norrie82 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Thought MANAGEMENT spoke tremendously well tonight. I suspect murray knows he desperately needs reinforcements and particularly in defence at Centre half. on Friday I fear our lads will be torn apart and I worry about them big time at ibrox. I do believe come October we will be stronger tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santaponsasaint Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Enjoyed the meeting, Murray and Spalding come across really well, Seemed very honest, But we have to give them time to mould a team. Well done all who attended tonight, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 They only had positives to say about Goodwin to be fair And hi attitude. Just that he will not play 36 league games a season. He will play 20-25 at best due to age etc. And that he must realise he is not the same player he was 2-3 years ago. His legs have gone and he has to change the way he plays, and reads the game. If he can do that he will contribute. Currently reading Sir Alex's book. He said the same about Roy Keane near the end of his Man U career but Keane couldn't accept this.

Well done all who attended tonight, Giving them time is key. Hopefully, there won't be the pressure of a relegation battle, and we, as supporters, will be suitably patient (oh how he laughed).

jama Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 to be honest its a bit of a sham when the chairman say's 'we need the money' more than the product being available to the supporters as no supporters means no season tickets and therefore no club something surely has to be done about this come on sg sort it out its getting ridiculous now, no tops for children, no training gear and not to mention tops that u cannot fit your neck through this alone has stopped me buying 3 full strips for me and my 2 kids how many others have the same view?? shambles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) They only had positives to say about Goodwin to be fair And hi attitude. Just that he will not play 36 league games a season. He will play 20-25 at best due to age etc. And that he must realise he is not the same player he was 2-3 years ago. His legs have gone and he has to change the way he plays, and reads the game. If he can do that he will contribute. In recent memory, Tommy Turner was perhaps the most effective ageing player who knew his limitations and played to his strengths. He maintained discipline, marshalled the players around him, and focused on keeping possession while clearing his lines when necessary. He didn't need to have young legs, and a 21-year-old's dynamism for that. Jim would do well to catch a few VHS recordings of TT.

pozbaird Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Gilmour just saying difference between JD and Provan is £100,000. A lot of money to the club... 100k for some shoddy service? I'm confused. JD are kit and training wear suppliers (and shirt soonsors), they should be compared to the Hummel / Braehead combination prior to them coming in. PSL did all our merchandising. Surely PSL should be compared to the guys currently doing the stadium shop - which is now very good IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellV1 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 What about the change of Dugoots ? There are no forth officials at league games at this level other than TV games so if we want to make a sub, get an explanation on a decision then it's best to have the linesman on our side of the pitch. subs will warm up as normal from now on so they aren't in front of opposition fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've read that as well. Hope Jim does adapt his game and play 25 odd games. Don't want him or Thompson to leave under a cloud or poor season. Murray indicated that Jim has accepted this and has been great in training. Though admitted that the real test will come during the season if Jim perhaps hasn't featured in 4/5 weeks.

TT was struggling until Tom Hendrie came in and switched him to sweeper to play in his system. Not sure Murray wants to play this system.

windae cleaner Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 They didn't discuss specifics Someone asked direct about Langfield, answer along the lines of he ticks all the boxes but he's not available as it stands, definitely more going on than was let on Money They said we pay the same as Raith and Queen of the South Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Zo Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Anyone have a meltdown about the Celtic shop at St Mirren Park?;-) I remember that was a big story to some people on here a few weeks back.:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a very polite way of saying 'I would like him to go and get him off the wage bill as i won't be picking him' very much like Danny with Lee Mair... Who eas well past it, but got the fan-boys on here stirring the shit on his behalf.... Aye Top Bloke Lee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pod Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 How the f**k can we have the same budget as Qos and raith if we have been in the prem for 10 years, won a cup, got a parachute payment, had our debt cleared and have an average gate twice that of them!!?? It beggars belief!!!! Oh and sold £400k worth of talent!!!!! Are you an accountant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 I expect they would if someone comes in with a better offer. There lies the problem. With the end of their second three-year deal coming sooner rather than later, they should be inviting tenders for the gig.... Which would see X amount from a new supplier, plus X amount from interested shirt sponsors, plus discussions with tbe guys doing the club shop, plus removal of existing stadium advertising if JD are replaced... Which is a fair amount of work, so if JD really ARE 100k better than any combination of new kit supplier / shirt sponsor - fair enough, but work the deal for a better deal for supporters, not just the directors / club. Like Bournemouth and others - get kits in our club shop. If not, get a proper St Mirren presence in the three places they ARE available. Get the actual stock / online stock discrepencies bollocks sorted. Get kids strips available as full kits and at the time of summer when OF clubs and others flood stores with THEIR kit. Get proper kit launches. Get the kit to fit over people's nappers. Get the away kit properly photographed and worn by strapping handsome chaps like Thommo, instead of some half-arsed Twitter leak. Get it sorted MacPherson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
