    Ha! Just pointing out the bleedin' obvious mate!
    Given the clubs reaction to some no-mark coach on the radio spouting random shite that wasn't even directly aimed at us last week I'd have expected us to come out all guns blazing about that article that appeared in the Daily Mail this weekend which made some extremely serious allegations of wrong doing at the club.
    Instead we get this.
    It looks very much to me like we're holding our hands up and trying to mitigate the punishment that is coming our way.
    As the old saying goes, shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.

    Interesting little addition to the Northbank W7 discussion.
    Posted on a road sign in the Houston area is the sticker below which along with a number of other stickers can be found dotted about the area.
    I personally support the noise and antics of W7 along with their enthusiasm, but to start calling yourselves the "Ultras" has a slightly different connotation. The Ultras that attach themselves to teams and are scattered about football, bring mostly misery and mayhem and go looking for trouble wherever they can find it.
    I also appreciate that the originators of these stickers are likely to be sub 20 year olds with maybe a slightly optimistic view of their own place in the hierarchy of football violence, but personally I would not like to see the encouragement of an "Ultra" culture starting up in the W7 section.

    I don’t know if “plenty” is a fair description, but no one is suggesting he’s going to get it right all the time. He’s not Pirlo.
    The point I was trying to make about our set piece deliveries is that generally good (which Wallace’s were tonight) is better than consistently shite (which everyone else’s were on Saturday).

    Our top goal scorer in the Premiership and in the current squad is not rated by many fans . . .
    Yet he links up well, shields the ball well, is a handful for any CB and scores more goals than anyone else in our squad.
    I said at the start of the season he would reach double figures if he stayed fit and yes like any striker he will miss easy chances and be frustrating at times BUT
    HE will still hit double figures AND WE NEED HIS GOALS. He might even continue to improve as his confidence grows.
    Even our new lad McGrath hit the post in stead of the net - but he will also start getting in amongst the goals too !    C O Y S

    Love how your rant about the accounts then just descends into your own wee fantasy land where you've got Goody getting sacked and the gates collapsing 🤣
    On the last point, I don't personally expect Tony Fitzpatrick to work full time for nothing, do you?

    I said this last year and I'll say it again.
    We are only able to continue because we've had player transfer money coming in.
    Without it we'd be rooked.
    That brutal reality is masking the illusion of a nice £100k profit.
    We have essentially spunked out inheritance (McGinn money) and unless we find a substantial new source of income or cut costs drastically we'll have nothing to cover the projected £1m operating loss next year. Basically we're playing financial Russian roulette each year, praying for a pay-off to keep the game going.
    I haven't changed my view from last year. This is financial mismanagement and at some point we're going to be in deep shit. Relegation for example would certainly do it. Even just surviving might not be enough next year.

    You didn’t miss much. Djorkaeff will definitely be a starting player going forward, Flynn and Baird got pass marks, as did Mullen when he came on.However I don’t think McPherson, Erahon or Cooke should be getting starts, I would suggest that it might be good for them to go out on loan till the new year. Edinburgh were better than I expected, but we were pretty toothless right up till the 70 minute. Definitely need 5-6 quality signings before the start of the season (league) onward and upwards

    Totally agree. Oran should have fecked off before his speech at the play off match taking his final pay packet with him. You don't have a year out to manage St Mirren. Cheeky cnut. Now him and his agent are trying for an extra payday. 
    Oran not at the wheel, just at it.

    daved reacted to djchapsticks in Who should we be looking to sign?   
    For me, most eye catching (realistic) Scottish/Former Scottish based freebies currently in England are:
    Paul Caddis from Bradford
    Stephen Hendrie from Southend
    Paul Coutts from Sheff Utd
    Jack Grimmer from Coventry
    Graham Carey from Plymouth

    Edit:These are all expiring according to Transfermarkt - they may or may not have signed extensions or pre-contacts elsewhere.

    We need to be adventurous, not just in the playing sense, but in trying to attract greater investment in the club.
    If we were able to attract say upwards of 6,000 next season as an average attendance then the present stadium is likely to be too small in the not too distant future.
    However, at the moment we can only dream about housing the size of crowd that Kilmarnock attracted for their last game of the season against Sevco.
    Also in our favour is our proximity to Paisley Airport and the M8 motorway in attracting youth internationals etc. and other events.
    At the same time the local council should get its act together in surfacing (not resurfacing) footpaths in the surrounding area - at the moment they are a disgraceful  embarrassment and threat to public safety, not to mention the litter which is strewn about as it is everywhere else in the town.

    We managed more shots at goal and more shots on target than the home team yesterday. That said despite those chances , we don’t look like we have that cutting edge up front .
    The loss of Flynn had a big impact in midfield , and imo I agree we lack a bit of Muscle in midfield .
    As for looking like a championship team ? I think that is a tad unfair. In the last two games we have held our own against teams who have had , iirc Many more years of premiership experience over us and premiership squads to boot.
    Rome was not built in a day my friend. Onwards and upwards.....hopefully .
