    You can likely add Jimmy Sanderson and Owen Coyle to that list of likely signings under MacDonald as well. MacDonald might have been a superb manager for us but then again he might not have been given that David Hay on paper certainly also made sense but was an utter disaster. He'd been a success everywhere he'd been until that point but MacDonald had also made a consistent success of things at Hearts.

    Think the seeds of our downfall had probably been sewn by that point and any manger coming in would have been up against it.

    We’ll never know but it’s  defo a what might have been

    Hay achieved most of his “success” at Celtic whereas McDonald achieved his success at Hearts (at least initially) on a shoestring.

    He signed guys like Jardine, Levein, Whittaker, Berry, Black, Clark & Colquhoun to compliment John Robertson and Gary Mackay. Genius signings. 
     

    When Hay arrived, he had big money to spend and spent the majority on his ex Celtic chums, Aitken, Baillie, Reid & Elliot as well as Charnley. He failed to bring in a striker.

    He inherited a few decent players, Money, McWhirter, Black, McGowne, Martin (there’s a half decent defence right there), Lambert, Torfason, Shaw. even Stickroth &. Kinnaird.


    Indeed, Shaw turned out to be a half decent striker with Partick & Dundee and Hay gave him away as part of the Elliot / Charnley deal. He then had to sell Brian Martin to balance the books after signing Lex Baillie. What a disaster.

    Always felt that St Mirren should have appointed Alex McDonald as manager instead of Davie Hay.

    Whereas Hay sent in a professional dossier when he applied, McDonald just sent a one liner saying he applied for the job. Hay then talked a good game in the interview and got the job.

    His appointment was a total disaster that took us years to recover from whereas McDonald went on to have a decent run of success at Airdrie.

    I mean, yous probably had Alan Gow too at some point, lets be honest, who hasn't.

    Also, overall that's a pretty poor list of players no matter how you frame it. Apart from the obvious ones.

    The St. Mirren FC 2023/24 thread

    On our last trip to Fir Park, a couple of Trevor Carson howlers cost us a defeat

    Fast forward to this season and some great goalkeeping from Zach Hemming helped to win all 3 points. There ain’t no way Carson would have made those saves that Hemming made, he’s too small for a start!

    I was probably in the minority but I never rated Carson, he was just average. When he left and Hemming arrived I was quietly confident this would be an upgrade. And so it’s proving.

    Hemming > Carson

    Erm, naw Jock, it was their previous away league game, the 5-2 humping at Love St less than 3 months earlier.

    That 5-2 victory over Hearts clinched European qualification

    I know a few St. Mirren fans personally, mainly through work.

    Each and every one of them are, to a man, absolutely sound individuals, good company on a night out and generally of sane mind.

    The ones I've encountered on here however, totally shatter that illusion, given that they mainly appear to be mostly bellend c***s. 🤷‍♂️

    This is a typical year jerked post from a well fan having difficultly with the natural order being restored

    Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons

    Comedy stuff guys

    You may may well have a decent season but face it, we’ve beaten you home and away

    Its up to us to split the OF. And let’s face it, you guys have always been Rangers fans without the bus fare.

    We’re actually next door to Ibrox yet we hate them - nobody disputes we hate them - but you guys are total apologists

     I was once in the Motherwell end at Ibrox and the sectarian abuse you guys gave to one of your own players - won’t name him at this point - it was something I’d never experienced until this then and and never have since

    Let me hear a well fan try to justify that

    Motherwell v Saints 16 Sept 2023

    In my lifetime I’ve seen St Mirren win more major trophies than Motherwell. 
     

    And that’s despite Motherwell’s financial doping, League reconstruction, stopping clubs being. promoted, not paying bills, screwing local businesses.

    I’ve had this “joke” about there being more St Mirren fans in Fir Park in 1977 than there have ever been Motherwell fans… but in reality, there were probably 50% + more St Mirrren fans in Fir Park that day than there have ever been Motherwell fans.

    You guys need to accept that the current situation is the way it should be

    The St Mirren goal was offside, Motherwell made the best chances, Motherwell played the better football, Motherwell smacked the bar, Motherwell played some nice triangles in midfield, the Motherwell manager says he would have been gutted even if his side had only got a draw, and even the St Mirren manager says Motherwell probably had the best of it over the piece.

    At this point I really should finish with something a lot more mature and grown-up than this….

    0-1. GIRFUY.

    😜

    That sort of shit makes it so much better 😂
