    Tommy Wright is coming under sustained criticism for the first time at Killie after yesterday. Yes, we are second in the league, but the general opinion is that the football is eye bleeding and that we have just squeaked some of our wins. He has easily the biggest budget and this is his team, but we appear to have no plan and he rarely seems to change games with his decisions. What the Saints view, given his outstanding record with yourselves? Should we be patient?

    This is exactly how I felt about him but it is difficult to argue against his record. I would guess, moaning about his budget will come next

    My dear old mum would never have dreamed of using an acute accent (or à trois). 


    “The earliest example noted in the DSL is from the 1815 the Highland Society’s Report on Savings Banks and shows how menages were more convenient than the Banks: “The disadvantages of Friendly Societies have given rise, in many parts of the country, to institutions known by the name of Menages . . . a certain number of persons agree to pay a certain sum each, periodically, for a certain period.”

    Seems locality plus time passing has different spellings

    Actually, it all originated with people on here making out as if the reason for a bad atmosphere was because of ‘day trippers’ and it’s just a load of nonsense. I’ve had season tickets in the past and the atmosphere at most games (i.e. the ones which are almost entirely attended by season ticket holders) is brutal. It’s like a morgue, with the exception of a handful of guys down the scoreboard end.

    They have such a weird sense of self-importance, and that’s what rubs certain people up the wrong way. I don’t get why people can’t just go and support the team without creating their own wee weird hierarchies.

    You don’t do irony do you?

    The wall isn’t caving in, chief - a fan climbed on it. Football fans do stupid things all the time that could be considered a health and safety issue, whether it be climbing a wall, pitch invading. Wouldn’t be surprised to see that “standing” is considered an issue these days as well.

    I don’t believe for one second that a H&S officer would hammer Saints because one daft idiot decided to climb a wall.

     

     

    If someone falls off the wall and injures themselves, there will be all sorts of investigations. If it’s then proven that someone previously climbed the wall and Saints did not take all reasonable measures to prevent it happening again then they will get absolutely hammered by HSE and probably the football authorities too. Closing the section is a reasonable measure. It’s really not too difficult to understand

    There is zero chance us getting anywhere near the money Kerr/McCart being offered down South, IMO.

    I agree but at the moment I’m not sure there are any bids for those two from down south. I know there is reported interest but that’s to be expected right now. Now I think the chance of us keeping them is probably slim but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.

    Hoped that after 13/14, but what followed was a complete mess of a window where we replaced May with Brian Graham, and a season of some of the worst football I've seen us play since promotion.

    Hard to blame new fans who decided not to bother tbh.

    Hopefully lessons were learned and we can attract at least some more fans. I doubt we'll be doubling our support or f**k all though.

    Perhaps a different manager may look at making a different quality signing. Not trying to blame Wright, ah f**k it I am, but Callum doesn’t seem to have a scattergun approach to signings. Particularly not donkey target men

    I know it’s been mentioned before, but I do wonder if Tommy Wright has any regrets about chucking it when he did.

    I mean, what you’re saying about where we are in terms of a brilliant starting position is kind of where I thought we were at the end of 2019-20 when TW quit after the form we were showing in the second half of that season. A young team signed up for a few years showing great promise. Plus the added bonus of Hendry banging in the goals at that time.

    Obviously Callum Davidson has had a massive impact and the amount of success we’ve enjoyed so quickly is tremendous, but it’s not far off the team Tommy put together. 

    Same keeper, back 3 and he signed Rooney to play opppsite side from Tanser.  McCann, Craig  or Davidson in centre mid with Spoony just ahead, Hendry up front with May whereas now it’s Kane and May (or Melamed).

    He surely must sit watching thinking its basically his team and it could have been him!

    I don’t think we would be nearly as good without Callum.  Certainly don’t think we would have had the success
