I've been open with him on here when I've disagreed with what he said. Best for all involved if leaves this forum alone now, probably.

Sounds like he'll have a decent chance of a career then, and I wish him the best. It's always a shame when young players dont break through at Saints, we all want them too. Footballs reached a stage where it's rare for it to be in a managers best interests to develop youngsters rather than play players they trust to perform, it's a problem all over the planet. Hopefully your son doesnt get too discouraged.

Yes, history has proven that ripping a team that finished 7th, with more points than 6th, apart, leads to success. In the past three seasons we've lost Mannus, Mackay, Wright, Millar, MacLean and May. Arguably lost Easton and Anderson aswell. Are folk expecting us to instantly replace players of that quality, and influence, in one window? Itll take years to rebuild the squad from that, as a steady process is always the best option to that. Lowers the risk of failure. Having a core of players who've been here for years, and have plenty of experience of the club, has more of an impact than people seem to realise.

Alston had an offer from Hamilton apparently, now they're up I'd expect he'll go there. Worked with Rice before. Shaughnessy has always been left open has it not? Much like Muzz, if he fails to find a club down South we'll open up talks, but it's in the hands of his agent. Hes allowed a holiday, because mobile phones exist.

How many goals, or assists, did he score for the youths/reserves this season? Genuine question, there doesnt seem to be stats anywhere.

I think you're reading far, far too much into this. We'd be aswell just ending this here though, or we'll spend all night disagreeing.

Yes. The game meant something to Hamilton. The game meant absolutely nothing to St Johnstone. I've no idea why the players would care in the slightest about who was in the play offs.

I think we're fine without one. Watt and Kane must've missed about 10 absolute sitters this season between them, and neither of them are great in the air.

It was a nothing game. You can dress it up if you want, but you see it all over the planet in this type of game. We tried the "bumbling big target man" approach in the past, and it turned us into an absolutely dreadful outfit who just shelled balls at an immobile target for 90 minutes. Absolute pish. We had three bad months in a nine month long season. Why is that three months more representative of the squad? We finished 20pts clear of 10th. We actually finished closer to 3rd than 10th in terms of points. Why would St Mirren be due anything? It's not anyone's fault except your own that you spent time and money going to a game that meant nothing. Would you spend £100 and a weekend going to Belfast for the friendly this summer then moan it was played like a friendly?

An incredible over reaction on here based on losing an absolutely nothing game, against a team scrapping for their lives.

Our family deal is incredible when you compare it to other clubs. A family of four, with two adults and two children of 10 years old, who want to sit in the prime position of the halfway line, would be £650. Hearts... ...halfway line is £1220, or a £810.

So a £10 increase in the Main, and a £5 in the other stands.

Dunfermline fans reckon they're signing Aaron Comrie

I'd rather have Shaughnessy than Anderson, so if it comes to July and Joe comes back to ask for a new deal I'd be happy for us to talk to him tbh.
