  1. @Cagey As @blueheaven says I am still loitering in at various times, just a bit busy these days so don't post
  2. There was a guy in the padded seats in mainstand stating that previously prior to him coming to saints as director of football. He stated at the time that that was why St Mirren released him. @blueheavenchecked that out at the time and said he wasn't related.
  3. Probably a mixture of both Cagey from what i hear. They bring in hundreds of youngsters and only a small number will make it this far but as you say they also buy the best and lose some of the best to young lad starring in liverpool under 18s just now being a perfect example.
  4. dinnae bother playing 4 times just play once and base the rest of the league on the 11 games. You might just have hit on a great idea there random / mr wise
  5. Depends on what the referee has put it down as. Sending off for 2 bookings etc would be 1. Not sure if that counts as serious foul play.
  6. I seem to remeber a manager being slagged rotten for buying McPherson and comments stating that he was worst player folk had seen etc. Oh how times change 🤪
  7. But in March 2021 they then gave another £5m which was split between 7 clubs.
  8. No the accounts for year ending 2021 show they received an interest free loan repayable over a 21 year period of £2.6m application-pdf
  9. huge?? i think we are still well enough run to have controlled our expenditure to ensure the wages are within budget.
  10. why are they falling through. player and club demands or other issues

    Maybe he has believe in his staff and has them doing the pre match analysis.

    He doesn't say anything of the sort. He says there needs to be work done on it and they are already booking their slot.

    I wondeer what he would say if we had a decent sprinkler system because you watch games down south they must put ten times the amount of water that we do on a pitch just before kick off

    just going by their twitter account which shows the pitches they are working on and explains a bit about what they are doing. suspect that tractor has gone on the scrapheap
  15. the first paragraph said it was part of the club licensing

    But the removing of the top soil (2mm) is something that all grounds get done at the end of the season, so your theory that that is the issue does not stand up. The base i.e. the roots are a lot further down that the 2 mm that they remove. The contractors have been doing most of the top pitches in the country in addition to the oldfirm and hibs training grounds so are not a load of cowboys. I agree there is an issue but maybe there are plans for that to be addressed with a much bigger revamp at the close season, maybe a question you could ask at the open meeting.
  17. Have to feel for Consadine 600th game - scores an own goal deflects a pass going to his keeper right into strikers path for second and then gets sent off. Not one he will remember.
  18. that is as close to a positive a post as i have ever seen after a game from you @Cagey you feeling okay
  19. To be fair that's why you are sitting picking team ona website and he is picking a side in spfl.
  20. yep followed by a lassie chewing a sausage 🤪
  21. it took a while to load but was certainly not football
  22. Was it not a case of Collum deciding a red by which time VAR had also checked it and come to the same decision. If Collum had given a yellow then they had looked at it and thought red he would have then be called to the screen. All a bit farcical.
