    6th November 1985. At home to Hammerby 2nd round, 2nd leg and Frank McGarvy puts us in front in the 21st minute at home...  That's where the story ends and we didnt f**k it up in the dying minutes... Still keeps my awake at night. It was a feeling that came back to me the other week at Rugby Park.

     

    As for the league Cup Final 2010, I don't think I have ever left a game as angry as that... Its still too soon to discuss it on here. 

    Flew back from America for the game, lost in the dying minutes to 9 men, went to my dads birthday party and got goaded all night by a Rangers ‘fan’ who couldn’t find Ibrox with a map, then got up at 4 am to fly to Amsterdam and then a 10 hour flight back to America and back to work on the Tuesday morning.

    I’ve had better weekends.

    Perhaps unpopular opinion here but i would not be pushing the boat out for Gogic.

    He's consistent enough on the whole but he has had far too many enormous and costly brain farts and so many more that he's gotten away with. I'd rather we kept him but I wouldn't be pushing our budget to any extremes to do so.

    It feels like his performance of late has dropped, the man was a rock earlier. Maybe the contract situation, maybe he is carrying a niggle or maybe something else but he does seem to be more prone to an error right now.

    Tordason I have to say that I was genuinely asking a question about are they funded by someone that’s allowed their manager more wiggle room in the transfer market. As a saints fan of 37 years home and away I can assure you I’m delighted at what Stephen Robinson has done for our club. I also think that your language is poor as I’m sure like my son who’s in primary there will be others reading these pages. It was simply a question no nonsense unlike your response mate 

    Since it’s a genuine question then none of it applied to you so in the spirit of it being a fair question. Killie signed very well in the summer and took a chance on some players who had injury issues and other than Kyle, most of them have stayed injury free and yes Billie Bowie is a very wealthy man and a staunch supporter of the club as well as being the majority owner, so no doubt he has injected some financial horsepower to his club.

    Since you were asking an honest question, it is also worth noting Motherwell & Dundee have similar budgets to us and Aberdeen and Hibs have significantly higher budgets, so if it is simply down to finances then we have grossly outperformed them.

    As I say, well done to Del and Kilmarnock for having such a strong season but also well done Robbo for outperforming Hibs, Dundee, Motherwell, Aberdeen, St Johnstone, Ross County and Livingston. 

    All of whom would love to be 5th in the league.

    Saints are going really well. Just wondering what folks think about Kilmarnock? Are they paying much more than we do and is this the reason they have went beyond us this season - I always felt we paid simelar wages when in Top league ? 
     

    Despite some of the Killie fans wanting Del sacked not so long ago, they have a very good manager and they are having a great season!

    Good luck to them………..and I genuinely mean that!

    No reflection on St Mirren football club or Stephen Robinson or anyone else associated with the club. 

    Maybe I am misreading your post but it seems like you are making mischief. 

    If not, I apologize however if you are then go f**k yourself until you get to a fence that says stop, cross the fence and continue fucking yourself.

    Like I said if this was a genuine question then ignore the last sentence 👍

    There is a hard core within our support that seem openly hostile towards Robinson and are looking for any stick to beat him with. Yes a few decisions he makes frustrate me (he has hung Mcmenamin out to dry playing him on the right constantly imo) but his overall record is beyond anything else in generations. I have no idea why the haters seem to hate (possibly not being a "St Mirren" man is all I can think of which in this day and age is beyond laughable) but they certainly seem to seize on every minute thing they can.

    Some of our fans are absolute zoomers who would complain if we won the CL, Eurovision and Crufts.

    Hopefully the Manager etc are giving it the contempt it deserves.
