It was Alan Adamson, with Jack Ross as his assistant, that won promotion. Murray saved us from certain relegation when he took over (only 5 points on the board at Christmas) in our first season up. In his second season we almost made the promotion play-offs and in his final season, the year Hearts, Hibs and Rangers were in the league, he had us safe from relegation with 6 games to go.
My mistake on the detail 🖐
I knew he had had a successful time at Dumbarton in some capacity. Cheers

I don't know what is weird about it? It is part of the game. Some manager's get second chances at bigger clubs others don't. Murray may if he gets success (promotion) with Airdrie. Probably best if you go on another hiatus if you think I am stirring things up tbqhwy.
I just don't think you've answered the question directly about what Thomson has over Murray that makes him such a better candidate. If you think one year's experience on an astronomical budget trump's Murray's experience to date then that's where I have a right to scrutinise your logic, but not dismiss it.

Pretty much. It's a hard game if you have "failed" at a higher level.
Presume you are just skulking about other club's threads to stir it up. I'm glad I ended my 5 odd year long hiatus from this forum to be encountered by such weird logic. As much as I respect your opinion.

As I said, Thomson hasn't blown his chance at a full-time club yet.
So a 41 year old Ian Murray has "blown his chance" at a full time club. Do you think it's as black and white as that? Kevin Thomson has done great at Kelty but his budget probably just about surpasses the combined total of his competitors. I'll ask (for the third time), why does his achievement propel him so much higher in the reckoning than Murray, given the latters recent successes with Airdrie, not to mention his minor miracle of getting Dumbarton promoted to the Championship.

I assume it is because he bombed at full-time level with St Mirren? His stock may rise if he gets Airdrie promoted. I doubt Hibs will have even considered him.
He's full time at Airdrie though, all be it working with a hybrid system. Like I said I'm not suggesting he should be a favourite I'm just wondering what Thomson has over him.

Apologies for throwing in a serious suggestion, but why is Ian Murray not in the running?
This has been bugging me too. I'm not saying Murray's necessarily going to be a frontrunner but why did Kevin Thomson (one years experience on a gigantic budget) immediately rocket to the top of the favourites list yet Murray (several years experience: promotion, potentially two whilst working on miniscule budgets) is barely even registering in conversations about the job...?

Yep remember singing that, think your words are right too. Good tune.Nice one, cheers for the confirmation. Kudos for the lyrics

This is out of nowhere but I want to put my mind at ease. Few years back I was at a St Mirren game when you had Gavin Reilly. It was during the second half of the season when he'd had a really prolific start then kind of tailed off a bit. You had a song for him, which in my mind was quite memorable, but I've never known if my interpretation is what yous actually sung.
In my head it went:
(To the tune of Give Me Oil in My Lamp)
#Twenty goals twenty goals Gavin Reilly,
Twenty goals twenty goals I say
Twenty goals twenty goals Gavin Reilly
But he scored f**k all in Jan-ua-ry#
Can anyone confirm this was indeed the lyrics or have I made that up? If I have made it up it's not bad and indeed quite fitting for that season.

Previewed here - stuffy draw this one for us: (excuse shameless show plug)

From an outsiders point of view, seems on balance would be a difficult decision to give Young his jotters given recent successes/cup runs. Obviously the form can only go on so long though before a decision is made. Discussed in latest episode: (excuse shameless plug

He has done very well, but I am unsure if he actually wants to be a full-time manager anymore. I think that was the reason he took the coaching gig with us.
However, if he is interested then the job should be his. He has got three wins in a row with a team that looked like it couldn't beat eggs a couple of weeks ago.
Must have got the bug back... Good luck to you, I reckon you're in safe hands

Forgive me if it's been discussed to death to put it simply - if you beat Morton tomorrow are you taking Jim Duffy for the full time gig? Guys on the podcast reckon he's worthy. Also did an Ayr special last week when Hopkin left

Guys on the podcast reckon Keatings will see you 6-10 points this season single-handedly. Over the top or even an underestimation? We know he's a goalscorer but to me I'm not sure if he's had a consistent run now in years...?

Saying on here that yous rely a lot on Morrison. Tend to agree, downturn in form has kind of coincided with his injury.

Determined not to make the same mistake as last season, we all have you guys predicted firmly in the playoffs for this season:

Any of you backing Muzz's shout that QoS will finish just inside the playoffs this season? Lack of players a worry but starting to rack up good signings but looking a mirror image of last season before you ended up finishing the second half of the season strong...
