Where they were when he left them is irrelevant. It won't be shown in any season records. Whatever happens this season will go down to Yogi Hughes, good or bad.

No whoosh. I said he had been good and bad. 4th is good, 10th is bad. 7th is OK. It's not rocket science.

He got them to 7th, 10th and 4th. Not bad for a small provincial club, but hardly 'strength to strength'.

Yes of course we should aim for better, but we shouldn't go into a hissy fit when it doesn't happen. Roy Keane went ballistic because the Irish didn't believe they could win the World Cup, and does anyone remember Ally McLeod's Argentina fiasco? He had 50000 fools urn up at hampden believing that winning the trophy was a formality.

Motherwell, who went into administration, and ICT who have just appointed Yogi Hughes? No thanks. And the Fakes are bankrolled as well. As for your "we'd be bottom if not for Hearts and the **** going belly up" - what a load of sh*te.

Butcher's been good and bad at times. He got ICT into a top six, but he also got them relegated FFS! He isn't any better than most in the SPL.

Butcher and McInnes are playing with budgets that we can never match. Dunfermline, Dundee and Hearts collapsed because they spent money they never had to keep up, and we know what happened at Ipox. Should we do the same?

I wasn't having a dig at the poster, but I do think we have a large percentage of fans whose expectations over the season are too high. We might get into the top six at times, but staying there is another matter. As I asked, when was the last season we won more than we lost? In all of our seasons in the SPL, how many times have we finished in the top six? That's not Lennon's fault, as some would like to believe. Consistency has been a problem at SMFC for most of the last 30 years.

We're doing a player swop with Oldham - Hawkins for Adam Rooney. Both managers think they need a fresh challenge.

I think we need a bit of a reality check., here. When was the last time we won more than we lost? We're a small club, not destined to be among the top teams in Scotland. If we can at least challenge for a top six place and have the odd good cup run, then that's it, guys. Wake up.

It's been the story for a hell of a lot longer than that.

Don't you just hate supporting St Mirren? Only the 2nd day of a New Year and we're f*cked already! Might as well chuck it now, as we're certainties for the drop. Not even a play off, as the Jammies will come good and storm past us. Elvis is the new Messiah - we should all bow down to his greatness.

They always are - b*stards!

Caprice now gone back to Blackpool. Sorry it didn't work out, young fella, but don't let the behaviour of a few idiots here colour your view of the club. Good luck in the future.

Goodwin does do some really stupid things at times, but you'd need to see this from other angles to see if he did actually elbow the guy. Camera angles can be misleading.

Welcome aboard, son. Just be ready for the sh*te that some of our 'fans' will undoubtedly throw at you.

Notice how Elvis has crawled back under his rock?

Ah well, that'll be us f*cked then. After all, if you say it, it's bound to happen.

Good result . Now let's keep it going on Sunday.

Elvis will be scunnered by now.

Oh please shut the f*ck up.

Just watched the highlights. Young Kelly had a dreadful game, the midfield was non-existent, and it's very clear that Thompson is too old to be grafting away on his own up front every game. As for DL bringing Harkins in, maybe he thinks wee Gowser might be unavailable for a while come January due to a spell in the pokey.

He'd have been lifted at SMP for that.

No, it's HIS museum, funded and opened by himself. Talk about arrogance.
