Wee Jock Poopong McPlop

There used to be a song at Saints park in which the initial reference was to the colours of the two teams they hate and the final line was an offensive reference to the pope and the queen (an updated “king” version wouldn’t be so good for rhyming reasons) It’s also, to be fair, popular at the grounds of other diddy clubs. This is clearly doubly sectarian and the concern is the authorities would see the logic in doubling the punishment

So what you’re saying is that a club not being able to provide a suitable playing surface is a bigger issue than some idiots singing stupid songs. Actually, now that I think about it, maybe the SPFL is on to something here.

Hey. I’ve an IQ of 147 and I listen most evenings. I quite like it. It’s good for a chortle.

If the rain goes off now, might there be a third inspection to consider it going ahead.

Is Gareth Ainsworth being considered

Can any of the in the know guys tell us how much Van Veen is on weekly.

Plastic mud. Looking forward to seeing this.

You could say the same thing about Jamie Langfield.

I see Lewis Morgan came on as a sub today for New York and scored the winner away at Houston. I think he’s good enough for the Scotto squad at the Euros.

Each of the last 2 teams to qualify for the “fifth European spot” have sacked their managers a couple of weeks into the season.

Willie Collum gives a 50/50 decision in favour of St.Mirren Jeez, what a time to be alive.

Obileye…..Obika…. There’s got to be a song in there somewhere.

Celtic fans not convinced by him. One of them said that a condition of the loan should be that he must play against us.

I notice he was a full back. I dunno, but for us I assumed it’d be a striker.

The irony of Aberdeen fans whining about an injury time penalty decision. Have you forgotten about the one you got at Saints park a couple of months ago. And even then your guy hit it twice and the ref still allowed the goal to stand. That deprived us of 2 points that we legitimately won. We were literally cheated out of 2 important points and it was confirmed by the VAR performance review earlier this week.

If and when Stephen Robinson moves on to bigger and better things, we’ll probably poach the Doc from you.

I think the point about Langfield is spot on. Since he came to the club all our goalies have really benefited from working with him. Ask Hladky and Alnwick, both now doing great work in the English championship. Also Carson was in the best form of his life while well into his 30s.

The ref not doing his job that day has cost us our place in the top 2.

Thing is as well, it’s the goalie who commits the offence. Free kick would be about a yard from the post.

Bacchus looking to start a fight there.

When I read the news about Frank McDougall, it occurred to me that he would be in my top 5 players I ever seen in the stripes. That got me thinking, who would the other 4 be, I’ve been watching since the early seventies and the first names that came to me were McGarvey and McAvennie. Hang on, I thought, 3 of my top 5 are Frankie Macs and all of them strikers. There it is, bizarre but true. My other 2 would be Peter Weir and Iain Ferguson.

I enjoyed watching that. 8 goals, 8 different scorers including the current Scotland manager back in his floppy haired youth days. Same again this week please Saintyboys, thanks.

I don’t think any English teams will be looking at him, he was decent at Morecambe without being a shining light. In Scotland, neither Rangers nor Celtic would be interested. Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs might consider him and they are the only teams that could tempt him. Any other Scottish side would be at best a sidesways move. In other words, whenever they’re looking for a new manager in either Edinburgh or Aberdeen, this issue will crop up. Every few months then I would expect.
