linwood buddie Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Clyde, Queens Park,Thistle and St Mirren could be a whole lot bigger if it wasn't for the tens of thousands sectarian f**kwit bigots polluting our space. That's it auld yin haud back your true feelings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herdo Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 No this is spot on. Most fans know the BOD did nothing wrong here. They could have let him walk away abroad for nothing in the summer, or they could have agreed to him signing on his terms. They chose the latter and I'm delighted they did. Imagine where we'd be if they'd chose the former? Kenny was at a level above the rest of the team this season. I said he was clearly too good for us, and so did our manager. It's no surprise he's moved on. The timing isn't great obviously, but that's what these transfer windows do. Aye is a big loss, if youd told me at this scenario at the start of the season though id have taken it. Think I need to avoid reading the facebook saints pages, comments! Going by the pounding the board are taking on them I thought id gotten it wrong lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Monkey Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Think I need to avoid reading the facebook saints pages, comments! Definitely do that. The Facebook page makes this place look well-balanced and reasoned. Facebook tends to attract the dregs of society on most matters, and sadly, the Saints-related feeds are no different.

I hate using this term as it makes me sound like a prick but a lot of people don't understand the economics of how a football club runs. More so during this transfer window, people in a blind panic for us to sign players before the window shut lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pod Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Don't be daft - Pollok obviously get much bigger crowds than Queens Park. My point was that you cannot just look at the surrounding area of a club and say that everyone there is part of a potential fan base. There are many reasons why people would not support their "local" team. They might not be interested in football (aka women ), they could have religious reasons (aka bigots), or "Ma Dad supported them, so ah support them" (aka people who can't think for themselves, aka Labour voters), they could be people that have just moved to the area having grown up somewhere else and so support the local team from where they grew up (e.g. Bluto), they could be gloryhunters (aka Celtic supporters), they could be masochists (aka St Mirren supporters). To base potential fan base on just the population of a specific geographical area is just total nonsense. It's funny how people are quite ready to accept St Mirren supporters from miles away that have no connection to Paisley (they just happened to pick us) but they can't accept non St Mirren supporters from Renfrewshire. Their from Inverclyde now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel your jibe about Labour voters is a bit much . Whilst your comment may well be entirely accurate ( for all I know ) it still intrinsically remains a bit of a generality . . you mustn't disrespect people just for believing Gord*n B*o^n. .

Hambud Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 That's the more likely scenario ! If , for example , Alex Neil knew he could get Kenny for £175k , why did he pay over a million for Andreu when they've both been playing an identical role lately ? The answer's probably that Andreu has more grit in his game and more consistency and has a better chance of success at a higher level !Neil knew Andreu, he also knows that if he f**ks up at Norwich a cash rich Hamilton will welcome him back.

RickMcD Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 What a remarkable coincidence! I also thought of 'oaksoft'. My word was a synonym of oaksoft. Oh! I see.You thought of the same word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickMcD Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 But you wouldn't need "an" when inserting any of the words "dickhead", "fanny", "c**t" or "prick" - or, for that matter, the phrase "dickhead fanny c**t prick". However, you would need "an" if you were going to insert the word "angel" - what the f**k that has to do with Oaksoft though, is totally beyond me. The word I thought of for you was of course 'aesthete' but I'm sure you had worked it out. Bluto just threw me mentioning Oaky, who I avoid, but don't mind laughing at, and that brought the word requiring 'an' to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickMcD Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 You know, that is probably one of the biggest insults I have ever received. Why would you think that anyway - I watch "football" at St Mirren Park FFS. Geez, most guys on here don't seem to recognise when they've been insulted and here's you not recognising a compliment. Can you not see that football as played by St.Mirren is an art form. It's the beautiful game, the thing that dreams are made of. Surely there's a bit of an artist in you?

It's well accepted that every boy who ever got good belt at school turns out to be retiring, introverted, lacking in social graces and has an Oedipus complex. That doesn't apply, however, if the corporal stuff was extra curricular. So was it in or oot. Or both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
