No disrespect meant to Dundee but very surprised to hear Strain moving to Dundee it's a side step no matter how you look at it. Are they paying over the odds a club already accumulating mass debt I understand. Great player when fit . Rooney is certainly a great replacement.

The Billy Abercromby biography ‘Aber’s Gonnae’ Get Ye’ is one of the best fitba’ books I’ve read. One of those books that, if you are simply a Scottish football fan, not necessarily a St Mirren fan, is worth reading. As funny in parts as it is sad. Aber’ clearly had his issues, and demons. He married the lassie who lived across the road from me in Spateston, and back in the day, I played golf with him a couple of times at Lochwinnoch GC. Never knew him any more than that, but he was good company on the golf course.
Goes without saying, the guy was a bona fide Saints legend. Like Fitzy, or Davie Lapsley etc. In the top bracket, no questions asked, of St Mirren legends.
RIP Aber’.My mate text me the shocking news. I told him you need to read the autobiography one of the best football books I have read. The book hits the mark on football and life.

Hibs
Have they not just been handed 1 million into their player budget by a new investor I'm sure I read that somewhere ?

Some journey man. You have seen a fair amount of highs and lows.
Outside of the Fergie era, what has been your most enjoyable season(s) or moment(s) to memory?The transformation of the club when Fergie took control. Pre Fergie home gates were around 1,200 I remember one time it was 900 the club had fallen by the way side. It was not too long before home gates were hitting 12,000 . 1977 a mid week trip up to Dens Park would confirm we had won the league. I was 16 and won a half bottle of vodka on the bus raffle. What a night. My mind is a bit foggy but one of our first games in the top league was against Rangers at Love Street. I think it was a 3-3 . Remember it being a great game we were competing evenly. The atmosphere was electric. Another stick out was my first trip with St Mirren junior supporters to Tynecastle on a Wednesday night. Back then their was no M8 so away trips to places like Kirkcaldy the bus would leave at 10am. Plenty of great times but these wee stories stick out as magical times. Thanks for asking.

Just got my first senior citizen season ticket this morning. To think my first game as a kid was 1967 being a regular ever since blows my mind.

Robbo moves on who would we look at. No Pep or Klopp comments
( IF ) Robinson leaves I can see him taking quite a few back room staff. ( IF ) Robinson was to leave would like to see our club try and entice Tony Docherty.

Sunderland forum 24 pages in on Robinson he certainly is not a popular choice. The latest post seems to indicate talks are happening. He reckons Robinson wants his back room staff which could be a problem . It's a fans forum so could be a load of old cobblers.

This is the first Robinson link that I've genuinely been a bit concerned about.
They have been such a car crash of a club for too long. They are a sleeping giant capable of 40,000 home fans its the type of project Robinson would love only if Robinson can have full control. Fingers crossed Sunderland get their first choice.

Surely the worst pitch in Scotland is Dundee’s grass pitch in the top flight.
Dundee chose to invest in their squad rather than improve their pitch which resulted in a top 6 finish.
You honestly could not make this up
.
They laid off their groundsman to cut costs are also heavily in debt again by millions of. They have invested large sums into the squad. A club who has went into administration twice is a huge risk. As for grass it costs thousands a year to maintain. St mirren's pitch currently being laid is £130,000 then maintenance costs above that. That could be two to three decent signings. Each to their own grass for me .

If we had natural grass there wouldn’t have been a game on last night.
So it goes to another date. There is a reason the best leagues in the world use natural grass and not plastic. Can you tell me why the biggest competitors in football only allow grass.

Did you see the rain? The only reason the game went ahead last night was because it was on plastic.
Not a great time of year for rescheduling fixtures either.
Is that you best for plastic grass , seriously ? Mate the rules will be changed soon for the top flight to ban plastic pitches. Clubs like Raith don't have the financial cost of laying a grass pitch. Average cost £130,000 I understand that's what it's costing St Mirren laying a new pitch just now. Each to their own for me professional football should be played on natural grass.

No disrespect to Raith but to hell with these plastic pitches so I hope County stays up. Plus a wee trip up the Highlands is always enjoyable.

Battered a young girl as well, they were picking out their victims. If they want to scrap at least pick on someone with similar interests. Killie have been attracting a few dafties so we’re not perfect but so far they haven’t went as low as that.
This is not on we are supposed pride ourselves being a community family club. Last season me and a mate were about to be attacked when they seen my Saints badge on my polo shirt and moved on. I can handle myself even at 64 then. But when you have a bunch of wild chimpanzees wearing balaclavas coming at you I did not hold out much hope. Sent a e-mail to the club who wrote back saying they have received other e-mails of that day and would be brought up at board level. I got brought down on here for making it up. It's been a growing problem that needs curtailed. Police are investigating the 60 year old incident . Attacking a wee girl also shows the mentality of animal culture.

Just been reading a 60 year old Killie fan was hospitalised with serious injuries after he left the stadium. Witnesses said St Mirren fans some as young as 12 set about the 60 year old. Been saying for over a year that a bad lot has attached its self to W7. A 60 year old hospitalised for supporting his team is this what it's come to absolutely disgusting.

I'm currently in a part of Spain where there is very few UK tourists. That's great due to no UK or Irish style bars. BBC iPlayer not available abroad so no Sportscene. As a Saints fan that's bliss this weekend. A routine Celtic win. Congratulations on your league win no question you were the best this season. Enjoy your party.
