    AllyM got a reaction from shull in Saints 1St Game In Your Lifetime   
    Too hard, it seems
    Either way, mine were 2-0 defeats either away at Dundee Utd or at home to Ayr Utd.
    Even more off topic, the game before I got married, we beat Rangers 1-0 at Ibrox. We never beat them again until after I got divorced.
    Yer a long time married

    AllyM reacted to Reynard in Lennon Gone - Confirmed   
    Mixed feelings about this. Its probably the right decision in as far as he has had four year with us but the league form has been insipid to say the least and at time catastrophic. We have drifted in the league far too much and we all know about how the bulk of the signings have been. The summer when we brought Thomson and co in was fantastic and we did look like kicking on in the league that year, but stuttered as ever. The cup win was fantastic obviously. And he definitely was a good guy and took the time to connect with as many of the punterdom and the wider community. Four years is quite a while in football these days and the board gave him a good go at it and allowed him to see out his contract, which is entirely fair. He leaves with most folks best wishes.
    The big thing now is how we reboot the club. We need to get this right and there's no guarantee we will even have the relative success of staying in the league that Lennon and his predecessor has given us. Nearly a decade in the top flight and the best we have managed has been 8th and not without our struggles to do it. Id have hoped the with that length of time in the top flight we might have made more of a go at making top half but it has never looked on really and we have rarely managed a season without some worries about relegation. You can accept ups and downs, but in league terms we really haven't had anything other than "meh" really. Probably right enough to move on and see if someone else can kick the club up the table a bit. It might not work out, but its worth a go.

    Hmmm. That'll teach me. Harkins - not good enough for St Mirren, but good enough to score a peach of a winner against the Gills.

    I really struggle with this one. I think we were on a hiding to nothing when they went down to 9 men. What if we had won? It would be forever tainted with the "you only beat 9 men" thoughts at the back of all our minds.
    We lost. Gus went. Danny came in and we won the same trophy 3 years later after 5 excellent games, each of which we thoroughly deserved to win. A complete, deserved acheivement that forever trumps the 2010 debacle. None of this is of any relevance to where we are right now, of course, but it is a wonderful redemption story that I'm happy to relive from time to time, and talk about to anyone who will listen, for the rest of my life.
    I'd have taken the win in 2010 of course. But what we got from losing, turned out so much better. Its the kind of thing that never happens to us. But it did.

    We are all hurting very badly after the start to the season, and we are all very frustrated.
    By all means criticise the management team, the players and the board if you think they are at fault. That is your right and the forum is here to take your opinions.
    Please do not however allow your criticism to become over the top personal abuse. Have a think about the effect that sort of thing might have on potential signings who DO look at boards like these, or indeed the family and friends of the individuals you are abusing.
    These guys are doing their best, and if they come up short then fair enough we can be critical, but they don't deserve abuse.
