He's destroyed any chance of a future job with his previous behaviour: Louise Taylor of The Guardian pointed to Davies' "paranoia", "self-destructive insecurities" and "obsession with conspiracy theories and old grudges" as the reasons behind his downfall, suggesting that he had "shattered" his reputation. The Daily Telegraph's John Percy, who was one of a number of reporters who were "accused of being in league with his former employers" for questioning decisions Davies made, said that Davies was "destined for failure" because he was "obsessed" with conspiracies and hidden agendas.

He didn't just mention it. His quote would be an answer to a direct question from a journo. More importantly, I hope Max Johnston is having a few conversations with Miller to tell him how good it is to make the move away from Scotland and play in Europe.

Not sure how you interpret his comments in a negative way. He made light of the "best player" comment and spent the rest of the time talking about how he had the right attitude and mentality and should be looking replace the old guard in the team: "At the same time, they're not here to make the numbers up, they're here to take our places if eventually they're better than the ones that are here and we no longer get called up." "So they need to have that confidence, they need to come here and not just make the numbers up, come here and try and get a starting position and then become a mainstay for years to come. “He definitely has the ability to do so and so does James. I watch Motherwell pretty regularly and my brother Paul always spoke about him highly."

The comments I saw from McGinn were nothing but supportive. Did he say something different after that?

If you want lack of pace, poor decision making, slack passing and questionable technical ability, look no further than Dan Casey.

McGinn doing what good captains do and sticking up for his new team mate instead of slagging him off.

If you read the full quote, Miller gave a pretty professional answer to what was a, no doubt, typically loaded journo question: I can't imagine any successful pro not having the mindset that "you need to want to be the best"

We always seem to be slow starters in the game after a break. Happened again on Saturday, so hoping Wimmer can figure out a way to get us on the front foot from the kick-off in the next game.

Aye, I think losing to Dundee, St Johnstone and Ross County has had a bigger impact. Teams are all over the place form-wise, though, so everyone else has been throwing away points too.

I think you're right. On current form, Utd seem the most likely to drop out the top 6. Aberdeen have just about enough in the bank to be safe and Hearts should be good enough to stay there. Would be some game at Fir Park, though, if the top 6 came down to the winner of the Hearts match.

Luminous doesn't look good on anything except tropical fish or safety jackets.

We should immediately write a letter to someone and then let the press know we are going to write a letter to someone and then let the press know again after we have written a letter to someone.

For people not old enough to have seen Alex Ferguson's St Mirren team, they were like a dirty, cheating version of today's.

This is the same man who, when Dunne intentionally crocked Mika, claimed he didn't mean it.

We never play well after a break - we're the kind of team that needs to be playing competitive games every week. Not unique in that by any means, but not totally surprised we were slow starters today. I also suspect that, as Wimmer said after the first game, the players were still thinking about their additional instructions rather than playing instinctively, and that leads to hesitation and errors. Robinson, however, continues to drag football into the 19th Century.

Looks like Robinson's teams still haven't earned the right to "play football" Meanwhile, take your pick...

"If true" is the classic phrase of the internet troll. "I just heard Keir Starmer is going to ban Scottish football fans from attending live games. Outrageous, if true". Basically just a mechanism for spouting nonsense. Given that Maswanhise played 25 minutes at Dundee and zero minutes at Ibrox, it's a pretty long rest he's getting.

It was. Almost completely "amber", with a claret trim and the cursive MFC for a badge.

Except the Brexit part of it.

I started going to games in the 1970-71 season and we only had one season with a hoop (73 - 74) between then and 1984. And, of course, no hoop when we won the cup. The diagonal stripe is the most memorable one from my formative 'Well supporting seasons, and many of my favourite players wore it. I also liked the white Admiral change kit form the 1970's with the vertical claret and amber stripe. So while I like to see a hoop, it never formed a part of my original Fir Park experiences.

7. We never win after a week off

I broke my wrist years ago when I fell over in the snow. So little pain involved that I thought I had just sprained it. Turned out the scaphoid bone was fractured and required a bone graft and a titanium screw, because that bone doesn't have much of a blood supply and often won't heal on it own. It was in a cast for 4 or 5 weeks and the surgery damaged all the nerves in my hand - I couldn't even touch the tip of my thumb to the tip of my index finger. I couldn't have played football for about a month after that as any contact to my hand, or worse, falling on it, might have damaged the recovery. And that was a nothing break.

So you're prediciting a St Mirren win, then?

Page turned the day he left. Let it go.

If he can find us another Mika Biereth, I'm OK with that. I doubt it's too difficult for a scout to identify individuals that suit different managers' preferences, so while I'm not against a change, I'm not sure it would make a whole lot of difference. Especially with the data driven approach clubs like to take these days.
