Buddie-Boy

Great appointment with a wealth of knowledge to pass on to our players.

After Saturday's publicity we need to get him signed up ASAP.  

I'd push the boat out to get him till at least the end of the season.  He was a magnificent player playing at a very good level down south. I see him as a bit of a coup for us. 
If he's enjoying his time with us and not using us as a shop window, lets trying and get him a little longer. Could turn out to be our Lewis Morgan this year.

The club had the money to spend, they spent it and it got us promoted. 
Wonder who would be the first person to complain if we had finished 7th in the Championship again but recorded seven figure profits. I can just see it now 'Why didn't they spend the money?'

Lpm is just a complete c**t I’m sure he won’t care what hammill even had to say himself about being subbed.

A Clean sheet with Rodgers having very little to do and he’s even in desperation trying to scrape the barrel about how Oran didn’t tighten up the defence with that sub.

Junior Mendes made the difference. 
What a signing. 

I listened to Gus on Buddievision and despite the press trying to lead him in their questions, he was adamant that he is not there to do anything other than support the manager. He was even asked how we were injury wise and he said he didn’t know as it wasn’t his job. He did go on to provide a generic answer but it is clearly not his focus.
Give the guy a break FFS.

What the feck is a presser ? 
Maybe a word that belongs in that General Nonsense Thread. 

This was my favourite game of all time. Thanks for posting.

You guys do the rest of us a favour and start your own thread where you do all your communications with one another. "The Ricky and Faraway bash"
Then ignore each other on all other threads...
I like some of what you both post - but come on let's stop having threads ruined by constant retorts of an unpleasant nature and not on topic -
P L E A S E   .   .    .    

Seriously?
That is a ridiculously small salary for an entire board of directors to take for running a multi million pound business.
I cant believe this is even being raised.
 

Can't see the issue here. The club took in transfer money and paid it out again. Had the transfer income not been there, it wouldn't have been paid out, so the net effect is the same.
The club targets to break even each year and it's done just that plus made a small profit.

Signing books? What position does he play [emoji3]

Statistics tell you nothing about mood swings, player personalities, how each player will fit in with the different players at your specific club, how they respond to your man management skills, how they will respond to your training schedules, how they will react to being subbed in a crucial game, how they react when they have problems at home, how resilient they are to playing with weaker players around them when you lose a goal at home, how their personal habits will be received by your own players, how quickly they will recover from a bad result or a specific injury, whether they are positive or negative influences around the club or whether they fancy playing in rain on a Tuesday night away to Arbroath at Christmas time when their families are hundreds of miles away.
In short, any statistics driven program is yet more expensive shite which tries to reduce a player to that of a robot with a set of Top Trump fixed attributes which you are told will allow you to simply select the correct lpayer for your club. Humans personalities do not fit into nice like boxes and any attempts to do so are simply flawed. Most of the biggest companies in the world use psychometric testing to assess job candidates and most of the biggest football clubs use some form of statistics to select players to recruit. They are all flawed because their is no real science behind what they are attempting to do.
Large companies are routinely confused when they find they have stuffed their departments with staff who don't work well together or are oall of too similar characteristics and football clubs are renowned for spending millions on players who can't seem to kick a ball in a straight line. What surprises me is how bemused people are when this happens. It's f**king obvious.

I know he is attention seeking,  but not everyone thought Samson was the best keeper we ever had.
Not too many 'legends' suddenly retire when they have over a year and a half of their contract left.

We’ll probably be linked with just about everyone in N.Ireland as January approaches

I would like Summer and Saturday night football. 

I really doubt that.

Thanks for clearing that up!! What has how Jack went to Sunderland got to do with the Samson retiral and going to Sunderland?
Can you just be honest and say you have no idea how any of the conversations between Sammy, Oran the St Mirren board, Jack and Sunderland went?

I wondered about this as well - surely managers aren’t allowed to just phone other teams players and ask them to retire? Even if they can, it shows that he completely unsettled our keeper right before the crucial Dundee game.
