kevo_smfc Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I have a season ticket. I have had for more years than I care to remember. I won't be there on Monday for no other reason than why would I put myself through 2 hours of hell? Lost all interest. My son has too. My question to the board is this. Do you hear us or are you choosing to ignore us? The club is a shambles. The team is a shambles. The communication is a shambles. The commercial side is an utter disgrace. Your ability to bring through and nurture new supporters is appaling. No 11 year old die hard Saints fan should ever be so disillusioned that they choose to miss games and opt for an EPL strip instead of an SMFC one because the one they REALLY want is so dreadful. This is the reality. Fergie used to drive around the streets urging people to come to the games. All I see now is apathy. From you Stewart to imposters like Gregg Wylde. No one is giving a f**k apart from us. Thanks for everything but now hang your heads in shame. You saved us. Now you've destroyed us. But don't worry. We'll pick up the pieces. Herbie, this is one of the greatest and most accurate posts I have read on here in many of years. Within my family, there are many season tickets holders, who have travelled afar to support the buddies on the road too. The majority of them are so disconnected with the club now, that they cant see themselves returning until change is made. In regards to your boy, i have a nephew of the same age who has lost all interest in the club too, and its heartbreaking to see the fans of our future being switched off so early.

Ditto Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I'm not sure who the 75% you refer to are but the only player who has any real chance of playing at this level in the current group is McGinn (maybe Tess), so with the prospect of playing at a lower level with significantly reduced wages wouldn't you give a f**k? I don't see a lack of effort. I see players who are simply not good enough and some who are but have lost all confidence playing in a shite system that doesn't give us our best chance to succeed. Complete and utter rubbish, there are at least 5 players in the side that started on Tuesday that would hold there own in any team in the SPFL & only one of the two you have mentioned would be in that five.

Thorizaar Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) If we won... It would make you take a deep breath in and look at the league table. Wouldn't it? If we win on Monday then get Motherwell at home in the first post split fixture, it certainly gives an opportunity to put them under pressure. Taking that opportunity would be an entirely different matter, of course. Edited April 12, 2015 by Thorizaar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLBud Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Complete and utter rubbish, there are at least 5 players in the side that started on Tuesday that would hold there own in any team in the SPFL & only one of the two you have mentioned would be in that five. At least five? Which five would "hold their own in any team in the SPFL"? When Ridgers leaves us he'll go back to being a career back up. Naismith and Kelly wouldn't get near another top flight team based on this season. McAusland and Genev? Goodwin wouldn't be entertained by another side due to his disciplinary record. McGinn, as I've said will be picked up by someone either up her or down South. Dayton is shit. Sadlier is unproven at this level. Mallan's level has dropped off alarmingly after a great start showing he's not ready. Arquin? We're bottom of the league precisely because our players aren't good enough. Which five of the above do you think are good enough to walk into other teams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will concede that "at least" is maybe an overstatement, but I do believe that there are 5 players in our squad today who could hold their own and do a good job in most SPFL teams with better players around them.

Ok, so we've established that my original statement wasn't "complete and utter rubbish" but I'm still interested to understand which players you feel would have a sniff at another top flight club?

alshboy Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I have a gut feeling we can actually beat Ross County, though I can't provide any logic to it. 3 factors may help us. 1. We need a reaction from the players due to the god awful performance against Motherwell. 2. Ross County have a poor record in Paisley (can only remember them winning once, Ivan Sproule hat trick a couple of season ago). 3. Willie Collum is referee and he owes us a couple of dodgy decisions BIG TIME, look out for sending offs, penalties and if we're getting gubbed abandon the game !!!!!

We have established nothing, my comments still stand, but that's just my opinion, yours on the other hand appear to be borne out of frustration and annoyance at St Mirren's demise this season and absolutley I get that and completely understand. I on the other hand am looking at it from a pure footballing perspective and my knowledge of over 10 yrs in the footballing system and having watched a lot of football up and down the UK. I am not getting into any further than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
