This may of already been mentioned, but I take it if McGinn stays at Hibs and signs a pre-contract in January then we get nothing?

Anyone needing tickets for the Morton game.. due to a poorly scheduled family wedding we have 5 tickets in the Main Stand that we can't use. Would rather sell them all together, face value £22 each (they are the padded seats). PM me.
-
Anyone know why the game is at 1pm? Do they not have floodlights?
-
1200 tickets sold with the ticket office open for 2 hours tonight and 4 hours tomorrow, should hit 1500 at least.

Must be pretty windy at Ralston judging by his haircut.

Can't make 23rd or 30th
I will be in Cancun though so that's a slight consolation

Was he wearing an Oakland Raiders cap? Assumed that guy was a pal of Stelios.
Yeh that's the one, I just assumed it was Froxylias as he looked like the picture I'd seen of him and looked greek/cypriot but you may be right.

The Greek striker is reported to be interesting Dumbarton now so I doubt if we have retained our interest in him.
Pretty sure he was sitting a few seats along from me in the main stand on Saturday, had headphones in and looked thoroughly uninterested in the match tho.

Bookies don't stay rich by ignoring facts and looking deeper into things. I think they will be going on the fact we had a great end to the season and have continuity of players. That should cut the odds until they see who's betting on whom.
Exactly, and the only real facts are that we finished joint 9th last year. Whether we've built a strong team in pre-season is only a matter of opinion.

Who are the favourites for the Scottish Prem?
Geez its Celtic at 1/7 that's worth a grand
I reckon we are fourth fav and I would suggest 15-1 would be closer.
1.United
2. Caley
3. Falkirk
4 Us
I think the bookies will have Morton and Dunfermline and QoS priced slightly above us aswell, they'll be going more on last years positions rather than our late season form or good signings so far.

Anyone know what the renewal deadline is to guarantee you keep the same seats as last season? Doesn't specify in the info on the website.

Really? Don't think it was rough enough!
Nothing there to suggest he's a reasonable footballer. Living off the fact he played some game for Rangers, but offered very little since. He's genuinely nowhere near good enough for this level.
I agree.. I've never seen a professional footballer (especially a midfielder) who took so many touches to control the ball and set it up for playing the next pass, by the time he had it under control there was an opponent in his face and he would panic and either play it backwards or lose it.

Can you explain how you know what weekly wage he will earn at Barnsley?
I can explain how... he doesn't

No chance, we got Morgan from ra people's youth system

Does anyone know what % sell on fee we get? Heard various figures from 10%-33% banded about.

JR picked out the 2-0 at Somerset as a really critical game. For me the Stelios 2-0 Hibs a few days later was even bigger.
The Saturday, we beat Ayr to get within 5 points then, on the Tuesday, there was the Ryan Stevenson farce and Ayr go 8 ahead again. 24 hours later the Stelios show against the league leaders and we got it back to 5. That must have been a real, unexpected kick in the teeth for Ayr and obviously we're left thinking we can beat anyone in the league.
Unfortunately, I get the feeling as well though that'll he be away. A few things don't really sit right. Jack was saying he was a maverick who could wind up others in training and it sort of stuck out McGinn shouting at him when he was on the ground poleaxed after one of Ayr's goals in the 6-2 game. I think I'm right in saying as well that he was one of the few players who didn't go to the Bankhouse on Saturday night. A shame really because he would have got a hero's welcome.
Apparently only about half the team were on the list to come to the bankhouse (due to size of the squad I'm assuming) and he just wasn't one of them for whatever reason, think he did turn up later on though. Don't think you can read too much into McGinn giving him a bollocking on the park, that's the captain's job.

Predictions for tomorrow:
1. Raith to fold under pressure - Raith 0 - Ayr 2
2. Saints to hold out for a hard fought draw 1-1 (Mackenzie to score)
3. Dumbarton (already safe) to lose at home to Falkirk 0-2
St Mirren to finish 7th on GD and be 3 points clear of 9th.
4. Stephen McGinn to have John McGinn in his pocket again.
5. Leading to 1800 buddies singing..Ouuuuur McGinn is better than yours, Our McGinn is, our McGinn is, Our McGinn's better than yours!
-
I'm looking forward to hearing it sung by a packed stadium providing we get the result we need. Seen videos of it sung at Hampden after the Scottish cup final and it's pretty special.

I bemoaned the fact with 4 points after 14 games there was no pro senior team in Europe that was worse than us... We were worse than rotten, we were embarrassing, dejected, and naïve...
In comparison, over the last 10 games and 6 games we're up with the top scorers in the UK..
Goals scored in the last 10 games
Celtic - 27
St Mirren - 25
Tottenham- 25
Sheffield Utd - 25
Goals scored in the last 6 games
St Mirren - 20
Celtic - 18
Livingstone - 17
Tottenham - 17

I was talking to one of the Honest Men last night at a night out I was at . He hadn't given up hope entirely as if Ayr win by 11 goals advatage they can survive. .I wished him good luck. .
ETA: that senario would certainly do us a favour. .
They need to make up 10 goals so win by 5.. then they would go above Raith on goals scored. Raith would need to make up 9 goals on Dumbarton if we get a point and Dumbarton lose so I think I'l be taking the Raith - Ayr game in my both teams to score coupon at the weekend!
-
Anyone know where the supporters buses park at Easter Road? Meeting my mate who lives through there.. hopefully time for a quick pint before the game!
-
I still think he's been a lot better than Langfield and Gallagher were but there is certainly room for improvement.

If we could keep the same back 4 as we have at the moment with Davis in for Baird and Stellios and Baird as backup then it's a defence which could challenge for the title. Not convinved about O'Brien though, think he is a good shot stopper but looks shaky with crosses and doesn't command his box well enough.

Let's hope so, question is how much of our £660K+ share will Stubbs be given to spend.
