Nigel Hasselhoff got a reaction from paisleysaint in Morton Promoted
I was 7 the last time we actually played them in the league. We are shocking but they are truly pathetic and nothing more than a yoyo team between league 1 and the championship.
Still looking forward to a change of scenery though.

What would be fun would be achieving what St Johnstone have achieved. Taking the piss out of shite like us on the way to their 4th successive top 6 finish, a national trophy and European football along the way.
Now that would be fun.

Nigel Hasselhoff got a reaction from Dibbles old paperboy in St Johnstone V St Mirren Premiership 21/3/15
I honestly think we'd be better playing 3-5-2 for the remainder of the season to try and keep goals out and bring the best out of a few players.
Naismith and Kelly/Tess as wing backs, both not great defensively but genuinely believe Naismith especially is a threat going forward..
Goodwin in between Tesselaar/McAusland and Genev
Mallan Mcginn and Gow in the middle
Dayton and Thompson/Arquin up top
It's never gonna happen but that's my take on things, as if that matters.
Copy and pasted from the other thread idiot that I am.

The Championship is ok if you're winning games and challenging near the top.
However there is no guarantee that we'd be doing that and the seasons when we struggled at that level in the late 90's (and even a couple in the early noughties) were the most depressing ever in my view.
From a financial perspective it would be damaging for the club and we could remain in the lower league(s) for some considerable time.
I'll take staying up thank you very much.

Struggling in the championship would be even more depressing. I would rather we remain in the top league and get an experienced manager who clears out the deadwood and has us scoring goals again, it is tragic that we are not competing with the likes of Hamilton, ICT, Kilmarnock and Partick

Nigel Hasselhoff reacted to Lizard King in Kilmarnock V St Mirren. Premiership. 14/3/15
Good post.
At the end of the day our BOD made a colossal mistake in appointing Tommy Craig and I think they have made almost as big a mistake by taking the risk of appointing Gary Teale until the end of the season (just to save a few £££). Once Craig got the bullet everyone (except our clueless BOD) could see we needed a tried and tested manager to pull us clear of danger, not a player/very inexperienced coach with no track record. I've nothing against Teale (he's been a good servant for us) but for me, he's failing as St Mirren manager and I don't see any significant signs of improvement despite him being able to bring in his own signings.
I'm not a pessimist normally but can't see us staying up - we ARE the poorest team in the league and - so far - don't deserve to stay up.
It sucks, it really does. Thousands of us turn up week in week out, part with our hard earned cash and support the team, but our BOD couldn't give a f**k. We are being short changed and the whole club is on a downward spiral.
Don't know what else to say.

It does not look good.
Division on here between optimists and pessimists and which of them has the moral high ground.
The reality is that most of us (especially the BoD) have been kidding ourselves on for most of the season that we are good enough to stay up.
I watched the excellent Tony Fitzpatrick YouTube video earlier today (strongly recommended) which makes our present plight hard to stomach. We have a very proud history and tradition as one of the founder members of the Scottish league. The Ferguson/MacFarlane/Clunie era was one when we aspired to greater things than mere survival in a very ordinary league. During that golden period we actually recorded 7 out of 8 points (when it was just 2 points for a victory) against Celtic in one season.
What saddens me most on this forum is that, whilst accepting that we have no divine right to be in the top tier of Scottish football, a lot of Saints fans have adopted the limited ambition adopted by the Board and are resigned to a mere survival mentality. Unfortunately even that now seems beyond us.
We urgently need some positive and creative forward planning to recover from the mess we are in now.

Nigel Hasselhoff reacted to Wrong Planet in We Are Unfortunately A Joke Club
I wouldn't go as far as to agree with the thread title, though for what it's worth I do feel more disenfranchised with the club than ever before.
I was firmly in the camp who confessed to being mystified by the appointment of Tommy Craig, and as stated at the time my main concern was the Chairman telling us that he had the right man for the job. This despite not advertising or interviewing for the position. SG maintained this support, at least publicly, even when TC's position had gone beyond untenable.
We had a good debate on here when TC signed Ball, Marwood and Caldwell where a cursory glance at their goal scoring histories screamed to most of us that they would not be a success simply by pulling on a black and white shirt. Unfortunately we got that spectacularly correct.
We have pretty much all been asking for a decent centre half for what seems like ever. How's that going?
Many of us last summer were vocal in needing to replace 36 year old Thommo rather than simply applying blind faith that he would somehow keep going forever. We backed this up with his goals to games stats which had become awful. Thommo's season is going from bad to worse yet we even had some fans supporting the idea he could be accommodated in defense once he hangs up his striking boots. The window saw us bring in Arquin, a guy who scored 2 goals for Ross County in 19 outings. He didn't even score against us when we played them FFS.
Our best player was sold for sweeties. We can debate why all we like, the fact that it happened is an absolute disgrace. £300K, that's farcical.
I was very much for a new manager being brought in when TC was bagged as I considered that we needed someone impartial and experienced to guide us through the tail end of the season. After weeks of silence from the BOD we got Gary Teale installed until May. I don't blame Gary one bit for taking the job, but this is a guy who started coaching last summer, and who had zero management experience. It's hard to accept that as a responsible decision by a BOD.
It's often the little things that tip the balance though. On Saturday at half time everyone I spoke to was of the opinion that the two up front were not working and that Thommo needed the hook - I totally agreed. Instead Arquin busied himself filling the bath and out runs Thommo. Did anyone think that was the right decision by the manager?
Now more than ever we need some steel and grit from Teale, friendships and allegiances need to be set aside. I'd say the same applies to sections of our support who can't let go of the past. Time to call a spade a spade, from all concerned.
Apologies, rant over.

Sorry, but that doesn't make the treatment of Lennon, the appointment of Craig, the mess of the club sale, the sale of McLean or our current form okay.

Nigel Hasselhoff got a reaction from BAWZ in Kenny Mclean
Our best player for 300k. What a contrast to the likes of Utd, Hamilton and even Falkirk we really are. He's been sold to a direct rival for about a third of his current valuation. Gutted about it but life goes on.
Good luck Kenny.
