  1. Brian. For the past 5 years the board have tried their damnest to sell to the right people without success. It's quite possible they no longer think there is a perfect candidate and they simply can't wait any longer. To this and they have increased their shareholdings to make it more attractive to any would be suitor and are trying to ensure as much as practical they get reasonable people whose business plan doesn't include destroying the club medium term. This is probably as much as we can hope for after all the trials and tribulations the Board have overseen. They may want what's best for Saint Mirren but at the same time realise they themselves could drag the club down inadvertently by holding out for the perfect people.
  2. Not a fair comparison By all accounts that was more to do with Celtic's profligacy in front of goal.
  3. Can't let that one go. A lot of folk, and I include myself in this, were very pleased with a lot of performances and our complaint was more about results and certain individuals not being up to scratch. Latterly I would agree the fair on show was totally unacceptable though. I firmly believe that having Longwell involved in the first team is a shrewd move as he knows where the youngsters are in relation to their football development and, more importantly, their mind-set. He has also been working on the side-lines, albeit with the youth squad, so is used to overseeing things from the touchline and tweaking things during a game. I suppose it depends what you want from this season whether we change things again. I don't believe GT and DL will save our season.There's no guarantee a more experienced appointment would either. I do believe they have a fresh approach and are happy to play the youngsters rather than feeling forced to play them. This in itself must have a positive impact on the kids stepping over the white line.
  4. I think McLear should be added to the growing list as well.
  5. To be fair to Sky. They've shown the goal about five times already that I've seen and they are definitely commenting on it with extreme enthusiasm. So much so the lads stock must have risen already to the six figures.
  6. Don't worry sonny. He's not the pedant messiah. He's just a haughty boy!
  7. He is probably trying to reach the land of make believe.
  8. . If it went t!ts up they wouldn't have a leg to stand on
  9. I've just had my first "talk to the giant bathroom phone"!
  10. Qué dinero sangriento? Lo creeré cuando lo vea!
  11. As the song goes, Things can only get better. OR, even better, So here it is Merry Christmas. OR It'll be lonely this Christmas, (without all your doe) http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/dave-kings-dream-owning-rangers-4875145 You can almost smell the burning bridges!
  12. Note to BinEK Two hands and not one bare arm, or anything else, in sight!
  13. Those who can... do...... but sadly Those who can't.... critique..... badly!
  14. "The reflex" more like.. First line certainly suits: "You've gone too far this time"
  15. My grandson was delighted to get the away top as one of his presents. I'll qualify this by saying he has around a dozen different tops from Germany to Liverpool and is mad for saints. He got his Saint Mirren juniors training gear on Monday and had to parade the kit and pose for pics. Move over Thommo. There's a new kid in town.
  16. Life is very precious. So indeed are friends. So if you've offended anyone, It's time to make amends! It's easy to be nasty, It's harder to be nice. So if you type insults today, A smilie won't suffice Forget that last wee verse I wrote, For you know me from way back. I'm the epitome of the proverbial pot, That called the kettle black! A merry Christmas to everybody. May you all have a fantastic Christmas and get what you want ten minutes before you need it. UNLESS YOU AN O.F. interloper in which case, Off Fock. (The right note, not necessarily in the right order!)
  17. In the bleak midwinter, blue noses gave some flack, To spivs who did ignore them,like water off their back Gers had fallen, Sevco too, they bleated from a tent That they were in trouble, all their money spent. When an AGM is held, from the clubs away end, The Newco’s board are heckled, they cannot buy a friend. In the bleak midwinter a gazebo had sufficed They fans all said in unison, Jesus Christ. Blue noses and the shareholders may have gathered there, Sweary words and curses thronged the air; but everyone outwith there, in their total bliss, Know they won’t be missed. What can we give them, poor as they are? If I were a blue nose, bring a begging jar; if I were a lawyer, I would bring a writ, Because deep down I know that they are in the SH!T MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE! (WELL....ALMOST EVERYONE)
  18. Not the ideal situation I grant you but, IF run properly, the owners would invest in the structiure of the club with a view to contued attraction from potential "gems" while making the club successful enough to parade the talent in the top league of the country. Nothing certain in this world but we, at the moment, are on a definite downward spiral, so even slight improvement would be a positive step.
