Where's this Watt chat coming from? Is it just common sense because he's in danger of spending a full season somewhere, which would be weird for him? I like Penney, but does he not hate Scotland?

Or Sam Campbell's? It's a tricky one.

Where did you see that?

If we're serious about attracting investment, then we need to be serious about how we go about it. A tongue in cheek hail-mary video isn't going to cut it. Some actual information on the benefits and what the club means, and would do with additional investment, and actually targeting people, is the only way to do this.

I watched it in bits, with the sound off and subtitles because I'm at work. My colleague actually noticed my despair and asked me what's up. I shared the video, so we got some American exposure. He thought it was cringe too. I also sent it to my wife just there (also american), she feels so bad for me, you'd think my gran just died. This is St Mirren opening a Celtic shop in their stand levels.

Fire them all. Into the sun.

Was interesting that in the interview DW talked about our player recruitment success stats, and how comparable they are to other clubs. We are always going to be more critical of our own recruitment, because we remember all our shite players, but only ever remember the good players from other teams. It's the same as when old firm fans go on about so and so being a good wee player, because they played well in a backs to the wall draw five years ago. Jump on any other fans forum and you'll find all clubs have a bunch of shite signings every year. When the clubs throwing around tens of millions don't have a great strike rate, it's hard to expect the ones fishing down the back of the couch for pennies to do much better.

He was really coming onto a game before he got injured at tynecastle. This has been the story of his career so far, small runs of games broken up by injuries. He has all the physical attributes, but makes too many mistakes on the ball. He will be just fine as a bench player for the rest of our season, in place of one of the 4 weans we currently put on there. And with his much heralded two-footedness, it's like we've just signed two players!

That's definitely a picking which bollock to get booted in scenario.

Disappointing to not hold on for the win, but to only concede 2 goals with that defensive performance was an achievement in itself. I know some of that is down to injuries/suspensions, etc, but we were very shaky. Great that Bair continues to score, sometimes it just takes a purple patch from a striker to get you out of trouble. Then we can sell him to Aberdeen, and he won't score again.

Maguire has minutes for us this season, not so sure about McGinley. Maguire on the bench instead of one of the weans that's never getting on isn't terrible at least.

Say anything you want about the SK regime, but his aptitude for moving players on when they aren't working out is very impressive. He's the reverse Gannon.

Theo f'n Bair.

Enjoy your new years celebrations everyone, and stay safe. May 2024 be the year of Theo Bair.

Great to get the win. Livi are absolutely woeful and I'm disappointed how hard we made it in the second half, but understandable considering the run we are on. Getting the pish ripped out you by Theo Bair must sting.

I don't know how much it costs to maintain the women's team, but ill take a guess that it doesn't move the needle much as far as the men's team recruitment goes. While we should always be assessing our budgets, I don't think its fair to blindly suggest scrapping the woman's team without any info to back it up. As said above there could be funding implications, as well as engagement benefits and growing the reach of our club. There is also the community aspect of the club that I think this feeds into. I'd hate for us to be the kind of club/fan base that ditches its values at the first sign of adversity.

We kept a clean sheet at a very difficult venue and generated more than enough chances to win the game, most of them coming when we had 1 up front. We weren't perfect, but we were well organized and fought until the final whistle, finishing in the ascendancy. Whether SK is manager in the new year remains to be seen, but blaming him for today's result not being a win is a stretch. Who other teams are bringing in to manage them isn't filling me with confidence that we can find someone better either.

Would a new manager make biereth, Slattery, spittal, and bair all score the one on one's they missed? Whatever mistakes he made previously, it's hard to blame the manager for only getting a point at St Mirren. If we had sacked kettlewell last week and today's game was the first for the new manager, most folk would have been positive.

Good point on paper, but we have to take those chances.

Should be a good 15 mins in the second half then.

Nothing sticking for spittal today. Problem is we don't have other options in there, unless we go 2 up top again. Davor telling the guy to get the fuck up made my heart swell.

The latest WS email has a link to send in questions for the upcoming board meeting, so dust off your typing fingers.

I'd also go with Paton in for Obika. Our best performances were with one striker, and Beireth can handle that. Also, with two wingbacks with actual pace I think it will be more effective.
