I want to say Dom somebody. Fucking hell, creeping senility. I think he turned out shite, but plenty fans were pissed off he signed for you. Shimmin was actually a good player until he decided he was mysteriously injured and was never seen again. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Yes, that was the fella. IIRC (but given I couldn't remember his name, that's admittedly in doubt) he trialled for us then signed for Morton. Quick wiki glance says he's only managed four senior appearances since leaving the Ton. What a waster! Fake edit: Gus was impressed, apparently.http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/st-mirren-take-former-arsenal-984686#Otk52UIRCRM3TqbF.97 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 On ability alone Shimmin was easily good enough for a top six side in this country. Unfortunately he couldn't be bothered playing football and was a wage thief who liked to fake injuries. Well rid in the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigton Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Plenty of tv trucks parked outside Cappielow this morn. No blockbuster signings just Premier TV there for Celtics U20's v Annan tonight. Bummer!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Jose, he was a massive character in Scottish football and was one of those guys that fans found it impossible to hate. The same thought occurred to me about young Jai. He's lightning quick and increasingly willing to try the near impossible which, when it comes off, is brilliant. I think he may be bigger than his old man already and apparently , at Rugby Park particularly showed some physical presence - which is good news for us also. I remember wee Jose playng at Cappielow (was it for Hamilton or Alloa ?) and he was getting his usual reception from the cowshed. He responded with his arms out and was like ' aww c'mon... me ?' Definitely couldn't hate the Jose Edited August 2, 2016 by cornbeef 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading through the Morton fan site this afternoon. Confidence seems very high. Should be a very healthy crowd and hopefully a game with plenty of goals and incident. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornbeef Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I'd also like to know where the Aidan Nesbitt info came from... I see he scored an equaliser V Annan in the whateverits called cup at Cappielow. Currently 3-1 to Celtic under 20's 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's a stick on for a 0-0 borefest now. Hard to know what to expect - I was worried after seeing two of our group opponent take doings off U20 sides tonight, but I gather Clyde have fielded youth players. The fact that St. Mirren will be expected to attack us from time to time means that we may get space to attack in return, in the way that Berwick's "9 behind the ball" didn't allow us. We did well against Killie, but in truth Killie had no idea what they were doing. A draw does seem likely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Sutton, Morgan, Gallagher, Walsh, Shankland, Hardie, Mallan and Clarkson available to us I think we'll be on the front foot the whole time, but my fear is that our midfield is too lightweight.I'm going for 4-2 Saints. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Div Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Morton fans very confident of a clean sheet. I assume the back four and keeper that shipped three goals in Paisley at the end of last season have been replaced then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 A bad day in Paisley isn't really negating my hope of a clean sheet tbh. It's more than achievable. Whether we score is another matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
