  1. 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

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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!

  5. 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!

  6. 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?

  7. To partly answer the question about what the English consortium or the Argentinian consortium want with us - we are an ideal opportunity for any group wanting to take over a football club. No debt, new stadium, great training ground and in the top flight (for another few months anyway).

    The Argentinians are clearly looking for a club to promote their players in Europe and the above means we fit the bill. They may be good like the players Watford have got, they may be dross like the players Anelka brought to Livvy. If they're decent will we get any of the cash? Probably not - although on the flip side this may be used to pay off what they spent buying the club and we may not have to worry about that aspect of things. Unlikely mind you.

    Who knows what the English group wants - the players they have lined up to come in may be their clients and they're looking to put them in the shop window to get them decent clubs come the summer. Talk of guys with a wealth of experience sounds good on paper - but Tommy Craig had been at Newcastle for years. Likewise the Champions League players and Premiership players - Djemba-Djemba played at that level. Djimi Traore won the Champions League! No doubt you'd be talking about a guy with a handful of appearances in each (Luke Chadwick) or some ageing player looking for a final pay day. Doing that won't get them their money back - developing the youth academy might but that doesn't do us any good.

    Both groups need to be treated with a suitable amount of caution at this stage as details are incredibly sketchy. No one can declare one is better than the other at the moment - similarly no one can declare definitively either group will be a good or bad thing.

    The Herald says the English consortium hope to conclude a deal soon. The Star (and presumably the Express) say the Argentinian consortium hope to conclude a deal soon. Which is better?

    As far as the sellers are concerned a two fight is good no matter which wins. The current incumbents must be creaming themselves. They might get the figure they imagined.

  8. I can't see how the two are linked, I don't suppose Saints expected to get anything from the appeal other than delay in serving the ban

    Unlikely. I was led to believe that it costs a grand if the appeal fails. Not money Saints take a chance with unless tey think their player is in the right.
