Yes defensive mistakes cost us. But grand scheme of things second best team in the country. That defence of ours has been preforming well recently. And if we get a positive reaction on Friday this game will be forgotten about quickly. Exactly. They pumped Hibs 4-1 at Pittodrie about a month ago. Yesterday has no bearing on our league campaign, nor does it necessarily show a massive gulf between us and Premiership teams. It was a disappointing performance and result away from home against a pretty decent Aberdeen side. If we do go up this year hardly anyone will even remember who put us out the Scottish Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our old board were shocking when it came to realise players but they did save the club. Gilmour had no idea about moving on players. To their credit they did secure a 33% sell-on clause for John McGinn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Div Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 No windfall on Kenny unfortunately as the sell on % is on profit only. Dons paid us roughly £200K and seem to be selling him for same so we will get 10% of f**k all! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great business by the old board who altho saved us in 98 they relegated us in 2014/15 when frankly their leadership of our club was absolutely horrendous. An appointment of a manager soon after tommy left would have helped and not selling kenny on last day of the window. Ok he had an agreement but given the clubs position surely we could have tried to hold on to him. The old board did much good but let's not forget the club was in poor shape not all that long ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never forget who put us out the Irn Bru Cup this Season.. Also, the cnuts who knocked out the Scottish Cup in 2006, when we won the Title. Motherwell in 1977 and Aberdeen in 2000.

No cnut in 1987 2006 was very different though as it was a quarter final away to a club who were a league below us and both of the ugly sisters were gone from an early stage. It was a real missed opportunity. It doesn't reflect on that league winning team or taint any memories of the season other than wondering what might have been. Aberdeen in 2000 though? No issue with it whatsoever. Just like I've no issue with Saturday or getting beat with an experimental team against Raith earlier in the season.

That’s the last distraction out of the way for us and we can now fully focus on winning this league. The pundits and the media all expect Dundee Utd to go on and win it so I would use that as an extra motivation . How we’ve performed in the cups will have no bearing on our league form. Felt we were swept aside very easily and have seen that kind of performance pop its head up now and then , Morton , Dunfermilne, Dumbarton, Dundee United. Not trying to be too critical would just like to know the cause don' mind losing as long as we play as best we can we did not in these games. For me Hill could be the answer to help stop the off games a tough ball wining midfielder he must start against Dunfermilne. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the team needed any extra motivation then this should be it. I highly doubt they do as JR will be telling them to forget all about the cup it was a free game albeit a disaster. Take each game as it comes and don't look to far ahead UTD will be putting pressure on us and i expect it to go right to the wire. As i said earlier positive reaction and a much better preformance at EEP needed first and foremost. the rest will take care of it's self. We seen enough nightmare to get too ahead of ourselves and i doubt the manager will have them thinking about anything bar Friday night 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can imagine him starting in the away games, especially against top-half opposition; maybe an option from the bench in the home games. Not seen enough to know what he's like creatively, but we have enough going forward in this team to be able to afford one less creative midfielder. He was a fair fucking size, mind - exactly what we need in the middle of the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AW saint Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I would rather win the game against the pars than the Aberdeen game. We need to focus on the league. If we are to lose any game I was happy it was not in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry Saint Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Jack Ross, Paul Hartley and Jim Goodwin..? Bungling burglars?https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/bungling-masked-burglars-caught-less-14187701 I certainly hope not. There's been no theft at St Mirren since Riyaid Mahrez nicked a bike to escape us. And when Jens Paeslack stole a watch. Oh, and when we stole Lee Bullen's title in 2000. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its difficult to take posters on that site seriously when you see the likes of Shull trolling his fellow fans, and getting loads of bites. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
