Froggie Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 One thing I do notice, despite the bleating about a reduced budget and inability to sign this player or that, it hasnt stopped Saints charging £20 a skull for a second tier match against Dumbarton. A chap was on the phone-in programme last night berating Kilmarnock for charging £26 for a midweek match which was on tv (not on my tv it wasnt, but thats another story) and followed a 0-4 trouncing by Dundee. Unless fans take action against these ridiculous pricing structures, nothing will be done until the attendances dwindle even further. As an aside, I am becoming perturbed by Ian Murrays signing policy so far. Not one of the players he has signed has impressed me ( only my personal view of course)I hardly think signing an average goalie at the end of his career is wise.We dont have ANYTHING up front, and our defence is a shambles. I await the usual comments from the experts on here to pick my post to pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Quality rant Froggie. Missed nothing out. Agree with you regarding prices. Despicable. Should be a lot less for this Division . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshireman Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) It is ridiculous that you can watch Bayern Munich v Dortmund for just over a tenner yet it's £26/per head premier league and £20 in the 2nd tier. I was for going to Rugby Park on Wednesday till i saw the price Edited August 14, 2015 by Ayrshireman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaksoft Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I think it's a symptom of far too many clubs simply not prepared to work together for the betterment of all clubs. Too many have delusions of grandeur. Too many fans talk about wanting us to build a team bringing youngsters through but no patience whatsoever to allow that to happen. How to solve it? You need to start with having better people running the clubs IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're one of the pushy 'football' dads whose son is a youth player at the club. He's only a filler but you think he's the next Messi and you run around licking all the youth coaches' arses! Maybe you could offer your lecturing services to the youth academy? Are there any scotvec modules that would be relevant? You're a deadbeat oaksoft!

shull Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I am so looking forward to tomorrow's Match. Probably more so than any from last Season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulysses Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 No idea what kind of team we'll play from midfield to front (defence picks itself) but I'd like to see McMullan, Gallagher, Morgan as a front three, with Mallan, Agnew, and Carswell in midfield.

TopCat Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I suspect he will go with the same starting 11 as last week. Perhaps bringing in Gallagher for Howieson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Looking forward to this. Dumbarton are now my local team, so always keep a wee eye out for their results. I hope we eviscerate them tomorrow, however. I would start with Gallagher over Thompson. Bring the skipper on later in the match depending on how things are shaping up. We need to be looking to the future, and a home game against a P/T club is the opportunity to let the young players gain experience. Don't get me wrong, I don't anticipate an easy win for one moment, but we should be looking to take this game to Dumbarton from KO, as The Rangers did with us last week. Pace up front will be key. I suppose we could start with Gallagher and Thompson up top, but I'm not sure who I would drop to accommodate this. I hope the midfield push up at every opportunity. We won't sit back as we did at Ibrox. That was horrible to watch in the first 25 minutes of the game - sitting deep and inviting them onto us. This match is an entirely different proposition. Hopefully Conlan will have settled a bit, and will be more composed. McMullen should terrorise their defence, and Mallan will hopefully control things alongside Carswell and Agnew in the centre of the park. Oh, and I don't expect the latter to indulge in overly exuberant celebrations of his two goals. 4-2 Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie88 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Looking forward to the game tomorrow. Dumbarton did have a good result last week, this won't be an easy game. I do think we will have enough to win the game and we really need to start as we mean to go on. 4-2 saints. Would be good to see Thommo grabbing a goal after his shocker last week. COYS!

Stmirren#1 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 What about trying 2 up top or Gallagher playing just off Thommo ? Also hoping McMullan and Mallan contribute with goals and assists oh and would be great to see Jaison Naismith and Sean kelly bombing up and down the flanks with pace and urgency, 5-0 Saints would sent a statement out to this league.

Stmirren#1 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) My son's first league game too, though I've not really given him much choice about who he'd support. Hope he enjoys his day and see's a rampant Saints perfomance and goals a plenty, ps if he gets bored and we are getting pumped he can always go to food kiosk for a Refreshers bar / Hot dog or count one of the many aeroplanes taking off from Glasgow Airport.
