In the last thirty years did you ever think you'd see two Saints players competing, for any international team, against the world champions at the same time. Our era, growing up 70's and early 80's was special but this isn't too far behind!!

Jimmy H, I've a pal who is on Committee at one of the clubs that could have benefited had Cowdenbeath not been awarded the place.....his take on it was that it has to do with Licensing and Ground requirements which the other clubs don't yet have. I've no idea whether this is correct or not but those were his thoughts.

Just awesome….if they hold on it’s more than well deserved

Amazing to see Modric strolling through a game against Holland at 37 years old…..: co-commentator would give you a migraine!!

Which was really my point in the first instance…..now go and relax before enjoying the game

Well I certainly wasn’t, I was driving to Aberdeen…..I’m certainly no defender of FS and as previously mentioned I have called him out when bitch-fearing with BiEK

It's just one more bit of crap this site, in my opinion, doesn't really need. The fact that you're actually encouraging it says more about you than anything I could possibly say. Debate is healthy but this petty minded rubbish is beyond puerile. For balance I've previously pointed this out to FS too when he and BiEK were indulging in some of their bitch-fests.

Pleas don't start this shite again Ricky, it's beyond boring..........a positive comment made about the game and the season yet you can't help yourself but make a dull jibe.

But the reality is that they weren't in charge of that decision so at best it's irrelevant and at worst it's whataboutery

You're brighter than that old boy, they haven't accepted anything, it is a determination by someone else.......they are campaigning/striving to change that so that Scotland isn't treated as "regional". I have no real thoughts either way on Independence but at least keep things honest.

I've seen them a few times, they're really good live

To be fair to JN he probably wouldn’t have said that twelve months ago so from his perspective things have improved.

Only if you miss out reading the bits that don't suit your agenda (which people on all sides are capable of).

TBF, there are also those who look through "Kibble good" glasses. My opinion is that a healthy scepticism is usually the best stance, no matter what you are talking about. I can only think of one of them 🙊

There have been divisions ever since Gordon Scott took the quick buck and sold his shares to Kibble, I wasn't in favour of it at the time but the majority voted for it and that's democracy. Since that date there has been a "group" (some not even SMiSA members) who have seen everything through "Kibble Bad" glasses and have stoked every possible fire since then so let's, at least, not pretend this is a new thing. People have been threatening to cancel subscriptions over a multitude of things (a wee bit toys out the pram stuff at times) but in general numbers have sustained at healthy levels. I think this has been dealt with clumsily at all levels and by all parties, worse of all it is now being played out through National Media which will be to no-one's benefit. You're correct that this was not a mistake made by SMiSA (members) but there were/are SMiSA representatives on the Club Board who are meant to look after both the Club's and SMiSA's best interests, we either trust them to do that or not. Currently, at least, the SMiSA Club Board reps appear to be supportive of the club's stance but the amount of "nod, wink, hearsay, innuendo etc" helps absolutely no-one. If the worst that comes from this is that there are new protocols/procedures put in place to ensure this kind of thing doesn't re-occur then at least that's some sort of progress......unfortunately that won't be enough for the usual suspects.

You'll notice this is a common trait of his!!

I guess the answer is that now there are “voting blocks” that carry percentage (ie SMiSA’s 51%) and don’t really require the “show of hands” as before

So maybe, just maybe, the last great club that fell on it's arse was just a few miles up the road who's fans never asked enough questions.....other than being a SMiSA member and having a few original shares, pre-SMiSA, I have no real skin in the game but, f**k me, to not at least ask questions is bat-shit crazy. I love the fact that we are top six and maybe heading for Europe (I've done all that before right enough) but would swap all of that for survival, we nearly lost all of that before. I'm not for a second suggesting that that's where we are but to not ask questions, especially when we are apparently fan owned, is beyond due diligence. I don't know AW personally but I've been around the club for a long time and don't believe he'd do anything deliberately to harm St Mirren. The "nothing to see here" argument falls on it's fat arse every time and everything, in good business, is challenged every time....it's why it works. Let it play out and hopefully the truth will out.

C'mon BoK, you know relying on Baz as your "in the know guy" is never going to end well ...... you've argued with him aplenty ovet the years 😉

Apparently he's on his way to East Kilbride with Si Ferry as his assistant.

FFS…..they brought on Hagi, Raskin and Arfield, we had no one near that quality on our bench. The work rate was always going to see a dip in tempo towards the end. We don’t have anywhere near the quality they have to bring on at 75 minutes and that’s the big difference.

That’s a pretty niche put down Bud 😂😂

To be fair I was just hoping to tempt you out to give us all the inside track……..ya throbber!!

Not so surprising if his wife and kids are still living just outside Sunderland which they were when he was in Dundee I think.

Did it sound like a "positive offer" or a "protect the development fee offer"?
