The St. Mirren FC 2023/24 thread
Doakes replied to djchapsticks's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
I'd like a quality left winger - would be good to have the option of having pace down the left. Kiltie does a good job but his best work is done in central areas. If we had Tanser and a left winger overlapping we could seriously cause opposition managers a headache Someone like Lewis McCann, Matty Kennedy or Scott Tiffoney In dreamland I would take Youan from Hibs -

Hibernian v St.Mirren - League Cup QF
Doakes replied to Lyle Lanley's topic in Domestic Cup Football
I have zero confidence that we will get a result - mainly because my head tells me we should have confidence - which historically, has ended in anguish -
Treating the entire Scotland support as one entity is a bit naive. You get folk that go to every game home and away - you get folk that just bought a ticket because it was a big occasion, you get folk who treat it as a night out and get right on it, you get folk who go with their families. Just worry about yourself and let police/stewards do their job if it's required Away from home is a bit different as you're part of a travelling group abroad

Batshit Mental Away Supporter Rules

All jokes aside, it seems that there has been a dedicated effort by some of those in positions of power/influence - to make life difficult for football supporters. When was the last time there was widescale violence at a football match in Scotland? Rangers v Hibs cup final? I guess if you've never followed football, you read some of the clickbait headlines about a small skirmish and assume that football fans are marauding around Scotland torching towns and smashing up pubs... I've rarely been to a pub on our supporters bus that hasn't greeted us warmly. They are always glad of our arrival and generally it's a polite and friendly experience. I guess the least nefarious way of looking at it is that those in the positions of power/influence need to do something to justify their job role, and football supporters are an easy target. The skeptical, conspiracy theorist part of my brain points to the fact that governments have been becoming more and more authoritarian over the past decade, and football supporters make up a large percentage of the working class population that could pose a threat to them, if club supporters came together to resist them. Unsure which version is closer to the truth -

On the stadium, I love it as it is. It has improved so much over the last few years. One thing I would like to see is something at the end of each stand , perhaps an image - maybe some Paisley pattern or something that represents the town/team. -

St Mirren - v - Aberdeen 27 August
Doakes replied to Doonhame Buddie's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Wasn't much, saw a bit of a scuffle as I was walking through the carpark towards Feegie but nothing overly serious. Thought the atmosphere was pretty good inside the ground and Aberdeen fans I met were a friendly enough bunch A few points Aberdeen looked no better than they did last season. Robson's interview after the game was a bit bizarre, can't see him lasting too long. Duk in particular is shite Miovski should have been booked for his celebration, he knew it was a double hit and so did Hemming. VAR had already wasted about 20-25 mins of the game so taking another few minutes to get that decision right would have been the right call. Not sure why Beaton didn't have a look, especially for a game deciding decision like that Robinson spoke well after the game. Have been critical of him in the past but no question that he's getting the best out of a small squad. We played some tidy football so as long as we can keep the squad fit, we'll do alright -
