    This was my first ever night game.

    http://www.stmirrenprogrammes.co.uk/StMirren/STM_Match_Details.php?Season=1976&GameID=197702070
     

    Remember it vividly despite being 44 years ago. We played in red tops and black shorts for some reason despite being a home. 

    The Slavia game, I remember saying to my dad that they had a huge away support on the other side of the northbank fence and he pointed out they were all buddies 😃

    Think jim has to take a good amount of blame here setting up too defensively.  

    Agreed, but he's just off the radio accepting the plaudits for his teams "fantastic" second half display. If Foley and Flynn are fit enough to play, today was the day to have at least one experienced guy in that midfield. A very negative starting lineup and his reluctance to change it when it was clearly not working was baffling.

    I think the problem we have just now is Erahon has gone right off the boil. How Jim  cant see it baffles me our down turn in form started when he went off the boil JDH and Jamie Mcgrath needs someone who's going to Contribute we are basicly a man short there. 

    Agreed. When Ethen is struggling to get into the game he gets deeper and deeper and ends up playing beside Jake which is useless.  When Well were on top we really needed someone to try and get us further up the pitch but we made it difficult for ourselves.

    Lots of slack passes today.

    Most disappointed I've been with Fraser.  Not a good game from him.  Ethan could have gone off earlier.  Looked knackered and his passing was suffering from that, too.

    Erwin today was maybe not as bad as i usually think he is.  He did hold the ball a few times -as Obika does.

    It's the slipshod passing that creates problems for themselves that I find insufferable.

    If Fraser would learn how to stop crosses, manage to pass to a team mate sometimes and generally not wander about in a trance it would help everyone greatly.

  5. Absolutely no composure and tried everything too rashly.  He ran about and threatened to close defenders down but when he got there he stopped. His final pass / cross / lay off was generally poor which resulted in him sprinting back to try and win it back again (resulting in shouts of "great work junior") . On the odd occasion he worked himself some space or was played in to a position where he could have worked the keeper, he had a wild slash at it and it would either sail high and wide or skitter wide.  No-one can say he wasn't given his chance, but sadly not good enough.

    think its gone for pretty much everyone, who could have expected so many people watching...........🤔, old service with the Uni was not great but at least it worked.

    I went back to the official site. Went back through the stmirrentv link and it let me back in. Was then showing event doesnt exist. Clicked on home and it has worked for last 15 mins.

    I wouldnt expect them to be doing this as a favour to others. Of course it is in their interest to do it. That's not in question. The question is what benefit would Scottish Football get from it. 

    I would prefer 14,10,10,10 but see a benefit in bringing through more Scottish talent and spreading more money around the lower leagues as well as increased / improved coaching resources. Repeat.. Only if.. No entry to the top league at any. Time and not if Celtic A and Rangers A were playing in England 

    How will this bring through more Scottish talent ?

    I would really miss this forum, I use it every day, furthermore it’s native use of providing St. Mirren information is great, I personally could do without the conflict but do have to admit it is quite funny at times (prior to getting out of hand).

    I don’t want the forum to go!!

    It's not even conflict. Someone will start a new thread. A few will post their opinions. Baz will post his thoughts . faraway saint and Buddie in EK immediately challenge Baz's post regardless of the topic. Baz will then spend the next 10 days posting screeds of repetitive guff , briefly interrupted by shull. The thread dies and everone repeats the process on the newest thread. It's a shame as the forum used to be enjoyable.

    Don’t see anything wrong with the post. We do practically need a new team, we’ve lost Popescu, Muzek, McAllister, Nazon and could be about to lose Hladky. S McGinn is starting to look like he’s coming to the end of his years with us, Mackenzie won’t last a season (never does), Bairds a liability, Erhahon shouldn’t be anywhere near the St Mirren first team and our strikers are good subs at best .

    In short we are in as much of a mess as this time last year

    It wasn't so much the content of the post but that he was upside down in a hedge when he posted it 😄

    It fits a pattern of destabilising the then manager of smfc. It also fits the rhetoric peddled by smfc, continually...!

    now you have to ask yourself, given this tweet came the day we played Hamilton, and before playing Dundee. Was it a very, very ITK irish bloke, with hee haw followers or profile, or someone else with an agenda beyond just wanting to be first, to break a story???

    the plot thickens!

    Only in your sad little world.
