You missed out trip to Kirkcaldy then? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Black & White Army mobile app

"so far this season"... ... that will be on the strength of one match then? Mair is NOT part of our plans but due to contractual obligations, we are stuck with him. Fair enough... he is due what he is due and if all other defenders lose both legs we could call on him to help out... ... but he makes Bobby Dawson look like a world class defender and Peter Godfrey like Coloccini!!! I'd much rather go with Goodwin and McAusland than have Mair in that defence.

I'd still rather be fortunate to not be relegated than actually be relegated... wouldn't you? Fortune or not... we have a manager who has kept us in the SPL / SPFL and who is committed to improving us.

You lucky sod... how the hell have you been able to forget Hay... I have been trying for decades!!! As for fannywanking... it is a passion and hobby of mine... ... if you know of any fanny's in need of attention... ... ... ...

I am concerned for sure... as all of us are. Many on here are great admirers of Terry Butcher and what he is achieving at ICT. That includes me. And yet, when they were relegated, we all said that it proved how much better Gus was than Butcher. Had big Tel been the Saints gaffer and we had been relegated... would we have continued to support him? As I said, I have genuine concerns... something is wrong behind the scenes for sure. Danny was interviewed a week or so ago and said that pre-season results were not important, it was about working towards peaking in 2 - 3 weeks time! Our first league game of the season was before we were due to peak!!! A flying start in this league can make such a difference and that concerned me. I am also very worried about Thommo's body language. Is it frustration caused by nothing going right for him... or is it symptomatic of deeper concerns? I said before todays match that DVZ was a concern and that young Naismith a better performer when he replaced him vs Ton... ... I continue to worry about Vanzy's lack of form. Complaints about last season are futile... it was unique. The cup win definitely led to a deterioration in league form... not one of us would swap that achievement and subsequent celebrations for an 8th place finish, so lets concentrate on THIS season. Why are we not prepared to start day one of the season all guns blazing? There may be time left in the transfer window... but the season has started! You wouldn't pay for tickets to see a performance of Vivaldi's Four Seasons, and accept a shitey rendition of Spring full of bum notes and missing orchestra members in the hope that the other three parts would be better! You want it to be right from the first note... you want to be confident that all members are in place, know their part, and have rehearsed sufficiently. I am genuinely worried that out one footballing season may well feel like four!!! However... I remain fully supportive of the current manager and will personally slap anyone who mentions either Calderwood or Sheils as potential managers of our club!!! As for Starky being cut more slack for being a St Mirren man... ... the guy was berated week by week as a player when wearing the stripes, as few fans could see the bigger picture and the quality we had at that time!!!! A lesson in there somewhere!

Goodwin doesn't have the tactical or emotional discipline for midfield any more... or the stamina. I actually think he is alright in defence... better than many we have had there in recent years... including Mair, who is one of the most lightweight defenders we have had in a long time. Pulled out of position at will and turned all to easily, Mair is most definitely NOT the solution.

Both Partick and Dundee United went with a lone striker last night. I reckon most SPFL teams will do the same this season. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Black & White Army mobile app

lost that prediction already! The Jags supporters behind the goal were allowed to stand and even enjoy themselves all night tonight!!!

£37 for one adult and one 15 year old... before even looking at transport costs! Piss right off. Partick Thistle are asking £20 for one adult and one 15 year old for their match against Dundee United. I reckon the Maryhill Magyar may even entice a few neutrals with their sensible pricing... and I am seriously considering being among them.

Just sent this text to Radio Scotland for Gary Locke... ... I have nothing but respect for Hearts as a club. I have very good friends who bleed maroon blood. I like Hearts. I am good friends with someone who played 12 years at Tynecastle and have been awed by how this former player in his 80s has been treated by them. I truly like Hearts. But.... ... as a St mirren fan I have seen us rot in the lower league for years because we serviced debt rather than speculated. We were relegated after one season in the spl because we would not spend what we didn't have. We lost out captain to Rangers for higher wages than we would pay. We lost our keeper to Dunfermline as they paid him a higher wage. We lost a left back and a keeper to Killie for higher wages (note the clubs and who is next). We wanted to sign Craig Beattie... he was interested in signing till Hearts offered higher wages... he joined Hearts and helped them win a cup. Can Gary understand why it might be hard to empathise with hearts current situation when we have all seen it coming for years and other clubs, like Saints, have suffered for living within our means?
