Buying shares in St Mirren is a private transaction between Kibble and the seller of the shares. It’s not an investment in the football club at all. 😂🤡
 

Baccus was outstanding in the centre of midfield. 
 
Sad to see Ethan go, we’re losing strength in depth. However, I think Baccus is better than Ethan in the centre and I think Kiltie brings more creativity to the side. 
 
 

So if the game is on TV it will be used - does that mean we have to pay half?

If it's not on TV and Celtic want it and we don't, then they get it but have to pay for it all themselves.

If it's not on TV and we want it but Celtic don't, then we don't get it, even if we are willing to pay for it.

If it's not on TV and both teams want it then they get it and split the cost evenly.

It would be better just saying we don't, even if we do (as it seems to not matter one iota whether we do or not), and let them pay for it all.

I was wondering who decides if we use VAR - if it’s a joint decision of both teams should we agree to use it ?

Agree but I was more referring to the way the kids pronounce it now - to rhyme with Jennifer - growing up in Glenburn I always referred to the Gleniffer braes with a quick first syllable (almost like Glyn) not the long syllable like in Jenn-ifer - hard to explain without hearing it.

Cheers - that grinds my gears too how folk pronounce it like Jennifer - I blame it on the interlouper teachers at the new Camphill who infected all the weans with the wrong way to say it…..Glen - iffer … easy.

I blame them for ALL my spelling mistakes.

I was close to tears, that has just blew me away, but he's done that plenty of times over the years. 
Imagine going back to pre Murray, dare to dream a Scottish tennis player could hold his own and along comes Murray to be world No 1, a career threatening hip problem and to come back and win his last 2 matches in 5 sets.
I'm buying an Andy Murray blow up doll. 

FFS, 1 "n", 2 "f"s.

Win or lose an absolutely superb effort by Scotland's greatest ever sportsman

Be very sad to see him go one of my favourite players at the club.

Did you possibly mistype a Google search for "tin alloy"?

FANTASTIC FROM ST MIRREN.INFO ON FACEBOOK
 
With our first home match since the untimely passing of club legend Frank McGarvey, I will assume that we are going to take time to remember him and his decade of service to the club over his two spells.
I was fortunate enough to see him play during both of his spells with Saints. In fact, he scored in the very first Saints match I attended, along with Jimmy Bone, in a 2-1 victory over Aberdeen in October 1978.
Browsing through my collection of trading cards I have scanned the ones that feature Frank from the early days of the 1970's up to his assistant manager spell in the late 1980s. 
In 2013/14, many years after he had retired, Topps included Frank in their Match Attax collection under a heading which summed up his standing in the memories of Saints fans...... LEGEND!
The following is an article I wrote for the Saints programme a few years back....
FRANK McGARVEY
1976-77 First Division winner
1987 Scottish Cup winner
St Mirren’s greatest post war scorer!
McGarvey arrived at Love Street in December 1974, but was loaned back to Kilsyth Rangers for the season.
He joined Kilsyth from Colston YC in July 1974, establishing himself as a prolific scorer, scoring 15 times. That form prompted Saints manager Alex Ferguson to hand him his debut as sub against East Stirlingshire on 26th April 1975. It wasn’t a happy start as Saints lost 5-0!
Two days later, he was back in the Kilsyth team, scoring in a 2-1 victory over Blantyre Celtic.
He returned to Saints team for a friendly against KR Reykjavik in August 1975. He wasted no time showing fans what he could do, scoring four in a 5-3 win.
Following this impressive display, he became a regular during 1975-76.
His first competitive goal came in a League Cup win over East Fife on the 9th August. He went on to score 11 times from 40 appearances.
1976-77. The season Fergies Furies came of age. None more so than Frank. He scored seventeen league goals as Saints marched to the First Division title and promotion to the Premier League.
Frank was the star as the title was clinched at Dens Park on the 19th April, claiming his first senior hat-trick in a 4-0 rout of Dundee.
This form was not unnoticed and on 29th April Frank won a Scotland U-21 cap against England. He added a second against Czechoslovakia in September, as his form continued in the top league.
He again scored 17 league goals with 6 in cup competition to remain top scorer.
He gained further honours when he played for the Scottish League against the Italian League on April 26th 1978.
1978-79 was another good year as he continued to score goals. Not quite managing the 17 of the previous two seasons, but 13 kept him top scorer.
Three of these goals came at Fir Park as Motherwell were defeated 3-0. For that match Frank borrowed a pair of boots from Alex Beckett. They didn’t seem to do him any harm!
This form attracted the attention of English clubs and it was no surprise when Liverpool paid £300,000 to take him south in May 1979.
After 10 months in the Anfield reserves, Frank returned to Scotland for a five-year spell at Celtic, culminating in scoring the winner in the 1985 Scottish Cup final. 
Surprisingly, immediately after this game he was told he had no future at Parkhead and was on his way back to Paisley for £80,000.
He was soon back in scoring form, netting in his second match. He ended the season with 12, including a double in a UEFA Cup victory over Slavia Prague. His second goal was a cheeky back heel flick which sealed a 3-1 aggregate win.
He put Saints on the road to victory in the 2nd leg of the 2nd round against Hammarby, before being subbed near the end of the match……the least said about what happened next, the better!
The 1987 Scottish Cup was, by his own admission, one of the highlights of his career.
Wins over Caledonian, Raith Rovers and Morton took Saints to Hampden for a semi-final against Hearts. With the score tied at 1-1, the ball broke to Frank inside the six-yard box and he managed to guide it under Henry Smith, and Saints were in the final.
16th May 1987. Ten years after helping Saints win the First Division; he played his part as the Scottish Cup returned to Paisley.
Saints failed to capitalise on the cup win and 1987-88 was disappointing for the club and for Frank. He managed just two goals from 34 matches.
In April 1988 manager Alex Smith resigned. Tony Fitzpatrick took over and Frank was named player/assistant manager.
He continued to play throughout the 88-89 season, but again struggled to find the scoring touch, finishing with three goals.
His final season at the club saw him concentrate more on the managerial role, making just four appearances during 1989-90. His final match was against Hibernian on the 16th September.
At the end of the season he joined Queen of the South as player/manager. 
And now that ‘Greatest post-war scorer’ claim!
Most records show Frank three goals behind Tommy Gemmell in the post war charts.
However, deeper inspection of these records indicate that they don’t include goals scored in the Spring Cup of 1976 or the 1978 Anglo Scottish Cup.
Adding these nine goals to his total, hoists Frank, not only above Gemmell, but into an elite group of just five men, who have scored over 100 goals for the club.
His record reads 102 goals from 341 matches.
RIP Frank
Thanks for the memories.
 

Seems some of us have reached the time of life when sweet memories become bittersweet.  Such a sad way to go.
I remember the pre-season of 75, maybe many Saints fans were thinking like me, is this guy worth all the interest and excitement coming back in the reports from Fergie's mad Carribean tour?  Didn't really need to worry, did I?  
The football of the next couple of years was what I lived for and Frank epitomised everything good about our amazing side.  A complete bag of tricks who mesmerised defenders. Up in the terraces, we all saw what he was up to but close up to defenders  he was often unplayable.  I didn't get angry about him going to Liverpool, it just upset me and the same was true when he moved back to Glasgow.  When he came back to Love St I instantly felt as if all the unfullfilled promises of his first term could be fufilled and that goal against Hearts is still in my mind.  
It's not enough to say thanks for his time as a Buddie, life was exciting and unpredictable for us fans then but always a joy because of Frank and his ilk.  Rest in peace, great man, and see if Pele is up for a game of best of 5.

Always one.
