it all about him. MOTM was either Hemming or Gogic. Both were superb. Baccus and Bolton weren't far behind though.

I hadn't seen that post. That's a shocking post to make. Hardly unsurprising though.

Fantastic result. Hopefully has the added advantage of keeping the posters who have been unduly criticising the team from posting this evening. Thought the entire defence was superb today, in extremely difficult conditions. How good is Bolton? Midfield was better, but still a bit careless at times. Kiltie much better too and I thought Mandron and Jamieson worked really hard. Great to see big Ayunga scoring and Toyosi causing problems too. And finally.................. much better delivery into the box today.

We do seem to have a lot of whining individuals in our support. Supporting our team is a labour of love, as it always will be. We have to roll with the bad times as we do with the good times. As it is, we're fifth, yes fifth in league and we're going through a difficult spell. Some of us have spent years following Saints through times like the 90's when we were so much worse than the current situation. That puts it into perspective for me. Having said all that, maybe our whining support get some sort of joy out of behaving in this manner, so if it gets them through the day, then fill your boots.

During the Paisley Fair, the Xmas lights reappeared at Rothesay. The flamingo ones were the ones I remember seeing in both locations.

More a contender for the least self-aware post of 2023.

Especially with Halkett playing for the first time after being out for a while. He's slow when fully fit and Nahmani's pace could have caused him problems.

Looks like The Old Canal Street station/Telford's has re-opened as Weavers. Weavers Paisley | Paisley | Facebook Hope it's successful, as I've always like the place.

Nonsense. Much like yesterday's ref. Completely out of his depth. Maybe when you defend officials, you shouldn't build your case on straw like foundations. Although whoever decided that the officials that presided over yesterday's game were ready for a top flight match is the main culprit here. Was it you perchance? Might explain your comments on the matter. If you don't have to comment on a referee's performance, then you know he's had a relatively decent game. I very rarely comment on referee's performances, but I do call out statements on ref's which are clearly a pile of steaming dung, like yours.

He was absolutely rotten. Like a fish out of water. How he failed to see that our first goal was over the line defies belief. His assistants were sadly lacking too. Let us know when these good young refs are coming through. Let's hope you're not influential in whether they continue refereeing or not.

Indeed. We look way better with Baccus in there, but neither he nor O'Hara are as good as they were last season.

Not sure which thread to pose this question on, but is there a competition to be the biggest tedious prick on the website in progress just now?

Absolutely. We know that suspensions and injuries will start to hurt us, and we'll find it more difficult to maintain our level of performance. I didn't for one minute think we'd have been 3rd in the league for such a lengthy time.

To get to the end of November and have clear air between ourselves and several teams with significantly higher resources than us is a remarkable feat. But no, apparently we're shit.

So now we're apparently shit. More like our "supporters" are shit and have extremely short memories. Didn't take long for the usual suspects to start their mind numbing negativity.

If you pull someone's shirt, no matter how much it impedes a player, outside of the box, a foul is awarded and a yellow card, as per the rules, should be awarded. Same rules for both in and out of the box.

Because the officials are in general absolutely useless.

Only because the green bigots can't get away with biased refs ignoring incidents that don't favour them, that they'd have got away with pre-VAR.

The ones that I know. When they saw Mandron's shirt pull v Dundee on TV, they agreed it was a daft and obvious foul. It was exactly the same incident as midweek. That's the rule these days, whether we like it or not.

We also have subs who make a positive difference when they come on and all of our forwards have now scored goals at the top level. With another proven goal scorer in Ayunga to come back, we're looking a far better prospect in this respect compared to last season.

Nonsense. Clear as day. Just as it was when Mandron did the same v Dundee and a penalty was awarded.

To be fair, I care more about the individuals who seem to be hell bent on derailing the current workings of the club at every turn.

I'm in contact regularly with around 20 - 30 Saints fans from different walks of life, some of whom are members of SMISA, and not one of them could care less about the situation being discussed. These are all guys in their mid-fifties and over. They're all relatively intelligent individuals. Their teenage children are all Saints fans too. Guess what? They couldn't give a shit either. I'm sort of using that as a general indicator of the Saints support as a whole. Maybe I'm wrong and there a re thousands of fans losing sleep over this.

So we're in our best position on and off the park for years and you're advocating change? As much as this is debated on here, the majority of St.Mirren fans, even those who are part of SMISA, couldn't give a shit a bout this matter, other than to point and laugh at "Mr.St.Mirren".
