Coventry Saint

Watching the end of the Dons/Celtic game the other day, despite what a Celtic win meant for 5th place, I still found myself wanting Aberdeen to win. It's just impossible to root for them on any level.

Fucking clowns. They could save themselves the effort if only he'd been involved with their club previously.

Need some St Johnstone or Motherwell fans on here to come and drop the facts about St Mirren's finances, IMO.

I think there was something about us electing to pay it back as a lump sum, though I read that on here so could be bollocks. If it's interest free I can't understand why we'd choose that option.

Happy to take the hit like a man.

Third post in, in response to a clearly glib remark about it being a hipster appointment. A few posts then follow, arguing against something that nobody except Aberdeen fans mentioned in this thread. If constant discussion about the same old candidates is frustrating, then probably easier not to keep mentioning them. I'd also argue that the only non-Dons fans who've suggested your club employs the likes of those mentioned are absolutely at it, and only want to see your revolving door kept busy. I absolutely don't hope Thelin is a success for you, but at least you've tried to do something different.

Which one?

It's not exactly the same as what you're asking, but Dundee FC haven't won the Scottish Cup since 1910 (Nineteen-Ten). That's an astonishing 114 years.

Aberdeen fans in this thread going for some textbook strawman arguing here. Bless them.

These decisions have a lasting impact.

This is why Levein earns the big bucks.

Admirable determination by many on here to make this about St Mirren. Happy to continue this on a St Mirren thread if you want.

While it's mildly insulting, it's also true. We can earn the right to not be talked about like that by scoring more than one goal against either of the top two across an entire season.

Me too.

Didn't realise he was a military guy, tbh.

He was first choice all along, I've heard.

I keep hoping it'll be Aberdeen going down, but if they keep managing to turn those Ls into Ds like they did yesterday and against Livingston then they should just about have enough to stay clear of the playoff.

Picking three for that, I'd go Gogic, Olusanya and possibly Bolton. Taylor on the bench. Hemming has got the height but I don't think he's got the pure strength you'd need for mud wrestling.

I wish I had an opinion of you that I could retort with.

It'll probably end up getting played at our place anyway.

It's probably ok to stop talking about Schroedinger's double now.

No need to over-reach, tbh. It just needs to be able to withstand a spot of rain.

FFS is this still going on? Dons may as well skip this appointment altogether and move onto the successor to Warnock's successor.

I'd say the turnaround beats Main. Main was a waste of a jersey while he was injured, but his pedigree suggests plenty of managers have seen a footballer in there. His turnaround was remarkable but felt about right given his relationship with Robbo. Olusanya was literally going to get the boot and that was almost certainly that for him as a pro footballer. He screwed the nut, listened to the advice, and has become a starting forward for us. He'll never get to the highest level - I think we're the best club he'll play for regularly - but you've got to admire the boy's attitude.

Ours should have been awarded regardless of what happened in the Rangers game. It was a very clear penalty.
