And maybe more importantly, a clever number 9 in terms of link up and bringing others into the game. That will translate well up here. Fletcher is bringing a lot of experience and fair bit of pedigree to Dundee Utd and if he does stay fit (something that was also very questionable when we signed Thommo given his history - a lot of folk forget that nowadays because he was always fit in his first 3 seasons) he's going to be a massive player for them. Put it this way, if I woke up yesterday with Steven Fletcher waving a Saints scarf above his head, you'd have had to peel me off the ceiling. If they do end up supplementing that by signing Gogic and McGrath to add to Levitt, and then replace Siegrest with the not quite as good but still more than acceptable Zander Clark, then they've honestly had a fucking amazing transfer window on paper. Fletcher's 35 now and Thommo was 32 when he signed for us. We got three superb 15+ goal seasons in a row from Thompson. By his fourth season he was 35 and past it, and we got relegated as a result. So yeah, three years ago Fletcher would have been a terrific signing. At 35 though? Not for me, too old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So once again we won’t be able to wear the stripes against these cnuts. Boo. Haven’t seen the Livvy home kit yet, just the white away one with the thick black stripe. Got any pics of their new home one? I thought our away kit was meant to be all-black this coming season. Problems there then.

Munoz Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I imagine Fletcher will still do a job in Scotland, but tbh, I'm not one for an envious sideways glance at other teams signings. I only give a hoot about what we're doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the away kit launched, get the car park passes sorted, get us our new season ticket cards, gie’s a signing, gie’s two signings, get it sorted Kibble, FFS Cheesy. That’ll do for starters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On their shop website they still had last years old black home shirt alongside a white effort that I thought was their new top so my mistake. Hopefully their home top this year is yellow and we are not forced to change when at home. I hate seeing us playing in our away strip at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is black, and their new away kit is actually something Joma could have considered as an option for a home St Mirren kit, then someone in the SPFL bunker needs their stones booted. That would be two seasons in a row no-one there thought to ask them what they planned to wear in Paisley. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 The team wore the red kit 18 times out of 38 league games last season including at least 5 times at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This needs to be our next home kit. Closely followed by us telling Livingston and the SPFL to fcuk off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttocks Brown Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Looking ahead to tomorrow, it might end up being a stroke of luck getting the second strongest seeds in game 1. Ian Campbell is not very happy at having to play so early in July. Says that Arbroath will only have had 4 or 5 training sessions going into the game: https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/3361560/arbroath-pre-season-preparations-premier-sports/ In last Saturday's 1-1 draw with Montrose they started with 3 trialists and only had 4 subs. Apparently, a number of their first team were on holiday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel we could maybe do with someone who can score relatively regularly from midfield as we don't really seem to have replaced the goals of Ronan. O'Hara has scored a few in pre-season but has never been that prolific and neither has Kiltie. Doesn't look like it'll happen though given we're still after Gogic or, presumably, someone similar. On a completely separate note, someone has updated Wikipedia with the new squad numbers. No idea if they're accurate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Mirren_F.C.#First-team_squad Edited July 8, 2022 by Stu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddiesaint Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I am keen to see the new away top. I tend to only buy one of the tops at most a season, and I'm holding off. Read a few places the away kit is meant to be cracking too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and Ethan looked a good pairing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
