  1. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. For people not old enough to have seen Alex Ferguson's St Mirren team, they were like a dirty, cheating version of today's.
  5. This is the same man who, when Dunne intentionally crocked Mika, claimed he didn't mean it.
  6. 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.
  7. Looks like Robinson's teams still haven't earned the right to "play football" Meanwhile, take your pick...
  8. "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.

    Retro Kits

    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.
  11. 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.
  12. So you're prediciting a St Mirren win, then?
  13. Page turned the day he left. Let it go.
  14. 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.
  15. We dodged a bullet as no doubt Rangers would have insisted on jnstallsments and then stiffed us when they were liquidated.
  16. Ben Hall and Henri Anier made up for that shortfall.
  17. No doubt. I'm under no illusion that Miller or Johnston will get any game time, but from a selfish perspective just being in the squad should add a few more quid to Miller's value.
  18. Max Johnston back in the squad too.
  19. He was, but as he was young academy product and under 21 it meant, if the clubs were agreeable, we could make that kind of deal I believe. Else, they would use the dreaded formula to give us a development fee. Or I could be a mile oot.
  20. Didn't McCormack make us a few quid too? Kipré did I believe. And a big move for Max Johnston likely will. Not sure about Turnbull.
  21. True about add-ons. I was thinking more about initial fees. I agree 10 million is nothing to EPL clubs, but given that Mika left Arsenal for 4 million there can be quite a of variation in valuations.
  22. 10 million likely too high, but 4 million is defintely too low.
  23. I'm starting to think there must be a version of Winter Wonderland I've never heard of.
