You seriously are one argumentative fecker. You even highlighted someone's grammatical error earlier by highlighting that they had typed "board" instead of "bored" whilst hilariously not noticing that they had also typed "your" instead of "you're".

You're really trying to squirm your way out of your post by implying you were commenting on renfrews post in relation to Tony being just another player when he was clearly pointing out Tony should try to think before he says something that is, in some peoples opinion, bonkers? As for the other grammatical errors, why is it hilarious? You need to get a grip. You tried some time ago to get all angry with me for no fecking reason other than you disagree with my views. It's a forum, away and chill. PS Is this because I pointed out your ludicrous suggestion is was good we got pumped on Tuesday?

The only thing in Renfrew's post that can be construed a description was the comment about him being just another player. It's obvious that's what I was referring to. Why on earth would I care whether Renfrew likes or dislikes him and why would I try to deny the obvious fact that Tony often talks a lot of shite? You're not a very clever chap are you?

FTOF Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Can I sum it up? Tony Fitzpatrick was a fantastic player for us and is St.Mirren through and through. However, sometimes he's overly positive and a tad optimistic. Still an asset to our club IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His performances and achievements are indisputable. I have doubts about his abilities in, what I see as a crucial position, but his reputation is important for us. Maybe someone could check his statements before they are made public? PS You're also brighter than me.

notabuddie Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 There has been a number of open days at the club especially since we moved from love St without any restrictions. The first open day since fan ownership /SMISA got involved there are restrictions in place. Smacked of SMISA trying to justify their existence to say look what we did for the privileged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony is a good ambassador for the club no doubt about that he is the man I would like to see employed as our PR man in other words our commercial manager a role he would succeed in greatly . So where does that leave the big chap in that roll. I'm sure the club could find Campbell Kennedy a roll to play at the club. Chief Executive ( must be ) ( should be ) someone with years of proven business skills plus personal skills. It's all right if you want to plod on and move slowly with the current set up. However if you want to see improvement in part of the back room staff changes ( should be made ) chief executive needs the skills I wrote above. Scott you can still be loyal which i would like to see with St Mirren men but to move forward in a professional manner needs changes.

My last say on this, my wife used to work for him and an other guy. Tony and his business partner fell out with each other and had a disagreement what the business was worth. Tony decided in his wisdom to bring a pal of his to the office to check out the books. It is fair to say the police were often looking into the affairs of his pal. He also told lies about my wife after he left the business so excused me for not kissing the ground that he walks on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair enough mate and totally explains your feelings towards him. However my views on this topic only related to how "special" he was as a player. I don't even know the man. i think you knew that but were maybe being a wee bit obtuse given your personal feelings towards him. Even though I think you know exactly what I meant by special I will explain. i saw my first Saints game in 1974 (I think you've been following them even longer). In those 43 years I couldn't even begin to hazard a guess at how many players I have seen in the stripes. Let's call it hundreds. Tony Fitzpatrick is comfortably in the top 10 (possibly even top 5). In my humble opinion that makes him special. For me, referring to him as just another player, is putting him in the same category as Stephane Bahoken and Christopher Wreh. I wasn't having that.
