I can't believe you're actually defending what you said by offending people further. Naturally lots of people would rather live in a 7 bed Victorian villa on Kinnoull hill than a 3 bedroom former council house in Tulloch but for 99% of people that's a bit far reaching. I don't actually know anyone who could afford to live there. I've only met two people in my entire life who have lived there and neither of them do now, as it was their parents houses. In Tulloch, the street I live on is full of people who own their own homes, we all have cars and work for a living. There are a few young couples and families starting out in life plus a good few retired couples (who used to work, funnily enough). There's no trouble, everyone knows everyone else and lots of us have lived here for a very long time. The houses don't look as nice as the ones in Oakbank or Kinnoull Hill and its maybe not your cup of snobbish tea but to describe it as a "shite part of town" is offensive to the people who live there. There are small pockets that are perhaps less desirable (I.e. down by the shops) in both Letham and Tulloch but by and large, no problems. Certainly in Tulloch, people take pride in their gardens, there's no rubbish strewn about or stuff lying dumped about the place. I don't go to Letham much so can't say too much about it but know lots of people who live there who never complain about it. The 208 in its current state is not pleasant and nobody has disagreed with you there. I said it has potential to be something better and outlined the ways in which that could happen. You're just assuming the area it's in is full of folk who can't afford to eat out or go out for a few drinks therefore couldn't support it. I'm sure that may be true for some people but I'm telling you - from personal experience, having actually lived here - that your view point doesn't actually speak for the majority. You are making a crass generalisation based on an ignorant opinion of the place. I have plenty of disposable income and regularly eat out. Incidentally I know a few people who live in Oakbank who don't have a lot of disposable income because they've rooked themselves trying to live in a house they can barely afford. Stop being so narrow minded and judgemental.

Disagree completely. Lappin has been a great asset to the club and has always put in a great shift. I hoped we would have retained him for another season. His crosses and dead ball delivery along with experience and reading of the game will be missed. Simon, I salute you for your efforts and wish you well in the future.

Simon lappin thanks for all your efforts over the past couple of seasons some of your dead balls and crosses were out of this world and that goal at ibrox was brilliant long live the king of spain

Forest fan here. Interesting thread but I think you can probably rest easy. Forest's owners are currently negotiating selling a controlling stake in the club to the owner of Olympiakos. We're not appointing anyone until this goes through and it's unlikely new owner will want to go for anyone other than a 'name'. TW would be far too sensible an appointment. To placate fans whilst the takeover goes through, the current owner put it out that they wanted to get a manager in with links to Forest so this is likely just papers talking bollocks.

Yup, We made it Craigielad happened to be out at St Mados on Sunday morning. Picked us up after Joes game. Headed to Edinburgh, Met his mate at his house, Bus into town and in for Kick off. At the game I spoke to postie who let us back on the supporters bus. all in all a good day out and a big thanks to Craigielad agan

5-1 away to the famous Aberdeen was the highlight for me. It was almost unbelievable . The look on the faces of some of the Dons fans was priceless. Low point was every time we played Partick Thistle.. Best goal... Captain Daves last minute free kick winner in Dingwall... It was sweet and the timing was just perfect..

hoped that lappin would have been given a new contract, quality player with lots of experience

lomas was a fool whereas Tommy is just plain cool

George has another year with Saints and expects that he may go out on loan in the Championship with Dumbarton a possibility. Nevertheless he is going all out in pre-season to see if he can get into the Saints' squad for next season.

John marnoch is a wee jobby hes also fond of the bobby To be a found lurking in the blokes bog brushing his hamsteads looking for a snog hes on here every week Pleading he's an exiled Greek He looks like Jonathan ross of whom he'd probably like to toss. hows that for a speech boss.

He will not be going to Forest thats for sure Half way through his speech at player of year tonight he pretended to get a call from someone After a pause he said out loud in that accent of his " Na no thanks" then went on to slag Dundee and Hearts and congratulate his own teams achievements he's here for a long time in my opinion

A story about the St Johnstone manager is not the headline news needed to flog copies of a newspaper

Maybe TW misses Nottingham and we need to give him a big East Stand chant of the robin hoods to make him feel at ease. Tommy Wright Tommy Wright leader of the pack Tommy Wright Tommy Wright got Jackie mac the sack Swanson on the left Spoony on the right Tommy Wright Tommy Wright Tommy Wright

Ibrox was glorious. Really put rangers in their place that night.

Away to Inverness early in the season, Mackay had been sent off so we were down to ten and in full shitfest mode. Fisher was forced into knocking the ball out for a throw in, but instead of just doing the normal thing and rolling it out, he absolutely battered it out the stadium instead, leading to everyone involved with Caley absolutely losing it. Fairly sure Fisher got booked for it but Yogi Hughes spend the next five minutes stomping around in a huff. Glorious.

Well done to the 10 or so at hearts yesterday.

Disappointed to see Brown gone, for me he was more deserving of a contract than Thomson, who seems to have just hit a goo patch of form when we were all shitting ourselves. Can't imagine he'd have been on huge wages either. Suppose its maybe arrogance to suggest it was our choice though, and for all we know he refused to speak to us as he was after more regular football. I'll miss Lappin too, got a rough ride of it from Saints fans for a while but has had some great moments with us. The others are all pretty meh, never really seen much of them though tbf. Delighted Suttons been told he can leave, while its likely just a matter of time before McKay is told hes also free to go. Not entirely sure going on holiday to Thailand when he could've been training and trying to impress was the wisest choice he could've made.

Thanks to all who are departing especially Simon and Scott, will always remember the strikes against Dundee Utd and Rangers, Simon was a shining light when we had dealings with him after my youngest got hit in the face last Christmas, model pro and a really nice guy. Best of luck Simon all the best

Congrats to saintee in exile for winning and thanks to Steve McQueen for all your hard work. * note to self: remember to do the final league placings next time*

His motivations seem to be different to the previous managers. Perhaps it's an age thing, or perhaps he's just happy to find a job at a club that is a good fit for him and in an area that he (and his wife, importantly) enjoys living. It took him a while to properly up sticks and move everything over here full time, so it's obviously not a decision that he takes lightly. He speaks openly about not enjoying big city living, and I can't imagine he would be a fan of constantly moving around from job to job chasing the dream. This is purely guess-work and assumptions, but I wouldn't be surprised if one of the reasons the Dundee United job may have been considered by TW earlier in the season is because it's just down the road and would have meant he could still live where he is. Unless a 'too good to be true' offer from a club down south appears, then I imagine that he'll be with us until his country comes calling.

I thought the 3-0 win over Aberdeen was best. We made them look third rate. Could have had a couple more goals.

you cant choose MoM on that criteria. fraz has passed the batton.

Maybe we've been watching different games. I've often seen Lappin do fine but rarely better

Good one !

Mutually Terminated seams fine to me. like his brother shyte

Beating Yinited at McDiarmid while being down to 10 men. Amazing atmosphere.

Jeezo , that's hellish

Thanks for sharing Misty. Stop by from time to time if you care to.

And in the case of this particular paper you can be pretty sure that is the case. They excel at sowing the seeds of uncertainty and discontent amongst smaller Scottish clubs whenever they have column space to fill.

There are about 4 or 5 wap posters in these pics

Hope we can continue sponsoring him.. great lad!

Come on Wimbledon/Stanley

Forest have not had a manager in charge for more than 60 games in 3 years or something. He's holding out for the N.I Job.

Friday 3pm at the cremmy

Don't ruin their fun.

nice one mate. I got a madras on ma plate Assan he misses you Sometimes he bungs us a freebie or two But he cannae do take aways tae Elgin though ha ha ha.

If you make your business appealing then people will travel from these more "affluent" areas to come to you. Incidentally I live in Tulloch and find the description "shit part of town" extremely offensive. I live in a row of houses that are all privately owned by very respectable, lovely people. The Cherrybank is just a pub with a nice atmosphere, friendly staff and great food. They've made a good name for themselves by doing the simple stuff really well and now they're extending. You can tell they have worked really hard to make a success of what they do. Meanwhile the 208 has rested on being a bit of an old mans pub with a function room attached. It could be so much more. If I was buying it, that's the route I would go down with it. It would need completely refurbished, the name would have to go and serious investment in the kitchen/food side of things. It has potential.

I assume that by saying "as far as we all know", you're really implying that you know nothing specific at all.

I imagine Sutton will leave not even in squad today had little game time this season hopefully Liam gets tied up done enough over past month or so to see he is starting to get some form back and would like lappin and brown kept lappin does a steady job when required and brown has potential there showed it in the Celtic game see what next week brings imagine that is when we will find out

All we had at muirtons last game was a plastic turf remover. what a way to leave the old ground. mon the eses

Could get even better if he's allowed to stay up late and watch his goal on Sportscene

What has he been lucky with? Sustaining a decent Premiership standard squad? Masterminding some of the best moments in our history? Continually motivating the squad to successive top half finishes? Consistently tactically outclassing so-called bigger teams? That's all down to the man, not down to luck.

Congratulations Hannah. Are we carrying on the sponsorship onto next year?

Tommy is a big Derby County man and a terrible manager.

So the last prediction was the best? 6 correct.

Next season could be hilarious watching them and selik, Joey Barton and Scott Brown on the same pitch! That has 10 aside written all over it

Nobody would want him even on a free

Followed by Effie, Effie, give us a wave. Loved how Tommy came over at the end of the game to the support in the East Stand (surely to be renamed the Tommy Wright stand) and gave it the ARM. Thanks Tommy from an appreciated Saints fan.
