This is the Callum Davidson effect. Top manager. You’re welcome, Queens Park.

I partly agree with Radford by not being quite on-board with the level of acclaim that Luke Robinson has received. I think he’s a decent player who can fill a couple of positions, and that has been a pleasant surprise to me after an unconvincing start, but I don’t actually think there’s too much between him and Gallacher at LWB.
Eric Nicolson even included him in an article as ‘player of the season’ so far. I’m sorry, but any answer other than ‘Dimitar Mitov’ is utter sacrilege. I think Robinson has a good case for being in the top five, but nothing too crazy.

I hold Tommy Wright in higher esteem because he's a much better football manager than Callum Davidson.

It wasn't just about the terrible football and the reckless spending, to be fair. He's also a narcissist and a bully who would immediately freeze out any player for putting a foot wrong on the pitch, and then throw them under the bus in post-match interviews. By the mid-point of his tenure, it was clear that he was already starting to lose the dressing room. The atmosphere was entirely toxic and the players were terrified to try anything remotely adventurous out of fear for the consequences of making a mistake. When questioned on the performances, he'd simply say things like 'St Johnstone don't have a right to be in the top league'.
Despite all of this, Davidson seemed untouchable because he had practically been allowed to handpick everyone who worked at the club (and he clearly had something on the local lickspittle journalists as well). It was truly remarkable that he lasted as long as he did.

He’s still got it.
I counted thirty-three in the space of 2 mins and 23 seconds, but I could have potentially missed a couple.

Queens Park will likely end up in the promotion play-offs before enduring the most depressing two years of their existence.

Has Callum learned anything?
Hopefully not. Fingers crossed we'll be receiving big-money bids for Ali Crawford and Cammy MacPherson in the next couple of days.

Fine coach, but not a manager at any level of the game. My sympathies go to Queens Park. Give it a few months before he has alienated half of the squad and half of the fanbase.

Another good set of results for us today.

It also gives them more time to work out Dara Costelloe's best position.*
*To help them out and save a bit of time, Dara Costelloe's best position is 'None'.

That’s enough St Johnstone pish on here thank you. We could’ve give a f**k about your club. Only our own
Ok, I’m sorry.

The Perth acting like they're opinions are footballing gospel when they hounded out Davidson for his negative football.
Now they have the master of negativity in Craig Levein.
Dimwits.
Thank you.
Oh dear. If the sole issue was ‘negative football’, I don’t think we’d support St Johnstone at all. Callum Davidson wasn’t hounded out for his negative football. He was hounded out for being a narcissist whose stubbornness would have destroyed the club if he was allowed to continue as manager.
Thank you.

You know fuckall about him and either does the other wetwipe Perth Saintees in here.
Dochertys worked with youngsters such as James Maddison at Aberdeen and has a track record of bringing them through.
Shut your pus and let the football do the talking. Quite sick of seeing Boredoms pie charts and Ludos negativity every transfer window in all honesty. Wasn't long ago Ludo was berating Bowyer leaving and whipping up as much anger as he could across all Dundee platforms.
Costelleo has much more of a chance to progress with this manager than MacLean who was clearly a moron. Being around players of a better calibre should help aswell.
Thank you.
Respectfully, you’re clearly off your rocker.

He clearly wasn’t guessing. That comment was clearly because he was getting p’d off with the comments. He’s now saying it’ll be his last.
I certainly wouldn’t be apologising to someone who thinks that supporters’ opinions on a footballer should be automatically discounted if any football manager disagrees.

I’d find this a lot funnier if it was Dundee United.

Gutted. I’m very excited to follow his progress and see how successful we’ve been as a stepping stone to better things.

Heard on the grapevine that Beck has been ‘recalled’ because Liverpool have received a big-money offer from St Johnstone. Should be announced by the end of today. Slight downgrade overall, but relatively pleased with him as a Robinson replacement.

When the voice on the London Underground says 'Cockfosters'. Never gets old. I'm in hysterics every time.

Not sure how to feel about this one. In recent encounters against Celtic, Rangers have allowed their fragile ego to get in the way of their gameplan. As far as I’m aware, they are the only diddy club in the Scottish Premiership who continually try to go toe-to-toe against Celtic for 90 minutes. Inevitably, it ends in defeat.
I imagine that Philippe Clement is quite an intelligent man compared to his predecessors, so maybe they have a fighting chance with more of a realistic tactical strategy.
Yeah… Business as usual.
Instead of criticising the other Premiership teams who play with ten men behind the ball against Celtic, why don’t Rangers give it a go and give themselves a fighting chance once in a while?

Wouldn't be overly excited if St Johnstone signed Fabio Silva. Flop player. Will fit in pretty well at a flop football club.

I know it’s harsh to be too critical of children, but Costelloe fills me with an uncontrollable rage. I think the Charlie Adam interview triggered it, but it has multiplied tenfold due to his terrible performances and the recent interview where he described us as a ‘stepping stone’.

There’s no way that we can possibly have three Smiths in our squad. We’d become a laughing stock.
