  1. What that innocent lad Ched, still making his victim's life hell?

    Surely not?

    Sorry. I haven't visited the site cited but could you tell me if you know for certain Evans had anything to do with the content ?

    He could have nipped all that in the bud a long time ago if he had wanted to. Guy's a c**t.

    Serious question. Would you "nip it in the bud" if you truly believed you had not done the crime but served the time?

    I don't profess to know all the details but I have read he firmly believes he is innocent.

  2. Apparently not

  3. Poz. I acknowledge and echo your fears but, at the end of the day, all we can do is hope.

    Its in our hands because if we don't fund them they'll do one!

    What would it achieve to distance ourselves from the club? Nose and face. We need to be in a position to take the reins if the horse bolts but I don't believe it's in our best interest to boycott long term as that is a recipe for definite demise and we would be held, at least in part, responsible for ex Saint Mirren.

  4. The fan was also a former football commentator for Chilean TV

    Q. It looks like Pini will soon buy St Mirren. Do you think this will be a positive development for that club or not? What can the St Mirren fans expect?

    A. I don't think that is good news for them. From experience it will be a deal done for economic purposes rather because of any real interest in what happens on the field. I have nothing personal against Mr Pini but from analysing his time at Rangers there was little there designed to bring joy to the supporters. If there is a way to prevent him buying their club, I would urge the St Mirren fans to do all they can. Nobody can assume a love for a club overnight and ultimately that's what matters.

    All I can say to that is, "DUH!" Not exactly an exclusive that he would be looking for profit. IF the deal goes through, (and as time passes so does the likelihood of it doing so), we can only hope the by-product of his attempt at financial gain helps rather than hinders Saint Mirren's cause.

    It's out of our hands as we did not, collectively, take charge of our own destiny.

  5. We nearly always lose in the highlands, so I expect we will this weekend too. This forum will certainly be a sight to behold that evening if we do.

    Of course it would mean we would go 3 points behind County with 16 games to go, 2 of which are against County. Hardly fatal. But you won't know it!

    don't think it will affect site as much as it would previously as there seems to be an acceptance of our demise as far as relegation is concerned..

  6. I don't actually think that there are officially "home" and "away" strips, just 1st choice and 2nd choice (and sometimes 3rd choice). I could be wrong though, it has been known to happen occasionally.

    I thought there was a designated away strip in as much as the away team has first obligation to change in event of a clash. Although this is negated if the away teams "away kit" also clashes.

  7. Of course you find it strange. You're another one who has read his personal website, only seen a fraction of the evidence and thought it doesn't add up.

    Well duh! You've not seen ALL the evidence.

    On the other hand a jury of his peers sat through all of the evidence unlike any of us on this forum, and found him guilty.

    Beyond all reasonable doubt.

    They saw all the evidence you and Dave have posted.

    BUT they also saw all the other stuff Ched is NOT posting up and that clearly allowed them to find him guilty.

    Where did I say I had read his Website? There are other ways to get the information/ But. Hey ho. That wouldn't enter your insular world. It wouldn't be the first time a "jury of their peers" made an error in judgement. By the way. IF he is posting lies on the internet he could well find himself in more sh!t. I couldn't comment on that as I haven't read it.

    It's a stupid phrase repeatedly spurted out by crazed religious nutjobs and should be ignored along with all their other nonsense.

    Sin.

    FFS!

    You mock the word sin? FFS. Call it what you will but it still comes down to deciding if you are fit to be judgemental and whether it is right for you to decide another person's guilt or innocence and the affect it has on their livelhood on the strength of the very limited evidence you yourself blame others using to cite caution and condemn threatening actions

  8. IF the present shareholders have sold their allocation it is entirely their right to do so. No amount of preaching by the likes of Shull will make a difference. It's a bit rich for such as he to try to dictate what should be done even to the extent of asking the current board to minimize their profit to appease us. It is, at the end of the day, their shares to sell and they have every right to maximize that return. We are only entitled to hope, not expect, that they have looked into the new, prospective owners.

  9. I reckon that's the plan.

    Rigers is as good and probably on a lesser wage. If it frees up enough dosh to let us sign Scrapper Griswald from Melchester Rovers then I'm up for it.

    Rigers was at fault for both goals today. He doesn't command his box at all. I wouldn't be surprised to see Kello between the sticks at Dingwall.

  10. That's going to be a Trivia question soon, when and who did St Mirren beat in their last home win, was it Hibees? I was there but it might have been a dream

    Ross County in the league but, more recently, the mighty Dunfermline in the cup.

    Do I win a prize? If so. Can I choose? A room in the new hotel facing away from the park please!

  11. This is like a Hollywood movie. Die Hard or something. Truly awful scenes.

    Edit: naturally meant to put this in 'general nonsense' but on fiddly iPod and ballsed it up. Mods!

    I'm sure David will be fine with leaving it here (I believe a St Mirren player once visited Paris!)....Flush.gif

    That would have been Bahoken sneaking back to mummy and daddy.

    I had my 18th party in Paris, canny remember much about it!!!!

    You're lucky Ched Evans wisnae' around then.

    Why, was it that long ago. whistling.gif

    Sure it wasn't still Valentino's?

    ;)

    Poz, Drew, etc, You really have let yourselves down here!

  12. What a lot of sanctimonious pish I'm reading on here. From some I certainly expect better of.

    WHAT HAPPENED TO "LET HE HATH NO SIN?"

    I open this rant with an unequivocal condemnation of the act the man has been accused and convicted of and would be less than enthusiastic about Evans joining Saints but the witch-hunt and death threats from certain sections of the public are, frankly, disgusting.
    My take on this situation in general is, and I know I won't be in the majority, that the guy did his time and, as such, is entitled to a fresh start. The fact he hasn't shown contrition is a complete red herring. He can't admit to anything as he is in the process of appealing his conviction and just may think himself innocent. I have taken the time to read the details of his trial and I was surprised that it appears that two incidents were alleged to have taken place during the period but only Evans' was deemed guilty. I find this strange and am not surprised he's appealing. In saying that, he was found guilty and that will remain the case unless or until he wins this appeal. This aside. No sane person thinks football players are true role models for living life. From the earliest who attained "superstar status" we've had Best through Gascoigne right up to the aforementioned Suarez with many in between. Freck. There was even a guy jailed for homicide allowed back onto the professional field of play.
    There is no excuse for not taking no for an answer. Whether it be from a young lass to someone saying can you drive after all that alcohol. Surely the law states that you are allowed to get on with your chosen path after serving your time? I accept there are certain professions where it is totally unrealistic and unacceptable for a person convicted of certain acts due to there involvement with certain sectors but, footballers?
