Sir Tommy Craig MBE was 64 yesterday Happy Birthday old man time to retire.
As I posted on another thread:
Happy Birthdat tommy!!!!!
A song for Bye.......... Bye! (We can but hope)
When I get older, losing those games,
every single week.
Will you still be singing songs and making noise?
After games with Accies, Thistle and bhoys.
And If the saints are still suffering defeat,
Will the board show me the door,
Will they still keep me when we're getting beat see,
And I've reached that 64!
Hopefully not TC

Fixed it for you.

You paid a booking fee , it is just another way of making money out of you , another revenue stream (the British Government also , are good at inventing these , streams) . Anyway , if you hadn't turned up , you might well have been looking at postal charges of say £2.50 per ticket . .
Is the booking fee not the handling companies charge which probably needs to be highlighted seperately?
This is also probably why it's "per ticket" as, if it weren't, touters could buy 1,000's and sell them on with their own surcharge circumventing the proper intermediaries.

Bus for Hamilton on Saturday leaves Cafe Borgia at 1.45pm. Non members welcome . Bus tickets on sale in the pub Priced £6.
Good luck with that mate.
Honestly. I do hope you cover your costs.
Going by the gemneral consensus on here this might be the first time Hamilton fans will outnumber Saints overwhelmingly.

I've run for a bus on many occasions getting to a home game.
Probably a tandem will do now.... If you don't mind empty seats!
Well that's one then.
Anymore for anymore?

I really want us to turn it round but for whatever reason you just get the feeling that it's just not there with our current squad. We need to get back to being hard to beat and build it from there. Its easy to blame Craig (and I'm not a fan) but there are also senior pros at the club who know the game and I'd hope would be having a say on where we are going wrong. Lets face it its not in Teale or Goodwin's interest for us to be performing so badly.
We will NEVER be hard to beat with the CH's we have at our
clubcircus. At the game v Motherwell it will be complete as we'll have a tent to go with the clowns! -
They'll be here in January.
Dinnae panic Jakey.
Gawd forbid.
That would mean TC would still be there!

Is the purpose of putting a marquee up to guage the potential income stream of St Mirren fans drinking?
Doesn't anyone realise the supporters buses all run from pubs....? Bit of a clue there... jeez get the feckin void fitted out and generate some money before the tent gets blown down again.
And how many supporters buses run for home games?

"Focul"? I'd go more with damp squib.
This 'nation fast warming to an even more right wing' etc....?
If you mean UKIP, they are as irrelevant to the mainstream 'UK ideal' as the SNP was recently.
There will always be protest votes and the equivalents of the MonsterRavingLoony party, but when it comes to genuine, lasting, effective political movements, the British electorate will not frighten the horses.
Nothing will happen.
There may be the (very) odd MP elected. That is all.
I mean even the mainstream Conservative (Tory) party is having to shuffle ever rightward in an attempt to steal the Farage frock.

Hmm... i love the way the referendum was NOT about him... and yet it was... so the personal opinion of the driving force behind the whole independence movement suddenly now doesn't matter.... except that every other opinion of his has been quoted ad nauseum this last week or two.
Selective?
Christ no... that's the domain of the bad BBC that caused the defeat in the referendum. We all accept that now.
I really expected better of you Brian.
He WAS a focul point for the campaign. That was partly a media decision.
He WASN'T the campaign.
There were many individuals campaigning for independence and not all of them were SNP members.
Salmond is entitled to his opinion. It certainly could not be party policy as it would be totally contrary to the basis of the SNP. Their manifesto has always been based on creating an independant nation.
The referendum was against that but it doesn't mean the idea dies. It just means the pro independant movement needs to convince more of the nation that it's in it's interest to seperate from what isa nation fast warming to an even more right wing and isolationist ideal.
And they have a cheek to criticise the seperatists notion.

There is a thread on P&B where posters are asked to name their best players this season (Thommo is ours by the way).
Contenders or outright winners gives the following:
Ross County - Graeme Carey as outright winner
Dundee - Paul McGinn, Gary Harkins, Paul McGowan are all either winners in some fans' eyes or get honourable mention by most.
Hamilton Accies - Dougie Imrie is implied as being part of the pool.
Notice a connection? These guys are doing great are their new clubs yet, we not only let them all go, we paid for some to leave! (I am aware McGinn left of his own accord but his reason was he did not see a chance of first team football).
So why do we throw talent out the door to replace them with guys not fit enough to tie the laces of the above? Although not world beaters I would take all of the above back in a second considering what we replaced them with. I know there are no guarantees in football signings but all these guys were snapped up as soon as we let them go so someone else thought they were decent enough (and proved to be right!).
But can Danny and Craig just not see talent ? Or do they not have a scoobie how to use it? Or shocking man management? Or is there another reason?
Whatever the reason it is quite demoralising to see so many cast-offs doing so well in their new teams at our expense.
It says it all really when the person considered our best player hasn't even been fit enough to be on the bench for almost all of our season.

I wonder if Coisty will be blaming the missing international players for this one!

Didn't notice this thread until now but, perhaps in answer to the OP's question, we already had the best Saints song. No need for imposters.

Arrests made in connection with takeover............
Yes.
And the BBC have altered history in their account of the demise of Rangers.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-30053692
"Rangers entered administration on 14 February 2012, while under Mr Whyte's control, over non-payment of tax totalling about £14m.
HRMC subsequently rejected a creditors agreement to allow Rangers to exit administration.
This resulted in Charles Green's consortium taking control and Rangers being accepted to play in the Scottish third division."
Turns out they never were liquidated. Silly us.
A Bobby Ewan in the shower moment?

You know that for def.
They are contracted to Saints so,...def-in-ately.

P is for Passionate plea
Pensive at first, when the news came to light ,
That Tommy was promoted, to continue the fight.
Positive signings of forwards all seemed so good,
We had signed Ball and Caldwell, Drury, Marwood.
Promising moves it appeared, on paper did feel,
Defensive cover was paramount, to finish the deal.
Perturbed by inactivity, petrified of the sense,
That Cheesey would be our last line of defence.
Pre-season began quickly, and it all became plain,
That the club was ensuring, the easiest of games.
Playing a game v ‘Well, we lost though did it with pride.
Passionate Saints’ fans, cheering them on from the side..
Pouting, peeving and perplexed, disquiet is breeding
Fans panicking, possessed, pissed off and pleading.
So that passionate plea that I mentioned atop.
Is that if the board want Panda and co's tears to stop
To all who have power let us all just say PLEASE.
Let Tommy pack it in and permit his release! -
Desist and stop!
I accept my missing omission was flawedly erroneous....
Had you noted that my few words were not wholly complimentary?
Why. What is it that you didn't not write?

You got three points what more do you want.
Aye. But so do everyone else.
I think he wanted a wee bit extra from the norm.
-
whats the options,,,,,,,bring back gus,,,,,,,bring back danny,,,,,,,,,FFS at this moment in time i would even bring back coughlin,,,,,,,,,,
The pseudonym certainly suits.
That would be a great cast for the Saints' pantomime.

Yes, and the change either made it worse (Hibs) or made no difference at all in every occasion.
To compare, if you take the team who avoided relegation by one spot since we have been promoted only two of them changed manager during that season, Hibs and Kilmarnock. A small fraction compared to the teams who were relegated. On both of those occasions 11th and 12th were occupied by teams who had changed manager.
The evidence clearly suggests that changing your manager during the season increases your chance of relegation.
How can anyone prove anything like that? Unless you've inherited a tardus you cannot know what WOULD have happened to those teams if no change were made.
Evidence? Nonmsense more like!

Naw , nothing wrong with my eyesight. I see players now playing for us that lack basic professional skills. Mehmet isn't Messi but this is a thread about Mehmet and whether he would improve the team. Damn right he would be better than several now that we are stuck with that show no sign of improvement.
That's where we need to agree to differ then.
I DON'T think Mehmet would do any better than Caldwell, or even Marwood, if all were given the chance of a decent run in the team.
Our problems lie much deeper than that. If Ball wasn't forced tpo go wide to chase the game there is a chance, just a chance, that his confidence would rise and he would score the goals we need.
Mehmet running around like a heedless chicken wouldn't score goals.... Like I say,.... In my opinion.

We can only hope it's a mass of one or two at most. This board have proven quite clearly that a shout of protestation falls on deaf ears. I don't usually hold with boycotts but only money seems to talk to them and withholding it for this game by not attending might hurt some of us who want to support the players on the park but, if successful, it would surely show them that not changing things might be more financially damaging than doing so.
