djchapsticks Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Didn't see a thread so might as well start it. This early on the season, we're now in 'must win' territory for our new gaffer. He has to get this monkey off his back and soon. September is going to be a really tough month and we can't continue dropping soft points and playing badly. Hopefully there will be two new signings in the squad on Saturday in the shape of Lawrence Shankland and Andy Webster. That being said, I'd like another creative midfielder before close of play in this window as we look painfully short of creativity. I'd like us, for once, to get our foot on the ball and dictate the tempo of the match for the first time in Murray's tenure. We look completely flustered and uncomfortable in possession. That's something that we have to work on and strive to improve on. The optimist that usually resides at the start of the season remains and I'm going to go for 2-0 Saints comfortably. Hopefully.

andylivi1 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 That's not something we do.You've not played us in recent times.On the plus side New St Mirren park is the only professional ground I've not been too in Scotland so looking forward to ticking that final ground off my list....don't know why I do it to myself. Suggestions for parking ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side New St Mirren park is the only professional ground I've not been too in Scotland so looking forward to ticking that final ground off my list....don't know why I do it to myself. Suggestions for parking ? I doubt there will be much of a crowd, so you'll get parked near the ground no problem. If you stick to the west side of the ground the street parking is pretty safe. The secure car park is £4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoobahabba Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Doubt we'll get anything here. St Mirren will be keen to get their first win, they have a stronger squad than us and they're playing at home. Hopefully the players have a bit more belief than I do!

Coventry Saint Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Met a Livvy fan on the train on the way back from the 2013 Cup Final. Decent chap; he was very pleased we'd beaten Hearts. I will therefore assume all your fans are decent. Keep up the good work. I rarely predict a Saints win, but I think we'll edge this 1-0. I'd like us, for once, to get our foot on the ball and dictate the tempo of the match for the first time in Murray's tenure. We look completely flustered and uncomfortable in possession. That's something that we have to work on and strive to improve on. It's enough to make you long for the days of Lennon's 'tippy-tappy shite' . We may have lacked a cutting edge, but at least we had players who could hold onto the ball. Of course, having Gowser in the team was always going to help with that, too.

sergie's no1 fan Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 It seems the Dumbarton fans "fears" about Murray have came true. Obviously not writing him off after a few games. Murray likes his teams to play deep and sit off the opposition. Not what we have been used to over the years but our pressing "high tempo passing style" didn't exactly work for us barring 1 season and a historic cup win. If we are going direct to Thommo and by passing the midfield then drop Carswell and play Gallagher up beside him. I'd love to see McMullan in a more central role too. He seems wasted out on the right. Give McLear a shot and push McMullan up beside or in behind Thommo as an alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 New St Mirren Park does not exist. We play at St Mirren Park. Just like Blue Vermin F. C. dinnae exist, although The Newcunto F. C. are the tribute act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your mob couldn't beat a rank Saints team that was down to men for over 30 mins. Come back when you's have won the thing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Hopefully young Jordan Stewart is OK. Ambulance rushed to the ground just after the final whistle. A fucking horrific piece of thuggery by Danny Mullen who by that point could have already been off the park. Honestly as disgusting a tackle I've seen since Peter MacDonald and Tokely before him. Oh and class all round by Burchill claiming it was his own fault for trying to keep the ball and by the Livingston supporters to applaud the vile little b*****d for doing it.

You're team gets a great result away to Queens tonight, and you're on talking about St.Mirren.Edited to include: I hope "Gary Glitt" is some joke that's going over my head, because if it's trying to suggest Goodwin is like Gary Glitter then it's utterly chronic patter. For a start there's been about a million famous paedophiles who've been outed since Paul Gadd. You could have at least made a shite joke up to date.

And since we are due to beat Livi on Saturday I thought I'd have a look on here to see what was said about them. If that's all right with you, of course. And re the Goodwin thing - I remarked on the Morton - St Murn thread last week that his facial hair made him a ringer for Gary Glitter, and that's why I mentioned it again. Dirty bugger that he his, it was a comment about Goodwin's appearance, not a reference to what Gadd or any other paedophiles did. Got it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Mirren are playing Livingston on Saturday...not Morton. That's why you're in the St. Mirren vs Livingston match thread, you complete moon unit.
