jazzsaint Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) Bruce McAlpine doesn't have a mean spirited bone in his body! I believe he is my dearly departed Nan's cousin. I have met him a few times and as was mentioned earlier he is a true gent and a saintee through and through. I am also led to believe that down that side of my family there is a certain Hamish McAlpine too, although I don't think I ever met him personally. Think I shouted abuse at him once at Muirton park though. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/st-johnstone-doorman-bruce-mcalpine-5828775 http://www.perthstjohnstonefc.co.uk/newsitemsdetail.php?param=3589 Edited June 28, 2015 by jazzsaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 What's with some of us on here? We start a thread to say all the best to TC and we end up criticising someone else who, to me personally, has always been friendly and helpful. Same with the club charter. We seem to think that the club owe us explanations about everything or are entitled to a personal thankyou. If I'd been running the site it would have been shut down maybe two years ago. It's become a poor reflection of what it once was. You wouldn't think we all had the same aim of supporting our team. I know, if you don't like it don't come on and post, but I have found more maturity at a toddler group I sometimes have helped at than I find we collectively display on here. cristo, ejksjfc, Brogan and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-montrosesaintee Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) All the best to TC, seemed like a great asset and stayed well out of the spotlight.

dunblanemike Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 hey, I thought you were away to support Stirling Albion? I agree with your point though. What's with some of us on here?

I'm not agreeing or indeed disagreeing with you but folk should be able to say what they like. Some people naturally back the club on everything and some don't.

You are right, of course you are, but it's undeniable how much poorer this forum has become, partly because of certain attitudes we often reflect on here.

Fact is: the doorman was mentioned, my post reflected on MY VIEW as a PAYING CUSTOMER of his rudeness..... and gave reflection that a friendly guy, and equally long serving guy TC hasn't had a mention on the OS (though that might simply be down to no one having time to write a fitting article). I'm sure if you know the doorman he is cool, but then again he might be encountered to be a rude git.... until you get used to him!!!!

This forum, one of a few I look at, is not as good as it used to be (which is a pity), and that is a view shared by many. Or isn't it?

ejksjfc Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Bruce I have always found to be very friendly, there is another "steward" (sorry I don't know his name)who I have occasionally encountered in the Muirton Suite who is extremely arrogant and rude. Dave the regular doorman in the Muirton Suite is also very nice and friendly and good ambassador for the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feldysaint Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 TC was a fantastic servant of the club in many a role and did not get credit due in my opinion head of youh up until two years ago the younger squad players at the present and the past are TCs players (not the current head of youth)has TC ever had the credit due for STEVE MAY CADDIS ETC !!!!!!

jamie Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 One of the best did not deserve the treatment he received correct what earlier post said he did not get the credit for many of the players he brought through little wonder he will be going to watch his first love in Glasgow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin James Is On Stilts Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) has TC ever had the credit due for STEVE MAY CADDIS ETC !!!!!! Tell me about all of the 'etc' please. May, yes. But Caddis is hardly a superstar. TC did great committed work for the club, was a fantastic servant to St Johnstone, a committed individual, a very well liked man amongst fans, players and staff, but let's not go getting carried away when it comes to your quote above.

Center Half Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Hearing all was not amicable in the end with T.C . . and also I belive we are now on about our 3rd general manager this year, a hard task master it would seem is our Steve, ( all for the best of the club though).

Center Half Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Allegedly he did not leave of his own decision. It was a team decision not a club decision. it would also appear that his job went to an ex workmate of the manager allegedly! Think we might hear more of this during the tribunal. sixties saintee and MySpazz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat McGroin Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Sad to hear this. I have zero knowledge on the situation so I am merely speculating for the record, but I wonder if the club is after a younger coach. That's no slight on Tommy but I think if you can relate to the kids you're teaching and them you, that is half the battle. The bigger the generation gap, the harder that is. Really disappointing to see things turn sour there. Edited August 9, 2015 by Pat McGroin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
