Like what? I was told by folk who witnessed it that people were venting their spleen about the game. It's possible someone closer to him might have said something really cutting and personal, that they didn't hear, but I doubt it.

Are you in agreement with @GAD, then? If the manager has dispensation to tell the fans to "f**k off", what about the stewards and kiosk vendors? "Here's you two pies, now f**k off out of my face!" The staff in the ticket office? I'm not sure I agree that this approach will work...

So if you are at your work and somebody is shouting and swearing at you that you just take it? Gies peace....

You don't think he's underperforming? You don't think fans have the right to voice their frustration?

 

I was including the Livingston game, I think. Jim had gone by then, but you're right, Robinson hadn't taken over.

So 3 points from a possible 15 and knocked out of the Cup. In fairness to him, we have played Hearts twice and Celtic away. I agree that he needs more time. I'm not suggesting he should be sacked. However, I do think as a footballer manager should be able to accept criticism from the fans of the club without telling them to "f**k off." Some of those fans might have been coming and putting their hands in their pocket for decades. It's arrogant and smacks of Wee Man Syndrome.

How to you possibly know what some arsehole fan said to him? Might have been very personal....

Can say its sour grapes but Dundee Utd are fucking woeful, honestly cannot understand why they are 4th, fucking horrific football team.

How have ticket sales been for St Mirren? Hearts have been pretty slow, but seem to have picked up a bit the last few days.

 

1400 sold as of close today.

I'll see your Marwood & Ball & raise you a Heaton & Brock-Madsen!

Brock-Masden was better than Main.

That’s an exaggeration. He’s not bee. Great, but I’d take Main over a Marwood or Ball.

Main is worse.

Brophy is in the first season of a 3 year contract, he's going nowhere. 

More the pity.

Brophy is a superstar compared to Main. 

Main is quite possibly the worst player i have ever seen in a Saints shirt. Brophy will score the odd decent goal but offers very little over 90 minutes. Would be happy to see both away end of season.

He has 0 League goals. Goodwin has tried to credit Main with Fraser's goal against Aberdeen but Main never touched the ball. 0 goals.

So 3 goals, 1 chopped off, would have been 2 behind superstar brophy.

Brophy at least carries some sort of goal threat. He's got 6 goals so far this season. Has Main scored? He scored against Dunfermline in the league cup but I think that's it. 

Think he has 3

It's the manner of the defeats that's concerning. We haven't threatened the opposition goal at all in the last 3 games. Granted one of them is away at Parkhead.

Formation and substitutions didn't fill me with confidence. Why Main comes on ahead of Brophy is utterly baffling. 

IMO Main tries hard but is utter shite, Brophy is equally as bad without the effort yet seems to get a free pass.
