    Personally I think if Ross is making those comments on a national forum the club is well within its rights to respond in kind, however, a more positive statement from the club on anything would be most welcome, perhaps they could update us on the initial benefits our new partners have brought to fruition??

    Can someone show me where we forfeit the game 3 nil or lose points. The game has been postponed thats all. I do not remember seeing a rule in the league set up advising the above and it cant just be changed in a heartbeat. This is totally different from the cup competition teams have lost the points for

    It's no coincidence that we always, always play better without him in the side. He should be gone 1st of January as it's painful to watch him in terms of position, contribution, passing range, passing choice. Even if he was poor at all of those but good at breaking up play, I'd get it but his tackling isn't up to par either.
    It's also a really sad story that is unfolding in front of us with Kyle McAllister. The lad broke into a truly awful side and looked like a bit of a shining star. Pacy, direct, very skilful and annoyed full backs and he get a deserved move south out of it.
    When he came back on loan, whilst he wasn't exactly consistent under Kearney but he chipped in with massive performances at vital times and for that, he was a player that was essential to keep.
    Since returning full time though, the decline in the lad has been painful to watch, especially as he's still very young indeed. I don't know if injuries have taken their toll or if it's the associated mental factors that come with those injuries that are at play but there is clearly just something not there. I watched him yesterday against the QotS full back, like we've done for almost 18 months now and when he picks the ball up, it's never in a good area, he always seems to be too deep, too high, too far away from the ball and so he constantly gives himself far too much to do. When he does have possession, he has it in his head that he can go past players but he never successfully does, I counted about half a dozen times yesterday that he ran straight into the full-back. 
    Rarely, if ever do you see him doing that usual winger trait of give and go. Pass inside and make the full back work off the ball, drag him out of position, even if you don't get the ball, you might open up a bit of space for someone else. That just doesn't happen. Whether he's been told not to do that or what I don't know. But something has just seemed 'off' with him for a long time and it's terrible to see as when we brought him back on a 3 year deal, I, like most fans were chuffed. Yeah we understood the injury issues and he'd have to be managed carefully but if he was available for 25 games a season, that would be brilliant compared to not having him. 
    Compare him to a guy in that same midfield position as him on the opposite team - Aidan Fitzpatrick. I said a few months ago when Thorvaldsson was coming that I was shocked if we were looking at a right mid that we didn't go for Fitzpatrick, also a Norwich player. The lad yesterday was fast, direct, LOVED running at our defence, constantly cutting inside and he got one goal from it and really should have had another in the 2nd half.  Nothing I saw of him yesterday changed my opinion that he'd have improved our squad and I was shocked when QotS got him.
    I'm at stage where I'm not even pissed off at Kyle anymore like I was last season, I'm just concerned that someone so clearly talented has lost it for whatever reason - you don't just become a bad footballer overnight.  I genuinely hope we see the best of Kyle in a Saints shirt but right now, that seems a million miles away.

    That statement is nothing short of embarrassing 😂; feels like they’re hanging Kyle out to dry, similar to the Kearney fiasco. Amateurs 🙈

    The most obvious problem wouldn't be about where people sit. I think that with just season ticket holders that could easily be done.
    The concern for the government and clubs will probably be people congregating in stairwells and squeezing past each other for toilets. I have a strong suspicion that they'll enforce masks as well to get 1m distancing.
    This is obviously going to be dragged out interminably but at least there are signs of movement I suppose.

    The "proof" is always going to be subjective.

    I saw him in almost every home game he played and a number of away games.

    I still say that on the strength of what I witnessed, he was one of the most talented keepers I've seen play for Saints.

    Best distribution by a mile.

    Reliable. Very few unforced errors.

    I wish him well at his new club.

    Your employer probably would be investigated and, as seems the case with Celtic, they were found to have done nothing wrong, I wouldn’t expect any action against them since they appear to have done everything reasonably expected of them.

    I would expect your employer, or Celtic in this case, to investigate and if they found the employee to have acted against instructions and to have brought the employer into disrepute to dismiss the employee on the grounds of misconduct.

    I would expect us to lose, so we should try and keep this rescheduled game to as late as possible so that, if the season is curtailed again before we play it, our points per game is higher.

    So let me just make sure I understand this (utterly ridiculous) notion.
    At 3pm this afternoon, absolutely no one can consider themselves a St. Mirren supporter. Is that correct?

    Isn't that the same for ANY away game? I take it you've never went to an away game? What a f**king ridiculous point to make. No one should ever go to or watch an away game on an opposing teams TV because you're not supporting your own team? Absolute nonsense or you're trolling.

    It’s pretty simple in all this I’ll be watching the game tomorrow on rangers tv as a st mirren FAN, when the grounds open back up I will be a SUPPORTER. When I go to away games I will also be a SUPPORTER. I don’t care who’s pockets getting lined, I pay for my entertainment and that is watching my team. 
     
    folk are warped with the lining the OF pockets patter honestly 😂
