  1. Still showing on Sky Sports Football's YouTube channel.
  2. This was my first ever game when they used to give free tickets to schools. I also got another ticket a few weeks later and we conceded in the first minute against Dundee United. I'm amazed that I stuck with us tbh.
  3. I can see offers coming in for Bair in the summer. Some English League 1 jobbers will take a punt on him. In which case, I'd like to wish him nothing but misery when he then moves to St Mirren in the summer of 2025 and I hope they get the St Johnstone version of Bair.
  4. Utter shite yet again. Pitch will no doubt be used as an excuse. Never mind that both teams have to play on it.
  5. Leverkusen winning and Bayern losing. If it stays like this, Leverkusen are 1 win from the title. Harry Kane .
  6. There's a channel on YouTube which is the UK equivalent. Folk with dashcams are amongst the worst offenders. It's as if they feel that having a camera means they can do no wrong. I used to work in insurance and it was unbelievable the amount of folk who would send in dashcam footage of an accident which showed they were the one at fault.
  7. He'll easily be a millionaire despite playing 3 games of football in as many years (all in the 2020/21 season). Fair play. Toss up between Gillespie, Randolph and Ruddy for best keepers we've had in recent times. Gillespie would be a very decent keeper at English Championship level but you can't grudge him getting silly money for doing f**k all other than training at the club he grew up supporting.
  8. Was swaying back towards "Kettlewell out" at half time but after managing to score a goal and get a point against this St Mirren team (the greatest St Mirren team since last season) I feel he has to be given freedom of the town of Motherwell. All hail Kettlewell.
  9. Good to see we've used the international break to work on something we've been shite at all season. In fact, wait a minute...
  10. Kalvin Phillips seems to have been a rotten signing for West 'Am. Admittedly I don't see much of them but when I do he seems to be giving away penalties, gifting goals or getting sent off.
  11. Wondered how long it would be before this thread turned to shite. 2 pages is 1 more than I expected.
  12. An utter c**t of a guy. Genuinely wouldn't tire of punching his stupit face.
  13. I missed our last cup win by 4 months on account of not being born. Any final we've made since has been against the arse cheeks and we've simply not turned up. Making both cup finals in 17/18 is probably as good a chance as we'll ever get. We were cracking in both cups thst season and in any other year would have won at least 1 of them, I reckon. But typically we came up against Celtic's "invincible" team and came up short. I always thought that there was a 50/50 chance between us winning a cup and getting relegated. I now feel that relegation is more likely in the short to medium term and, that being the case, any cup win is likely to be off the table altogether.
  14. I'd forgot Manzinga even existed. He seems to have carved out a half decent career for himself. Currently playing in the K-League so fair play to him. Would Mandron be in with a shout of our Theo Bair award? Was a bit of a donkey with us (albeit got a couple of goals) yet I feel like St Mirren fans really like him.
  15. I know it's a friendly but so far we look every bit as good as the Netherlands. Appreciate they're maybe not the Netherlands team of once before but they'll still be eyeing the latter stages of the Euros.
  16. Hearts is an ideal move from Spittal's point of view and is exactly the type of move I'd imagine most of us thought he'd make. Bigger club, bigger wages and doesn't need to move far. Mind St Mirren thought they'd be signing him .
  17. My view on VAR, which has probably already been said, is that it's mostly utter shite. Goal line technology improved the game and VAR for black and white decisions (e.g. - offsides) would be fine. Where it falls down massively is when it comes to objective decisions such as Theo's handball at the weekend. The poor standard of refs we have up here were getting a lot wrong pre-VAR but you could just about give them the benefit of the doubt (sometimes) given that they only had one look and a split second to make a decision. We're now in a situation where officials are getting multiple views of things and are STILL making awful decisions. To be honest I'm surprised more refs (not just in Scotland) aren't calling for VAR to be binned as in the eyes of many it leaves them with no excuse for some of the decisions being made on a weekly basis.
  18. Agreed. Finances aside, even 10-15 years ago it would sound ridiculous to even suggest that Dundee United would one day become a feeder side for the likes of Brighton or Brentford. Likewise Hibs with Bournemouth. Unfortunately this is the way the game is going.
  19. I would (and probably will) buy my next car without seeing it. Been a few years since I bought a car and with the way prices have gone since then I don't see that I'll have any choice other than to widen the net. Won't be any older than 3 years old and if it comes with a service history and some sort warranty I don't think I'd be too worried about not viewing it beforehand. As others have said, a decent description and a good amount of photos would suggest to me it's an honest sale.
