You could get off at Barrhead and get a bus into Paisley. What did the fish say when it was run over by a Barrhead - Paisley bus...."aargh McGills" -

st jock got a reaction from Mearns Saint in Aaron Mooy
You could argue the other way and say it was amazing that Danny realised his potential so early in Aaron's career but we couldn't afford to keep him as a fringe player as he wasn't at that time talented enough to take gowsers place in the team!! -

st jock got a reaction from whydowebother in Morgan
Did any of us really think we would have gone through the summer without any interest? Should have extended his contract when mcgennis signed. If we can't keep him hope we have good offers

st jock reacted to div in Super Stelios
I've been tweeting him a bit, seems fair to assume that he's been offered a deal but that the numbers aren't what him or his agent are looking for.
He wants to stay going by his tweets, but it's looking increasingly unlikely that is going to happen unfortunately.
For me having a guy who can play left back or right back, and who gets forward from those positions and can score goals is a very worthwhile asset to have in the squad.
Shame, but I guess we move on.

st jock reacted to TPAFKA Jersey 2 in Magennis Extension
Well I can say for certain that this Jersey Buddie (and I think I can speak for Jimmy H too) will be attending many more games next season than we did this.
Shame Easyjet don't do gold cards!
I moved to Jersey 31 years ago. My last game before I left was a 4-1 Scottish Cup defeat at Tynecastle the weekend before. When I came here I vowed that I would make it to at least 6 games a season. I kept this up for about 15 years until about 2001 when I started following Scotland to away games. Something had to give and my visits to watch the Buds dropped to one or two games a season. After the Levein debacle in Prague I vowed that my Scotland away days were over, but to be honest it's been a pretty lean time for being a Buds fan as well (league cup aside of course!) and my visits still didn't increase from the 1 or 2 a season and even then, more through duty than desire.
In all of those 31 years, this season was shaping up to be the first that I hadn't attended a single game. Then Jimmy H and I came up for the Irn Bru cup final. Not only did we have a ball but even though we didn't win I was so impressed by the team and even more so the fans. It was the best atmosphere I had been part of as a St. Mirren fan since 1987. For me it was even better than 2013.
After that day there was no way I was letting the season end without attending another game. I could think of no better game than the last game against Hibs and what a day it was.
I'm now 51 years old and thought I had finally turned into one of those cynical, bitter auld feckers I detested so much when I was a rosy cheeked optimistic teenager.
Thank you to JR and the team for restoring my passion and for ensuring that I will be at the very least reinstating my old vow from when I left all those years ago.

Definitely Smith and gary mac. With Irvine and baird already signed up then if we can get Davis and possibly stelios signed then defence for me is sorted. Another 2 mid and 2 strikers needed and O'brien please

For Saints to agree already, before the transfer window even opens, makes me feel that there must have been some sort of agreement made in January.
Hope we get a decent fee and add-ons!
All the best Stevie, your goals and assists saved us from relegation this season and you will be missed!

st jock got a reaction from Steve in Stephen Mallan
Ask him if he would prefer to sign a one year extension to his contract with us, win us the league single handed next season and then get his move to Liverpool the season after that! Please?? -

Can I chuck my work now,if stephen earns that much,surely he'll look after his auld da.:)

st jock reacted to Dave The Buddie in Stephen Mallan
Unfortunately I don't believe we as a club could knock back £300k for a player who could run down his contract and leave for nothing. Do I think he is worth more. Course I do but I would happy we got something for him now and negotiate a sell on fee rather than get sod all next summer.
Stevie has totally deserved this move. For the last two years he has scored over ten goals from midfield in struggling teams. I hear he works on improving his game after training so it's an example to other youngsters at club that if you work hard on your game and showcase your skills in our 1st team for two / three years you also can achieve a move to a better league and bigger club and progress your career.
That is how we sell our club to youngsters we target. Sign for us and if your good enough you will get your chance in the 1st team. Give us two / three seasons then move on to bigger things.
I hope Stevie's career goes from strength and I will watch that with keen interest. I am grateful I got to see this talented young man in action for us and I thank him for the many fantastic memories.
