  1. Get Jim to Google "ways to deal with an inferiority complex" Kilmarnock didn't think that way against Celtic on Sunday
  2. It might be good for us, it might not , but it's setting a bizarre precedent going forward. Are we expected to believe that no one at Celtic knew that a player had picked up his passport and left the country for 4 days? Most employers measure how long their employees have taken in the toilet ffs Imagine a St Mirren player had went to Spain after a bad result, blatantly disregarding the rules and risking the football season being cancelled. The SPFL would 100% have made an example of St Mirren. If the club had any balls they would have said that we are ready and willing to play tomorrow night - and challenged Celtic to fulfill the fixture, or forfeit the game. Because it's Celtic, we bend over - they get a slap on the wrist and the game is postponed. Does this mean that if a club want a game postponed, they send a player to Spain for a few days? Celtic now have a convenient break up until their Champions League qualifier, we end up with a fixture that will no doubt be part of a big backlog later in the season.
  3. Defo. As much as we hate to admit it, they have some elite level players. We don’t. It shows unless you get your tactics spot on (which Goodwin didn’t)
  4. Few points I noticed yesterday Rangers were very good, played the Liverpool style high press and we didn't know how to counter it Sheron was unconvincing Foley not his usual self McGrath was our best player Alnwick is impressive Hopefully learn from it and give a better account of ourselves against Celtic
  5. This lad might be worth a look, Sean Scannell, currently without a club Represented Ireland at various levels Released by Blackpool, previous clubs include Palace, Huddersfield and Bradford https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sean-scannell/profil/spieler/61549 Right winger who can also play left wing or up front
  6. Didn't see anything special in his time with us either - decent at holding the ball up but not exactly one for the future. Kane Hemmings might be a better option
  7. Mine stuttered a bit in the first half and the commentary was quiet, but second half was perfect. Maybe just a few teething issues!
  8. On the contrary, the demand for outdoor bars and restaurant with heated seating areas has never been higher
  9. Has done the club well over the years Tough financial climate so I understand the decision, hope Gus does well wherever he ends up
  10. It sounds far better as St Mirren Park
  11. https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/spfl-ready-to-use-hampden-to-get-more-fans-into-games-when-crowds-return-39281571.html Weird source but was the first I found - discussions have already taken place
  12. I think we might end up playing games at Hampden
  13. Have you seen the standard of goalkeeping in Scotland? Hladky aside
  14.

  15. love him already "thor is gonnae get ye"
  16. I don't mean Dobbie specifically, just anyone that scores goals
  17. Mine worked perfectly, and able to stream to my firestick using the firefox app. (click share tab to screen and ensure you are logged in) Enjoyed watching some of the free videos they've put on there last night
  18. I think a big part of the problem is that we assume experts knew what was going to happen In reality, a lot of it was guess work... Mistakes have been made in every country (except maybe New Zealand) The important thing is what happens next
  19. Yeah that's the point - I'd agree that lockdown was a good idea to ensure the NHS wasn't overwhelmed during the first wave Turns out, the NHS was able to cope, so if any second wave occurs- I don't think we should consider the repeat of a national lockdown (unless the NHS was literally drowning) Our life expectancy is still the same as it was before this virus existed
  20. That's an unreal shout Shame his requested wage would probably be wild
  21. I regularly look at the NS Scotland deaths table - it is weird that the way people are dying is seeming to change - but the numbers of people dying (compared to previous years) is pretty much the same. Off the top of my head, 2015 was actually a worse year for people dying. Perhaps improving hygiene and behaviors has a positive impact on life expectancy. I read a post the other day that the average age of covid deaths is actually higher than our life expectancy - so using that logic - any further lockdown measures would seem way over the top. Time to move on and get back to normality.
