I'm surprised they haven't yet tbh. If they want to be true ultras then they'll need to harass the players at training sessions 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a hard one to figure out. There are obviously bigger numbers with the ultras but even apart from that, there are more younger fans in other areas as well I feel. Yet the product being served up is dreadful. As I say, hard to explain. If the board look at it all in isolation , the crowds are decent and there is no dissent in the stands. But on the flip, they must have eyes. That's why it'd be interesting to know if the chairman is even watching the team at the moment? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Van Dyke Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Just listened to the courier podcast, Jim Spence reckons it been a pretty good start for us despite not actually seeing us in the flesh! I can only presume he hasn’t seen all the awful stats that were floating about on Saturday evening/ Sunday morning either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good start would have been taking a couple of points from the "tough games" and not just getting beat as many expected. That's without looking at the manner of the results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviemay17 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I think this reflects badly on me, ended up getting pished, watched the Aberdeen highlights and decided it was a great idea to email the club and say I wasn't going back until CD was punted, I have a missed call and voicemail from Ian Flaherty saying he will pass it on to the board and did have the defeated tone of someone who know it's a sh*t show as well. Either way it appears his day to day might be spent dealing with c*nts like me so at least he does seem to be involved 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fife Saint Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) If i was Ian Flaherty i'd be filing any correspondence from fans in the bin, kudos to him for acknowledging. Edited August 23, 2022 by Fife Saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welly boy Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Done the same but i never got an email or call back. So will continue watching Letham JFC till CD does one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think there’s anything wrong with making your opinion known to the club - I’ll just bitch and moan on here and do nothing else, so it’s definitely better than that.

SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Fail to pick up any points in the next two games and you won't be the only ones contacting the club venting your frustrations I don't think. Personally wouldn't bother myself emailing. Can't see them being interested in my views. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact you got a phone calls suggests you were reasonable with what you’ve said though. out of interest, what email address did you send that to?

Broughty Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 ( B ) team can't score either. Max was probably the best player on the park and they started well enough however East Fife were too strong for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact you got a phone calls suggests you were reasonable with what you’ve said though. out of interest, what email address did you send that to? Asking for a friend. It was just on the general contact us section of the page, unfortunately it's a send form so I can't actually fully remember what I had said. It was mainly along the lines of it was heartbreaking to see so much incredible work from Saints since being promoted just being pissed away. With the sales of McCann and Kerr we were given the football is a business, bottom line trumps all treatment, yet when it comes to a manager who is ruining the club, that's where we decide past achievements and tenure has to be respected. I know it's deeply unsavoury to hope someone becomes unemployed, but I'm pretty sure he'll get his contract paid up or paid until he finds a new job so there are levels to it. The thing that really brings me down, is that Saints are so much more than just a football club to me. I have no actual connection to Perth, I was born in Dumfries and lived there until a few years ago, I was taken to a game against Motherwell as a kid when visiting family and it just stuck with me, I didn't follow my Dad's lead and support Celtic, I loved the community feel and felt proud to be a very small part of it, feeling like I belong to something I enjoy and being able to get behind something with a group of passionate people every weekend is the best thing ever. I pointed out that I'm confident Saints fans aren't expecting 6-0 wins or for a manager to revolutionize the game, but we've always appreciated those who gave their all for the club and all I ever want is to turn up and have some kind of belief that my team is going to give it a go, and think they can win any game if they play well. It's really important to not go full rose-tinted glasses on TW, but he was a man I would go into battle for if he asked, his team did the same and I'm pretty sure we all appreciated every last drop of that. Some of his teams were miles less talented than what CD has had, but It's a hill I'll die on - at least there was a plan, at least I could see what he was trying to do. Of course it sometimes blew up in his face spectacularly, but he was trying to win games. Every last bit of that has gone under CD. We're now full of journeymen who'll be gone in two years, likely with us in the Championship. He'll be gone, the Kerr and McCann money wasted, there will be no long-term plan, it will likely take years to stabilise and build again. One thing to TW's credit was he usually had someone lined up to replace the veteran players, he deserves credit for the work he did bringing on the younger guys. CD would just ring Alan Preston and find out which other 33 year old is no longer good enough for Hibs or Aberdeen and we'll give them a final decent payday. I've never felt more disenfranchised supporting Saints, I noticed going to the Hibs game on the first day of the season there wasn't any excitement, it was part dread, part resignation and just part emptiness. We are going nowhere under CD. Hoping not to be the sh*ttest team isn't a form of ambition, and We just need to bite the bullet and get rid. Sure the board might see it as a waste of money, but so was Hector-Ingram, so was John Mahon if CD stays in charge. 39 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
