Seems a long trial? Surely 2 weeks is enough to make a decision either way?! I see he was sent off 3 times for Gillingham last season. https://www.kentonline.co.uk/medway/sport/he-needs-to-learn-gillingham-s-on-loan-watford-midfielder-263511/

Ex Watford and Gillingham central midfielder. 21 year old... Surely to young?

After some blind optimistic you're quickly reminded you're wrong to be optimistic watching that on Saturday. He's taken being pragmatic to a level where he's strangled the players of any confidence and it's clear to see. If all your teamtalks and planning consist of "keep it tight" "let's not lose an early goal" "let's avoid a defeat". What do you think the outcome of that constant negative talking does to the players body language and mindset? I can't see the board even remotely considering sacking the manager. The club never seem to accept fan criticism and the unhappy fans will be seen as moaners - that's how the other criticisms such as poor communication are perceived. If you offered the board another season like last they'd be over the moon with that.

I've watched them all summer getting beat my plumbers, joiners & bairns of Annan and QoS. Deservedly so as well. He's still a c**t.

Bair is miles off being up to it. He's got absolutely no idea how to use his physique to his advantage.

Shock. Hibs fans. Bairns...

That sums up Saints and my frustration. No attempt to win the game from Saints. Just negative Davidson. Especially against a Hibs side apparently struggling. Made it easy for them. Same old nonsense interview from Davidson incoming.

Regardless of the result. Zero attempt to win that game whatsoever. A very poor Hibs side but a Saints side short on conviction.

Oh no. Not gifs.

Can't dive about like a complete gimp and expect not to be boo'd. How he gets away with it is beyond me. I've seen him dive about 15 times in recent years. The embarrassing defence of hib from Hibs fans is astonishing. He's a massive moron.

Looked like a goal kick to me. Porteous over celebrating in front of the Saints fans. He's not a knob though

Refs not got a clue. MacPherson won the ball.

It was coming. Someone was dying to show him a lesson for being a massive bellend.

Interesting the referee demands Montgomery to get to his feet....

Another embarrassing dive from Porteous at that corner.

Ref couldn't wait.

Theo Bair isn't the answer. End of story.

So at what point do we admit he's full of shit? Henderson's dive was even worse.

It's the usual from him though. I've seen it at McDiarmid multiple times even since covid.

Heard the reasoning behind Cleary leaving tonight. Cleary is just doing what's right for his young family and the club haven't been stitched up or anything like that. Cleary wasn't aware of the issue until recently. For those who think the club should have looked for a fee. They possibly could have done but for the nominal fee they'd end up getting for me, it was the right thing to do. The loan move that was mentioned probably isn't a goer as the issue isn't just going to go away. It fits well with the "family club" and if Cleary is ever asked by another player in Ireland about a potential move to Saints, it'll paint the club in a good light. The club have put the player and family first and ahead of financial gain. In the modern era of football that's not often the case anymore! edit: the good news: No one is dying or has cancer or anything like that.

He looks awfully old there

Our issue is May has scored something like 10 in 70ish league games. Theo Bair hasn't had much chance so won't judge to harshly but has shown glimpses in pre season games but the min the competitive games came around he looked miles off it again. He was signed last January and the manager failed to give him a single competitive start from January until the League Cup this season. Jumping to conclusions here but I'm presuming the manager has a reason for that and top of the list in my head is that he's not very good! Time will tell, I know Doidge isn't a world beater but we've started putting some good delivery into the box recently and its wasted with May hoping around getting nowhere near on the end of anything. Doidge would give me more faith in being a threat. I've put an awful lot of explanation into this considering its all a completely hypothetical point about Mr Doidge it certainly does explain why Saints fans would bite your hand of for someone like him.

Davidson would love to do so. Let's not lie. He's miles better than who we've currently got.

Doubt it. Maybe though. If there's one in the pipeline we'll maybe get the "I seen XXXXX in the Main Stand" after the game.
