Ric Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 18 minutes ago, RandomGuy. said: Yeah, I literally emailed them once, got ignored, and have never emailed since. Thought it might be handy to highlight a player since I'm aware the club have no scouts and that the manager was about a month into the job and likely focused on other things. I doubt they even read the email tbh. Heh.. although I can see why you might have thought it, it wasn't a dig at you, or at DJC either. I understand emailing your club about the odd player, I was more aiming at the obsessives who - while, perhaps well meaning - seem to think they are some sort of footballing 'uber sleuth'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think clubs are fairly unlikely to pay attention even allowing for the fact that, in this case, you were largely correct. I know of a Saints fan who tried to tell Gus MacPherson about a young Andy Carroll, who was available for loan from Newcastle. Gus shrugged him off; didn't want to know at all. Gary McAllister used to get very arsey in the press room at Coventry if we questioned his decisions. "What would you know, you've not played the game at the highest level..." kinda thing. This is probably similar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope not. I've never emailed the club asking them to take a look at players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralstonite Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Having beaten Aberdeen, and with one half of the OF out, we really have a reasonable chance of getting to the final if we can avoid Rangers, IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally a draw against one of the OF isn't the worst thing as cup game gate receipts are split. This season though it's possibly the worst draw you can get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I for one wish you every luck Have always enjoyed my away days in Paisley ( well apart from when we lose obviously) We also have to thank you for Fergie, Weir, Frankie, Scanlon to name a few. Maybe not so much Ricky Gillies Edited November 29, 2020 by Sheep62 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 SMISA members getting the option to pick next season's kits. 4 home and 4 away options. The 4 home options are absolutely grim, 4 is easily the best of a bad lot for me. Pictures to follow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
