Stupid mistakes cost us and that is the difference at the top level That's what made the defeat hard to take, individual mistakes and Ross must have been frustrated as, mistakes apart, we were in the game in the first half. Second half was a non event after it went to 4-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt suggest any individual was a wage thief. As i clearly said in response to a poster who seemed to believe players not getting involved was in some way to their credit, i stated a player who thinks its ok to not get involved is a wage thief! i think the overwhelming majority of saints fans, and football fans across the world wouls see it the same way.

I just don't see it, I honestly think this squad would be fine in lower half of premier league of course we would be in danger of relegation along with another 5 teams but definitely wouldn't be adrift at the bottom. Looking at it another way would County, Thistle or Dundee be sitting Do you honestly think if we had played County, Thistle or Dundee yesterday we would have been horsed 4-1??? I just don't see it, I honestly think this squad would be fine in lower half of premier league of course we would be in danger of relegation along with another 3/4/5 teams but definitely wouldn't be adrift at the bottom. Looking at it another way would County, Thistle or Dundee be sitting 8 points clear at the top of the league if they were in this season's championship??? Imo no they wouldn't they would probably be in top 4 but just don't think they would be 8 clear at the top. I really dont get where your question is coming from? Who suggested we would have been horsed by those other three teams had we played them yesterday? Not I.... but i did point out when we have played Premiership opposition this season we have been horsed each time. Their is an obvious gulf in strength, fitness, thinking and attitude between where we are, and where we would need to be, to stay competitive in the Premiership. That will only be bridged by recruiting more players who are at, or can step up to that challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can really take much from the scores in a pre-season friendly and a game that was essentially treated as a pre-season friendly. You can if you'r continually trying to undermine the manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without even stopping to think of any player at the club who might fit that bill, do you honestly think there are no wage thieves in a winning side? I think there were one or two.who fell short of earning their corn yesterday though, but would not dream of mentioning names as it was a symptom of being second best in most areas rather than wilfully coasting or hiding. What the players need to understand is how high the bar really is and that it gets higher the closer we get to the premiership. That is yesterday's lessonq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough you didn't say we would get horsed from them but is there really such an obvious gulf???Ross County was a pre season friendly and Jack admitted just last week he totally made a mess of the Thistle game & Aberdeen well they have been discussed over and over last 24 hours so are we really going to use them to judge our ability to compete in SPL. I really wanted anyone outwith Old Firm, Aberdeen, Hearts or Hibs in Scottish cup this year as really fancied our chances against anyone else. We have done great since July & don't think wholesale changes are needed but let's get the league championship won first see what players are staying for premiership let Jack add who he needs and take it from there.

Lager Tops Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Was part of the near 600 saints supporters at Aberdeen yesterday and in over 42 years of going and watching st.mirren I don't think I have ever witnessed the length of constant singing from the saints fans, which was outstanding........ A credit to the club, how to truly support your team, and kept a smile on my face. We have 14 games left in the championship, it will not be a formality and likely there will be some bumps along the way and yes there will be more individual errors..... Getting on players backs seems to be a joyful pass time of some on here, really don't get it, would prefer that the energy was focussed on getting right behind the team.... Probably a wish to far .... For the remainder of the season and giving the team and staff the best possible support, which I believe they truly deserve. (Too many with short memories on here) When I left the stadium to the bus, was I disappointed at the result... Yes, but not completely surprised....... But overwhelming feeling was proud to be a St.Mirren fan, part of that support and continue to look forward positively to every game.... Looking out of the bus seeing saints fans with a smile on their face and a spring in their step as they headed into Aberdeen for rehydration!, I believe most were of a similar opinion...... Only 5 more sleeps to the next challenge ..... COYS, get the vocal chords ready for Dunfermline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldo_j Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 19 hours ago, Lord Pityme said: Stelios is a winger, filling in at full back and yes as soon as Eckersley is fit he'll replace him there. Played as a winger he would/will be a decent member of the squad in the premiership. Not a chance he is a winger, and any time he’s played wide midfield he’s been utterly honking. he’s potentially best suited to a wingback role in a 352 formation, but that’s not a trendy formation at the moment. He’s fine as he is now when we are generally on the front foot in the Championship, but not sure if he’s a defender that would thrive with backs to the wall type football week in, week out.

Bart Simpson Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Sorry mate I was being facetious. The support were great today I did understand you were talking about other players. [emoji6] I know (see the comment before about a particular League Cup Semi Final) just making sure others did too. No need to apologise...I think the perspective thread about what a difference a year makes is stands true for the fans as well as the team mind you...

East Lothian Saint Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Oh well so much for Aberdeen being the second best team in Scotland. They just got pumped into third place. If we'd waited a week we could have pumped them too. Looks like the old firm might have regained their top two crowns meaning Jack will have to have learned enough to split or even beat them next season because the rest of them are rank. Oops just woke up. Must have been dreaming. We're not even in the premier league yet and the Tony Fitz madness has gripped everyone. Let's just hope we can beat the Pars. One step at a time boys and we could be on our way. Edited January 24, 2018 by East Lothian Saint Dreaming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Much as I wish it weren’t so, there is absolutely no question that Rangers are still Rangers and The Old Firm is still The Old Firm. Anyone who thinks otherwise is quite simply in denial. Same strip, same stadium, same ugly knuckle dragging fans, same retained history and trophy’s. Please lets not kid ourselves that because a faceless, soulless corporate entity ceased to exist, that “Rangers” ceased to exist. It makes us look petty, small, jealous whatever. Frankly it makes us look as bad as them. They cheated, they got punished (perhaps not as heavily as some may have liked) now they are back and while they were away, the SPL shat it’s pants and never took the only opportunity they will ever get to change the rules. The status quo has been preserved and we all better just quit whining and get on with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
