Smeato Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Elections are weird aint they. I'll be honest, I never even knew who he was so didn't bother voting for him because I assumed it would be some random academy player, so went for McLean. If I'd known at the time, he definitely would have got my vote! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranaki Well Fan Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 St Mirren fans have voted to give the B&WA PotY award to Aaron Woodall, a junior academy player who is battling a brain tumour. http://www.blackandwhitearmy.com/forums/index.php/topic/39805-b-w-army-player-of-the-year-2014-2015-result/ Genuinely touching gesture. Get well soon, wee man. Well played St Mirren., and from a Motherwell fan too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Yep. Nice move St Mirren fans. Though it perhaps could be argued that he genuinely would have been player of the year had he been in the first team anyway. Like giving the Goal of the Month to that Celtic fan, this is a nice thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Does that mean he got 15% of the vote? No. The vote from the fans side went in a Eurovision style points system. 10 for your POTY, 9 for 2nd etc. So essentially it was ranking the top 10 players over a season.

RandomGuy. Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 It wouldn't of been a pretty neat summation of St Mirrens season if they'd accidentally voted him second or something instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Top 10?!? Bet that was a struggle. You have no idea! Honestly, I went Aaron>Kenny>Goodwin>Mallan>... then started to struggle. This was a very nice way to let the St Mirren senior players know what we thought of them, too. It's a lovely, genuine gesture, with an underlying two fingers up to our undeserving squad.

pozbaird Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Aaron won the B&W Army POTY award, and an Aberdeen player came second. In allocating my own vote, in a Eurovision style vote, I awarded Aaron 12 points, Kenny McLean 11 points, and Marc McAusland 10 points - as he has now left us, was a fan, a 2013 League Cup winner, and a trier. After that, I didn't want to vote for, or award points to, any of them. However, the voting process demanded that I allocate my remaining points to someone, so after Aaron, Kenny and Cheesy, I randomly clicked names, only pausing to make sure I hadn't clicked anywhere fcuking near the names 'Arquin', 'Gow' or 'Wylde'. Div pitched the idea of including Aaron very well. It would obviously be stupid to deny it could be seen as a device to illustrate how shite most of our first team squad have been, but that was not the main thrust of it - as that would be cynically using a young kid's battle with cancer to make a bitter point at our team. It was done to highlight Aaron's battle in its own right, to recognise a St Mirren academy kid's fighting qualities, and to give the wee fella' a boost if he won lots of votes. He won so many votes he came out on top. Hopefully it really does give him a wee lift when he sees his name up there on places like the BBC website and when he gets his award.

pozbaird Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Excellent stuff from the club. Since Kenny left in January, that makes Jim Goodwin the moral runner-up IMO. Well deserved. What have the club got to do with this vote? I don't mean this in a cheeky way - genuinely, I have read a few comments saying 'well done the club' etc. Unless I missed something, and I am happy to stand corrected, this is nothing to do with the club, it is purely the voting results of supporters through the main St Mirren supporters fan forum.The club haven't even mentioned the result on the club website, whereas the BBC and other agencies are running the story visibly.

Fair point but then would the club normally run a story on the winner of the B & W Army POTY? Can't recall if they do being as it's an unofficial forum.

Can't recall if they do being as it's an unofficial forum. Under normal circumstances, should, let's say, Stevie Thompson win POTY, then I wouldn't expect the story / result to be reported anywhere, other than the result being made known on B&W Army itself. Under these circumstances however, it is a genuine story, so.... Anyway, reading back this thread, I was right in thinking there were more than a few 'Well done St Mirren, well done the club' comments. I just haven't seen where the club have done anything to be slapped on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Dunfermline had 75 applications so SM should have a fair few to sort through. Teale is up against it. Needless to some CVs will go straight in the bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I reckon big Jimmy Calderwood is polishing ( or spray tanning ) his cv right now. He sounded very interested when he was on BBC Sportsound a couple of months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
