Second Decay

Highlights for me:
 
11 Sep 99 (A) Dunfermline 1-1  This was when I realised we could be title contenders and would not be involved in a relegation battle
 
23 Oct 99 (A) Ayr Utd  3-0 I stayed with relatives in Ayr after this match, was in a shop buying beer and a young guy was in shop clearly looking annoyed that his parents had obviously sent him to buy cat  food, he was wearing an Ayr Utd top and looked even more upset when he saw red away top
 
6 Nov 99 (A) Morton 4-1 This was a few days after the Scumopoly story had made Reporting Scotland, an easy win over Morton 
 
11 Dec 99 (A) ICT 1-1 We would have won 9 matches in a row in Derek Scrimgour wasn’t in goals that afternoon as he was at fault at a free kick that led to ICT’s goal
 
26 Feb 00 (A) Raith Rovers 2-1 We all thought we had blown it when Raith scored with minutes to go, which would have meant being knocked off of top place, if only we could get a draw Yardley in slow motion scores, we would still be top on goal difference, then Junior sprints down and scores, to me this was the match that won us the league
 
11 Mar 00 (H) Clydebank 8-0 Simply magnificent
 
22 Apr 00 (A) Ayr 2-1 Brilliant day, superb injury time winner from Paul McKnight and fun pitch invasion

Ticket booked! Very much looking forward to it, season 1999-2000 was an amazing experience.
Went to every single match apart from the opening fixtures 2 as I was holiday at the time.

The 50 great matches was a disappointment as some of the choices in it of "great matches" were rather odd.

Jack Ross is a good appointment, I was initially hoping for more a guy with more experience but after reading Jack's interview as well as the endorsements from his fellow peers has got me feeling very positive about him being St Mirren manager.
I do think go times are ahead.
Just disappointed he has to work a week's notice at Alloa, surely he has racked up some unused holiday time that he could have used to finish up there 4 or 5 days earlier.
I was delighted when it wasn't Gus too, and Jack does like the fans also.

Got my Kraftwerk ticket yesterday for GRCH most that I have ever paid for a ticket as it was £82.50
Gigs I have been to this year: Suede, Blancmange, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Adam Ant, Gary Numan, and 4 China Crisis gigs with another 4 to follow

He was a great guy, I remember him mostly from being a ball boy same time as his son was a a ball boy too, and remember him fondly from away trips too.
R.I.P.

Bye bye Rae

Last season I had some optimism when Rae took over and the results started to improve, the optimism increased close season when the signings made where impressive but I certainly did not expect us to be sitting bottom of the table after 5 games, we are now seeing the cracks appearing in Alex Rae’s poor management skills and the countless excuses, with the latest one being “When I was in charge of Dundee we failed to win any of our opening 5 league games but finished 3rd”, so now beginning to see through him and his weaknesses in fact I would say he is a very similar manager both in tactics and mannerisms as John Brown.
It seems is loyalties are with Sevco and not with St Mirren.
We should try and get  rid of Alex Rae and bring in John Hughes while he is still available as he has said a lot of positive things about St Mirren in the past including most recently when he was manager of ICT when he said many good things about SMFC

Is John Sutton's agent Billy Clabby?

I am looking forward to seeing the new top, yes it is frustrating waiting when other clubs have released their new strips, but we are getting over excited, it wasn't that long ago new strips would be issued every 2nd or even 3rd season and we had walk down to the Saints Shop in the piazza to view the new strips for the first time in the window display.
