Also heard that Hibs included the kitman and Potter in the swap deal for McGrath…

Some of the stuff directed at John Needham on Twitter is disgraceful. We’ve got some right bellends in our support.

Yeah, I’d be surprised if Tony is still in the CEO role by Xmas.

More a question for Scottish Power…boom boom. Sure it was two games, so will miss Saturday.

Hard to know if he’s off the boil in our world of fucking hoofball.

Paul McGowan couldn’t kick a football either. Decent player for us though.

Would also suit Jay Henderson more…and a resurrection for Kyle?

I’d disagree on the budget element. He’s brought in a number of players, all of his choice. I don’t see his hands being significantly tied behind his back on that one.

I don’t think there was booing of the players, I think the frustration was directly aimed at Goodwin and for good reason. 0-0 is what you’d expect playing 6 defenders plus Ethan, who’s not exactly famed for being forward thinking. Ethan wasn’t having a good day. Goodwin completely stubborn and didn’t change it. He just made like for like changes too, but what use was that when you still don’t get the ball forward?

Definitely think McGrath will be away in the next week.

Where does he live currently?

Very much this. Kiltie and McGrath are too similar, and neither is ‘box to box’ to play in a 3-5-2. Two wingbacks start really high, so we just bypass the middle of the park and don’t really build anything. It can work, as the Jonnies have proved, but have to have logic and personal to deliver.

After reading the “stewards” thread on BAWA, I’d take a daily RG post over that…

Agree with this. Don’t think we’ve got the players to play that system and it leaves Kiltie being pretty ineffective. Also think McCarthy is our best centre back, don’t think he deserves to be missing out.

Nah, think it’s 3-5-2 with Tait straight replacement for Henderson.

Phone is fine.

Looks like Chris Wreh impressed on trial. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/1548993.stm

The ticket did imply that a mask was to worn at all times. It’s never going to happen, especially in that heat. I listened to Fitzy on the radio (had to fill the time) and was quite surprised by his response, seemed almost defensive. We’ve lost seats as they are using the main stand for the players during the week (ralston being done up) and that’s why. Can’t understand why, it’s not like they are using the same entrance.

Yes, heard similar at junior games close to us. And no masks for supporters.

Slightly concerned yesterday that McGrath was very deep at points of the game. A couple of times Fraser overlapped and McGrath dropped into his space to take the ball. I’d rather McGrath was the one breaking the lines and making that movement.

Highly rated and appears to have done well at Clyde. Not really seen much of him in a Saints shirt to comment, but has had a good reputation coming through the various youth levels.

We’ll see on the £200k. However, we are talking about a club that can’t run a ‘fair’ ticketing scheme for the cup games - literally a 5 minute job on excel.

1,039 allowed in for the Thistle game. Ridiculous.

On the flip side, and I’m sure a statto out there can confirm or not, that McAllister created more ‘key’ chances than any other player in our squad. Found this on Twitter…would need to see the numbers though.

I don’t think anyone is doubting his ability. As you say, he’s represented Scotland at youth level and played a lot of games for his age. However, it’s about moving to that next level and having the desire and mindset to do so. Plenty of great youth players have come and gone without reaching their potential and don’t want Ethan to be one of them. It’s big season or two for him - with us or a ‘bigger’ club.
