Best we could hope for is a January bid ramped up if a few teams are in for him.
Would need to be a substantial sum to be worthwhile, as he would be huge loss for the second half of the season.
Sadly he'll probably sign a pre-contract down south and leave for nothing.
That and the fact that with Baccus,s success we might be able to tempt two or three new faces of decent quality in January .
Baccus was up against £100 million pound rated players last night and didn't look out of place . Teams will be keen to get him in their squad in January and will no doubt be contacting Saints over the next few months to get a deal sorted .⁷⁷

Get Gogic signed on a three year contract .

St Mirren will get absolutely nothing from the match officials on Sunday. Lookout for St Mirren players getting booked for their first foul and Rangers players getting away with three or four fouls before a booking. Watch Rangers players fall over on minimal contact and get a foul .
SFA and Sky are desperate for Rangers to get three points , they don't want Celtic to open up a massive gap on Rangers .
Mr Walsh has a remit on Sunday to ensure St Mirren don't win .

I felt the ref gave Hibs a wee helping hand yesterday .
A few moments pretty much highlight this .
In one instance in the first half , Olusanya turns his man has is shirt pulled goes to byline and a foul is given against him when the Hibs player should have been booked .
Second half , Saints break , Manderon gets the ball in the centre circle and Hibs last defender goes through him with a tackle . Referee ignores , when it should have been a booking.
McMenamin booked for first foul in opponents half within a minute of being on .
Small robs defender trying to usher ball out and is just about to cross and ref sees imaginary foul .
Other times Hibs players just fell and got free kicks which allowed Hibs to have sustained pressure.
All these wee decisions helped Hibs get a grip on the game .
That said a few Saints players had off days and Baccus made a difference when he came on .
Hopefully we get a wee break from the ref on Saturday.

Allocation sold out for tonight, no tickets left at ticket office
Hope club can work out a way to keep us dry and if possible open up other sections that would otherwise be empty .

That boy is definitely not from the same gene pool as slavering Mike Graham. Nothing like him.
He,s becoming quite famous over the last 24 hours . Surprised he,s not been named yet . He,s going to have fun explaining his behaviour when he clocks into work .

On the same basis that VAR couldn't give our third goal against Dundee as they couldn't definitively tell if it was over the line and they could not rule out Miovski's penalty as it couldn't definitively tell if he touched the ball twice when striking it, surely they couldn't rule Grieve as offside as he both appeared onside and it took a full three and a half minutes and some creative drawing of lines to come to the decision.
I'm looking forward to these marginal decisions evening out over the course of the season.
It took three minutes and 25 seconds to make that var decision. If they couldn't decide it was offside in a minute the goal should have stood.

Love the new walk out music. Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street, though a song about London is for me, Paisley's greatest contribution to music. One of the all time classics and definitely should have a lasting place as part of the matchday experience.
Only taken 45 years

He's got three years on his 'Boro contract, having just penned a new one in the summer, so it's unlikely we'd be able to sign him.
But quite possible we could maybe get him on loan for another season .

Nearly every single one of us to be fair.
We had also written off Greive and big Olusanya.

Last season when we played Hearts we had Main and Grieve up front with very little back up or cover . This season we can make changes that gives us a fresh front three for the last 20 minutes . Great option to have . We will run Hearts ragged .

Going to Easter Road next Weds on the train for a few beers in Edinburgh. Looking at timings of trains home, could be an issue if game goes to extra penalty and penalties?
Last train to Paisley is at 12.15. Need to get train from Waverley at 10.45 to make that. Taking into account walk to the station, extra time and pens would mean no chance of making the the 10.45?
Either leave early or Saints fans fighting for taxis back to Paisley?
Any thoughts?
Might make sense to park at a train station between Glasgow and Edinburgh and maybe get a couple of pre match pints , which will be out your system by the time you get into your car 4 hours later . I'm doing something similar.

Ticket sales going well again as the game looks likely to be very close to a full house. Good times to be a buddie.
Will Robbo pick the same eleven that pumped the stoolmen last Saturday ?Can see Dunne and Baccus in the starting line up .

I see St Mirren as a team that play football the proper . We get very little from referees and our players are often booked for their first foul . Only reason why Motherwell put us under pressure is because the referee constantly gave free kicks against us every time a Motherwell player slipped . If we have a fair and neutral referee on Saturday Hearts will struggle to beat St Mirren .

Always felt that St Mirren should have appointed Alex McDonald as manager instead of Davie Hay.
Whereas Hay sent in a professional dossier when he applied, McDonald just sent a one liner saying he applied for the job. Hay then talked a good game in the interview and got the job.
His appointment was a total disaster that took us years to recover from whereas McDonald went on to have a decent run of success at Airdrie.
Me too . Asked him about it when I met him in hospitality at Ibrox . At the interview he said Saints had a few good players and with the right signings he would have taken us to Europe . Which he did two seasons later with Airdrie .
I also wondered what sort of careers Sanderson and Black woukd have had a Love Street as they would have been signed instead of Charnley and Elliott .

Great result for St Mirren . Motherwell were unlucky . Though I feel the fact that four St Mirren players were on international duty through the week and played in Mexico , Spain , Cyprus , Kzackstan , Slovakia which I think tired them as the game went on

Very impressed with Tilson so far.
Did Dale Tilson not play for you about ten years ago .

Kettlewell has shown he can take an underperforming squad and make them solid. Robbo has shown he can build a really good team if you give him time. If I'm at Hearts Kettlewell looks the better fit right now.
How are Motherwell doing in tbe league Cup . Best barometer of how good managers are will be after all the teams have played 11 games .

Darmuid would surely go to Hibs as we well.
Giving up the small shornt of success and if that’s it, I give up
Which is why I don't think Hibs would go for Robbo . They have already paid off a manager and two assistants. I think they would have to pay Gray off and pay Saints compo for OCarroll and Robbo if that were to happen. That's another significant amount of money , which could be a decent transfer budget if say someone like Neil Lennon was appointed.
That's what I'm telling myself .

If we do lose Robinson, Flynn could be an excellent appointment. He seems to be a sensible, likeable lad whose remit as our next boss would be to keep things going exactly as they are at present.
Flynn would know exactly what Robinson has put in place, and both he and the existing players are already well-versed in the tactics that are working so well for us. It's essential that we don't bring in a new manager from outside (experienced or not) who would wish to impose different tactics. Our success has been based on a counter-attacking style combined with excellent fitness training and bloody hard work from every player from the first whistle to the last.
Not that I expect Robinson to leave us, of course.
For me Flynn would be a good assistant manager if Dairmid OCarroll was promoted to manager . Would also make every effort to keep Martin Foyle involved .

Think the old firm struggle because they are not used to playing with refs that are neutral .
