Unfortunate name, Sounds like a west coast dating site.

Is theis the 'big name' people have been waiting for ??

See honestly, i was off SO for a while because of this kind of post. No idea why this guy hasn’t been banned. It’s boring, banal troll shite. Genuinely, what does this guy bring to the forum?

I think it's telling that you turn the game into how many we could have conceded rather than enjoying the victory and looking at how many goals we could have scored. I do agree both areas need improving. As long as lessons are learned I can live with early season frustrations as players build up to full fitness and sharpness. So to be positive rather than negative, I have seldom seen us create as many clear cut chances as we did yesterday. The one goal we did concede was down to a brain fart by Ebiye and following a clear foul on Casey which the referee ignored. (Casey booked for showing the referee the stud marks on his leg). But for two great saves denying Miller and a string of poor finishes from a host of players we could easily have scored eight or more goals. But I suspect if we had won 8-3 some folk would prefer to look at the 3 rather than the 8.

Thank christ St Johnstone signed Arran Cocks.

Yeah mate he’s no bad let’s see how he adjusts to playing in the SPFL

This forum: United on getting Barmack to fuck. Disunited on almost everything else. We’re back in business, baby!

What he said was correct, Clyde could easily have scored a few more and we were far from comfortable. Just because a post or a particular posters view doesn’t sit right with the way you want to see things doesn’t make it pish.

Shiteopolous you mean 🤣🤣

Sounds like a song from Mary Poppins "Apostolos stamatelopous expialidocious, Let's hope it's money well spent and he is not atrocious Apostolos stamatelopous expialidocious"

His full name will need 4 or 5 shirts I think Apostolos Vasilios Stamatelopoulos Hereafter referred to on this forum as AVS 😁

We were the better side I’m not disputing that but we could easily have conceded more and did not look comfortable defending our lead, we never do especially under Kettlewell’s management. There were positives for us as you say and the biggest one of the lot is that we won the game which is the main thing in these games but performance wise we need to see an improvement if we aren’t to see a re-run of last season.

New striker on board. Stuparević gets a start. McGinn, Balmer and Gordon in defence. Home win.

I don't use it myself (I just scroll past posts I don't want to read) - but we do have an Ignore option available.

We are closing in on our first event of the new season and we would love for members of The Well Society to join us.

As kings of leon once said.....woahhhhhhhhhh spiderpig's on fireeeeee

But no goals after 1 appearance and he will be written off as the aussie Danzaki!! 🤣🤣

He's an Appostol preaching kettleball

Ap Stam should fit.

Stop stealing @grizzlyg's patter.

Aw naw don't tell folk about that, my name will be blacklisted by everyone 🤪🤪🤪

SOD set up at least four fairly straight forward chances but others made a hash of finishing. I thought both he and Wilson did what was asked of them but lapses elsewhere stopped us strolling to a far more comfortable scoreline. Similar to Montrose. Miller clearly a class above, especially when the movement of others stretched opponents creating space. His penalty was class. I also thought Paton looked much more effective running from deep. Please SK, no more having him as the main support for a loan striker. For the second game running Halliday showed he may have a big part to play. Surprised Balmer did not feature. Not convinced yet with the back three we saw as a unit yesterday. Hopefully we can identify the best partnerships as no doubt they all have something about them.

Fair enough Tam.

One definition of an internet troll is "a person who intentionally antagonizes others online by posting inflammatory, irrelevant, or offensive comments or other disruptive content". Now thats a pretty wide definition. In my book, it clearly includes someone who makes personal remarks, bullies other posters, singles other posters out for "special mention or treatment" (excluding engaging in constructive debate) or is abusive. Thats the easy bit, or maybe its not so easy. Its not so easy to decide if someone is troll if they post ridiculous comments - it might be that they just hold ridiculous views. It happens. The problem then becomes who decides the definition of a ridiculous view and why a poster has posted them? What we have to avoid at all costs, is to label someone a troll if they hold diametrically opposite views to us. Our support contains extremes of optimism and pessimism and a whole range in between. Personally I like to read views which are diametrically opposite to my own as it helps me test and challenge my own perspectives and understand where others are coming from. I'd say that the mods and admin on here do a pretty good job. The problem is that we don't know what we don't know - the unseen work that they do quietly in the background.

Thank you for your polite response. You are, by definition, a troll though. i quite enjoy the debate that posters like mjc and steelboy bring to the forum, do I agree with them? No, but they at least bring structure and an alternative viewpoint (both critical factors to a discussion) Can you honestly say that you bring these things to the table?

For others it is steelboy and mjc. Steelboy just blurts out how useless SK, Slattery, Halliday, Spittal, Higdon etc. etc. and every window says we should sign some unicorn striker he never names. (And then those players leave, complains we're struggling to replace them). And MJC is just a self-parody, predicting we'll lose every game and get relegated every season. But that's my opinion, which is obviously different from yours - which is why moderation isn't always the answer. Despite the red title on my profile, I don't actually perform moderation duties; I have that for other admin stuff. The biggest challenge, however, is that the guys don't read every post in every thread - or if they do, it might be a few days later. They try to take a light touch, relying on self-moderation where possible. But every report is read and dealt with as they see fit. Everyone has day job (and a life), however, and checking in here is not always possible. I've been on the internet for so long, my brain automatically skips over the trolls and wind-up merchants, but I get that is not true for everyone. 35 years ago, the advice was "don't feed the trolls" - it's still true today. If nobody responds, they get bored and start fishing elsewhere.

I actually thought some of our passing was decent in spells and on thar surface its always a struggle. We got into good positions but Moses and Roberston were'nt up to finishing some of it off. Far from a sterling performance but I do think there are signs it might be OK. Final cross ball into the area still a really weak point. Blaney cant dominate as he should for a guy of his size. Marks outta 10 I'd say 5/6.

He enjoyed the game

This isn't quite right. He didn't play at all for Columbus before he was loaned to Oxford and there wasn't even any photos of him in America. He only signed for Columbus on paper for the league minimum salary to save Oxford money.

After our result at Montrose, a win will be the only acceptable result for us. Even if we'd picked up all 3 points in Angus that might not have been enough, given Thistle's better goal scoring record. They'll be delighted to lose on penalties next week given their superior goal difference. We have to win simples. However, the players are getting match fitter and we've yet to field our strongest 11 from those we have available.

Typical happy clapper . If we can’t wipe the floor with lower leagues teams then we are in a bad way . Off course when we went on no win run every other week the fans said it can only get better how wrong they were

Excellent performance on a top quality surface, we're now motoring along nicely and should take a right few off Thistle next week. I feared we would lose a bit when we lost the highly impressive Paton in the engine room, but Halliday took us to another level, they both carried young Miller and he'll learn a lot from these top pro's. It's also clear to see that our front line has bags of goals in it, the inter-changing passing and dynamic movement was a joy to watch. A really well organised defence and excellent goalkeeper stopped this from being a rout. Big shout out as well to the ref, he really is one of the best in the game. What a fucking time to be alive.

Have a day off and stop talking pish.
