  1. I was disappointed when Goodwin left, which might have been more down to his "club legend" status rather than his management performance, which was very inconsistent. I didn't shit the bed during Robbo's bedding in period and thankfully neither did the board. Robbo is streets ahead of Goodwin and we're incredibly lucky to have him, for now. We've given every team in the top six a run for their money in at least one game this season and that's solely down to Robbo.
  2. That can't be right according to Walloper Saint.
  3. Sounds like a great idea. Give wider access to fans to socialise both pre and post match, and generate more income through corporate hospitality. A win, win situation. I pay a yearly subscription to the 1877 club, but I think the last time I was there was after the Livingston game when we got promoted to the Premiership. I was going to cancel this year, but I forgot. I noticed the yearly subscription was taken off in March this year. Wonder if I'll get a refund when they shut it.
  4. I doubt anyone would have batted an eye lid if a conservative leader or politician had been involved in such a situation, given the eye-watering levels of corruption they've consistently displayed over the past few years, and most of it at considerable cost to the tax payer. Even that distasteful level of corruption seems to have been meekly accepted by the majority of the UK population. The SNP situation is certainly unusual indeed and their motives should indeed be questioned. I do find it strange however that the constabulary can find it in themselves to investigate the potential misuse of non-tax payer related funds, but don't see fit to investigate the hundreds of millions of pounds of tax payers money spent during Covid, that ended up in the bank accounts of friends of the tories.
  5. I'd imagine most members, like me, are season ticket holders, so the club will already have their personal details. Yet another mountain being made out of a molehill I certainly didn't give permission to receive an e-mail with someone airing their personal vendetta against club officials. Anyway, I'll leave the wee boys to their playground squabbles.
  6. The guy knows no bounds to his attention seeking. I don't remember giving him permission to infest my mailbox with his pish. If he's allowed to stand, then there will be a direct debit being cancelled.
  7. I know what you mean, but I was really meaning supporters of other teams.
  8. Five figure bid in for Jacob Bedeau, Central defender at Morecambe.
  9. TBH no one outside of the club has the slightest interest in this nonsense. Most Saints fans I know couldn't care less about it, as they have a life.
  10. Plenty of "Explosive" diarrhoea of the verbal type on the thread though.
  11. Club Board Statement (stmirren.com) Oops! So it wasn't land that St.Mirren owned.

    Obviously after the same standard of clientele that frequented its previous incarnation.

  15. Happily for us that's not how it works. There are a few ways that this can play out. A club will pay the development fee or a fee that the club deems suitable. Which, with the club's finances being as they are, won't be a cut-price sum. A club can choose not to pay the development fee or a fee that the club deems suitable, and it goes to tribunal, where the training development fees criteria will be applied along with factors like first team appearances and U-21 appearances etc. No-one is interested enough to stump up the development fee or take it to a tribunal and he re-signs. We keep him for a year, then the same scenario arises as the training development fee covers players up to the age of 23. Henderson is 21. He signs for somewhere out with UEFA jurisdiction e.g. USA and we don't get a development fee.
  16. You could well be correct. Should be interesting to see how this plays out. I wonder how much the development fee amounts to? Pure speculation on my part, but If Reid's was around £100K, you'd have to imagine that Henderson's would be at least that.
  17. Who do you think will pay a development fee for him then?
  18. If we were to go with wingers next season, and we want to push on, we need better "as a regular first team choice" than Henderson IMO. A signing akin to the quality of Ilkay Durmus would do. Henderson would be decent back up though. However I'm sure Henderson will be set on a move to league one or two down south in order to get a significant increase in wages. Although I'm not sure how much the runners up or the winners in the cup final get. ICT might be able to use that for any development fee we're due.
  19. Unfortunately finding and being able to afford a goal scoring striker for a team like us is like finding the holy grail. If Main goes and we could somehow find some club daft enough to take Brophy off our hands, every penny should be put into finding a striker that can score double figures, ideally towards the 15-20 goal mark. Motherwell seemed to have lucked out with Van Veen, although even he was getting pelters from their fans earlier in the season. So there must be suitable targets out there. This should be Foyle's priority.
  20. Big Ayunga is a huge miss for us in that respect. When he's on his game he causes defences a lot of problems. Sadly Watt has turned out to be as much use as Brophy so far. I live in hope......................
  21. I don't know of any Saints fans who are arrogant enough to think that. However, over the season so far, we clearly are a bit better than the teams that are in the bottom six. I just don't get fans that constantly belittle any positives that happen at the club. Why even bother "supporting" us? I'm not including you in that category.
