Don't think we've had a c**t in the Goodwin mould. Morton have been such an irrelevance to us for so long that many of us would struggle to name more than a couple of your players from the last 15 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Blue Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 23 minutes ago, Coventry Saint said: It's impossible to answer that without sounding like I'm trolling, but you've been so far below us it's been quite difficult to care. Another few seasons like the last couple and I'm sure we'll develop some hatred for one or two. Players generally don't hang around for as long, either, so it's sometimes hard for antipathy to really kick in. That was partly why I asked and I'm genuinely not surprised to hear you say that. Stevie Mallan was probably the closest for me last season although I wouldn't say I hated him just disliked the wee c**t because he was a cracking player and wore the black and white! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as a fan, he definitely had one of those faces I am drawn to dislike the players that you guys like more, but generally I think you have a difficult-to-dislike squad at the moment. Mind, if you can be bothered, have a look at our highlights from the weekend. We're 2-0 up when Airdrie are given a penalty against us and Gary McKenzie has an absolute heads gone moment. I could imagine him being a player that might wind opponents up a little more this season. I think I've pasted the time code correctly here: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be one of the worst I've seen in a while if it hadn't been for Hearts efforts against the pars. Theirs been some horrible misses in the league cup this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest are there any ton players that St.mirren fans have had a real dislike for recently? Don't think we've had a c**t in the Goodwin mould. We were so shite last season, bar the final match between us, I was finding it difficult not to hate some Saints players, never mind your players. I don't have any great dislike for any of your current players. O'Ware comes closest in mild dislike, simply because he keeps scoring against us from unmarked headers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As things stand: ------------Samson Irvine - Baird - Mckenzie - Stelios Smith - McShane - McGinn - Morgan -------------Sutton - Reilly If everyone was fit and we signed a new striker: ------------Samson Irvine - Davis - McKenzie - Eckersley ------McShane - McGinn Magennis - Smith - Morgan -------------Striker------------- 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samson Irvine MacKenzie Davis Eckersley/Stelios Magennis McShane McGinn Morgan Reilly Smith We are on the lookout for another striker as Reilly cannot appear to play there on his own and Smith may take over Magennis role moving Magennis inside to replace McShane. But 4-4-2 if Reilly is playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All very well being a loan striker, but the three behind have to give you some help, and against Thistle especially, he got none, with Smith, Kirkpatrick and being pushed far too deep to be of any real assistance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest are there any ton players that St.mirren fans have had a real dislike for recently? Don't think we've had a c**t in the Goodwin mould. As said, O'Ware probably comes the closest. Mainly because, again as said before, he's got a knack of scoring (or nearly scoring) against us. I wouldn't go as far as to say I hated him, just heard myself say things like "We'll need to watch that cnut O'Ware" or, more often "Why's nobody marking that cnut O'ware" Edited August 1, 2017 by Saint Garf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another striker will come in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young gun Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I like Reilly and feel he will score plenty, on Saturday him and Smith never gave the defence a minutes peace 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
