Whilst the average wage in Scotland might be £31k, how many hours a week is required to earn that.. 35-40 generally.

How many hours do the players work? Probably about half of that. So if you drill down into earnings per hour, there would be a significant difference.

But it’s also a shorter career, less stability etc. Swings and roundabouts.

I was Yes in 2014, and I’ve never moved from that position. I have no particular affliction to any particular party and in an independent Scotland would vote for the party with a manifesto I agreed with the most. I would hope with independence we would see an emerging of a number of new parties.

For me the recent General Elections and EU Referendum just demonstrates how far apart the political landscape is in Scotland compared to England.

I am expecting my first child next year with my Polish girlfriend, so remaining in the EU is more of a driver for me than before - although pleased to say she had settlement status granted recently.

The FPTP system is outdated and needs changed. The system for Scottish elections means it is extremely difficult to get a majority meaning all parties need to work together, and this also appeals to me.

The key element for me however, is I don’t want a WM government we don’t vote for making decisions that impact Scotland. In an independent Scotland, if the government is not performing we can hold them account at the next election. With so much power held at WM, we have no say at the minute, and I find it bonkers. I just want decisions for Scotland made by a Scottish government voted by those who live in Scotland.

Led to believe Magennis has just signed an extension.
 
Had offers from Everton, QPR and Southampton but opted for first team football.
 
Some lad.

What do they have for breakfast at the Euthanasia Clinic?
Cheerios.

Ideally we can get him to agree a new contract extension, with a transfer release clause, even giving him a 10/15% cut of the transfer fee. Everyone wins.

Sadly, that is what it is looking like at the moment. I'd be very interested to know what, if any, support they get from St Mirren FC - of which the women's team is a part, not a separate entity. The club should be providing them with kit as the bare minimum, SMiSA should not need to be funding this. Surely that could be part of the kit deal? It certainly used to be for the youth academy (don't know if it is since we left JD Sports).
I see most of the women's games are at Ferguslie - why are they not allowed to play at Ralston? Are they allowed to train there? If not, why not?  We have a nice 3G pitch that SMiSA paid for they could surely be allowed on
The women's team seems to be run on as little funding as possible. They have held crowdfunding campaigns just to get basic kit to get them up and running. They held a fundraising evening in a bar in Paisley - surely they could have been allowed to use the ground?
It doesn't look particularly good to the outside world that the women's first team are having to ask for money for kit while the men's youth team is so well funded that the most pressing thing on their list is money for a trip to England.

College Bar now going to be Saporito High Street Bar & Restaurant with the restaurant in St James' to be used as a functions suite.

Be careful, Tony can do no wrong, according to some who get mixed up with a decent football player and a CEO. 

If you think it's bad here you should go on the various St Mirren Facebook pages. Yesterday they were going into meltdown because someone had to pay a fiver to get a new smartcard. I fully expect today's shenanigans will have sent some of them over the edge.

RIP Fiona - thoughts with friends and family.

Totally agree. Perhaps if he spent more time improving how the club functions eg ticketing system he might fulfil the role of a proper CEO. 
Being a CEO requires a lot of skills very few of which he appears to have. Frankly I'm fed up with him. I know he loves the club. So do I but I would be a crap CEO. 

I want to support Oran and give him a chance to turn it around but his team selection/tactics are just baffling.

The High Street is dead and it is not coming back in its current form.
Pension firms can invest elsewhere at the drop of a hat and quite frankly anyone investing in retail right now needs their financial credentials checked.
Everything is moving online because virtually everyone wants that.
The future for town centres is low cost accomodation for young people with supporting entertainment facilities.
Just needs the right combination of people with enough money and vision to make it happen. Everywhere else is going to be left behind.

Bungalow as well now...

If we ever got a Synthetic pitch, I wouldn't be back. Hate watching games on these kind of pitches.

If they were involved in Stubbs player recruitment then thank f'ck for their resignation.
 

It’s a vanity project. 
The W7 guys are standing anyway and a bit of common sense management is seeing the club, stewards and police turn a blind eye. 
Why anyone would want to spend money on something like that is beyond me. We’re a small club and funds should either be invested in the product on the park or in another way that will see a profit return on an investment. 
The W7 guys aren’t going to stop going to games if we don’t put in safe standing. 
It’s money down the drain if we do it. 
Unfortunately, as you’ve highlighted, our chairman may well buy into this vanity project to replicate our Glasgow neighbours and chase a bit of PR. 
I certainly don’t think it’s where our priorities should be. 
 

Any windfall does not need to be spent now.
A small percentage can be used for sensible wages for 2 players and the majority put away for a very rainy day.

I’d need to see it again but at the time Cole was a lot closer to the ball and the Dundee forward started a good couple of yards behind him. Given the pace of the Dundee forward and the distance Samson would have to have covered, it’s Kpekawa for me.

You are really plumbing the depths with this bud.
He has made a couple of posts related to cancer charities and his profile shows him winning and holding the Scottish Cup.
