NorthBank Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 A Premier League club bidding £300k for a player? They do that for tea ladies. Think we need another 0 added to that bid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 It’s summer. It’s outdoors. Four million Scots have had at least one jab. The most vulnerable, and way beyond that demographic, have had both jabs. Fans are issued staggered entry times. Still made to wear facemasks. There could maybe have been only 50-100 fans accomodated in the main stand, but it would have been 50-100 more fans, starved of football and a normal life, allowed in. They could easily, surely to goodness, have been kept well away from press and subs. Surely to Christ, the chances of a St Mirren player or sub catching Covid will come from close contact in training, sweating, working out, being close to other sweating, training humans… not from some fans placed in the ends of that stand. ‘Erring on the side of caution’. We’re mere days away from almost full domestic normality returning. This goes beyond being cautious IMHO. Am I imagining the fan numbers in other grounds, and imagining the fans in other main stands? Yeah, but it will be down to our entry and exit points, and the route to the lavvies…. I don’t buy it. Not for one fcuking minute do I buy it. I believe it is jointly down to deliberate choices made by either, or both, of St Mirren and Renfrewshire Council just not to do it. There’s friction between both parties, isn’t there. Hardly bosom buddies. So I was told anyway. None of this surprises me, I’d have put my feckin’ mortgage on St Mirren having a paltry amount of fans in while (insert names of multiple clubs here) had got more in. The junior clubs being on a par with us is the surprise though. No hold on, that actually doesn’t surprise me either.My understanding is the likes of "red zones" are likely to be required beyond 9 August and therefore as SMFC have designated the full main stand as their red zone we will still be operating with a sizeable reduction in capacity after that date. That info came from a member of the board at Kilmarnock before you ask and I have no reason to doubt it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTOF Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 JG on STV, saying that we're in for an attacking wide player, who would be a loan, but he would like to make it permanent. It's 50/50 at the moment. Not far enough down the line to say it's happening. He's a player he's been a big admirer of for a number of years. Has also been more dialogue regarding McGrath and McCarthy, but no fresh bids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Pacy winger, surplus to requirements, potential loan leading to a permanent deal, big admirer... ..all that points to someone like Jordan Jones, rather than Middleton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty Kennedy would seem more likely as a permanent transfer than either of those two. Goodwin offered him a pre-contract before he left The Fakes. Meh.

Stan Bo Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I really liked Kennedy at St Johnstone, seemed like another attacking player McInnes couldn’t get the best out of. not sure where a player like that fits in to the side though! Same for a Jordan Jones type 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I like Kennedy. I know it hasn't worked out for him at Aberdeen, but anytime I saw him playing for St Johnstone wide or central he was always one of the better players on the pitch. I'd be more up for signing him than some of the other names mentioned. He's 26, got loads of experience playing in the league and plays a couple of positions. Got "Goodwin signing" written all over him. I would expect we wouldn't be the only team in for him though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodwin seems to be becoming a specialist in turning rival teams' cast-offs into decent St Mirren players. We've watched other teams do this successfully for years so I am fully on board with this strategy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 Utterly fucking shite. Call me a moaning b*****d all you like but this stinks of the club already having the season ticket money off folk and are offering a patchy stream to those who don't get in next week, so why even bother applying for a higher capacity licence? That 1,000 person discrepancy between what is acceptable and what our safety team are allowing is massive as well. Around 1/3rd of our season ticket holders. The club really needs to address this. Also, why is there a meeting anticipated on 9th August to discuss capacity? Even with a section of the main stand being part of the 'red zone' all fans who want in after that date should be getting in without question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
