So currently rumours circulating are;
Reid to Palace
Erhahon to Lincoln
Baccus to Wigan
Tony Watt on loan to Saints
Thierry Small on loan to Saints
Next 32 hours going to be very lively at this rate!If all the "outgoings" came to fruition we'd probably need some sort of CM cover as that's two first team starters and a sub away from that area of the pitch.

I'm honestly struggling to remember any time we've behaved like that for near 90 minutes - can you remind me?
When did you last have a player sent off after 7 minutes, that’ll be your answer

Goodwin's tenure as Aberdeen manager found black ice and he's now frantically oversteering to recover the situation that is escalating fast out of his control.
This isn't going to end well as he would need to display managerial skills, that from the evidence of his whole managerial career, he doesn't seem to possess, to start moving forward and out of this rut.
I would imagine Cormack will hope that six points from the next two home fixtures will calm the growing displeasure of Goodwin amongst the support but even in the ideal scenario, it looks like he'll be plugging a hole when the dam has already burst.
With the fixtures then taking us to Hampden, Darvel, Hearts and Hibs he seems to be heading into a minefield without a plan other than to sign better defenders in the January window.
Furthermore, I can't listen to his interviews any longer so I'm not sure how the players can cope with him on a daily basis. There's something unlikeable and self-serving about him.
There's no room for error now for Goodwin. What should've been a straightforward couple of home games now see the vultures circling around Pittodrie as they see a manager on his last legs.
I'm not defending him and I wasn't one of "the gutted" when he left St Mirren however you hired him on the back of a run that had got us out of a rut worse than the one you're in just now.

We have sold out most games this season.
With the train strike does anyone know if any trains will be running from Central Station to Paisley Gilmour Street?
Services running as normal up until 3pm apparently.....better hope there's not too much injury time!!

Another resignation from the SMiSA board with chairman Kenny Docherty stepping down.
Eddie Devine replacing him.
https://www.smisa.net/news-archive/5-general-smisa-news/339-smisa-update
That's been some amount of churn in SMiSA recently.
It's a little concerning the amount of recent upheaval when added to the "doom" rumour mill....it might be a decent idea for the SMiSA Board to put out a newsletter updating the membership on the current situation plus a wee piece on short, medium and long term goals to put things back on an even keel.

The game wasn't sold out M8 that's the restriction,you can't just walk up and go to the game any more.
For either home or away fans M8, your assertion was how difficult it was for "away fans"

You have highlighted one of the many problems an away fan has to deal with,moving the game for Tv,restricted allocation, the lack of a walk up turnstile,proof of where you live, Can you tell me any other sport that makes it harder to see the event?
Other than the restricted allocation bollocks you keep trotting out there is no difference between the situations for the home and/or away fan

Conor Newton is always one of those guys I wonder if he knows what a legend he is at the club. He's probably the guy from that team you hear about the least, yet he was the man who won us the cup. I don't know if this makes sense, but guys like Thommo, DVZ, Samson, Goodwin, Mair, McAusland, McGowan have always been about since then, McLean, McGinn and Dummett as well, still high profile players and have been about the club, and been at games a few times since. Isma and Carey get linked with a move back every transfer window, but Newton there's never anything. Scored the goal that won us the cup, was one of the best players on the pitch that day, played for us for another season, then dissapeared.
We should put him in the hall of fame or something.
Conor Newton was interviewed in the 1877 Club last year, I think he was left in no doubt re the esteem he is held in although I agree in general with your point...it may be something to do with the fact that he is still playing, even at a lower level that has limited his visits. I often wondered where his career may have gone had he come to us permanently rather than Rotherham.

Brophy and Tait available for the game.
Personally think Brophy shouldn't be near the starting XI - offered bugger all against Hibs. Grieve to start with Kiltie playing off him (if he's fit). Pop Ronan on the right wing with Jones on the left. Gogic starting over Erhahon.
Brophy wasn't the issue.....there was absolutely no attempt to play to his, or our attacking, strengths. Smashing a ball as far forward as you can with a 40 yard gap between forwards and attackers isn't a universally accepted tactic!!

How is it mental to suggest that a manager who had taken 13 points from his 5 games in charge after the winter break might have managed more than the 3 points from 8 games Robinson has delivered since?
Bugger off you with your common sense!!

Something's falling down with the English teams; I'm intrigued to know what it is. That's now Boro, Sheff Utd, Bham and Swansea that have apparently been very keen (plus there was a wild link with, IIRC, Watford in the summer), while our demands don't seem outlandish. You then consider that Aberdeen tabled an offer then withdrew because of interest south of the border.
I think his agent keeps bluffing then getting found out.
I will say this: I'm far more relaxed now about him potentially going at the end of the window. Based on Kiltie's last two games, we are under no pressure to replace McGrath so if he leaves late, it's fine.
I'd agree in essence CS, however if we receive any funds for McGrath we want them in time to be able to use them to boost other areas of the squad.

Only just caught up with Jim's interview there. Delighted to hear him talking about that wingback system in the past tense; he did say he may use it again, but I'm convinced this is the right move for us with the personnel we've got available. Tait, McCarthy & Henderson are all good players at this level and they were all virtually unpickable in a 3-5-2. Fraser is better as a RB; I'm happy with Tanser being less attacking. He tends to deliver his crosses from deep anyway so it may not even stifle his game. Even McAllister stands more chance of getting a game now.
Only person I can see missing out here is maybe Millar.
If Tanser isn't attacking he's a passenger and we can't afford a passenger at Full Back, from what I've seen of him (every game this season) I think he's defensively weak......St Johnstone stopped playing him when they played a back four I believe.

Eh? We didn’t deserve a win and St.Mirren absolutely merited the draw.
But sticking in a postponement request you know you wont get I thought initially for me seemed a bit pointless, then I saw the St.Mirren team line up and it was a fair better than I thought it would be. However all the pressure is off St.Mirren now anyway and for Celtic to win rather heavily after a load of games and 11 players out. Park the bus and let the pressure on them build even more if the dont score early. Or have I given Goodwin way too much credit for this?
Nah, you’re just making a clown of yourself!!

I wasn’t there, but I thought the issue was to do with the QR codes and absolutely nothing to do with vaccine passports?
I was there and it had absolutely F*** All to do with Vaccine Passports, there were a few people in our queue with QR Code issues but they were steamin' and as always too many people turning up too late to get in................nothing but cheap opportunism in that Tweet

Brilliant result for you chaps last night, it must be amazing to be a fan of The Saintees right now............I still remember how good a feeling it was when we were competitive against the likes of St Etienne (they were a top drawer side at the time), Feyenoord (Gullit and Cruyff) and drawing away at Mechelen (who won the Cup Winners Cup that season).
Run with it for as long as you can as unfortunately it doesn't last forever, however any youngsters who are starting out on their football journey will be fans for life on the back of it.

Fitzpatrick wouldn't have got anywhere near being CEO if it wasn't for his pal Gordon Scott giving him the job.
Nice guy and all that, but he just doesn't have the ability that Brian Caldwell had in doing the job.
Except it was Stewart Gilmour that appointed him !!
I notice you have already corrected yourself

I suspect the concourse issue will be the reasoning behind it - I would imagine your best bet of getting a reply would be if the BBC Scotland reporter at the game on Saturday manages to get an interview with one of the board.
Incidentally, does anyone know if match day hospitality is allowed? They don't make use of the concourses within the main stand there so if allowed they should be able to house some supporters and it would have pub-like restrictions indoors? Or has that succumbed to the red zone as well?
We sometimes sponsor matches through my work, we got an email today offering the St Johnstone game for Hospitality.

We explicitly said we offered Lafferty, Kiltie and Pinnock something, while for Broadfoot it said something like "he is considering his future". A shame about Kiltie going (I think to St Johnstone), and Lafferty was very expected. Pinnock would have done a job, but Broadfoot leaving is good because I think we need a fresh start in terms of the "leaders" of the squad.
St Mirren have definitely spoken to Kiltie and discussed terms but Bolton and Doncaster are also in for him.....I'd think it's likely St Johnstone will have spoken to him too.

I see the confusion now. Despite lots of people think it should be, deliberate handball is not usually a yellow card. The only real reasons you'll get one are handling the ball to try to score a goal (ie punching it into the net) or to stop a promising attack. Lafferty's incident was neither of those, he was trying to bring the ball under control.
https://www.theifab.com/laws/chapter/32/section/94/
Surely covered in the very first point, he attempted to deceive the referee.....although they give a couple of examples it's not exactly an exhaustive list and he'd already been spoken to by the ref fir a couple of incidents after his yellow. That said he's a great player at our level.
