  4. Renfrewshire Cup Final

    in Matchday & Travel Club

    Posted

    Not pleased with the score so far, and a look at the bench shows an alarming lack of depth - there's no-one there that looks like they could turn a game around...

    Gie's some signings Danny!!!

    Looking on the bright side, as it stands Partick are losing to Arbroath, Hearts are drawing with QotS, ICT are losing to Raith and Aberdeen are losing to Shelbourne - we might not get relegated after all!! :P

  6. When Is A Transfer Embargo Not A Transfer Embargo?

    in Other Football

    Posted

    Rangers are not allowed to pay transfer fees for players.

    Nor can they PLAY any of these players they have signed until the transfer embargo ends.

    They haven't broken any of the terms of the embargo.

    Neither has anyone else unless someone can provide proof.

    I think the OP might be getting at Rangers arranging PCA's with players, playing them as trialists before the signing embargo finishes, and then signing them.

    A rather handy little loop-hole, for them....

    Okay, didn't see this coming!!

    One night about a month ago I hitched a taxi from Dublin city centre back to my flat. The inevitable conversation with the cab driver regarding my nationality ensued, and was told by the cab driver that he had just returned from a town called Paisley, where he had been trying to arrange a deal with the local club about signing a young, Irish midfielder he represented.

    He also told me that we had a Greek striker on trial, and that Danny would be mad not to sign him. (These were his exact words) He also told me that Stuart McCall was a stick on for the Sheffield Utd job, and should stick a fiver on it.... He was very complimentary about Saints and our management team and wished them all well.

    Suprised this transfer happened - I actually thought I dreamed the entire conversation, I was kinda pished at the time....

    Anyway - welcome Kealan!!

  13. St Mirren V Celtic League Cup Semi Final

    in Matchday & Travel Club

    Back in Dublin and the relative safety to wear my Saints shirt in public.

    Still. Buzzing.

    My throat is absolutely goosed.

    What a game - it still hasn't sunk in what I witnessed yesterday. And I took the Sellick supporting brother - by the end of it he was cursing the Sellick players as much as the rest of us. Think we may have a convert on our hands (he even asked how much a half-season ticket would cost!!)

    Got an essay due at 5, but I just can't concentrate!! Fugg it - I'll hand it in tomorrow.

    PS can someone do an avi/mp4 file of the game and make it available? I've got the 4-0 one and would like to add yesterday's to the collection.

    PPS if anyone in Ireland has the misfortune of watching the Frontline on RTE tonight - keep an eye out for our away top in the audience, that'll be me!! :D

  17. Poor R*ngers Theads Merged.....

    Highbury_Square_interior.jpg

    This is what they done with one of the stands at Highbury after Arsenal moved to The Emirates.

    I wish they'd stop greeting and just get on with it in Govan. Get Ibrox converted into the flats that it will become & at last, Rankers will finally make a worthwhile contribution for the community

    I'm sorry, there's no way a building that nice would survive in Govan.

    See if this helps. Do you know where Mirin came from? Bangor, where I live. Nobody is sure where he was born but he was believed to be high born from a well-to-do family. His mother brought him to Bangor Abbey when he was very young to study under Comgal and in time he became prior of the abbey. Later he travelled to Scotland and founded Paisley Abbey. It's believed he was chummy with Columbus and of course in due course they became saints. These guys were not to be interfered with. When they said you better become a Christian, if you disagreed you could be in soapy. They used the bible in one hand and the sword in the other. Sounds vaguely familiar. An early form of terrorism.

    When I found that out when I moved over here, I told the guys over here I was doing the reverse journey to bring some badly needed culture. And do you know what the wee tinkers said? They said 'F**K away off back to Paisley ya Scottish twat!'

    Sorry bud, St Mirin didn't found Paisley Abbey, Walter FitzAlan did in 1163. St Mirin may have started a religious community near the site, but the Abbey itself came along much later.

  19. CIC constitution ideas

    in 10000Hours Archive

    Posted

    I would rather have the CIC members board weighted towards general members.

    I would also like to see some representation on the CIC exec board, sooner rather than later.

    I would like to see a point in the constitution relating to OF scumbaggery being an immediate get to f"k out of it just in case we get any OF bawbags sitting in the board seats as a result of the corporate / community memberships.

    I would like to see belt and braces stuff around the 52% shareholding and who they can be sold to - that would keep us in the position that we are in now, well even better actually.

    I would like to see very clear deifinitions of when the Exec Board can apply its veto, and perhaps some form of appeals process in place - maybe even to an externa body - a form of St Mirren fans Caesar aka St Sid. :P

    There should also be a ban on politicians holding any form of office at St Mirren - especially c"ntcillors. :)

    Completely agree!!! Don't want the CIC or the club becoming someone's political tool in the future.....

    Any other FFF's going to Aberdeen this Saturday? My first game of the season, I'll post the current games attended and miles travelled after the first quarter. :wink:

    I'm gonna be in Aberdeen this weekend, but can't get to the game.... Does that count?? :P

    Ddnt think so...

    As an aside (and a shameless plug), if there are any Buds hanging around Aberdeen on Saturday evening, and feel like some culture, the National Youth Choir of Scotland are performing in St Machar's Cathedral at 7.30pm. Tickets are cheap, and we've some great music to perform!!
