Huge game for us this weekend. And it's not that daft challenge cup nonsense.

Dumbarton v Ayr.

Ayr win and we are finished. Ideally we want a Dumbarton win. They're gone already, 14 points or 11 points doesn't matter. If Ayr go 10 points clear of us today though...

On the other hand if Ayr lose and we beat them next week the gap is 4.

Don't see the problem. It's been offset by the £50,000 overpaid to David Clarkson.

Good call to put Clarkson up front.
He's a quality striker and has just been unlucky so far.
He nearly hit the post earlier in the season.
I can see this working out.

He was out in Paisley last night. [emoji848]

Don't listen to that... reliable source of late turn wind up merchant.

Surprised it's taken this long for some of our fans to realise Mallan isn't very good, ball control and short range passing is absolutely terrible, will be lucky to get a game now that Cammy Smith and Steven McGinn are here.
Phone Barnsley and see if that offer is still on the table, sell sell sell.

Don't understand why we changed from 4-5-1 to 4-4-2. Lost the midfield by doing that.

Ideally I'd like to see a midfield of Morgan, McGinn, Storie, Macgennis, Smith.

Whatever is on the table for Mallan take it.

Play some proper f'king full backs. Hopefully McKenzie's injury isn't too bad.

Doubt there's any chance of that as needs to be heavily moderated as club responsible for content on it I believe.

You must have missed the left back we signed last week then.

They haven't.
Unless you live in fantasy land.

The humble pie shop is now open.

Best of luck to the lad, been great to watch this season. 

Turns out the player is actually only under contract until Jan 2018 so would have been free to sign a pre-contract this summer when his deal ran out.

He was given a 3 year deal on his 16th birthday (Jan 2015) which is the maximum allowed under SFA rules.

Saints actually gave him a deal until June 2018 originally but the SFA made them change it which is why there was some doubt about how long he had to go.

Club wanted Kyle to sign a new deal but he and his agent didn't want to do that. Player wants to go.

Headline on deal is around £20OK up front but lots of add-ons could double that plus a sell on %

Other clubs interested so still time for a counter bid.

Main blow for me is Derby refusing to lend him back to us till the end of this season.

Two very decent signings in the pipeline that should go through in time for the weekend but it's definitely a bit of a blow.

If you don't f'king blink.

Any fans who can't make it.

We will be relegated, there's no doubt about that. 3-4 players won't be enough to save us.

The decision to bring on Clarkson was absolutely baffling. Has JR not been watching what happens when he comes on?

A few people had a go at me when I got torn into Clarkson today. He was stood getting torn into McAlister for something he had done. The lad is what 17? and has done more than Clarkson has done all season.

I can take getting beat but there was no fight from the team today something we've seen too often this season.

I witnessed Clarkson having a go at McAllister for a good few minutes and I took a few pelters from some of the support for having a go at Clarkson. I was fuming at what I was witnessing. A senior pro should be encouraging and giving constructive criticism to young players, not bollocking them like that. Maybe people didn't notice what was happening which is why a few people were unhappy at my rant, but no wonder our heads go down when our young players are treated like that by senior pros.

If Clarkson was performing anywhere near acceptable then I would have been a bit more lenient, but tearing into a 17 year old lad who has done more in a few games than Clarkson has done all season let my emotions get the better of me.

I fully accept that Stu does absolutely not thing to endear himself to St Mirren fans (quite the opposite) and accept that he does his best to rub them up the wrong way, but there's no escaping that he raises some valid points in the middle of his waffle.

It is disappointing that SMFC fans are constantly unable to identify the valid points and attack the poster himself in a "whataboutery" manner rather than actually deal with them for the benefit of the club.

Those who instantly dismiss his points are at least as equally as bad as the poster himself, if not worse.

If fans in positions of authority can't identify valid queries fan ownership is never going to succeed, where the person raising the query is a dik or not.

What is his problem with Kyle Mcallister, always seems to be on his back and is constantly having a go at him.
