zippy' talking about his time at Saints

Not yet but good numbers nonetheless. Might be by kick off

Think we knew it was coming. Papers started hinting at it within hours of him leaving Saints.

Yeah, I dont think any of it was from the lack of application either. Definitely more suited to a wider role (IMO) and often struggled playing behind a striker. Especially last season when most of the time the ball was fired to him 2 feet above his head.

He's still at Rangers with another year on his deal. They tried in January. I think the issue could be him not overly keen to give up his current wage with a year left and move to what the likes of Saints will offer. Plenty effort last season without much end product. Passionate little guy as well.

It'll be Murphy off the striker & MacPherson is a cert to start. Mahon a cert to not start also.

Playing for us would have tied him to only one loan move though, I presume? That certainly was the rules pre covid. Was extended to three during that period. Presumed it had changed to back to 2 now. It would mean if the Montrose loan didn't go well. He would then be stuck not playing post January as he'd not be eligible to play for a third team this season.

Looks like Stevens fills the mould of that younger player. Surprised he's given him the chance but i'm presuming he's shown to be worthy of it during pre season.

In my opinion Saints have an element of the support who think/behave like think they're better than the other fans. They see themselves as "better" more loyal fans etc. They're special because they get a bit ITK info etc. Because of that they show a bit of snobbery and because rightfully or wrongfully RG has criticised the the club in a manner they didn't like they've all jumped to its defence. It's a bit like a mean girls clique I'm sure all clubs have it but RG has felt the brunt of it. He probably would have been best served to not even comment on the subject due to the inevitable response but we all live and learn. They wouldn't say a single thing of it to his face.

Have some pints in town. Group up with some other Hibs fans on the train cause the pubs will be dead as no many go to town before the football because it's the opposite direction from where most live. No2 bus up the road outside the ground. In ya go. 0-0 and off down the road again.

That was a massive frustration of mine last season and for some reason I've completely forgotten the problem existed. Half the League have sussed out to do if at McDiarmid as they know we've got that problem. Especially if you add Davidson into the midfield. Very little in the deeper areas with the ability to penetrate with a pass. Resulting in us gifting possession away or losing possession in a dangerous area for ourselves. I can see that still being a continued problem if the Annan & Ayr games are anything to go by. Hopefully Carey's delivery from set pieces helps. We're likely to have better delivery from both sides in Montgomery & Wright but I have very little hope that those in the box will finish the chance. When's Kane fit?!!

Interesting what other fans think of him... I wasn't overly impressed. He was alright but not a stand out. In terms of his personal views... He's a bit of a Novac Djokovic.

He's signing for Shamrock Couple of articles saying it popped up.

There's a certain group of Saints fans for some reason who turn their nose up at other Saints fans. Like they're somehow a set of superior supports who are more knowledgeable and "bigger" supporters than others. They turn down their nose at anyone who questions the clubs professionalism and organisation etc. You'll know who I mean. Football isn't about who knows more or who is a bigger or better supporter. It's a hobby and everyone should enjoy it in a way and extent they like. If that's being fanatical or if that's doing a Twitter account doing match analysis then those things are fine. People don't need to be so negative towards others because they view the hobby in a different way. I wouldn't stop what you're doing because of anyone else if it's something you enjoy. I'd maybe just change how you phrase criticism when someone has left for family reasons

Whatever the reason is. Good luck to him. Hope he and his family are alright! It gives the young lad from Millwall an opportunity. Good luck to him. I hope for our sake he takes the opportunity and does well.

I'm not sure how anyone can have any idea whether or not he is the saviour. You';re correct though. He won't play. Playing like 8 mins in a pre-season friendly against Cove isn't enough to decide they're completely satisfied with a player. Some fans becoming completely polarised by the age of the signings. 32 = rubbish signing 20 = good signing. I know we can't necessarily strengthen every position in one window but for me the biggest alarm bell now is someone to score goals. May isn't magically going to score more than 5 league goals. He hasn't managed it in 7 years. it won't change now. Jury is out on Bair. Friendlies he looks fine but looks lost in proper competitive games.

Remi and him both announced by the club now.

Central defender so potentially does give some credence to Cleary wanting to leave.

Fall out after his sending off? I presume Cleary wouldn't take to kindly to being publicly singled out.

Max away on loan will be one. Thought that may end up being the case.

It's certainly more what Saints need. Centre forward rather than another winger type.

Wee Glenn for round 3?

Parish thinking f**k the boo boys I'm done? Surely not though...

I think Remi Matthews is all but a done deal on loan to Saints so can't see the McCrorie one being a goer anymore. We'll soon find out though

So much so when I tried to edit my reply. It posted it twice
